Board-Certified
Inspired by One, Built for Many
Dr. Geri Lake-Bakaar founded Evolution Veterinary Specialists with a simple but powerful mission: to offer the kind of care she’d want for her own pets. The inspiration? Zelda, her beloved dog, who reminded her just how deeply animals shape our lives.
A Harvard and Cornell graduate and a board-certified veterinary cardiologist, Dr. Geri brings world-class training and a deep love for animals to everything she does. As a mom, dog lover, and passionate educator, she created Evolution to be a locally owned hospital where pets are treated like family—because that’s what they are.
What Our Clients Say
Care You Can Trust
Sadly we've seen our fair share of ER Vets. Hands down Evolutions is the best out there. They are professional, affordable, compassionate and thorough. We wish they had primary care so we could see them for EVERYTHING! Can't recommend enough - if your pet is in need of emergency care and you want a clear plan for their recovery, look no further!
Lori R.
We’ve unfortunately needed the ER vet services at EVS more than we’d like, but each time between our 2 dogs, we have had nothing but amazing care. They are always transparent with cost. But more importantly, they provide a great service when your regular vet isn’t available. Our latest incident was truly an emergency with a lacerated tongue and we were so grateful for immediate care.
