Animal Medical Center of Chicago

Animal Medical Center is exactly the fear free veterinary clinic we were looking for. Unfortunately our shelter dog is pretty shy and had a bad experience at another vet that made him extremely anxious to return to any vet offices. Dr Simpson and the staff came up with a great plan to make sure his visits are comfortable and safe for everyone.

Thanks to Animal Medical Center for making sure he lives a happy and healthy life!

This has been our vet for two dogs now, and we just love them. Very caring and they work hard to make it a good experience for the dogs. They are also great about integrating my kids in appts, answering their questions, etc. We love Dr. Simpson but everyone here is wonderful!

I made the tough decision of having to send my baby to the rainbow bridge last night. It was an emergency situation. They took me in immediately when I called. They were compassionate. Everyone I worked with was very helpful and took good care of my Bella. Thank you for making a tough day a little easier. I knew immediately I was in good hands. I know it can't be easy on your end to have to manage these situations. I appreciate the love and care put into my situation.

I recommend this vet to all of my fellow pet parents. They are always so gentle and understanding with my nervous dog. He is blind and the staff is always mindful of that and treats him with respect and let's my husband and I participate in his care.

They never rush us when we have questions and are always happy to slow down and show us the process they are doing to help us become more knowledgeable pawrents.

The staff here are lovely! They made my scared boy as comfortable as possible and even drew me a picture on his prescription bag. So glad to have found you! Thank you!

I have nothing but good things to say about this vet and its wonderful staff! When I found a pregnant cat and suddenly went from 1 cat to 6, I had no idea what to do! The staff at AMCOC were so helpful and kind, getting everyone the care they needed to thrive. Dr. Simpson, Dr., Behnke, William, Jo, and SO MANY other members of staff have been beyond caring and attentive to my pets, and I appreciate it more than anything. When my adult cat needed dental surgery, they went above and beyond to make him comfortable and calm. If you want your pets to have the love and care you would give them, this is your vet.

Absolute best veterinary practice I've ever encountered. My dogs have seen all the vets and especially love Dr. Solomon and Dr. Janik. The care and consideration they receive is extraordinary. Even when losing my older dog to a devastating cancer, Dr. Solomon remained unfailingly clear eyed, compassionate, and supportive. She then treated my surviving dog for the intense anxiety and stress that losing her pair-bonded friend induced. I love the experience, energy and flexibility this practice offers. The hours are great, they have emergency appointment slots, it's easy to fill medications, follow up care is consistent, and up to date on the medical literature. Best of all, the practice works with reactive, shy-fearful, and medically complex cases, which was a lifesaver after my rescues proved to be less than enthusiastic about vet visits.

This place is the most amazing vet I have ever been too. Since we got our French Bulldog 5 years ago, it is the only place we trust to take care of our little girl. I was recommend by a former colleague and I couldn’t be more thankful. Dr England especially is one of a kind. He is the most caring, thoughtful, compassionate vets I could ever have asked for. Having a Frenchie comes with its ups and downs and Dr England has been with us every step of the way. We do not trust anyone else with our baby and he has gone above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. (Not to mention answer ALL of my crazy dog parent questions with a smile). Thank you Animal Medical Center for everything you do! We love you guys!!

Animal Medical Center of Chicago is compassionate, patient, and the pinnacle of good care. If you have an anxious pet who struggles with vet visits, this is the place to go. As a fear-free facility, they not just knowledgeable about animal medicine but animal behavior as well, and know what questions to ask and how to work with anxious pets to make your visit as stress-free as possible. Before I came to them, I used to leave most vet visits in tears, but not anymore.

Dr Donna Solomon is amazing!! We just switched Veterinarians as I wasn't overly thrilled with the place we were going. I adopted my pup at age 2-1/2 and though best to keep with his current vet.

I am so glad we switched to Dr Solomon, she was incredibly thorough and listened to my concerns about various little things about my boy. Items I had repeatedly asked his old vet about, and they more or less brushed them off ...

Finally, we have an incredibly thorough Veterinarian.

I highly recommend Animal Medical Center!

They do have 4 parking spots behind the building, but good luck finding an open spot. In fact don't bother, park across the street in front of St Bonaventure.

My 2 cats have been seeing the veterinarians at Animal Medical Center since they were kittens and were adopted more than 16 years ago. The entire staff is wonderful and friendly and has provided my cats (and me) with excellent care over the years. Friends and family who I have referred to AMC have been similarly pleased, even where diagnoses had been previously elusive for their beloved pets. I recommend AMC to friends and contacts alike and will continue to do so because of the excellent care that they provide!

We started bringing our puppy to AMCC shortly after bringing him home and have been extremely happy with the staff, ease of scheduling, care, and support! Scheduling his vaccinations and puppy appts was a breeze.
When we have a question and aren’t sure if we need to bring our pup in, the staff is so great about communicating via text or phone call and always follows up to see how he’s doing.
As a first time pet owner, I have so much peace of mind knowing I can reach out with any concerns.
Thank you for everything, AMCC!

I have been going to Animal Medical Center of Chicago for about 4 years now. The entire staff is incredibly kind, friendly and they truly care about their patients. My cats and dog are like my children and I fully trust the entire staff there to not only take great care of my babies but also to be comforting and loving to them when they’re in their care. I recently had to visit another vet during the transition of adopting my dog and I was reminded of how grateful I am of Animal Medical Center of Chicago and Dr. Simpson. A handful of people in my neighborhood go there as well and I’ve never heard anything but glowing reviews from them.

We have been going here with all of your dogs since they opened. I know that we get the best treatment here and that they follow up with our visits with our specialists (if we have one) and will always find an answer to our medical needs even if it is not at our appt. We love AMC!!!!!

I've had a great experience with everyone at Animal Medical. They truly care about the animals and are not pushy when it comes to treatment. They discuss the facts and give advice, but make sure pet parents know that they have to be comfortable with the treatment

I could not be happier with the care that all the staff at the Animal Medical Center of Chicago have provided to my beloved miniature schnauzer. A special thanks to Dr Simpson. She always takes the time to explain any recommendations for my dog’s health care plan and makes me feel informed and comfortable with his medical treatment. This is the most wonderful and caring clinic.

Thank you for the wonderful care ❤ Helping us navigate canine oncology and end of life care. We will always remember the kindness compassion and professional experience we received from animal medical center of Chicago. We have visited many times over the years, but the support we needed and received this time around, we are eternally grateful.

I think this place is top notch. I have a reactive dog that's fairly anxious and they accommodate this really well, clearing the hallways and doorways and scheduling us early in the morning. They make scheduling easy, and are always very prompt with email responses. Since my dog is on behavioral meds this was super helpful and I really feel that Dr. Ogishi really cares about my dog's progress. I really appreciate it!

It is pricier than other vets we've seen in Chicago but I think that this is worth it because we do need specialized accommodations, but if my dog was 'normal' it might be frustrating.

You seriously cannot find better care and compassion for your furbabies. The vets and staff really care about their patients and always call to check up on them.

They even crammed my baby in when they and no openings for an emergency, and the doctor spent over an hour with us. Truly is the best care in Chicago.

My 4-legged children, Phoenix, Iggy, Zach, Romeo, Kai, and Zoe, have all been throughly cared for, and treated by Donna Solomon DVM. I have been working with her before she opened AMC, beginning at Blum after her graduation (that's over 4 decades) and I have never been happier with her care and advice. I also say this as someone who has spent their entire career in the health care arena. Look no further than AMC for the care of your pets
