“We greatly appreciate the doctors hearing our concerns and collaborating with us on a treatment plan for our pet. Our visit came as a result of needing a 2nd opinion on a surgery. Dr. McKenzie listened to all our concerns, and presented multiple options in an easy to understand manner. When it became clear that surgery was needed, the surgeon, Dr. Weber, performed a seamless and minimally invasive procedure. She was quick to provide updates via phone call, and gave clear post-treatment instructions that have led to an easy-to-manage home care plan. We are so grateful to have our cat, Theo, alive and on the mend!”
“My kitten needed emergency surgery after an xray at her vet showed she swallowed something metal like a battery. Staff was thorough and clear in communication on next steps, costs, potential complications, permission before handing her to a very skilled surgeon and team. They also were very tuned into her emotional needs as a tiny kitten in the ICU and kept her in a quiet area and well attended. The surgeon Dr. Kienitz and the surgical intern Dr. Sirr were excellent. Her waiting for surgery, just home and one week out.”
“We had the best experience at Becker Animal Hospital in Northfield, Illinois!
My dog, Bodhi, had a dental under anesthesia in March of 2025. In December, our vet noticed Bodhi needed another teeth cleaning. I didn’t want him to receive anesthesia again so soon, especially because his breed is sensitive. I found Becker Animal on an internet search for non-anesthesia dental cleanings; they were highly rate. The ratings are spot on! It was a wonderful experience.
Our dog had a temperament evaluation with a vet at Becker first. After, he was able to have a full teeth cleaning without anesthesia. The total cost was $305. Bodhi was wrapped in a blanket and his teeth were cleaned in the technicians lap. It only took about 30 minutes. The treatment included cold laser on his gums to help with swelling, and a post-treatment consultation to review his dental hygiene, findings, and optional dental products. We left with a goodie bag including a dental chew, toothpaste and a toothbrush. Before and after pics and Bodhi in goggles for laser treatment. Yes, they even take pictures for you! The office was friendly, helpful, and communicated beautifully. Stacey manages the dental bookings. She is excellent with answering questions and scheduling. A+ experience!”
“Dr. Walsh has been caring for my pets for over 10 years now. She is a very compassionate veterinarian who really goes above and beyond for her clients. All of the vet technicians and front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. One can tell that the staff here are true animal lovers! ❤️????”
“Dr. Lyons has been our vet for 20 years and she's amazing! Empathetic, explains everything, and truly cares for our pets! Here's our Tortie, Tater Tot, bring very brave this last Saturday during her annual check-up.”
“This is a long overdue review but we love North Shore Family Pet. We have seen several doctors there and all of them have been so kind, patient, and informative about the care of our senior cat. I have often remarked that I wish I got the same time and attention from my own doctors. The office staff is also very helpful and responsive. We love NSFP!”
“Everyone here from front desk to vet techs to doctors are wonderful. Our pooch received such compassionate excellent care for many many years. Dr Mateles is so caring, and very knowledgeable. She spent a great amount of time with our pooch at each visit. We were always able to get an appointment when we needed. When our pooch declined she told us the signs to watch for. Our family is very grateful for all the love and care we received from the entire staff. Our sweet doggie is now in heaven and we will see him again one day.”
“Dr. Vogel seems pretty thorough, trustworthy & caring! Love being able to check out in room vs. having to do at the desk while trying to wrangle your dog. Very clean! Not giving 5 stars, because it is very expensive, especially the medications, but find me a reasonable veterinarian anywhere!”
“This place was very thorough and detailed with what they were going to do with my cat. The staff was friendly and made sure to put his health first before any of the paperwork. They accept Care Credit.”

“Heather was absolutely incredible when I needed last-minute boarding help for my dog. She went above and beyond, showing genuine care, compassion, and understanding—not just for me, but for my dog too. Even though I ultimately didn’t go with this hospital because family was able to step in, Heather left such a strong impression that I will definitely consider Preiser in the future because of her. The staff and the pets there are truly lucky to have someone like her. Thank you, Heather, for being such a kind and caring human.”
“We have been trusting Kohn with our babies for a long time and they have never ever disappointed. You can tell how much they care as soon as you walk into the door. I could go to a closer vet, I could find a cheaper vet but the well-being of my pets makes me continue to return.If you are like me and your pets are pretty much your children you can't go wrong by coming here.”
“Had such a great experience with Dr Miller and staff! Dr Miller was very polite, professional and very attentive in explaining and showing me in layman's terms the issues that was happening with my dog. I felt very safe and confident in her and will continue to return and make this our vet home! Thank you for making us feel comfortable!”
“Truly care for and love what they do. Always follow up numerous times to check on Spot, our dog. Thorough, kind, easy to contact and be seen quickly. Best veterinary experience we’ve ever had. Would recommend 10/10.”
“I'm not a client, but I am a local vendor who delivers here, and I just want to say how much I appreciate L Torres & Sean for being sympathetic & showing unsolicited empathy when they heard (Torres totally picked up on me beimg sad, etc) of my dog's passing this past March. ?. Thank you!”
“thank you Dr bailey for the great job you did in cleaning Roscoe’s teeth and for checking in on him afterwards. We appreciate your expertise and compassion. The price was very reasonable and services was excellent!”
“I want to thank all the doctors and staff here for taking such good care of my Steve when he needed it most. Although ultimately it was his time to say goodbye, I feel like the doctors here really, really tried and really cared about Steve (in particular Dr. Stone and Dr Gentry, but we saw all the doctors there!) even though we were brand new patients. I appreciate the sympathy card and I appreciate how much this office truly does care about the animals and families they see. Steve was a treasure and we will miss him so much.”

“I used to work as a receptionist for a dog daycare, so I've had to talk to different vets all the time all over Chicago. Now, no longer a receptionist and I have my own puppy; Preiser was one of my top 3 to go to. I HIGHLY recommend, they have a wonderful staff and receptionists. The nurses are so kind, and treated my puppy with so much love. Like, I'm pretty sure my dog loves the vet now. They helped refer me to a specialist and helped me make sure she got the best care. Pricing wasn't terrible at all. The doctor called me personally to discuss my dog which I thought was really thoughtful. Also the lobby is so cute, and welcoming. Sometimes lobbies at vets can be rough, like they can smell, be dirty, have strange colors, and have uncomfortable chairs... but not here. It's so cute and cozy, the sun shines in, there are magazines, comfy sheets, and so much space if you have an uneasy or aggressive pet that needs space from other pets. Also I have to point out that all the plants have their own names it's adorable”

“First time with my newly adopted kitten from Orphans of the Storm. The vet completed a health check, complete with nail trim, a few shots that were due and had time to neuter at the same visit. Friendly, easy, clean. The facility is nice with spacious consultation rooms that would fit a family.”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Glencoe Animal from the doctors to every single staff member and technician they are wonderful kind and love everyone’s pets we feel so fortunate to be under their love and care.Suzy and Athena, the 12-year-old Shih tzu (who gives them 100 paws vs just 10)”
“An absolutely wonderful team! They've been caring for our dog through thick and thin for over a decade now (she's closing in on her 17th birthday!) and everyone has been amazing.”
“We just moved here and one of our cats got sick. Northshore squeezed us in and we discovered she had terminal kidney disease. I refuse to see one of my babies suffering to prolong their life so after a day of saying goodbye we returned to have her put to sleep. Every single member of the staff was gentle and caring and made a terrible moment more bearable. I can't thank them enough for their skills and their compassion. They also didn't soak us when it came time to pay the bill and I'm grateful for that too.”
“Great service - friendly and efficient from office staff to vet. Very easy to make an appointment. Love that they don't pressure you into getting your pet a million vaccines or high dollar services. Vet, Dr. Cathy, was great with my dog.”
“We have been going to Countryside since the early 2000's. The care the staff exhibited for our past dog Peter and our dog now, Pauly, has been exceptional.
Dr. Hannah spends a great deal of time at each appointment making sure that we have any concerns addressed. All of the staff has been very kind.”

“In a tiny unassuming office in Lake Forest is one of the best vet practices in the area. I've trusted my crew of dogs with them for over 12 years now. I knew Dr. Timm already from dog sports. The whole staff is careful, thorough and honest. Dr. Timm is one of those vets who I would travel from practice to practice to see, luckily I don't need to.”
“The staff is always lovely and kind! Vets' are very personable and will explain things thoroughly and go over your options. We just recently had an accident where our pup scratched her eye and they were able to get us in that day and take a look. Thank you so much for caring for our fuzzballs!”
“I am a first time dog owner so when my dog injured her paw and was limping, I immediately called our vet. They didn't have any appointments for the following days so I called vca, who were able to schedule me right away. We saw Dr Orzyp and she was phenomenal. She was so patient with Izzyy as she wiggled around and so caring and gentle with her! They were able to find the sore in her paw and prescribe medication. Izzy was back to normal a couple days later! Can’t recommend them enough to help take care of your pet!!”
