Our Founding Story
Opened in 1996, Lake Square Animal Hospital has grown to become one of Central Florida’s leading veterinary centers. Founded by Dr. David Gunderson, the hospital was established with a vision to provide the finest quality veterinary care through advanced medical technology, compassionate service, and a deep respect for the human-animal bond.
From its beginning, Lake Square Animal Hospital has been a modern, state-of-the-art facility offering comprehensive general, medical, and surgical care for dogs and cats. The team is dedicated to delivering uncompromised personal service, client education, and preventive health care, ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of treatment in a warm and professional environment. Each visit reflects the hospital’s core values of compassion, concern, and respect for every pet and their family.
In August 2025, Lake Square Animal Hospital proudly welcomed Dr. Lon Miyahira as a new owner of the practice. Dr. Gunderson, the hospital’s founder, remains actively involved in patient care and leadership. This partnership represents an exciting new chapter — one built on shared values, teamwork, and a continued commitment to exceptional veterinary medicine for the pets and families of Central Florida.
