We thank you for 14 years of outstanding service. Our cat Mickey currently under the very capable care of dr. Solomon is already showing improvement.

The care animal medical center of Chicago has provided to our dogs over the years has been fantastic. We are on our 6th dog that just became a new patient. If you want your furry friend(s) to have the best veterinary care possible, this is the place to go!

This is the best vet I've ever been to, by a mile! They care deeply about you and your pets. Dr. England treated us with such care and grace in such a tough situation. I am beyond grateful I found this place.

I have been taking our animal companions to Animal Medical Center of Chicago for ~30 years now. We are just starting with our third group of cats with them, and I wouldn't think of taking them anywhere else. I can't say enough great things about the friendly staff, how they have always treated our cats with respect and love as if they were their own, and have solved some really complicated medical issues, all while giving solid, frank advice.

Special shout outs to Dr. Solomon, Dr. Janik, and Dr. England, all who have gone above and beyond with our critters, and helped us give them long, healthy, happy lives. Thank you for being so awesome!

I have lovingly brought 4 cats over the last 25 years to AMC. Dr. Solomon from day one has been caring, personable and knowledgeable. Through happiest of times.new kitties; to the hardest.time to say goodbye. We now have just one girl who is 18 and showing signs of slowing down. It is so helpful to know Dr. Solomon helps decide what is worth doing and what is going to bring little help and less a quality of life.

I would trust her with any pet. Also have to shout out that the staff goes out of their way relaying messages, getting back to me and just plain personable when you are there. Go here and go without doubt that your pet will be taken care of surpassing the best standards.

The Staff is very respectful, polite, and friendly. The clinic is very clean. The staff gave me full explanation about Sweetie's condition as well as several options about what can be done to correct it. The wait time to be seen was very short. The staff showed genuine concern for Sweetie. They kept me informed about the cost for her meds and test.

They also discussed a treatment plan for her that would allow me to afford to pay her bill. I am very thankful to have met them and for doing business with them. I will recommend them to anyone who has a pet.

We took our cat here for years until we had to switch to a vet in Skokie. They always took very good care of our baby and were very diligent! The clinic is always clean and the staff have always been helpful and efficient, although those things matter much less to me than the actual care my cat receives. Unfortunately, the new vet we tried taking our cat to wasn't great and there was a mishap with blood work/medication refills so I desperately emailed Animal Medical Center and they were kind enough to help me, even though we had to switch vets!

They were also helpful in the beginning of the switching process with faxing over her file. I really appreciate all they've done for us and if we could keep taking our baby here we absolutely would! Maybe we'll be able to come back someday. :

Amazing group of doctors for my three fuzzy kids. Dr Solomon is innovative and thorough, always keenly involved in detailed care of the most challenging cases. My two dog kids need special care and the clinic and staff are superb. Kind, caring and sweet. Thank you!

We had a great experience with this clinic over the years helping us with our beloved, large shepherd mix dog. They were responsive and caring, and often provided multiple options and perspectives for care. They helped us navigate the difficult end of life process with our dog with compassion and patience. When we get another dog I'll bring them back here. I would recommend this clinic to friends and family.

Dr. Solomon & her team are the best in Chicago. Literally saved my cat's life & follow up care is incredible. As is routine visit care - we've been using this group for nearly a decade & the attention to detail, professionalism, compassion, high quality of care is extraordinary. No matter what the case, I am always rest assured & couldn't be more confident my cat is in the best hands.

We cannot thank the staff and veterinarians enough for helping us navigate our dog's behavior. We were scared and desperate for help, and they were able to squeeze us in the same day. Dr. Ogishi counseled us through all of our options and helped us through the hardest decision we have ever had to make. She spent so much time on the phone with us, answering all of our questions and was extremely compassionate.

After experiencing ongoing scary issues with our dog, she prioritized our wellbeing and provided us with the help we so badly needed. She asked us so many questions about his behavior over time, and we felt confident and trusted her expertise. She felt part of our family during this difficult time and made this gut-wrenching day much more manageable and gave us the reassurance we needed.

This vet has been an incredible resource for us before we even adopted our dog. When shopping for vets, we asked our top three choices what their process is in an emergency and not only was their answer the most detailed and supportive, but their execution went beyond that. Without a doubt, we feel that the prompt understanding and help that every member of their staff provided saved us and others in our community from severely getting hurt.

The decision was devastating, but we cannot wait to set up an appointment in the future when we are ready to bring home a new dog. After hearing our story, our close friends and family agree that Animal Medical Center of Chicago deserves an outstanding recommendation and thank you.

We love Dr. Simpson and the staff at Animal Medical Center of Chicago! We came after a bad experience at another vet in the Chicago area. Our puppy, Koda had an ear infection and was treated so poorly at our former vet. We mentioned this to Dr. Simpson and her and the staff did everything they could to give Koda a positive vet experience. Koda let Dr. Simpson take a peek in both ears—with some yummy coercing of course. Koda left all smiles (see pic for proof). If you’re looking for a practice that listens and addresses all of your concerns, we would highly recommend Animal Medical Center of Chicago—they’re the absolute best!

I cannot thank every single person at Animal Medical Center for what they did for my dog Trey throughout his years as a patient there.
Everytime he came into the clinic everyone was so excited to see him and it made my heart so happy. He may have been a little bit difficult to treat since he had a giant attitude and was extremely stubborn, but he truly was a good dog.
Anytime he ended up at the emergency vet, someone follows up the next day and for that, I cannot thank you enough.
Trey passed last night and everyone there made this extremely difficult time in my life a little bit better knowing how loved he was by all the staff and drs there. Drs. Solomon, Janik, England, Ogishi, and Simpson, thank you so much for treating us as part of your family. We all appreciate it more than you know. When it’s time to add another dog to our household, I know I’ll be seeing all of you again. Thanks so much again

Many thanks to Dr. Tim England who pretty much saved my little long haired chihuahua. Dr. England has an amazing bedside manner. He explained things well and answered all my questions. I had called eight vets trying to find an open appointment to avoid the emergency vet. Luckily AMC had an open appointment. Everyone from the receptionist, the vet tech, and doctor were extremely friendly, caring, and helpful. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Highly recommend!!
