Bio Coming Soon!
At Gentle Care Animal Hospital, great veterinary care is about more than what happens in the exam room. It’s about getting to know your pet, helping them feel comfortable, and taking the time to listen to the people who know them best.
For more than 20 years, our team has built lasting relationships with pets and families throughout Forest and the Lynchburg area. Many of our team members have been here for years, including our founding veterinarian, Dr. Stevens, giving pets the comfort of familiar faces and owners the confidence of a team that knows their history.
That personal, thoughtful approach has guided us from the beginning—and it’s why we believe Gentle Care is Better Care.
Behind every visit is a group of veterinarians, technicians, assistants, and support staff working together to keep pets comfortable and cared for. Meet the team that makes Gentle Care Animal Hospital what it is.
Many veterinary hospitals offer similar services, but the experience can feel very different. At Gentle Care Animal Hospital, our long-tenured team, expanded services, and commitment to accessibility create a calmer, more dependable place for pets to receive care.
Many of the people caring for your pets today have been part of Gentle Care Animal Hospital for years. Since opening in 2004, Dr. Stevens and our long-tenured team have built lasting relationships with local families, creating a familiar and comfortable experience for pets and their owners.
Our hospital offers a range of services designed to keep pets comfortable and cared for throughout every stage of life, from advanced surgical care to therapy laser treatments that support healing. We also provide boarding and grooming so your pet can stay with a team that already knows them.
Illness and injuries rarely happen on a schedule. That’s why we reserve daily appointments for pets who need urgent attention, helping ensure your pet can be seen as quickly as possible when something isn’t right.
