A relative simple veterinary clinic. Animal care is acceptable considering basic services. Brown Animal Hospital definitely has room for much improvement.

The vet here is amazingly intelligent and caring. Small facility, but they offer boarding services which is comforting since there is an actual doctor on site. She goes to a lot of trouble to make sure your best friend is healthy.

What a wonderful Veterinarian!!! My 80 year old Father was in the hospital after a horrible fall down the stairs and I had to take his cats to get check ups as well as shots before his move in with me. Dr. Brown was so understanding and gave excellent advice!!! I so wish she lived in my hometown!! I would recommend her to all pet Mommies and Daddies! Lake City has a great asset where she is concerned!!!!
