When I called back to ask some follow up questions I spoke to the practice manager, Ashley, who is so kind and patient. She helped me coordinate convenient and practical solutions. Can’t say enough good things about my experience so far.
Dr. Hurst immediately made us feel at home during Memo’s very first appointment. She has such a wonderful bedside manner, was incredibly thorough, and truly took the time to get to know our guy. The moment she sat on the floor with him and lovingly called him “Mehmoe” exactly the way we say it, I knew she genuinely cared. That meant so much to us. 🥹
Dr. Shanks performed Memo’s surgeries (neuter snd stenotic nares and soft palate resection)on Wednesday the 20th, and we simply adore her. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy and helping him through a successful surgery day. Your kindness and confidence gave us so much peace during a stressful time. Your constant communication meant the world to us throughout the day.
Ashley welcomed me on my very first phone call and we were able to slide into their schedule. Once Memo and I arrived, she was there to welcomed us. It felt incredible.
Amber is Memo’s first girlfriend and vet tech that loved him as her own. He could feel she loved him. Your bedside manner is truly off the chain, keep up shining. Keep spreading your positivity.
A huge thank you as well to Marissa, who welcomed me into the clinic during my very first call to CityVet Lake Worth. Her customer service skills are phenomenal, and her caring personality immediately stood out.
Olivia was so warm and welcoming during registration, offered us a beverage and placed us in a room.
Crystal took incredible care of Memo throughout the entire day, keeping me updated and comforted every step of the way.
Truly, every single person we encountered was compassionate, professional, and caring. Phenomenal staff. Great crew. Y’all absolutely know what you’re doing, and it shows. Thank you for loving our Memo like he was your own. 💚
Everyone meet Winnie! 🩷
Winnie was the sweetest little corgi for her very first puppy visit with Dr. Hurst! She was brave, curious, and full of adorable puppy charm from start to finish.
We loved getting to meet this precious girl and can’t wait to watch her grow! Welcome to the CityVet Lake Worth family, Winnie—we’re so happy you’re here!

🐾 We were so excited to welcome Dr. Barbie to CityVet Lake Worth for a day of acupuncture, chiropractic care, and laser therapy! She treated several of our patients, along with Dr. Shanks’ pups, Dr. Hurst’s dog, and Ashley’s sweet girl, Peaches.
It was a wonderful opportunity to see firsthand how these therapies can help improve mobility, relieve pain, support healing, and enhance quality of life for our furry family members.
We’re exploring the possibility of offering these services on a more regular basis and are excited about what the future may hold! If there’s enough interest, we’d love to make these treatments more accessible for our patients.
