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.
Care You Can Trust
The team at EVS has been nothing but caring and understanding when it has come to the health of my cat. It’s so nice know that she is in the hands of people that truly want to know that she is okay before she goes home. They don’t get mad about how often you call to check up and they answer every question as quickly as possible. They also made sure that we could see her as often as possible so she was also comfortable in this situation.

These folks are amazing! This is the second dog in recent years that they have been able to find what our regular vet could not. They are a loving & compassionate staff. The very first place we turn for our dogs health emergencies. We have been going here for several years now, still the same as the very first time we were there.
