Dr. Alan L.

Business Owner

I have known that I wanted to become a veterinarian since I was seven years old. When I was 16 years old, I began to work for a veterinarian, helping him do whatever he would allow me to do. Over the course of the following eight years, I was able to watch, listen and learn, as well as contribute some of my developing skills to that practice. I graduated with my D.V.M. degree in 1974. Upon my graduation, I worked for one year at a busy three doctor animal hospital with two highly experienced veterinarians, one of them a surgical specialist. For the following two years, I was employed at The Anti-​Cruelty Society in Chicago, seeing thirty patients per day and performing surgery on at least 2,000 patients over those two years. My dream of working in a more relaxed environment where I could actually get to know my clients and their pets, by spending more time with them in the exam room, became a reality when I began my own practice at Lavitt Animal Hospital in Morton Grove in 1977.
