Dr.Siwek helped our Finley cat when he was 6 years old. His ear hematoma surgery did not take and…read morehis ear filled with fluid again, the day after! The Vet said to bring him back for yet another surgery to fix it! This is a horrific surgery and recovery protocol. Finley had his first hematoma as a kitten, and when this happened again, now with the other ear, we considered putting him down to spare him the pain and misery. I cried thinking of how he suffered during the first recovery protocol. Dr..Siwek sent me home with homeopathic hemorrhoid cream. I was to spread that on his ear, 3 times a day. We saw results after the first day. Within 2-3 days the fluid had been re absorbed by his body, no swelling, no "pillow" in his ear, and we never had another problem with this ever again. Needs to be homeopathic and a cream, not an ointment. Hard to find these days! It will eliminate the need for this awful and expensive surgery for animals Thank You Dr.Siwek! God Bless!

After years of bringing both of my dogs, to Niles Animal Hospital, I can confidently say I will not…read morebe returning. The decline in professionalism, accuracy, and basic respect for clients has been consistent and deeply concerning. Every single visit not occasionally, not once in a while, every time involves excessive wait times, often well over an hour or two, even with a scheduled appointment. This is not an isolated incident; it's a pattern. The most serious issue was the misdiagnosis of my dog the Dr. who clearly lacked proper bedside manner and experience, told me my dog had an enlarged heart and cardiomyopathy and gave her a prognosis of 3-6 months to live. She prescribed multiple medications for a condition that turned out to be completely nonexistent. After spending $2,000 at the cardiologist they referred me to, I learned the diagnosis was wrong. The specialist was shocked. This was not a minor mistake it was emotionally devastating and financially burdensome, and it put my dog on unnecessary medication. When I brought these concerns to the practice manager, her response was dismissive and unprofessional. It took a week just to get a reply, and instead of accountability, I received excuses and downplaying of what happened. She wasn't even in the room when the Dr. gave me that diagnosis, yet tried to minimize the situation. The front desk staff also contributes to the problem. They have been consistently rude, I've been a customer for over 5 years in return I've received long waits, incorrect diagnoses, unnecessary medications, rude staff, and a filthy, unprofessional environment. After reading other reviews, it's clear I'm not alone. Niles Animal Hospital has gone downhill dramatically, and the lack of accountability is astounding. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this clinic to anyone who cares about their pets' well‑being.

I felt i had a relationship with them HOWEVER when I had a question of "possible" concern about a pet im house sitting.... I was told if they had not seen that pet previously....they do not have room for an appointment nor could they even discuss a question about anything to even watch out for. They said you can probably do a walk in at one of the emergency hospitals. Scout or blue pearl. I was shut down completely by the man who answered the phone. He was dismissive and couldnt get me off the phone faster. I totally understand not giving medical advice or info over the phone by a receptionist BUT I thought they would respond differently than if we havent seen that pet, your long term relationship makes absolutely no difference. I was honestly shocked at the conversation and response. Good news is my pet is perfectly fine.... but my relationship with riser has died a traumatic death due to this interaction. I called scout who listened to me, offered options, advice and things to watch out for....and then was from someone who never even was a client. I decided to err on caution and took in for x rays. No issues whatsoever. Just be aware before you establish a relationship here. Finding the right Animal Vet/Hospital is vital. I read thru previous negative reviews and see the trend about employee interactions. And the response by riser was as expected. It does not matter your relationship with them if you have been a client....if you have a new pet. They wont make room.

Anyone who's met my dog knows that he's a little "special". By special I mean he has some quirks…read moreabout him that just don't seem to budge. So, taking him to the vet is an experience that really no one else should see. The minute he smells the inside he knows where he is, heavily drugged or not, and he begins to shake and hide behind me. Now, let me explain now that from the time he was a baby pup he never liked the vet especially when they had to touch his rear end in any fashion. It's well documented in his file that unless it's *completely* necessary they are not to touch him back there. With all this said, Dr. Shechter is the ONLY vet at Cairo that actually looks at the file and tries to accommodate my dog, Lucky. He never makes Lucky get on the cold metal table nor does he attempt to take Lucky away from me during the exam. While most other vets will ask their assistant to go weigh Lucky in the other room, Dr. Shechter has me do it. If you've even seen this feat attempted by someone else is nearly impossible....when I do it- it takes no more than a minute. Dr. Shechter is also the only vet at Cairo that attempts to get all of Lucky's shots in at one time to minimize the times he needs to come to the vet. If it weren't for Dr. Shechter I would probably have to sedate my dog even more just to get him in the building. Some of the other vets just don't understand that dogs are scared and that sometimes the vet needs to accommodate the dog and not vice versa. If your pet goes to Cairo Animal Clinic make sure to schedule your appointments with Dr. Shechter.

Dr. Shechter has taken care of our dog Josie since we adopted her as a puppy and soon discovered she had a number of health issues. Thanks to Dr. Shechter, Josie is now a very healthy six year old canine! I consider Dr. Shechter to be one of the world's greatest veterinarians. Although I don't know her quite as well but from the interactions we've had, Dr. Bannow is truly exceptional also. I would not consider taking Josie to any other practice or vets. Dr. Shechter is an incredibly skilled, thorough and thoughtful animal physician. He genuinely cares about his patients, treats them with gentle kindness and is contentious beyond belief. I highly, highly recommend Drs. Shechter or Bannow and their North Shore Family Pet Hospital.
