“There are no words to express how full of gratitude I am with Dr.Tracee Friederich. I stumble into this animal hospital based on desperation and one comment read on Facebook of their experience. I arrived at around 8:30 to see 40-50 people already in line waiting patiently to be seen by them. It was truly worth the long wait (close to 6 hours). I came here seeking a new set of eyes for my yorkies issues. She listened and took note of my long narrative, looked at his previous bloodwork and we saw her take action. She did not beat around the bush and went straight to the action plan that she fully explained. She made my dog feel at home which gave us reassurance. She truly cares about her patients and their parents. I am beyond blessed and lucky to have gone here this morning, it was by no coincidence.
Great things are worth the wait! ❤”
“Was able to get my cat in right away in an emergency situation, and they were willing and able to deal with a very frightened semi feral cat. Tailored her care plan for her situation (cat allows limited touching, can not be pilled, etc). Followed up promptly afterward with test results, and worked with me to find a plan for a less stressful return visit.”
“Dr. Diaz haz a wonderful bedside manner. Very calm and reassuring while making sure to answer all of our questions. The front desk is friendly and reaponsive. Would highly recommend all around!”
“Great job thank you shamrock loves Lepar. The staff is wonderful and very friendly. The grooming staff loves their job and takes care of the pets like thay were part of their family. Keep up the great job. Shamrock loves you all❤”
“Not a good choice if you have a rescue dog that is reactive at all. The staff are not trained on reactive animals, including the Vets. Good for any other animals.”
“The best vet experience we've had since moving home to Chicago from LA in 2020. We started at the Ravenswood location and then moved over to the Logan Square location. Been bringing our 2 dogs here for a couple years now and so pleased with everything about this spot!
Previously tried another vet in Lincoln Park, but they were not compatible with our anxious german shepherd mix. Once we found BLVD, we were golden. Everyone on staff is so caring, gentle, and patient. They take the extra 5 minutes making sure your dog is comfortable and relaxed before starting the exam. This made all the difference with our anxious pup and we were finally able to have a successful vet visit, after multiple failed attempts over the years.
Can't thank them enough. They sincerely love animals and it's evident in the way they approach and treat each animal. Can't imagine ever going to another vet.”
“Was on the hunt for a new vet for my senior dog and my other adult dog as the vet we were taking them to was very far away. Dr. John and his staff were so helpful. I admired the care that Dr. John used when assessing both of my dogs during their appointments. I recently came in for an appointment and Mikey kept it very real with me and was very gentle with my senior dog. Appreciate everyone here and so happy we found a new vet hospital!”
“Dr. Brar is a friendly, knowledgeable, and well-rounded veterinarian. He has taken care of both of my cats, who are 12 years apart, and has provided excellent advice and care for both of them. I truly appreciate his kindness and dedication to my fur babies. I highly recommend Dr. Brar for the care of your pets!”
“The staff and veterinarian were absolutely great. Very straightforward and to the point. The atmosphere is great as well. Ample street parking out front. Brought my feline friend here and she definitely felt at ease as well (albeit she’s easily impressed).”
“I recently moved here and needed a Vet when my senior dog became ill. They got me in quickly and were very pro-active without gouging my wallet. They also called several times to check up on her.”

“The doctor saved my cockatiel. She knew exactly what was wrong with her and gave her the exact medicine she needed and was healed in a week. Wonderful team. Thank you for everything.”
“I have been bringing my dog and cats to Dr. Dahl for about 10 yrs and Iove the kind, compassionate people that work there especially when you have to make the difficult decision to send your family member to heaven which I made that decision for my 21 yr old cat this past June. Dr. Dahl listens and answers all your questions so you know what's going on with your pet. Dr. Dahl is a wonderful vet as are her people. Highly recommend!”
“Front desk: angels
Vet Techs: incredible
Veterinarians: empathetic & compassionate
We are so grateful for this practice and everything that ya’ll do!”
“We have always appreciated the care that our pups have received at WillowGrove. When we had to say goodbye a few years ago to one of our four-legged family members, the staff worked through their lunch break to help make sure her trip over the Rainbow Bridge was comfortable 🥲 Happy to continue to have our pup cared for at WillowGrove.”
“Kind staff, the dr. Was nice, open to questions. They treated my little ball of fur gently. No need of any additional services since they waited to verify they'd be necessary based on the progress my little animal showed. The were patient with this single mom. I have already recommended to other friends.”

“Love love love Doctor Casey. She is very gentle with my reactive dog. She has been taking care of him since Jan/Feb of 2025. He has had 3 surgeries and she is the only one I trust with my fur baby. Love the receptionist Becky, she has very understanding when it comes to my fur baby with him being reactive she always makes sure no one is in the lobby or bring us in a room ASAP. Highly recommended this animal hospital!”
“These folks are super lovely and helpful! My 12 y/o kitty Bella does not enjoy the vet but is always quiet and doesn’t seem stressed here (except if any particularly excited puppy is sharing the room with her 😜)
Front desk staff are very kind, straightforward, and willing to answer questions. Scheduling is easy and they have had great availability for us.
Thanks y’all!”
“It’s not any one thing that makes Kriser’s so great, but it’s the whole vibe and wonderful assortment of products. For as long as I’ve been shopping at Kriser’s, it’s consistently the friendly, knowledgeable & pet loving staff that keeps me coming back! 🐶 💜 🐱”
“This hospital is a great facility, friendly service and they do a lot in house which saves a lot of money. They've been instrumental in keeping my dog healthy and happy while she ages.”
“We have taken our lab mix here for many years. Highly recommend Dr. Kutska. We are also recommend the Optimum Wellness Plan it saves $$$. Staff is friendly & caring, and facility is clean with no unpleasant smells.”
“This veterinarian hospital saved my dog life. I took her to another veterinarian hospital they quoted me a very high price for the surgery she needed. I gave them a call right before they closed they scheduled my dog surgery the next early morning! Price was very affordable compared to my first quote. The surgery was successful, she’s now healing. Thank you again countyside veterinarian center!”
“Dr Gil and Char make a great team. They were able to squeeze me in on a Saturday morning. Char was great over the phone and warm and welcoming once we arrived. Dr Gil took the time to address all concerns and explained everything he was doing. Highly recommended. Your fur baby will be in great hands.”
“Very friendly! My dog does not like to be groomed and they left him looking great. I also took him a couple of months later for shots and it was a smooth process. The vet is really a dog wisperer”
“Absolutely love DeVries! We take our dog here and they make him comfortable and understand his quirks :) They can usually get him in day of when there are needs which is so appreciative! They are truly great here, thank you for everything you do for my dog!”
“I adopted a puppy that was staying at a foster with her litter mates & the foster persons other pets. Before we took her home on 3/1/26 I made an appointment for 3/18 to have her looked over & discuss preventative health plan. On 3/3 the office contacted me to see if I could come in earlier on 3/4, which I did. We met with Dr Sebek and the following day she called to tell me my puppy had 2 parasites found in her fecal sample (hook worm & heart worm). That same day I went back & they gave me medicine to give her for the next 6 days & our follow up appointment was made for 3/25. Im happy to say, no more parasites found. Dr Sebek & all the vet techs were awesome & gave me some good tips & info since this is my first dog. Im so glad I did my research prior to adopting & found an excellent veterinary clinic that will give us the best care. Im so grateful they reached out with an earlier appointment.”
“For ten years I’ve taken my dog to a vet but he moved 2 hours away. So I found this hospital in my town. I’ve seen Dr. Senese twice and she is very knowledgeable and professional. She is so knowledgeable about what medicines work. I took him in for severe runs and she gave such amazing medicine that no other vets ever have. He was feeling so much better with the medicine she prescribed. Today I went for my dogs injured paw and there was a new vet I haven’t seen Dr. Balcazar and she was so compassionate and the first time my dog opened up to a vet for pets besides the one he knew since he was a puppy. He let her examine his paw and even feed him a pup cup which he’s never accepted from anyone before :0 Dr. Senese was so kind and gave some advice on what to do for his paw as well. Theres also a male vet tech who is compassionate as well that my dog really opens up to and allows to be held by when he needs his blood work. They are so compassionate m and really great at what they do. Also my dog is a 90lb Olde/American Bulldog and others vets usually get intimidated, but not here. I highly recommend you take your dogs to Suburban Animal Hospital.”
“Affordable, easy and quick to make an appointment, very good staff. very educated and caring, they communicate well with you. Thanks guys, y'all fixed my girl right up. Quick, too.”
