Brought my dog Theo because he was bitten by another dog. Dr. Sullivan and his assistant (Jenny I think was her name) were both very kind and knowledgeable. It was clear that to them the patient is my dog and Dr. Sullivan put Theo at ease. They checked for signs of infection or fever, gave Theo a physical and removed tartar from his front teeth which I felt went above and beyond. The pricing for our visit very fair and comparable to other animal hospitals I’ve been to in the suburbs. Thank you for taking care of my dog.

I highly recommend this place if you live in Chicago. I feel so comfortable that my dogs are getting the best care. I missed a call from Dr Sullivan and I called back later and I was able to speak with him directly. He explained things in a way that made sense to me and that is so hard to find. Not only that but he wasn’t even my original doctor but wanted to give me results asap. I wish I could remember the name of the original doctor who was also so thorough, caring and patient. I appreciate it bc we all know how anxiety inducing going to the vet with a problem with our animals can be.

I had a wonderful experience at Uptown Animal Hospital. The staff was professional and welcoming and they treated my new pet with care!

Wade S.

★★★★★

COMPETENT WITHOUT THE RUNAROUND. When several other veterinary offices woke up and chose stupidity, the staff here chose competence, kindness, timeliness, and professionalism. Despite being busy, they were very compassionate and accommodating with my dog. I didn’t ask for special treatment - I just needed my dog taken care of. I believe competence should be rewarded, so my money and my dog now go here. Lucky to have found this crew.

The friendliest vets and assistants! They cleaned my cat's carrier after he had an accident in it on the way to our appointment. They really care about their clients, both human and furry.

Anne R.

★★★★★

Scheduling was quick and easy. Even on a busy Saturday, we were checked in quickly and hardly waited at all. The Dr and the entire staff were friendly and attentive, and explained everything clearly. They answered all of my questions. I really appreciate the great care you took with my senior girl and hopefully we'll get to continue seeing you for a few more years!

Vahona R.

★★★★★

I've been taking my pets here for over four years now and have always been thrilled by the care shown by the whole staff at Uptown Animal Hospital. My cat has FIV so ends up needing more frequent care and I totally trust this practice with his health no matter what comes up. I also appreciate that I can get a pretty quick response from a vet or vet tech when I have questions!

Emily M.

★★★★★

Uptown Animal Hospital is great. Easy and proresional staff. I've been going there for 8 years with all good experiences.

★★★★★

AMAZING PEOPLE!!! On our very first visit, our husky was due for all of her vaccinations. She is notorious for screaming (not barking) because she is extremely nervous at the vet. The team made sure she was calm and comfortable – she didn't scream once! By the end of the appointment, she was so comfortable that she was laying on the floor ready for belly rubs and a nap. Love this place, truly an Andersonville gem!

Andrew S.

★★★★★

Everyone at UAH is so friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative! You can tell they really care about every animal, and they're always so helpful whenever I have questions. Buffy loves coming here for her checkups and especially loves the treats 🙂

juli del P.

Everyone at Uptown Animal Hospital is great. The staff are always friendly and genuinely care about our cats' wellbeing. Dr. Whisler is the best vet we've ever had. He's always taken great care of our cats, and I can tell they feel relaxed when they see Dr. Whisler. I would recommend anyone in the neighborhood that is looking for a great animal hospital to provide care for their furry family members!

We've been taking our cats to Uptown Animal Hospital since their initial one year check-up during COVID, and just this summer we were fortunate enough to have them be our vet while we were in the process of moving out of the country.Uptown Animal Hospital (especially Jenny) has been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating during the stressful few months we had to get the cats paperwork in order and signed off by the USDA.They are a credit to the neighborhood and we are thankful to have had such a good vet be so near at such a crucial time.The cats paperwork was completed without fault, returned from the USDA on schedule, and the cats successfully traveled through two different countries without a single hiccup.We are sorry to be moving so far away from such a good vet.Best wishes,Andri Kidd

The vets and staff here are great. They were gentle with my dog and answered all our questions. I’ve even had to call them in an emergency situation and they were right on top of it. Thanks uptown animal hospital! We’re so grateful to have a neighborhood vet that cares.

My boyfriend Mike came home to find that his beloved dog passed away last Friday morning. It was completely unexpected, and obviously devastating. In the peak of his distress, at a loss for what to do, he called Uptown Animal Hospital and they compassionately instructed him on his next steps. When he arrived, the same kind woman who he spoke to on the phone was waiting for him with open arms, ready to help however she could. Every staff member there, from the front desk to behind the scenes, were so comforting, supportive, and empathetic, even sending him a sympathy card in the mail with all their signatures and well wishes the following week. While the whole neighborhood has been mourning the loss of Lefty, I know that there are levels of his grief that could not be matched by another. Every time Mike has had to retell the story of what happened that terrible morning, he always makes a point to talk about how wonderful the staff was at Uptown Animal Hospital was to him in a time of real crisis. We are forever grateful and encourage anyone to bring your business their way.

Our dog Rosie had to be put to sleep on Monday. I couldn't compose myself to help pick her up to the table. I was crying hysterically and couldn't bring myself to do it. They were gentle and nice. I hated having to do it but they made it easier to handle.

Dave M.

★★★★★

Every vet and vet tech at uptown is absolutely amazing. They have been my family vet for 15 years and I can’t be happier. They have been there for me through it all. New pets, Senior pets and having to say goodbye. Dr. Lilja is our favorite but all the others are a close second. Highly recommend this loving practice.

My cat was extremely troublesome the day of our appointment, but they gave her room to feel less anxious, while keeping everyone safe. Seemed a bit pricy to me, but truly excellent and compassionate care.
