Cherokee Trail Veterinary Hospital

All the staff at Cherokee are wonderful. They treat you and your pet with love, concern and respect. I just took my new rescue to Dr. Keisler and she was so gentle and thorough with Ollie. They are the best!!!

I have taken my pets to CTVH for the past four years. This past week I had my dog spayed, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care we received. Lisa was absolutely wonderful from the time of drop off until discharge. She sent me updates including a post-op pic of my sweet baby pup. We will continue to use CTVH for our pets for many years to come!

They are VERY professional and thorough!! The staff are great and very helpful!! I know my two fur babies are in GOOD hands!!

Took my fur baby here for his first to see Dr. Desiree Stensing and it was a great visit. Everyone was friendly from the ladies up front to the assistant and Dr. Stensing. They all made his first visit there as comfortable and smooth as possible. I will definitely recommend Cherokee Trail Veterinary Hospital to everyone with fur babies. They are kind and gentle and take very good care of your pets. I'm happy that my fur baby Montague "Monty" has a place to ho get his check ups that he feels safe at.

My last dog and my current dog have both had a lot of strange and rare medical conditions. I moved from out of state to here in 2018 and have been using them ever since. They are phenomenal. The staff is always great, super friendly, and is willing to do anything to help out you and your furry 4-legged best friends. I will forever recommend them to anyone looking for a vet.

These vets are not afraid to refer you to a specialist, and will admit if they don't have a lot of info on a particular condition. Dr. Keisler is currently treating my dog Loki and has bent over backwards to help me find a treatment plan that is working for us. I have heard they are a bit pricier than other vets in the area, but I cannot confirm that for sure. However, cost is not important when you cannot beat the knowledgeable, friendly, and caring staff that provides top notch care. Facility is also clean, and their boarding staff is amazing as well!

They have been so good to my sweet Pumpkin. She passed away this Monday they were very kind to me and my sweet kitty before and during her passing.

This was first time seeing this vet office. I was extremely happy with Cherokee Trail Vet. I was able to be in the room and Dr. Keisler was awesome. She answered all my questions even some of a different pet she has never seen. She is patient, kind and very knowledgeable. The Office staff was very friendly and great. Cherokee Vet didn't get afraid of my sweet big baby boy or judge him because of his breed. I have definitely found a forever vet office for my fur babies. Will definitely recommend them to friends, family or anyone looking for a great place to go.

We absolutely love Dr Drye! She is so sweet and caring. Also very easy to work with and doesn't push anything unnecessary. We found her by accident when we moved and needed our one pup to be seen as an emergency. definitely the best vet I have dealt with

After being in the Columbia area two years, I've found the best fit for my pet. Absolutely some of the nicest people I've met in the veterinarian field around. I am so grateful for their attention to my pets needs. They truly care!

I want to start out by saying each and everyone of the vets here are awesome. They take their time to answer any questions/concerns, go over home care instructions in details, etc. Also, the staff here is AMAZING! Big shout out to Lisa yesterday for being so generous and taking care of my baby boy Briscoe. People like you is what makes the world go round.

Highly recommend this vet to any family/friend. Lastly to all, nowhere is cheap anymore so if you are willing to pay more for excellent service for you and your precious animal, then highly recommend going here!

Such a caring group of Vets and staff! Dr. Keisler is definitely my hero! I wouldn't take Daisy anywhere else. Daisy & I love these folks!

I have been going to Cherokee Trail since we moved here in 2006. I have seen all of the doctors and they are all wonderful! The techs and front end girls are very friendly and accommodating. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.

We love Dr Strom. He is always patience with my 2 dogs who are always scared to go to the vet. The nurses we have had have always been understanding. When I have questions about there health they are very nice and no judgment. We have had bad experiences in the past with other vets. We haven't had that here at cherokee.

Dr. McCauley and Dr. Boyette are amazing! They are very thorough and they handle difficult situations with empathy and understanding. They are the best!

Dr. Strom and Dr. Gardner are awesome. I can tell how much they care and love their patients. Susan is an amazing trainer. The front desk and the techs are so welcoming. I just love everyone at this hospital.

Dr. McCauley and Dr. Strom take great care of our Chipper. Cherokee Trail has been our vet for over 20 years. We really like the staff. They are very professional and good with our pets. Highly recommend them.

We recently moved 40 minutes away from this animal hospital and still drive for visits because you can't beat the reliability, responsiveness and professionalism. When we walk in, we feel like family and like we are the only ones being seen in the office even though there are more. My dog has anxiety and is friendly, but doesn't love her paws and ears being touched.

They are so patient with her and won't force her to do things (like clipping ALL her nails-they do what they can and charge me accordingly). They make her feel more comfortable and do a great job with handling her. They provide tips when I have questions of how to continue keeping her healthy. While it does cost a little more than a local animal hospital, it's worth the care and compassion they provide my dog and I when we visit. They are amazing and I highly recommend them! Just remember.you get what you pay for!

Dr Boyette took care of my best friend Charlotte. She was seen for an echocardiogram and she did well. Did a lot of calling around to find an office that can perform this service. Very great ful that they were able to take care of her. Curbside service was great! I hope they continue that service regardless of the virus precautions. Less stress for me as well as Charlotte.*****

I love taking my fur babies to CTVH!! They are always treated like family! The staff talk to my dogs first and then talk to me which makes my dogs more comfortable! I have never had a bad experience with them! We’ve been going there for 10 years now! As long as we’re living in Lexington, CTVH will be the place we take our babies!

Dr Drye and her team have been very polite and professional. When we've taken our puppy in for his check ups, they made sure any questions we've had were answered and I feel confident in their knowledge of what is best for our new furry family member.

I have been a client at Cherokee Trail for more than 25 years. Their veterinary doctors & staff are the BEST! Wonderful people, excellent service, kind and caring attention. Boarding services are also excellent whether for doggie day care or boarding a week. My schnauzer loves Cherokee Trails. Thank you Cherokee Trails!

I called CTVH at about 6:30 on Friday night, as my kitten was very sick when I got home from work. They told me that I should just head straight there and they would take care of us. We had never been to CT and yet when I went in, they treated us like family. Unfortunately my kitty couldn’t be helped, but Dr Cash and her staff were very courteous and explained what was going to happen.

They continued to treat my kitten as if he was a patient there for years, until his last breath. I know that when I do have pets again, that Cherokee Trail will be their Vet Hospital. Thank you all for your compassion and care for Kimchi.

My family and I could not be any more pleased with the care that was given to our sweet Macy and Ginger. In life and in passing the staff at Cherokee was there to give great advice and support when we needed it most. Our dogs always enjoyed their visit and greeted the staff with the same enthusiasm that was shown to them. Now only if we could get the cat to do the same!

My Siberian Husky has been seen by the veterinarians at Cherokee Trail for the past two years, beginning at 4 months of age. We've seen three of the vets who practice there and all have been wonderful. Our last visit was even better. There aren't many Siberians in this part of the world and I know they don't see many. When I called to make the appointment I asked that a note be passed to the vet.

I wanted to discuss zinc deficiency in Siberians and whether or not my dog was showing early symptoms. Let's face it, it's a rare issue in a relatively rare breed and no one can be expected to know every condition possible in every breed. Not only did Dr McKinnon look it up prior to our visit, she knew the various types and their classic signs. My dog was examined thoroughly and kindly, and fortunately no zinc problems.

When my dog was spayed and had a reaction to a pain medication, we were given priority and not charged for an evening visit. Oh, and evening hours are standard on Mon, Tue, Thurs, and Fri for people who work business hours. They are kind, very professional and worth every dime! Their facility is always immaculate and the staff is patient and clearly loves animals--not a given in veterinary practices. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Extremely wonderful staff! From the time we entered the door you could just tell it was a place where they truly loved animals, and the staff was so friendly!!!! Beautiful facility as well! Thank y'all so much for making it so easy for my new puppy and I! Dr. Cash was absolutely incredible!

We always have a good experience at Cherokee Trails. All the vets are knowledgeable and kind. In the last two years, we have lost two of our fur babies due to sickness or age. Cherokee Trail took such good care of our fur babies and of us during the difficult times of losing our pets. They are great and we highly recommend them!

So so happy with the care we’ve received from Dr Hansche at CT. He is so gentle and loving with our dogs, from sitting on the floor to pet/play with them, to kissing my sweet Boston terrier on the head. He is so kind, so knowledgeable and gives you options for treatments rather than insisting on only one way. Thankfully all our puppies are healthy but I have the utmost confidence in Dr Hansche for when they are not. Thank you for loving our dogs!
