Dr. Cristina is AMAZING!! I have had nothing but great experiences here at this vet. My cat was diagnosed with diabetes this year & it really took a toll on me emotionally & financially. I was taking her to the Hyde Park Animal Clinic in Chicago (worst vet ever never bring your pets) at first & based on the way they treated my cat & I, I knew I had to find somewhere else for us to go. Thankfully I came across this place. Dr. Cristina has been nothing short of a blessing for me & my girl Oreo. I mean any question I have, she always has an answer to. She also reassures me & makes Oreo & I as comfortable as possible. Any time I call, even if she’s with a client, she always calls back. Since switching Oreo over to OPAH, Oreo has gone into remission in just under a month with the advice of the Dr. Cristina. Dr. Cristina says she’s a miracle baby & I can’t agree more! Highly recommend this place. Please ask for Dr. Cristina she’s so knowledgeable.

My husband and I were looking for a local vet with more of a community and family vibe after adopting our new puppy. Unfortunately, Oak Park Animal Hospital was not quite that. The staff was really nice, but did not care much to get to know us. When we had a concern about our pup, the vet did not call back for just over 48hr and our puppy was left with uncontrolled, severe symptoms that whole time. It was during the week with regular business hours when we were calling. We did not know what to do and felt she was very much uncared for. We changed to a different local vet, and they were VERY responsive, got us in for a visit in less than 12hr, and confirmed that while our pup did have demodex, itching with demodex is very unusual and she’s been suffering from a secondary bacterial infection the whole time. She’s now on oral antibiotics and already feeling better, thank goodness! We also did not like the practice won’t examine your pet in front of you, they are EXTREMELY expensive, and there’s no cost transparency at all whatsoever. Spent over 350 dollars here in less than a month all for what ended up being a missed diagnosis anyway. Spent WAY LESS at the new vet for a correct diagnosis on the first visit, and they show you an estimate up front prior to completing services. Do not recommend unfortunately. I hope they can make some improvements in their approachability moving forward for other pet owners!

How much do I love Dr. D. and the crew, let me count the ways. I first started going to OPAH a number of years ago when I adopted and required services for my ferret, Sheridan. They were wonderful with him and provided so much knowledge and support. When it came his time to expire, the personnel handled everything and were all very sad, as he had become a part of their family as well. More recently, I have taken one of my cats and a new acquired Guinea pig to see Doctor D. As always...extremely knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating to all of our needs. Thank you!!

I've only gone here once for the flu vaccine, but I think I found my vet!!! I tried PetVets animal hospital for flea and tic shots or something like that and they thought my baby was a monster. They gave her anxiety meds for future visits, said she needs a behaviorist/ psychological help, and that I should never let her be around other dogs. They were unhelpful when I asked about what is the nearest, best emergency room. It was a really bad, stressful situation for everyone involved. At the Oak Park Animal Hospital they were very kind to my rhodesian ridgeback and she likes them. They are very good at explaining things and answering my questions. They have lots of good information. They have treats!! My dog especially likes the guy who is like the physicians assistant or nurse type role.
