Feliway spray - cat pheromones to help them calm down. I think the wall outlet plugins works best

The vet is very nice and explained things in a way I can understand. It would be nice if they had the waiting area divided to separate dogs and cats/shy timid animals

My poor little baby, love of my life, child not born from my womb, had carcinoma cancer. I brought my my cat Lumpy to Wicker Park Vet Clinic after a few places couldn't figure out what was wrong with him as his blood work kept coming back clean. Both Dr. Oh and Dr. Cohen were fantastic, giving me great advice and keeping things realistic. Dr. Oh was my main vet throughout testing and he was determined to get to the bottom of what was ailing Lumpy. Though it wasn't the prognosis I hoped for, I was thankful to finally have some answers. I realize rates will vary but just to give a bit of information on what I paid... Blood work $165 Cytology to biopsy a lump $125 Fluids range depending on the amount needed but this was $10 for me Exam itself $55 X-Rays $188 I had to put him asleep last night just a week short of him turning 14 and used an at home euthanasia service instead of stressing him out & taking him back to the vet. I'm very thankful for Wicker Park Vet Clinic though and their very compassionate, friendly & well informed staff from the vets to the front desk. I have another cat Teenie who I will continue bringing to Dr. Oh as I was truly more pleased with him than I ever have been with any vet I've visited.

When asked why, it takes us too long to do...literally what the front desk girl told me.

Ugh, it pains me to write this, but WPV is NOT what it used to be. The actual vets are pretty good. We see Singleton most of the time and I feel that she's pretty good. But it's all the ancillary staff that are atrocious! It's been a steady slide in the downward direction over the course of the last 1.5 years. The staff are rude, lazy, and not really there for the customers. Order meds online, they never have them actually ready when they say they are. What's the point of me placing the order ahead of time and you sending me an email to say they ready and when I arrive...I have to wait 7-10 minutes for them to get them ready?! They currently refuse to cut our elderly cats pills in 1/4ths even though they've been doing it for the last 3 years. The pills are not scored and they recommended I buy a pill cutter. When I asked why, the front desk girl told me because it was taking them too long. When you call, they are short and sound angry. Now, not all of them are this way, but I would say, it's the majority, which just makes it unpleasant to have to deal with them. Several examples over the last 2 years and don't want to belabor how awful it's become (trying not to be a Karen). If our cat wasn't 19 years, I'd definitely change vets. I can say, once our elderly queen crosses the rainbow bridge, we will be seeking out a new vet! Unfortunately the service at this vet is definitely not even close to what it used to be.

Around 7 years ago one of my male cats was having trouble urinating, I did a quick search for vets in my area and found WPVC. Dr. Cohen was extremely straightforward, gave optional paths for care, and was very loving to Bo. A few years passed and my older male cat Chase started losing weight and having all the signs for diabetes. Dr. Mullin was assigned to Chase and we are truly blessed to have her. I have seen this doctor literally run to me and grab Chase while he is having a hypoglycemia episode. Dr. Mullin has spent her time researching and contacting specialist just to better assist Chase. Her calming voice, and professional demeanor is above par. She is a superhero. The staff who sit behind the desk are fantastic, they're extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I can be hard to please and I am overprotective of my cats. I can say with my heart of hearts I have had zero issues at Wicker Park Vet Clinic. Chase met the end of the road and we arranged to bring him in to see Doctor Mullin for his final visit. The staff all came in to give us their condolences and tell us how much they will miss Chase visiting. It was a very sad evening, we are so thankful to have this clinic to depend on. Thank for being our vet clinic.

Recently switched to WP Vet clinic to see Dr. Singleton. She did a wonderful job of explaining the possible causes to his illness, upper respiratory cough. We were relieved to learn that it wasn't more serious. Highly recommend Dr. Singleton for her caring, and love of animals. WP billing was reasonable and efficient during an unusual time, COVID. Bonus is free parking!

Amazing staff and couldn't be happier with the overall level of service/professionalism. My two puppies Frenchie and English Bulldog needs lots of attention and care, I would recommend this wonderful clinic to anyone. Thank you for all that YOU do!

I can't say enough good things about this vet. They are super responsive, and show an immense…read moreamount of care for your pets. Dr. Fermoso has been especially excellent in the handling of our senior pup who just recently passed away. We will certainly return to this office if we decide to adopt another pet in the future.

Edit: I appreciate Dr. C responding and confirming her full endorsement of Dr. Fermoso's behavior…read moreand actions, and my experience. It will help me, and others, make more informed vet care decisions in the future. My dog had his annual checkup this morning, and we were assigned Dr. Jennise Fermoso. Dr. Fermoso entered the exam room and asked me how I was doing. When I asked her back, she sighed, stated it's been a rough week, and shared that her kid has been sick and subsequently got her sick. I asked her if she was currently actively sick, and she responded, "Yeah, but it's just a little cold." Her demeanor was lighthearted, and she chuckled at points while sharing this information. Surprised, I asked her if she had a higher quality mask she could wear, as she was wearing a loose surgical mask and we were in a small, enclosed space. She eventually, briefly, wore an N95 when circling back. Thinking of other clients and patients who would unknowingly come into contact with her while she is very likely still contagious, I recommended that she continue wearing the higher quality mask. She responded with, "O.K., thank you." in a flippant and condescending tone on her way out of the exam room. I touched base with the front desk staff and asked if it was possible to add a note to my file that my dog never be seen by Dr. Fermoso again. The staff member said yes, absolutely, and apologized, the latter to which I replied that it wasn't the staff member who did anything wrong. The staff member was kind and helpful, updated my dog's file, and wished me a better day ahead. We take our pets to Pets First to be seen by those who take science and patient care seriously. The dissonance of being infected through close contact, acknowledging the hardship it has created, and then heading into work to cavalierly perpetuate the same cycle by potentially infecting others is not behavior patients and clients should be forced to deal with when seeing a medical professional. Dr. Fermoso is not a veterinarian I would recommend to anyone hoping for quality care for their pets, and her actions imply a wider culture of acceptance within the clinic that cause me to question the integrity and trustworthiness of Pets First overall.

Dr. Ojala was his treating veterinarian and, frankly, was as informative AND compassionate as they come. In addition to his grief, Milo had a host of medical issues. This determination necessitated tests and bloodwork, but no exams, labs, or workups that would have been unexpected for an elderly cat who was slowly deteriorating. I was given a number of options and never felt pressured into making any treatment decisions that weren't in the best interest of my cat. Additionally, after Milo's cat scan, Dr. Mistar immediately followed up with my cat's results, when Dr. Ojala was out of town. She sent very detailed emails, clearly written, explaining my cat's diagnoses and his treatment options. She also made herself available to answer any of my questions and to discuss options. I recognized, even at the time, that she did not have to do that. I really appreciated the time she spent communicating with me, recognizing the news she was sharing was grim. I ultimately decided, several weeks later, that it was in my Milo's best interest to let him go. South Loop coordinated my cat's transition. Dr. Ojala was with my son and me, as we said goodbye to our dear Milo. I can't say enough how much I appreciated the South Loop team. About 2 weeks ago, I received a personal, handwritten note from Dr. Ojala sending me her condolences about Milo. It was kind, beautiful, and unexpected. I am saving that card with my cat's keepsakes. If I'm at a point when I can take another cat into my home, his veterinarian care WILL happen at South Loop Animal Hospital.

The place had a fresh scent, was very clean and uncluttered. Customer service was fair and parking is private (no-pay & metered street parking available). They do not offer pet care packages for new or existing clients for any preventative care, and they do not offer upfront quotes for basic services. The receptionist was really helpful but kept providing me low-cost options as if I was insisting the prices were high. I was slightly offended and let her know I live across the street and did not need lower prices. I just wanted to know if they provided quotes for services upfront if I knew what vaccines I needed for my puppy. I am unsure if I was pre-judged or misunderstood so I did not make it past the initial interaction to review the services.

Despite being an inconsistent patient over the years, WLVC re-established us quickly and delivered incredibly attentive, compassionate, research-driven care during her final weeks, with an on-staff insurance specialist handling all the claims paperwork for reimbursement.

I was extremely anxious and worried that whatever she ingested could seriously harm her. From the moment we arrived, the team was more than supportive. They saw her immediately, reassured us, and after scans confirmed she'd be okay, walked us through everything calmly and clearly. The staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared. They even fell in love with her, which helped ease my nerves. What truly set them apart was the post-visit care. During recovery, being able to email back and forth with the doctor including sending photos of anything questionable was a game changer. Responses were quick, thoughtful, and reassuring. We have a regular day-to-day vet, but this is now officially our puppy's ER/Urgent Care.

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.

My refill ran out and they made me schedule an appointment. In the past my vetinarians had no problem giving me a few pills to hold my dog over until her appointment so she didn't wet herself. But this time they didn't do that. So I went to my appointment the very next day (less than 24 hours after my call) which was scheduled for 2:30pm, we got there early. At 2:46pm I asked the receptionist if they knew when someone would see us, they simply said no, without even trying to find out. At 2:53pm the Manager Manny came in to say someone would be with me shortly but it wasn't their fault because I was early, they somehow had me scheduled for 3pm even though I showed them my email confirmation for 2:30pm. I was finally seen after more than 30 minutes of waiting. After I spoke to the vet who did not seem to know my dogs medical records, they thought the scar on her leg was from an ACL surgery (which she never had), it was from cancer. They were over 30 minutes late and couldn't even read her medical records! Then the vet knocked a glass jar on the ground and tried to move us to another exam room before sweeping it up, I actually had to hask them to clean the broken glass on the floor before letting my dog walk through it. Then towards the end of the exam I noticed a sign on the wall obstructed by fake flowers and a dog treat jar that stated exams are recorded with video and AI is used to assist them, and if you want to opt out of the AI you had to let them know prior to your exam, but you can't read the warning until your exam has already started. When I asked for the video to be deleted the veterinarian said I should have said something before, when I pointed out the fact that I didn't know about the warning until the exam had already begun she got upset, raised her voice and said they'd delete it amd ahe stormed out of the exam room and slamed the door. I asked the incredibly rude manager Manny who I could reach out to about my experience, he sais it was a corporate owned facility. Like that was an excuse to be unprofessional and rude. I would never recommend this place! Edit: Village West Vet corporate tried to blame me in their response to my negative review. They were rude, unprofessional, unsafe and uninformed. They told me I couldn't receive my prescription until bloodwork was done. After I left I noticed I didn't have blood work paperwork, yet I had my prescription so I called back. They said it could take up to 48 hours to get the results, yet had no problem sending me home with a controlled substance which cost much more in their office than online through Chewy. If you don't won't to deal with a corporate owned vet with no feelings in the West Town area of Chicago, I recommend Ukrainian Village Veterinary Center, owned by Dr. Danylo Butenko, DVM, CVA, an independent vetinarian.
