About us

Dr. Lauren Atkinson, Lead Veterinarian at CityVet | Addison, leads the practice with kindness and a deep commitment to her patients' veterinary care. Dr. Atkinson was called to the profession after witnessing the teamwork and attentive care provided to an injured Canadian goose she came across as an undergrad. Today, she provides comprehensive veterinary services, from preventive care to complex surgeries, while building trust-based relationships with her clients through transparent communication. She meets clients where they are and presents families with all available care options for their pets. Throughout her past 6 years in Addison, she has continued to support local organizations such as The Street Dog Project and the ASPCA and plays the cello with the New Life Symphony Orchestra. Under her servant leadership, the CityVet | Addison team is known for its tenure, close-knit culture, and dedication to going above and beyond for Addison pets and their families.
