Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic

If I could leave zero stars for Dr. Stork I would. I want to note the rest of the clinic staff has been nothing short of amazing through my interactions there since I started bringing my cat to their clinic several months ago. I moved back to the area and needed a new vet and knew someone who worked at Lake Mills Vet so I was comfortable starting my cat, Pats, care there. Patrick was prescribed Prozac a few months ago because of some behaviors that were becoming frequent and it was unusual. Looking back I wish I asked for testing - but you don’t know what you don’t know. Fast forward to two days ago, 01/20/25, I watched my cat Pat die in front of me within minutes. I’ve had him for 11 years and nothing would have prepared me for this unexpected situation. Abbey, at the front desk, answered the phone while I was panicking watching my cat pass away in front of me. She was extremely helpful and said I could bring him in. Luckily I had a friend who was available to drive me and Pat to the vet being that I was extremely emotional. We waited for the doctor to come in. As he came in, he did not introduce himself, he showed no compassion or empathy for the situation and totally lacked skills to have a dialogue with me and instead stated “yep he must have had a clot that caused a stroke, nothing could have changed this situation.” He came to this conclusion after being in the room for just minutes, no tests were ran, and no physical tests were done to my cat. I asked if he was sure on this, and even requested tests in which he responded “yep it’s pretty textbook. It can just happen to any animal.” There was no actual examination or tests done (besides using the stethoscope to confirm, my cat wasn’t breathing) just an assumption made by him with lack of context and then he said someone would be in so I could decide what I wanted to do with my cat. He was very heartless and callous. I understand he is there to give his clinical expertise, but how is one to do that when NOTHING clinical was done to confirm why my cat died. It was the shortest, most uncomfortable situation after just watching my cat die I felt like I had to leave as quick as possible. I had to learn his name by looking him up since he didn’t even introduce himself. I highly recommended you to NOT bring your animal to Dr. Stork. No empathy, no respect, no clinical tests or examinations done to back up his diagnosis.

They do great with our cat Merlin. Everyone is so friendly and makes us feel welcome. Dr. Beth is very knowledgeable and listened to our concerns about him and helped us come to a possible solution to the issue at hand. We will continue to go here as needed in the future. My other family members also go here with their pets and have had nothing but positive experiences.

We’ve been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience with any of the staff. They are all extremely friendly and seem to genuinely care. We feel very well taken care of here.
