Park Animal Hospital

Love this place ! Dr Park and his staff are amazing ! There is an animal hospital walking distance to me , however I will drive across town to see him! When my dogs died in the past they even sent sympathy cards which I appreciated. I trust them with my Sadie! She had heart worms, Lyme disease etc and they referred her and she was helped . I truly appreciate them .

To start: the front desk staff are lovely people and always made our visits a pleasant experience, more than I can say about every other vet I've been to in my . Definitely a strength of this place! They were always so helpful and seemed invested in providing a good standard of care. As for the exam room, big issues. Of course, I'm trying to bear in mind this is primarily a walk-in vet with a high patient volume, but our experience raised some red flags. We brought our cat in for bad diarrhea, for which the doctor requested a stool sample. It was later confirmed that our cat had a parasite and he was given an antiparasitic on the spot. Fast forward 3 weeks, the diarrhea never improved, so we returned to get him checked out. The vet asked about the kitten's diet, which makes sense, but upon us asking if another stool sample was necessary, said he didn't think so, almost seeming confused we asked. We were foolish enough to leave the office with "prescription food" shoved in our face for two consecutive visits. Other concerns we mentioned to the vet in the exam room were consistently met with a dismissive demeanor. A friend who had gone to Dr. Park with their dog in years past reported similar experiences of constantly being rushed out the door, without a doubt influencing the premature passing of their pet due to long-undiagnosed illness. I switched to a different clinic, whose vet was appalled that Park Animal Hospital only requested a single fecal exam. Within a matter of days, the new vet found not one but two species of parasite in my cat's stool. He has since had a full cycle of two rounds of antiparasitic medication and his poops are now absolutely wonderful. The anti-flea solution prescribed by the new veterinarian finished off his persistent flea issue better than the Dawn dish soap trick advocated for by Dr. Park. I wish the care provided reflected the absolutely wonderful experience Park Animal Hospital was at the front desk. It's a huge shame that this vet pushes patients out the door so quickly. Just another clinic mindlessly throwing (or very strongly suggesting, I don't know) Hill's or Royal Canin food at its patients as the go-to cure while completely letting the real issue fly over their head. I really do hope they get their act together soon.

Almost let my dog die because he didn't want to do an X-Ray that WE were paying for!! His laziness and incompetence almost cost my dog his life. If you value your pets health, DO NOT come here! Took my dog to Premiere Veterinary Emergency Hospital on Belmont and he is receiving MUCH better care. Hopefully, they will save him. Update: My dog has cancer, not kennel cough, and now he's going to die. You need to go back to Veterinary school.

Dr. Park was vet to my cats and dogs for many years. Since moving to Naperville in 2007, I changed vets, of course. I wondered if Park Animal Hospital was still in practice and checked online. I read many quite unsatisfactory reviews which made me wonder if it's time for Dr. Park to retire. Perhaps he should give retirement serious consideration.

Staff are great but the doctor is rude and angry when I asked him a question. Every time said do not interrupt me. It is not professionally. If I paid money I want to know something. Do not feel that he likes animals at all! My dog was awfully screaming from this exam. Very terrible doctor's attitude toward the dog! I came there for help but left with the felling that paid money for nothing . Do not recommended this place for your lovely pets!
