I wanted to get a second opinion as my dog Tobi was getting weaker and weaker after his first blood transfusion a month ago. I already consulted our general vet and they mentioned it was due to the medication he was on that was making him this way. I just felt like something wasn't right and wanted to see another doctor just in case. I searched around online for the closest one to see if they would schedule us in on the same day but alot of places were not taking in any new patients. I called right when they opened and I believe I spoke with Dr. Beauchamp and explained what was going on with my boy. I was very grateful that she was able to squeeze me in on the same day. Dr. Beauchamp and their team provided such respect and care to my boy. They took a look at him and told me that he did not look well and was needed to be admitted to the hospital right away. Everything was explained to me very thoroughly and answered all the questions I had. Unfortunately, there was alot of complications going on with him that day and he didn't make it. I am extremely thankful that Dr. Beauchamp followed up with me via phone call to see how he was and did not charge me for our first visit. If we were ever to get another pet, I will be 100% taking them here. read more

After 5 years of operational mishaps and expensive visits at GoodVets West Loop, I'm taking my business away from this DISAPPOINTING corporate-owned chain. I'd prefer not to use my energy on writing this review, but if it helps save others a huge headache or thousands of dollars, it's worth it. The final straw - Spending $256 on the vet's suggested blood work for my pup, which yielded alarming blood cells counts linked to hemolysis. With the doctor's advisement that the results were possibly incorrect, GoodVets required me to pay another $256 to come back in 4 days later if I wanted the blood work redone for accuracy. Note, this second test confirmed the initial blood work results were very incorrect, my pup was fine, and the falsely elevated blood count recorded by their first blood draw sample was actually due to a mishandling during their collection process. GoodVets' Hospital Operations team would not accept any fault and after several attempts to have the matter re reviewed, denied my request for any reimbursement on their mishandled laboratory work. read more

DO NOT GO. We have been going to good vets for 2 years. After Dr.Beauchamp left we really only continued to go because of convenience and it's a huge regret. My dog was neutered 1 week ago. Since then he has had complication after complication. 1st a bad reaction to a prescribed medication causing him to diarrhea blood for days- when we went in to address his diarrhea and dehydration there was an attempt to sell me on a fecal test for Giardia when this was CLEARLY a reaction to the medication. Then the Dr "FORGOT" to give him fluids for dehydration and sold me 3 cans of food to take home to help him. Luckily, I looked into the ingredients of the food further and realized that it contained chicken which he is allergic to. No comment at this appointment on the state of his incision. 2- Luckily because I am a nurse myself I continuously assessed his incision site and noticed that there was a severe hematoma starting to look black. I immediately called the vet to let them know that the tissue was beginning to look necrotic and he was an increased pain. They requested a photo- I sent the photo for an opinion and they NEVER RESPONDED.. 3-We went to the emergency vet they said that the incision looked extremely abnormal and that we should follow up with our vet bc he will likely need a second surgery. 4- We go back to the vet because I followed up 2 DAYS after the picture was sent and Dr asks if I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A QUOTE FOR A LASER to try to bring back life to the dying tissue. Due to my pushback, they did the laser for free. I still walked out paying $85 for more pain medication because it is now required since he's having ongoing pain due to this complication. The doctor then stated that if the tissue does not get better, he will definitely need another surgery which I am sure they are thrilled to charge me for. Not only is this place an extreme money grab, half of the staff is rude and the bedside manner is CRAZY. I brought my dog in because he was clearly in pain and one of the vet techs was grabbing his cheeks, smooshing his face around aggressively saying how cute he is when he's VISIBLY uncomfortable. I'M SO THANKFUL THAT WE DECIDED TO GO WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR HIS NOSE AND PALATE SURGERY BECAUSE I'M CONFIDENT THAT IF WE HAD SEEN A RANDOM SURGEON AT THIS LOCATION , WE WOULD'VE HAD WAY WORSE COMPLICATIONS OR ACCORDING TO OTHER REVIEWS MAY HAVE LOST OUR DOG. Save your money and go somewhere that isn't private equity and actually cares about their patients not just $$$$$! read more

We have been taking our cat Oliver to GoodVets since last September as we noticed a cut on his abdomen. The first two doctors we saw here were helpful in what they thought might help Oliver, but once we saw Dr. B she was very much involved in our case. What we thought was just a cut that was having trouble healing ended up being a somewhat rare form of cancer in cats. Dr. B was a huge help in getting Oliver diagnosed. Did a great job with his biopsy, and although Oliver is extremely feisty at the vet she did not back down & even called in extra back up for when we went to her in Roscoe Village which we very much appreciated! Although Oliver's cancer is not something we continuously go to GoodVets for, she put us in contact with a fantastic Vet Specialty place who was able to give us a good course of action. Thank you Dr. B for keeping on Oliver's case & not giving up on a feisty cat like Ollie! without you his diagnosis may have come much later and we might've had less time with him. read more

GoodVets West Loop - Oliver after his biopsy/sedation trying to get food out of his feeder - Veterinarians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with GoodVets West Loop has been deeply upsetting and disappointing. Before my kitten Prea's spay surgery, they specifically asked us for our consent to remove any retained baby teeth during the procedure, and we said yes. Despite that, they did not remove the tooth -- and never gave us any explanation. Weeks later, one of Prea's baby canines began breaking apart until it became infected. We brought her back to the clinic, where they confirmed the infection and prescribed antibiotics and painkillers. They told us they would speak with the surgeon and follow up the next day with an explanation and a solution. That follow-up never came. I emailed them -- no reply. Days passed. Only after sending a second message threatening legal action did they finally respond. They did cover the cost of the infected tooth consultation, and after the legal threat, they refunded the medications. But by that point, I had already gone to another vet for a second opinion. Prea had to be sedated again for dental X-rays, where we discovered that her adult canine was trapped under her gum -- something that could have been completely avoided if the baby tooth had been removed during the spay, as they themselves asked permission to do. Now, due to their negligence and lack of professionalism, Prea has to undergo a second surgery to extract the retained adult tooth. What angers me most isn't the initial mistake -- I know things can go wrong. What I can't accept is the total lack of communication, empathy, and accountability that followed. No apology. No ownership. No concern for my cat's pain or the stress this caused us. This experience left me feeling angry, disappointed, and betrayed. We trusted them with our kitten's care, and they failed us when it mattered most. I do not recommend this clinic. Their handling of this case revealed a serious lack of compassion and professional integrity. read more

That was just not a good experience. I switched to this location last year and had a decent experience from what I remember. This time it felt like all they were trying to do was to sell me on their TotalCare+ financial package and to get me to come back for some $1,000+ dental program. They only spent a few minutes actually checking out my dog and seemed rushed doing it. They spent more time pushing me for those programs, even telling me all about them as they were doing exam instead of focusing on the exam itself. They even told the front desk that I was interested and she had started to sign me up. It felt like I was dealing with salespeople rather than vets. When I left I had a similar feeling to leaving a used car dealership. The final bill was also almost $200 higher than the "exact" estimate they gave me because apparently it didn't include the bloodwork, which was not clear. Fortunately, this was just an annual check up and vaccine visit, but I'd be worried to take my dog for anything serious. I'll be trying out a different vet next time. read more

They have ignored me for 3 weeks. I just need a refill of my dogs pain medication. Do not go here! Disgusting customer service. They have blamed the whole thing on the fact that the vet I saw is no longer there. I have been begging for 3 weeks. My dog has been experiencing withdrawal symptoms. if you love your pet DO NOT go here. read more

My pet and I were treated with the utmost respect and the level of care provided was transparent. My little boy was showing some swelling on his gums. I called all the vets within my vicinity and GoodVets was able to fit me in the very next day. The staff was friendly, informative and extremely understanding when listening to my concerns. read more

It is with sincere gratefulness that I say I stumbled upon this veterinarian. My dog was extremely ill and our preferred veterinarian was busy. We called 9 vets in the area and most weren't taking new patients or didn't have openings for 4 weeks. Not only did they move things around to accommodate me they provided great service and above average communication. I appreciated them being there for my family especially my dog. If I get another pet, I will definitely take them to this vet. I feel like I can trust them, and that the feedback they provided was honest and accurate. The prices compared to other places in the Loop were excellent. read more

My appointment was at 2:30. It is now 2:55 and I am still waiting in an empty exam room. I have poked my head out twice to ask about the delay but the front desk staff intentionally does not make eye contact with me even though I'm am literally 15 feet right in front of them. This is so weird. read more

We love GoodVets! Everyone is so gentle with Bali, especially on her anxious days. How much everyone loves on our girl, and the extra pets she gets when she's nervous really make taking her to the vet not as bad. I've recommended West Loop to all of our friends when they move into the area and need a new vet. read more

Very bad experience. There is a 10-minute grace period and I showed up 2 minutes after the 10 minutes. They told me that I needed to reschedule when my dog was sick and I already had to wait a few days to get the appointment. Very frustrating because 2 minutes would not make or break the vets day or schedule. Parking and location are also terrible and other reviews also mention the terrible customer service with being just a few minutes late. read more

Really like the drs at GoodVets! The treatment my pets receive is great! I have tried other vets in the area and will continue to bring my dogs to GoodVets! read more

Never on time with appointments. Not once since i started coming here. Overpriced relative to the area read more

Amazing facility & staff! So happy I found this place for my little guy- I can tell he & his health will be in great hands ! read more

We went there because our baby Buddy was suffering at the end of his life. It was Sunday at 1pm, they close at 3 and turned us away because "we don't have the time". Wow, stick that knife and turn it in my heart! He didn't have much time either and now we know that your clinic does not care, you really should change the name to Bad Vet! read more

Such a great care team. Easy to work with, great with my scaredy cat of a dog, very reasonable pricing and not pushy about treatments.

If you're looking for a local vet in the west loop - look no further! We were referred here by a friend in the area when we brought home our new puppy and have received nothing short of fantastic care. Our dog actually enjoys going to the vet because the entire staff is wonderful and she always gets treats :) The location is super convenient, and both the lobby/waiting area and patient rooms are very warm and welcoming. I have complete trust in the doctors and they are always patient with all of our questions. They've done an amazing job making sure she is up to date with all vaccinations/immunizations etc needed, as well as providing stellar treatment when we brought her in for surgery. Highly recommend! read more

The staff is knowledgeable, kind, professional and helpful. I particularly love how fast and efficient service has been

I took my cat to this GoodVets location initially to establish care with a Chicago vet (we'd recently moved to Chicago and we loved our Indiana vet, but it was a bit far away). First visit was fine, we got him his rabies tag, and all seemed well. On the second visit, Dr. Taylor told me quite unexpectedly she felt I should put my cat down due to his issues with constipation. She said he would need an enema every 2 weeks for the rest of his life, that he would be unhappy, and that enemas carried a risk of rupturing the colon (which she implied to be a sure thing). She didn't outright say euthanasia was the only humane option at first, but she forced me to say it by listing his options and then explaining why she felt each one wasn't desirable. I felt she hadn't been thorough with checking his medical history and wanted to pass him off as a sickly senior cat without taking into account his resiliency and overall health. I get it--it's easy to give up on an old cat. I didn't think it was his time, but I was heartbroken at the thought that I was causing him discomfort by forcing him to live. I was shocked to say the least, and took my cat back to the Indiana vet the next day for a second opinion. She agreed that it wasn't his time, and put him on an OTC medication that fixed his issues immediately. She was alarmed when I relayed the information to her that Dr. Taylor gave me. She said she'd been giving enemas for 35 years and never once experienced a colon rupture in a cat. It wasn't as frequent as Dr. Taylor led me to believe. I am writing this review now, three months later, because I got three more wonderful months out of my boy before I had to let him pass recently due to an unrelated issue. For those three months he was happy, healthy, and perfectly comfortable. I wanted so badly to love this vet--front desk was nice, good location, clean facility. If you have a senior cat, I can't in good faith recommend coming here. At the very least I would ask you get a second opinion before taking any action. read more

Being new to the Chicago area, I needed to find a solid vet for my dog. After scouring reviews on pricing and service for vets in the area, I decided to try out GoodVets and I am so glad I did! They are incredibly attentive, treat my dog well, and the prices are fairly moderate for the area. I would highly recommend them (and already have) and will definitely continue to take Knox back for any vet needs he has! read more

Always so quick and very thorough exams. And so kind! Promptness and genuine care for my dog.

My little guy, Trooper, has been to several vets in San Francisco and now Chicago, as I've moved around the country with him. He's got some hard-to-manage chronic conditions that have given us both fits off and on for years. I came to GoodVets with him because our previous vet had no availability for a vaccine he needed soon. I walked out with a new primary vet. My dog walked out with a rabies vaccine, and lots of love from the staff at GoodVets. Our very intelligent vet had a concrete, subsequently validated explanation for Trooper's GI problems -- a priceless gift for a wonderful dog who's been suffering for too long. It's been an involved treatment process for my boy and I, but GoodVets has treated us well. I've never had an issue getting in touch with a vet, or getting anything I've needed. GoodVets isn't your cheapest option, but they provide a standard of care Trooper and I sorely needed. My boy's health is worth it. Naming your practice GoodVets is bold. It sets a higher expectation. For us, GoodVets has delivered on that promise. read more

I did lots of research on great vets for my cat prior to taking him to GoodVets. I'm so happy I made this decision! I initially wanted to get into the streeterville location but West Loop could get me in sooner. The facility was clean, no animal odors, and very well decorated. My cat, Calvin is not particularly fond of the vet, but Dr. Beauchamp was outstanding, as well as the vet techs! Everyone there was so nice and answered all of my questions. I will definitely be back! Thank you! read more

I am very grateful for GoodVets today because they were able to see my baby girl with one-day's notice despite being a new patient after getting the run around at South Loop Animal Hospital who made me wait a week for a sick appointment, then cancelled our appointment while we were already in office, and wanted me to wait another week to come back for the next spot to open up. Thanks to GoodVets, I got my girl the care she needed urgently today and it turns out to be pneumonia or bronchitis which required treatment. Dr. Ahn and my vet technician were so sweet and great with my baby girl. It took an hour and this team got a laundry list of concerns squared away with no unturned stone by the end. Getting this much attention from the vet is unheard of!!!! They took their time, did a great job, and their pricing is better than South Loop Animal Hospital to boot!! Thank you Rebeka!!! Cleo loves you and I'm sleeping easier tonight!! Moving all my vet care here for my 2 cats for sure. Also, they have lime lacroix for humans if their thirsty which happens to be my favorite beverage. A+++ WELL DONE read more

We recently moved to West Loop and used another local vet in the area. Once GoodVets opened, we decided to try since it was closer to home and hours were more convenient. It just so happened to be around the same time we adopted our rescue, Miley. The staff here is incredibly kind. They know you by name and are very personable to you and your pets. The office is very clean and even has an adorable wall to take pictures in front of! The doctors are very attentive and have even followed up with us after hours to check in when Miley had a few issues. Other vets in the area are much more expensive for an exam fee alone and GoodVets gives new clients a free first exam. They did a thorough evaluation on both our dogs every time we brought them in and even fit us in immediately for emergencies. We also use the groomer here too! She's FANTASTIC and speaks to you each time before and after the appointment. The service here is just wonderful and I highly recommend using them for your vet and groomer! read more

We have nothing but praise for GoodVets West Loop. This location features a very professional staff who will talk through treatment plans and provide options when applicable. It's clear that transparency is a goal here, and this is much appreciated as a customer who has not experienced this at previous vets. Not to mention, the facility is top-notch. Further, there is close follow-up and easy communication with the vet. If you are looking for a vet in the West Loop area, this really is the place to go! UPDATE, 3/17/2019 - We recently encountered an unexpected medical issue with our little guy and GoodVets went above and beyond the standard of care that we would expect. Again, the focus on transparency, easy communication, and professionalism shined through. read more

Very happy with response level and level of care as well, you can tell the staff and vet really care! Communication is great! Also gave us a free huge bag of food when we found out our pooch needs to be on a special diet due to kidney disease :( Easy to make an apt too! read more

Have had an unbelievably frustrating experience here. Vet prescribed my dog medications, but refused to give us a paper script. When we tried to fill the script at Chewy, the vet refused to fill it saying she did not trust them to get it to us in time (that is not her call) and would only fill it with them or at Costco. When we opted for costco, we learned at pickup they had only ordered one of the two scripts. I appreciate trying to make more money by steering customers to fill a script with you, but it's completely unethical to refuse to fill a prescribed script at a patients requested location so that you can wring more money out of them. Needless to say, we won't be returning here in the future and recommend you consider avoiding as well unless you like being taken advantage of. read more

My visit at GoodVets with my pup today was so great. After having less than ideal visits at other vets in the city, I was very pleased with the visit today. The techs and vet were so gentle and kind (even with a nail trim which my dog *hates*), and I didn't feel like they were pushing treatments that other vets have. Looking forward to sticking with GoodVets! read more

I would not recommend this Veterinarian group, it has really gone down hill since Dr. Chen, Dr. Renmes , and best from desk person (Anna) all left. And now I see why they left after having to deal with the Vet ownership group and their new hires, it's definitely Since this awesome Doctors and Anna have left, the customer service is failing, they price gouge , try to up sell you on services you don't need, and whoever is answering the phones and hanging up on people , really needs to be retrained read more

Such a friendly staff from the moment I walked in to leaving! They love seeing your pet(s) and taking the best care of them. I was very thankful they made sure my kittens were healthy after being rescues and helping them with medications and vaccines read more

We adopted our pup in the midst of the Covid Pandemic, and GoodVets West Loop saved the day! They handled a difficult situation with grace--staying open to care for pets in need, implementing "curbside drop off" appointments to protect everyone's safety, and still offering kind, courteous and professional service. We were able to have our well puppy visit, ask all of the questions we had, and get our pup his needed vaccines. I'm very thankful for great small businesses like these in today's times! Thanks GoodVets! read more

From the initial phone call to the first visit, Dr. Beauchamp was incredibly nice, helpful and attentive is helping me to navigate my puppy's symptoms. At the visit, Deanna was also great and they both took the time to answer all of my questions and make us both feel comfortable. My puppy left happy and calm and I left with a care plan for his symptoms that I feel confident about. I plan to make all of his appointments here from now! read more

I am a new client to GoodVets and I love this place! It has such a great feel when you walk in the door and the staff is friendly... love the decor! Urban casual, clean and pet friendly. You don't wait long at all for your appointment and the whole process is efficient without feeling rushed. During my appointment, the team is helpful and I don't feel unnecessary tests or procedures are offered or suggested and they are patient with all of my questions. I even had a telehealth appointment as a follow up with Dr. Beauchamp, loved it! read more

Great service and friendly staff. The team was transparent about everything they were doing! The team ensured that our pup was okay and was careful when they handled her. read more
