MedVet Chicago

Experiencia fantástica: Super quick and super kind to myself and my pet. Never ideal to come in with a sick pet but they make the process a lot easier! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was so kind and thoughtful. Will definitely take my dog back here if we ever have an emergency again.

Experiencia fantástica: MedVet went above and beyond with their care for our 8-month-old puppy. Frankie had been sick with pneumonia for over 8 weeks, and our normal vet said they were out of options. We took her to MedVet, where they immediately were able to run tests on her and do a tracheal wash. We learned she had an antibiotic resistant infection and would need injectable antibiotics. Once again, MedVet went above and beyond in making sure Frankie got her injections every night. In just two weeks, her infection that had lasted months, had cleared. Thank you Dr. Teslenko, Dr. Lopez-Aldazabal, and every tech that worked with Frankie!

Experiencia fantástica: We have used Med Vet in the past for surgery and rehab for our dog, and recently had to take our kitten to the ER at their new (to me) facility on California. We received the same great expert, loving care as we have known to trust. A clean state of the art facility, ample free parking, and most importantly educated caring staff- from the front desk, to the vet techs, doctors on call to the specialists- receiving the best care for our pets. That's the bottom line.

Experiencia negativa: I want to this hospital a little over a year ago because my dog was having issues breathing. The Docter there wanted to perform all sorts of test but she let it slip when she said that if they take a urine test it would Rule out 1 of 2 things that could potentially be wrong with my dog. So I said ok let’s do that test and put him medicine. She was admit that he needed both test even tho if 1 test is enough to see what is wrong with him. After arguing for like a jr we finally got the test they put my dog on a breathing treatment and before I left she says I need to keep him in the hospital for the breathing treatment over night but there is a big possibility that he won’t make it. I told her if it is a big possibility he won’t make it y would I leave him alone I rajarse have him at home with his loved ones. She was not happy and kept insisting to leave him she only cares about the money she gets and prays on people with sick animals. My dogs test came back positive for blasto so they gave him a 30 day medicine when I went to pick up the meds she was nasty saying that my dog has a very slim chance of surviving. After my meds team out I asked for a refill and they said they can not give me a refill unless I take him in for emergency again. The first time I paid $2000 and they tried to over charge me for test that I declined. Now they are saying I need to spend another 2k to get a refill prescription that is ridicules. I called abell animal hospital on northwest highway explained the situation they took me the same day and gave me a 2 month prescription for all under $200 a year later thank god my dog la test finally came back negative and she is doing great. Do not go to this hospital they pray on people your better off going to another emergency hospital.

Experiencia fantástica: From the very moment you enter this place, THEY'RE AMAZING!! We come from Indiana. The waitlist for Indiana Rad Onc was a few weeks. So we brought my dog, Blue, to MedVet Chicago Rad Oncology. Dr. Faletti and Nurse Meghan are sooo AMAZING AND THOROUGH, PATIENT, KIND, EMPATHETIC! We're very happy with his Treatment Plan. Any questions or concerns are addressed immediately. EVERY PET PARENT LOOKS FOR THIS TYPE OF CARE ❤️ THE ENTIRE STAFF IS AWESOME!! THANK YOU, MEDVET!! xoxo

Experiencia fantástica: I had to bring my cat here last night because it had become clear that he was at the end of his life. All the staff members who helped me could not have been kinder. Obviously it's never easy losing a pet, but they made things as comfortable for my cat and me as possible, they allowed me time to say goodbye, and they let him stay on my lap as he passed. I really cannot thank them enough for how they treated both of us.

Experiencia fantástica: Had to take my dog in twice in one week for different issues. Although the wait can be lengthy, that’s to be expected just like you can wait at the regular emergency room for humans. The employees really seem to care, though. The check in people were kind and gentle. The doctor was extremely patient with me both times, explaining things in detail and listening closely. I really felt well taken care of.

Experiencia fantástica: We are very grateful for the excellent surgery and follow up care for our dog Molly. We chose quickly after a little research because of the severity of her TPLO injury and need for surgery. Dr. Galley was excellent and all of the follow up when we have had questions to resolve has been amazing. Thank you to the entire team.

Experiencia positiva: My dog Zoie was treated here in September 2025. I’m only now writing this review because her loss has been incredibly hard to process. In May 2025, Zoie tested positive for Lyme antibodies at her primary veterinarian. At that time, we were told it was nothing to worry about and that many dogs never experience complications. In August, she began trembling and limping. We contacted her primary vet and were advised to monitor her temperature. When it was slightly elevated, we were told it was still within a normal range and that, as a large breed (bullmastiff), she may have injured her leg. She was prescribed carprofen and seemed to improve. By the end of September, she declined suddenly and severely. One day she would not get up, eat, drink, or move. We rushed her to the emergency veterinary hospital in Westville. Initially, based on presentation and history, there was concern for a possible torn ACL. However, after further testing, we received devastating news: Zoie had Lyme nephritis — a severe and often fatal condition that was attacking her kidneys. By the time we received the diagnosis, the damage was already significant. The Westville emergency hospital referred us to Chicago MedVet for more advanced care and potential treatment options. The team here was compassionate and upfront with us. They made it clear Zoie was in critical condition and did not give false reassurance. They acted quickly, explained the plan, and I truly believe they tried to help her. The staff was kind during an incredibly painful time. Zoie stayed hospitalized here for about five days. During that time, we were quoted approximately $30,000 for dialysis. I understand that advanced veterinary medicine is expensive and that the equipment, staffing, and level of care required are significant. However, when we expressed uncertainty about whether we could afford that amount, the tone of conversations felt noticeably different. It began to feel as though euthanasia was being presented as the most immediate and realistic option. When the conversation before was she may have a chance without the dialysis she would’ve just needed a critical care plan even when she got home. After speaking with family and arranging payment plans, we informed the team that we were willing to move forward. At that point, the outlook and tone shifted again, and there seemed to be renewed hope. The dialysis plan itself was also confusing. At different points, dialysis was discussed as an option here at MedVet, then later described as something that would need to be pursued at Purdue. It was unclear to us how beneficial dialysis would realistically be in Zoie’s condition, and the overall plan surrounding it felt inconsistent and difficult to fully understand. We were told communication had occurred with Purdue’s team and that her numbers were stable enough to go home briefly before transfer. Unfortunately, Zoie declined rapidly once home. When we arrived at Purdue, we were informed they had not received prior communication about her case and that dialysis was not available there at that time. Ultimately, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize her. I do not write this to assign blame. I am grateful for the medical effort and compassion shown in many moments. I simply wish there had been clearer coordination, more consistent communication, and greater clarity surrounding critical decisions about her care. Zoie was deeply loved, and losing her at just three years old was one of the worst times in our lives

Experiencia negativa: They charge $18 for clipping of deceased animals hair. $45 for an imprint of the paw, $20 for nose imprint, all urns $200+ unless you want a plastic bag. Great workers and doctors tho The only reason I have 2 stars is because of Mike (intern I believe) I would give him 5 stars

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was kind and professional. The building is clean and orderly. We greatly appreciate the care that was given to our pup and us. ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: We are so grateful for the incredible emergency care our boy Lion received at MedVet Chicago. Dr. Salerno was truly kind and compassionate, caring for Lion as if he were his own dog. He walked us through every step and made sure our boy got exactly what he needed during a very stressful time. We felt supported the entire way. The hospital staff was also very nice and patient, and the environment was clean and quiet. We will absolutely return if ever needed and highly recommend MedVet Chicago for emergency care.

Experiencia fantástica: So I have been dealing with my cat's chronic rhinitis for 4 years now. I've seen 5 other vets for this and have tried at least 15 different medications and supplements. It is a very frustrating condition to treat and our house was covered in cat snot. Going to Med Vet was like a last shot hail Mary. I am so glad I did. They prescribed an inhaler for my cat and the changes have been amazing. My cat went from sneezing all day to sneezing maybe once or twice a day. They are very expensive but for me it was worth it to find something that finally works!

Experiencia fantástica: Really friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Knox was both informative and reassuring. Also a huge plus that there was barely any wait to be seen by the staff as well as easy parking/spacious waiting area to keep my reactive dog away from other visitors.

Experiencia fantástica: Great service. I was seen quickly and the admitting vet provided all options and possible outcomes. Neurologist was very compassionate when delivering terrible news.

Experiencia fantástica: I just wanted to take a moment and Thank MedVet for the exceptional care they provide. Shout out to Dr Niman in neurology you been taking care of Lucky since 2016,we will always be grateful for your knowledge, compassion and dedication to your patience.

Experiencia positiva: Our 3 yr old Frenchie suddenly lost mobility in his rear legs and his ability to hold his urine and poop. We took him to MedVet because MedVet so happens to be the only level 1 Veterinary Trauma Center in Chicago and its super nice they are open 365days/24hrs, no appt needed. Upon walking in, we were greeted immediately. The facility was massive and clean. Just wish the parking lot was bigger. It can get crowded. Luckily there is free street parking available. The ER exam was about $200. After the exam, we were told he would need an MRI/Surgery. Now for the difficult part. We had to pay 10k upfront to book the appt for our dog's specific case and the remaining balance paid upon pickup of your pet. Unfortunately, MedVet does NOT do payment plans. But they do offer CareCredit and will gladly take however many credit cards you got to make that down payment. Luckily we have pet insurance, BUT, claims can only be paid from the pet insurance after you, the owner, pay the medical bills, in full, for your dog. So make sure you get your itemized receipts from MedVet and all doctors notes. After all that was handled, we were told our dog will be staying in the hospital. He was there for 4 days. There are very specific visiting hours. Dr Blumberg was friendly and thankfully, super thorough. The neurologist, Dr Niman, is truly a master of his craft. His expertise and precision are unmatched, especially when working on the "glass spines" of frenchies. Both doctors were phenomenal. You can tell it isn't just a job to them - it is their passion. Everyone at MedVet treated my dog with such care and gentleness, and thanks to Dr. Niman, my furbaby has regained full function of his pee/poop and his 2 back legs. Its been a month since his surgery and he is walking like he never had surgery. My husband and I will forever be grateful to the team over at MedVet. Regarding the rehab dept, when we picked up our dog 2 days after surgery, a gentleman from the rehab team took the time to personally demonstrate all of the post-op exercises using our dog as the model. He also provided us with a printed packet detailing the exercises for weeks 1-2, which we really appreciated. At our 2 week follow up rehab appt w/ Dr Gundersen, she was friendly and she did let us know that our dog was doing great after his re-exam. She mentioned that the new exercises for weeks 2-4 would be emailed to us. However, the exercises were not demonstrated during the visit and I had to request a printed copy before leaving. I was a little disappointed, as the hands-on guidance we received initially was very helpful and reassuring. Regardless... After the entire experience, we would not trust anyone else with our dog's "emergency" care - they have earned our loyalty for life.

Experiencia fantástica: We ended up at MedVet when our 4 year old ShihTzu broke his front leg. The staff was amazing. They got us into triage to give him pain meds immediately. Because it wasn’t a life threatening injury, we had to wait after that but they kept checking on us to see how he was & gave him more pain meds when he needed it. Dr Billy met with us to discuss treatment after doing x-rays. He casted his leg & scheduled surgery for us - it had to be 2 days later as it was a Friday. Dr Cryer performed his surgery and kept in touch with us before and after to give us updates. Again the staff was amazing! They kept us up to date on his progress and assured us that he was doing well. We were sent home with PT exercises and medication and lots of info on what to expect and how to manage his recovery. I can’t thank Drs Billy and Cryer and MedVet techs Kay, Jaz and PT tech Madelyn for everything they did for Hank. We were a mess when we brought him and they helped us almost as much as Hank. I would recommend MedVet whole heartedly! Just understand that it is an ER (like a human hospital only not as large a staff) so if your pet doesn’t have a life threatening condition (seizure, heart attack, etc) expect to wait a few to several hours. But don’t think they’ve forgotten you - just ask & they’ll get your furry loved one (or you) whatever is needed - with calm, caring understanding. They all love pets too!

Experiencia fantástica: They saved my dogs life. Thank you so much doctors nurses and staff

Experiencia negativa: Really dumb to require payment in advance for a specialist appointment scheduled 6 weeks later and then send me an automated text to leave a review of how pleased I was for your care of my pet that you haven’t yet seen. Although I do anticipate quality care when it actually happens.

Experiencia negativa: Went last night because my dog had a lump in her neck, popped up quickly, was at Med Vet in ten minutes. Front end staff was kind of apathetic waited 35 minutes before we saw the triage nurse Stephanie and she was absolutely awesome then another 35 minutes for Dr young. Dr young was nice But spent probably five minutes with our dog came back saying it might be an abscess talking about 600 to check her out then said like we will do a CT scan and surgery looking at 10 - 13000. Luckily my wife has been in this position said we can wait for our normal vet at 9 AM. Came to our vet in the morning the doctor came in and in 5 minutes poked the abscess (which the MedVet team could have done) and got a treatment plan. All the medicine X-rays surgery (that medvet wanted 13000) for 1039. Yah their model sucks.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great visit with the eye specialist Dr. Smith and Tara at MedVet. They spent lots of time with me and my dog who has SARDs, explaining the diagnosis and all the options very clearly and with empathy and compassion. They made difficult news easier to hear. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: My dog was seen by Dr. Smith in ophthalmology. Dr. Smith was detailed and clear about next steps for monitoring my dog’s eyes.

Experiencia fantástica: I felt like my puppy was in the best care for emergency care than some human emergency care they communicated with me about what she ate and told me what symptoms are. I was scared before we got there when we left i was much better I thought I was going too loose my 6 month old puppy who was abused twice before she was 3 months old.. thank You doctor and your employees

Experiencia fantástica: TL;DR caring, patient staff, comfortable waiting area, came in way under estimate in THIS situation. Cat ate a plastic ribbon, had to go to an emergency clinic and follow up with MedVet for stomach sugery. Their estimate was slightly more affordable than comparable pet hospitals and they were able to see me same day (would have seen me the night before, chose not to). They were very fast and efficient as ER visits go, but my cat was also marked level 2 of 3 importance. They take the pets back to do vitals and tests, and in my case I was separated from my cat until I was leaving. He was kept in back and staff came to the waiting room for intake and brought me to exam rooms to talk about more private specifics. The staff were very helpful and understanding and patient. After agreeing to the surgery I was given time in back to say goodbye as they over nighted him for surgery. I was kept up to date with phone calls as shifts changed and new doctors took over and the surgeon started work. I got a call first thing to let me know my cat had done great and that he would be ready after an observation period. At pick up everything was quick, but staff took time through email and face to face explanation to make sure I understood all after care and had a game plan. They gave us everything we needed, including a disposable carrier since I forgot mine, and have been great at checking and being available for all my concerns in the two weeks since. No one wants to have to go to an animal ER, but MedVet does a great job making you comfortable, and has staff that truly care while maintaining professionalism.

Experiencia fantástica: Med Vet provided exceptional care to my dog who needed emergency life saving surgery - they saved his life and explained everything very clearly. They even had someone in the waiting room who checked on our well being during the surgery as it was clear we were very worried. The surgeon and staff were incredibly caring and kept us up to date throughout the post op period. Yes MedVet is expensive but the care you receive is incredible and we are forever grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: From the minute I arrived I felt welcome and in good hands. The Vet tech was amazingly warm and friendly. The Cardiologist , Dr Anna Reuter, thoroughly explained everything. When I was home I completely knew how to help my pup. MedVet Chicago has been my go to emergency and specialty office for over 10 years.

Experiencia fantástica: Brought my dog here for a cardiology consult after our vet discovered a heart murmur. Excellent experience with both Anna and Dr. Pelzek. It was easy to schedule an appointment and I got in quickly, the process was very organized, and they took plenty of time with us and explained things in a way I could understand. They provided the quote for the consult in advance, and the pricing was clear and spot on. I feel like we are in great hands!

Experiencia fantástica: whole staff was very attentive despite being the end of the day on a friday. made my options clear & collaborated with me. very thankful that my little guy is feeling better!

Experiencia fantástica: On time for finnley's heart exam. I thought they were very thorough and on point with giving me the results of the tests-Everything is in Laymans terms when it's important to completely understand your dogs hearts function. First time in this building and it is set up very nicely, especially for dogs who can be a little reactive to their environment. I will travel Three hours round-trip for this great specialty hospital.

Experiencia fantástica: We were grateful for the candid and compassionate consultation that Dr. Faletti provided, after she examined our cat. We left with a clear understanding of his condition and the confidence to be decisive about treatment. When the outlook is very bad, it’s important to have clarity.

Experiencia positiva: Super costly and when we brought our cat home (who wasn’t sick, just ate something she should not have), my other 2 cats got sick with a GI bug that our other vet said we most likely brought home from this place. So they clearly aren’t too clean behind scenes. Took a non sick cat in, the problem wasn’t fixed, super high bill, brought home a sickness that turned into more of a nightmare than our initial visit to MedVet.

Experiencia fantástica: I brought my 60 pound dog in when she got into some canine aspirin and then in the middle of the night started puking and whining. Since her stomach was already empty, there wasn’t much they could do to detox her. They could only prescribe prophylactic medication and And have her return two more times to check her blood work for indication of any damage to her kidney liver or stomach. Fortunately, everything worked out well. The staff was courteous and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: My pride and joy 12 year old cat had been having recent medical issues and took a downhill turn over 48 hours. I had original made the decision to put her down the following day, but when I saw how much pain she was in that night I rushed her to their clinic. She was quickly diagnosed with DKA diabetic Ketoacidosis. Which was a shock considering she had seen other vets and was never diagnosed . The staff, nurses and doctors were so kind and understanding and ensured me that I was making the right decision. The wrapped he in a nice warm towel and wheeled her in on a cart to a quiet room for me to say my good byes . After it was done the nurse , placed her in the box , drew a heart with her name on it and walked out to my car with her. They made a difficult expiernce much easier. It was just the little things like taking care of the billing in the quiet room, so I didn’t have to do it at the reception desk after the deed was done. It was tough but the understanding and compassion made it much easier on me. Than you soooooo much and little #3 thanks you too

Experiencia negativa: My dog has received care from oncology, neurology, rehab, critical care, and surgery. Aside from Oncology, The staff and experience in the other departments is nothing short of wonderful, and the staff & doctors are fantastic - nothing short of 5 star. Aside from Oncology,MedVet provides excellent specialty care. MedVet oncology… it’s the complete opposite The “bed side manner” of the oncology technicians I have interacted with has been extremely poor, and the treatment we have received reflects the fact that MedVet maintains an effective monopoly on veterinary cancer treatment in Chicago. There is a consistent pattern which reflects poorly on their willingness to take proper care of my dog. Most recently.. At my senior dog’s most recent CT scan, drop off was at 8am, and he was not taken in for anesthesia till around 3:30pm. He was discharged within 1.5 hours or so. Typically, my dog walks out of anesthesia after staff have monitored him. This time, he was plopped on to my car while still barely conscious. I recognize that vet care is a very tough profession, and I have gratitude for those that do an excellent job in tough circumstances. The rest of MEDVET does do an excellent job.

Experiencia fantástica: I unfortunately had to put my baby down today. As soon as you walk in you can tell they care. From the beginning to the end of the process I felt the kindness of the staff. They made it easy to go through this and more comfortable by providing a private room for us to say goodbye to our baby. Even while explaining the process and giving us time to say goodbye they were very understanding and showed us compassion. They gave us all the time we needed and ensured me my baby frodo would be in a better place. It was not easy to do but they also showed my baby some love before she passed and that's the type of empathy that I love when I go to vets. It meant a lot to me that through all this my baby was given all the love from me and the friendly staff here. Thank you for making a already hard task a little easier for me through the process.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an excellent experience as first time patients. Dr. Salerno was compassionate, personable and knowledgeable. We were impressed with the care we received and our dog was feeling better by the next day. The whole staff made us feel like our family was in good care. Although you never want to need an emergency vet, we are grateful to have a ER vet we trust near by.

Experiencia negativa: Just a note for your staff, your letter explaining you could save my cat if I had more money would be more effective if you didn't repeatedly get his sex wrong in that letter after charging $250 to examine him. Don't worry, we did still have to put him down but at the very least we were able to do so somewhere that actually looked at him rather than just at our wallets.

Experiencia fantástica: My cat needed a very delicate surgery and I asked my vet, what's the best place I can take him? She recommended MedVet Chicago. I am so thankful to the team here. The facility and staff are outstanding. Truly "human ER" level of care. The surgeon did a consultation with me prior to the operation. The clinicians, surgeon, and other doctors made multiple calls updating me with his status during his stay. Plus they also followed up post-op after he was home. He was monitored 24/7 in house for several days after completing the surgery. I could not recommend them more. I drove from NWI and would tell anyone to do the same if the care your guy needs is beyond the scope of your local vet. It's truly being at a hospital dedicated for animals. I am impressed by the whole setup and so thankful to for places like this existing. Your pet is in stellar hands here!

Experiencia fantástica: Fast and engaging service. Really cares for my pet. Makes sure I fully understand my pets issues and options. Update: 2 years later and my fur baby is better and well taken care of. Still personable. Still great care and service. Update: 1 year later and I can't say enough. The staff is attentive and pays attention to detail. My fur baby has been seizure free since 12/23. Dr. Neiman listens to my concerns and makes adjustments. His medication has been reducing over time and I can see the difference in his mobility and personality. Dr. Neiman treatment plan makes me feel confident we're on the right track. I drive over a hour to Medvet and it's worth it.

Experiencia fantástica: Referral for cardiology for older dog with murmur for echocardiogram and consult. Highly professional and efficient. Excellent explanation of findings with treatment plan clearly delineated. Very thorough and professional. Highly recommend.

Experiencia positiva: Great customer service. Dr was exceptional. The only concern I have is the pricing of the meds. I was charged over 400.00 for meds that can be purchased, with prescription, on Amazon for just over 40.00. That’s a 100% mark up.

Experiencia fantástica: Words cannot express our gratitude to the entire Medvet Chicago staff and especially Dr. Wyatt. Medvet Chicago was recommended to us by our veterinarian after Bluepearl Northfield left us feeling helpless that our 11.5 year old pup could not be saved. We met with Dr. Wyatt for a surgery consultation and a week later our pup had successful liver tumor removal. Dr. Wyatt was very knowledgeable, kind, patient with all of our questions and has given us more time with our pup. We were extremely apprehensive about the surgery and the staff at Medvet were patient and very responsive to our calls. Our pup is healing wonderfully and is almost 100% back to his pre-tumor self. Medvet is reasonably priced and transparent about pricing. We 100% recommend Medvet and from our experience, it is clear they genuinely care about saving pets.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve taken my Doberman there twice for cardiology and the staff is always extremely nice and friendly! Dr. Luethy is thorough in his explanations and makes sure you understand everything.

Experiencia negativa: My Dog had pain in his face, could not open his mouth, andwas not eating. I was taken in quickly and then the doctor told me that he would need to sedate my dog in order to do a full exam of his mouth and I agreed. I was told it would take an hour or so. I was there nearly 6 hours. I got a different story about the delays each time I insisted on talking to a medical person re: Shiloh's condition and progress 3 different times as the hours passed and what the last person had said had not been done. First of all, I should not have had to insist that someone update me every hour or so throughout the day and into the evening. But the people who did talk with me (never the doctor) could not explain what they had just said when I asked for clarification. Over all the communication was terrible. After 5 hours they told me that they had sedated my dog intravenously but there was no doctor available due to being understaffed and some emergencies. SERIOUSLY! My dog is lying there, unconscious and no one is attending to him? They said his blood work was stable and I could wait another two or more hours or they could give me pain killers and some antibiotics and send him home. It was now 6PM and there was a blizzard. I elected to take him home and told them I needed a new bill since half of what they estimated had not been done. I have dog insurance and they are asking MedVet for more details about the final bill and reasons for treatment. It has been 48 hours and they have not responded to Trupanion. I am sorry to have to write this because in the past MedVet has been my rock through 3 other dogs but this was some of the worst service I have ever had anywhere in my lifetime of owning dogs.

Experiencia fantástica: I had to bring my dog in for emergency care when he had a vomiting/seizure-like episode. The staff was extremely patient and kind and very understanding of how I felt as a pet-mom in a scary situation. My pup stayed overnight and I got to see where he’d be staying before I had to leave him. There were plenty of people around, leaving me assured that my baby would be under great care and surveillance during his stay, and the doctors kept me updated with multiple calls throughout his visit. I do not have any prior experience with taking my pet to an emergency vet before this, so I cannot gauge the price I paid vs. any other emergency pet hospital, but given the circumstances, it was right around the price I imagined I would have to pay. (The staff was upfront with a quoted price based on the recommended care before administering any tests.)

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend! My dog ate rat poison and MedVet treated her quickly and with great care. Everything was clearly explained to us and the staff made us feel very comfortable despite the stressful situation.

Experiencia fantástica: I needed a cardiology consult for my dog and was able to get an appointment within a week.

Experiencia fantástica: Good experience for emergency pet care. Staff was knowledgeable, service was timely and price was what I expected for a 24/7 ER visit. Nurse Stephanie was so patient with our grumpy cat and he tolerated her better than most.

Experiencia positiva: Treatment was extremely expensive. Doctor was thorough but never got back to me. With test results when I was waiting So impatiently and nervous, I called after, not hearing from them For 2 days. And they said the doctor wasn't there. And I would have to call back on Monday So I literally had to wait 5 days for test results, when I was a nervous rack. When the doctor had told me the test results would be back the next day.

Experiencia fantástica: Took my 6 month old kitten here after waking up one morning and seeing a pin sticking out of her leg from a previous surgery, a very scary image. Rushed her to MedVet. They took her back almost immediately, made sure her vitals were good, they contacted the vet that did the surgery to get records, were honest about pricing and made sure to let me know before continuing with care. I was able to ask all the questions I needed. Everyone was very patient, kind and caring from the front desk to the triage nurse to the vet that saw her. They also take Care Credit which is big for me since vet bills can be expensive. Hopefully I won’t need to be back anytime soon but if I need to this is the emergency vet I would go to!

Experiencia negativa: I took my dog Fendi in to see the Neuro team had a great visit, but my dog is still not cured. We made an appointment to see the Optometrist on Friday. Checkout was great no issues. Friday, we had a great visit with the Optometrist, but again my dog is still having Episodes (unknown). Checkout was horrible! Ashley CSR and Michelle CSS were very RUDE! The amount of money it cost to bring your pet to MedVet, this should never be experienced from their staff. I wish I had another facility to take Fendi to treat her illness. I never want them ladies to talk to me ever! Please beware of the two Grinch Michelle & Ashley!

Experiencia fantástica: Good people good facilities and processes. We needed TPLO on our Golden and got two opinions since it was an important endeavor. We went with medvet because of their overnight hospitalization monitoring, on-site PT before discharge, and included follow up visits (minus x-rays which is fine). The other place didn't include sling and such, plus follow-up visits and we were worried if there were complications we'd have to transfer her. In the end I think the price would have been the same. Peace of mind is worth the money.

Experiencia fantástica: We've visited MedVet multiple times with a variety of issues for our dog and they have been outstanding. They are able to see us quickly, clearly outline our options and pricing and take amazing care of our dog. Our dog is also reactive and they've been more than accommodating to ensure she has a good experience. Can't recommend enough!

Experiencia fantástica: A very caring Medical Pet Hospital that keeps you informed about your pet’s health. The options if needed are explained and easy to understand. They offer the best health results for your pet.

Experiencia fantástica: The vets, techs and staff at MedVet are so kind and professional. And they work hard to get everyone seen as quickly as possible. My lab ate a grape late on a Saturday night, and they had him vomit it up right quick. Don’t drop grapes if you have dogs, folks! They are bad news.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff and nurses were super kind and caring. They were great about updating me on my pup during her time there. Highly recommend Medvet for any medical emergency your pet may be experiencing!

Experiencia fantástica: Cannot say enough nice things about our experience at MedVet!! We came in on New Year’s Eve with a coughing Chihuahua. We were getting ready to fly out the next morning for vacation and were worried that something was wrong. We ended up not having to even wait very long and they were able to ultrasound him very quickly and give him a clear bill of health so we felt comfortable leaving him with his uncle so we could go on vacation. They didn’t try to oversell us on anything. They said we could wait for x-rays, but they felt comfortable with us seeing our normal that when we got back, which is exactly what we did. Thank you to everyone at MedVet!! We have told everyone we can about what a great experience this was. The entire staff just knocked it out of the park!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at Companion is incredibly helpful, informative, and patient. They are helping us get our cat back to feeling 100% and have been very attentive and flexible!

Experiencia fantástica: We received excellent service for our wonderful cat Tabby. A very sad condition was made as good as possible by your wonderful Dr. and staff. Thank you.

Experiencia negativa: We received unclear instructions with respect to follow-up treatment, diet instructions following the appointment. We were charged for a fecal exam, where we should receive results within 48 hours, and we’re essentially told that the team lost the fecal sample and could not give us conclusive results. We called various times to follow up about the results of the exam and received rude, dismissive answers before being told they lost the sample. Do NOT send your pet there. What makes it worse, is that there are people whose pets’ conditions were more acute who are entrusting this unprofessional team with the wellbeing of their pets.

Experiencia negativa: How do you not have a receptionist to check people into the cancer center?!? I am paying THOUSANDS of dollars to sit in the lobby and wait for someone to come out and check and see who’s here every 30 minutes. This place is printing money. Hire a receptionist. The girl told me word for word “the app doesn’t notify us when you guys get here” Love this place and everything they’ve done for my dogs, but this is flat out absurd. People are standing at the desk pissed off

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience, Dr. Leuthy explained everything clearly concerning our cat's diagnosis and treatment plan. Facility was pleasant and staff members were professional and courteous.

Experiencia fantástica: We’ve been to medvet many times, we have 3 dogs. We’ve had overall had good experiences but this last time Dr Blumberg took care of our dog Oliver and he was truly the nicest vet, really took time to genuinely listen and understand what’s going on even in an ER setting. Very transparent with pricing as well. He made a hard visit much more bearable!

Experiencia fantástica: I have immense gratitude for the care and expertise of MedVet. They have helped me with several pets, always providing the highest level of care. They clearly communicate everything you need to know, including treatment plans, cost, and the best way to ensure the health of our pets. They also have outstanding specialists for specific issues, and they really support wonderful care of all their clients at every step of the way.

Experiencia fantástica: MedVet Chicago took such incredible care of my pet and my family during an emergency visit. All options were presented kindly and compassionately. Their care for my pet was unmatched and their kindness to me in a difficult time was so greatly appreciated. Thank you to the entire MedVet team, from the doctors and vet techs to the front desk team.

Experiencia negativa: We brought our pup here a couple days ago and he was found in his room panting and throwing up everywhere and he couldn’t walk and we brought him here for emergency check out and they told us within 20-30 minutes he was paralyzed and the mri is 7,000/8,000 dollars and the surgery was another 6 or 7 thousands more and she told us our only option if we can’t pay is euthanasia because even if we did the mri and surgery he might not recover and we were torn by this because we only brought him in to be fixed all up and take him back home and because this was all so abrupt and fast we were in even more shock and they told us to take our time to make a decision and so we tried to but about 1-3 times someone walked in within 15 minutes asking if we had made a decision yet that’s not something you can make that quickly and in the end we ended up choosing to put him down from the way they explained to us that he would always be in pain there was no way of therapy or putting him in a wheelchair and we found that off because for one the price was insane and two we know personally some animals who’ve been through worse and lived a good happy healthy painless life with medication and therapy but we accepted it who wouldn’t it’s the vets orders it’s her opinion why wouldn’t we believe her and then after everything we called a couple places did research the normal price for a mri for a dog his size was 3,000 she overquoted us an insane amount of 14,000 for the surgery and mri which again we did think was weird but we’re in shock so had no idea to think of that and then we found multiple of our dogs breed who have had the same thing happened to them and with therapy they live happy carefree painless lives with a caretaker which we would’ve gladly done if we were told this I’m deeply disappointed in finding all this out because now we feel we gave up on him too early because somebody else didn’t know what the prices actually were and if they are they’re this way overpriced so truly my family is torn and broken we had a make a decision someone told us was the only way just to find out it wasn’t if you want to get a better chance of your animal getting better evaluated please think of where you go first because we thought this place would be his savior and in the end they weren’t because of Inaccurate information i admit they’re were a couple of vet techs their that were as sweet as possible but knowing the vet’s decision most likely knowing he could’ve survived and lived a happy life being disabled but didn’t believe it was possible when it’s more then possible and we had to find out AFTER he was already gone so med vet thanks for nothing.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an extremely scary night first night home with our new cat Lucy and without MedVet, it would have been a nightmare. Even though her problem was minor compared to some other pets in the waiting room (one of her eyes was swollen shut and causing her a lot of pain), Nick - the triage nurse we talked to - was an absolute saint. So caring and patient and reassuring. He even sent us home with a cone and some eye lubricant for free, no exam fee required. Sometimes all you need as a new pet owner is someone who really knows their stuff being available and kind and that’s exactly the experience we had. Oh, and it was New Years Eve on top of all that!

Experiencia fantástica: Got right in and they were so caring and nice. Treated my dog quickly and assured we were comfortable. I do hope I never have to go back.

Experiencia fantástica: When visiting Chicago my Schnauzer became I'll. As I had no knowledge of vets in the area I opted to take the dog to MedVet. They were efficient, polite and caring and ensured I left with a thorough understanding of the problem and medicine to handle the problem. I would use them again.

Experiencia positiva: I brought my cat to MedVet Emergency Care because she was very sick and not eating. The staff recommended X-rays, blood work, and a urine test. I agreed to everything, and thankfully all the results came back clean. I am genuinely grateful for that, and I do trust the medical side of the care, even though the test reports were not shown to me. However, what happened afterward was extremely upsetting and disappointing. When my cat was brought out, there was a strong, awful smell coming from her crate. When I got home, I discovered that my cat was completely covered in her own feces and diarrhea—her body, fur, and crate were soaked, as if she had bathed in it. My entire apartment smelled of feces. I understand emergencies happen, and I had no issue paying the $1,300 bill if it meant helping my cat. But basic cleanliness and compassion should be part of care. At the very least, my cat should have been cleaned before being handed back to me. This experience left me feeling sad and heartbroken. I expected better professionalism and dignity for my pet, especially at an emergency facility.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing service, caring doctors and staff. Every single person we came across was amazing. Our dog needed life saving surgery after another dog attacked him. Dr. Knox was wonderful at admission, Dr. Wyatt was an amazing surgeon, Dr. Pearson and Dr. Delgado were loving and caring critical care doctors. The ICU staff (Margaret, Autumn amd Molly) were taking care of our dog as if he were their own. We strongly recommend this place for any of your pets needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent vets and excellent care for the animals in the part of all the staff. Have no qualms about leaving your pet there…..they will care for him/her as though he/she were theirs…..really! Lots of places say that but here it’s real.

Experiencia fantástica: Most amazing emergency vets and staff. They essentially saved our girl Charlie’s life this weekend. Will always be so grateful for Dr. Cohen especially, she was simply amazing and we could not have asked for a better person to get us and Charlie through a terrible weekend. THANK YOU!!

Experiencia fantástica: Referred by our vet to MedVet for sensitive surgery. Staff was friendly and professional. Explained everything clearly. Took their time with us. We’ve been here before and highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: My dog was taken care of perfectly. Many tests were performed to figure out the problems that were showing. Of all the tests performed they figured it all out. Now is on a sorted out path to live a normal life. Will need a life long medication. Was given a coupon to reduce the costs and the pharmacy that had it the cheapest. Saved a ton of money. Will definitely remember this experience.

Experiencia negativa: I brought my cat in on a Saturday night after some behavioral changes and vomiting. They explained he had an "upset tummy," did x-rays, and focused on foreign material in his stomach they believed they saw in an x-ray. (Other doctors looking at the same x-ray didn't see anything problematic.) When I brought him back Sunday morning for follow-up x-rays, they hadn't identified an acute condition, but suggested keeping him overnight and doing an ultrasound Monday morning for an estimated $4000 (in addition to the $1500 I had already paid so far). That's more than I could afford, the vet became defensive when I said I wanted to check with my own vet, and ridiculed me for worrying that the overnight stay could be stressful for him. She also said if I took him home and he started eating without vomiting, he was fine and I should cancel my appointment with my regular vet. He did start eating without vomiting, and I mistakenly believed their advice that that meant he was going to be ok. They didn't give him fluids either time, despite noting that he was dehydrated. Ten days, 2 vet visits, and an ultrasound later (for $700), it's not clear he's going to survive acute kidney failure. The combination of their focus on the phantom "foreign material" in his stomach, their exorbitant prices, and their bad advice about what to watch for at home delayed his getting a proper diagnosis, and may cost his life. You should know that other ERs have much better vets at half the price. Perhaps more disturbingly, a vet who cared would have told me where I could go to get care I could afford; MedVet's vets didn't.

Experiencia fantástica: First time at Medvet and everything went well! Staff was very polite and medical team was very thorough and took the time to explain everything and even gave some recommendations on discharge papers. Highly recommend. My dog was here for an MRI

Experiencia fantástica: The stuff at MedVet was very professional and attentive to my cat’s need. They took care of us right away. Of course, they were expensive, but which emergency visit is not, and I actually paid less than what I was expecting.

Experiencia fantástica: Our Cavalier King Charles dog has been going to Medvet Neurology since we first had them diagnose her disease, Syringomyelia with Chiari Malformations. Our first neurologist was great but then retired several years ago. Since then, we are seeing Dr. Gonzalez, who is an exceptional doctor as well as being kind and gentle. The neurology staff has been wonderful as well. I heartily recommend their services if your pet needs to see a neurologist. This is never an easy thing to do, but Medvet Neurology will provide great treatment and ease your fears.

Experiencia fantástica: We had an emergency visit and follow-up cardio appointment — all the staff were incredibly kind, empathetic, detail-oriented and thorough in their care. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Our otherwise young and healthy dog suddenly went into shock and started having seizures. It was terrifying. We drove him to MedVet and they literally ran out to get him and take him to the ER, and within a few minutes they had him stabilized. Within a few hours they diagnosed Addison’s Disease. Within two days we had him home again, still a pretty sick dog, because you don’t bounce right back from this, but on the mend. Totally kind, great communication, and they saved his life. Take your pet there if you have an emergency. They are the best. In terms of cost, I think they are expensive, but not overpriced. I don’t think there are a lot of budget pet emergency services.

Experiencia fantástica: They saved my cats life. When she came in she way dying from acute heart failure but they admitted her quickly and brought her back from the brink. They were extremely communicative the whole time and always available to answer my questions.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Came here after seeing another oncologist for years (at Blue Pearl) that was honestly, consistently pretty traumatizing and they let my dog’s health fall into the gutters. The staff at MedVet immediately recognized the dire state my dog was in and could not have been more compassionate with the care, explanations, and options they provided. Unfortunately we came here too late - his cancer advanced too much and he’s now on end of life care - but I’m so happy we’re doing that here. They understand the struggles, broken hearts, and hard decisions that have to be made and meet it with compassion and care. They have their pledge up on the wall and I have found these words to be true with every interaction with MedVet. A big thank you to MedVet for your commitment to your values and for the investment you’ve clearly made to ensure your staff embody them, it makes a world of difference. I’m paying the same out of pocket that I was at the other place, but the care and experience - the efficiency and cleanliness of the office - night and day.

Experiencia fantástica: It's been a rough day for my family as we had to bring our beloved dog Sammy here this morning to be euthanized. Though all the staff were very kind and caring, I'd like to specifically thank Dr. Teslenko and Tekiyah (sp?) for their compassionate and gentle care during this difficult time. It's hard to go through but it helps a lot when those providing the care have the utmost respect and kind spirits for the pets and people involved. Thank you so much.

Experiencia positiva: Have had mixed experiences with different animals in emergency over the years so 1 star removed. FIVE STARS for Dr. Niman (Neurology) and his staff who have been treating my now old guy for years and keeping him with us. They have gone beyond what is expected including tracking down lower cost pharmacies to Dr Niman catching (and treating) health issues not related to the specialty. Can't say enough good things about the guy - he's our hero.

Experiencia fantástica: An ER vet is never an enjoyable experience given the circumstances yet MedVet Chicago is a fantastic local option for emergency needs. The waiting area is large if your pet is more reactive to others, the staff is helpful and kind.

Experiencia fantástica: MedVet Chicago has been instrumental in treating our fur baby, specifically their Cancer Center. Everyone we interact with is incredible and compassionate, and at a time when you really need it. Could not recommend them more.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Grabar was the kindest most caring vet I have worked with in years. Even though it was time for my 14 year old Hana to cross over, Dr.Grabar gave me confidence and compassion in making the right decision for my furbaby. Thank You.

Experiencia fantástica: Cardiologist, Dr. Luethy and staff are amazing. I have been going to this clinic for several years, even though I live in the south suburbs. Top notch care for my dog, Madison. 12/25 Now Dr. Luethy did it again, with my 4 month old puppy who had multiple issues with her heart. He acted quickly and now she will be a normal dog. He is an excellent, compassionate cardiologist.

Experiencia fantástica: I fully trust the veterinarians and staff at MedVet Chicago. They are brilliant, compassionate and I have never felt I was steered wrong regarding their care. Their parking is very accessible and I like their check in routine. I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I have trusted MedVet when my pets have become seriously ill. They have always been compassionate, professional, extremely competent, and transparent about the cost of care. They provided loving care and gave me very clear instructions on how I care for my recuperating pet at home. I highly recommend MedVet.

Experiencia fantástica: The neurology team has always been great and attentive to my boy Percy! He's always excited to go in when we roll up for his biannual checkup. As you can imagine neurology work can be expensive but I've always been given an estimate of costs before work is done which is good.

Experiencia fantástica: Came in at 1:30am after our dog had his first ever seizures. The staff, doctors, nurses were all very sweet and attentive. We were there for 3 hours, but they always checked in with us every 20 mins and just made us feel very comfortable in such an uncomfortable/scary situation. Very impressed by everyone on the team. Thank you!

Experiencia negativa: The reception at MedVet was non existent. When you are bring a sick dog into their facility, expect a friendly greeting. The tech/assistant , Kenny, who brought me into the room was unfriendly, not caring/empathy. Just walked around with his iPad talking money!!! I was very put off, expect more out of MedVet. The doctor at least was a bit attentive giving me the bad news.

Experiencia fantástica: Sadly I’ve bought all of my pets here because of the special services that they offer. But it has been a GREAT comfort knowing that the answers you get a solid because of the special skill and technology that you can’t get from your vet. So for PEACE of MIND. I don’t mind when it’s recommended to go here and sometimes pay for what you get.

Experiencia negativa: On 11/14 I brought my dog, to Medvet ER in hope of seeing a neurologist and get further imaging. Our dog was a previous neurological patient of MedVet. The previous day Jackson had experienced a sudden and disabling pain in his hind quarters. After waiting a bit, Jackson was able to see a vet and was examined. When the DVM returned from the examination, it was explained to me that the cause was suspected arthritis. I pushed back on this since it made no sense that there would be such a sudden onset of debilitating pain from arthritis. I asked if further imaging could be done (MRI or CT) and was told a neurologist would not be in a hurry to see him. A few days later our pup became incontinent and we made an appointment with a neurologist at MedVet. We watched our dog deteriorate further so we to drive him2.5 hours to UW Vet ER where they had no problem admitting him to the hospital, do an MRI, and emergency back surgery. Mind you their hospital was AT CAPACITY and a neurologist was called in to do a consult after normal hours. So incredibly disappointed in the way Jackson was dismissed at MedVet.

Experiencia fantástica: My dog Bebe was recently diagnosed with T-zone lymphoma/leukemia. Dr. Mia explains every test result clearly, answers all my questions with patience, and truly takes the time to make sure I understand Bebe’s condition and next steps.

Experiencia fantástica: I can only speak to Medvet’s oncology department, but they are wonderful. Kathy at the front desk is always so welcoming and was a saint when my dog Zoey got sick in the lobby after her last chemo appointment. Dr. Byrum and Kelsey are a fantastic oncology team and did everything they could to make a negative experience positive. I never felt pressured to go a certain route with Zoey’s chemo, and they were very sympathetic and kind when she inevitably stopped responding to her treatment. The space itself is also very large and not over crowded at all, nice and bright lighting which helps when you end up spending a great deal of time at the vet. While Zoey unfortunately succumbed to her lymphoma last week, she lived for 2.5 years after her diagnosis thanks to the oncology team.
