Reviews of River Forest Animal Hospital
This team is stellar!!! They are great with their clients, communicative and transparent; caring about their patients, they love what they do and it shows. Prices are comparable I feel in this day and age. They took great care of my dog Memphis when he had to have foreign body surgery. Thank you River Forest Animal Hospital!!
The entirety of River Forest Animal Hospital is always very caring and accommodating. I cannot recommend them enough.
The front desk takes the time to be engaging without any decrease in efficiency.
Vet techs are always more than happy to answer questions and pass along to the doctors any they cannot answer.
The doctors are absolutely wonderful. Caring, compassionate, and take a genuine interest in both their patients and owners. Follow up is amazing.
We’ve boarded our dog at River Forest animal hospital as we were visiting relatives in Oak Park.
The staff were amazing. So friendly, positive, and helpful. The vet stayed in touch with us regarding our dog and updated her progress. I would not hesitate at all in using their facilities again.
We love the care from the team at River Forest Animal Hospital. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate to your pet’s needs. Dr. Thomas has taken great care of our senior (19 years old) cat and we trust him and the team with every visit.
River Forest Animal Hospital is by far the best animal care provider I've ever been with! They are very honest, patient and compassionate. I love the extra tlc they give my anxious, senior dog! I am so grateful to have found you!
My 10 year old dog was treated with care and respect throughout his canine teeth cleaning. He left with bright white teeth again! The staff showered him with love and the doc called me after the procedure and answered all my questions and then some! Highly recommend!
Dr. Kuehn is the absolute best. I trust her with my dog’s life. She always explains everything throughly and gives you options on how to address issues that your pet maybe dealing with. I feel very at easy knowing that she is the one handling and taking care of my dog. The entire staff is always pleasant and welcoming and I’ve never had an issue. Thanks so much guys!
We have had three cats ( and are about to take a fourth) and two dogs since they were puppies. All have been rescues that came with various issues. The doctors are wonderful, the staff is caring and the animals feel it. They all actually look forward to going over there (we can only tell with the dogs😁). They are very professional and fairly priced. We had gone to other specialists before and we much prefer River Forest. When our wonderful Lucas, our beautiful family dog, needed to be put to sleep, they worked with us to help him. They were caring and honest. We wanted to try everything possible. They told us about the chances of success and his quality of life. It was time. I treasure the note River Forest Animal Hospital sent to us. I know we aren’t the only one missing him.
I love this place! Friendly staff and my vet was amazing! Dr. Sherman is knowledgeable and great with my cat! I am so glad I found this place. Excellent care for animals!!! Highly recommend them!
Everyone here is so kind and generous with their time. The doctors are so knowledgeable and go out of their way to make sure we understand options available when our pets are having issues. They are best!!
We were concerned about our 12 year old yorkie’s health and wondered if an eye issue was life threatening. With a few medicines for an eye ulcer we went home relieved and with helpful treatment. Our dog is much more comfortable and enjoying life. Gratefully, Margot
I love everyone at this hospital. They are courteous and friendly. Doctor Sherman was very good with my dog, Coco. I highly recommend it.
River Forest Animal Hospital is wonderful !! They take excellent care of my French Bulldog. And keep me at ease. I trust them completely!
Excellent vet visit with my reactive dog. First time there and he loved everyone. Very thorough exam & all of my questions answered. We will be back.
Dr Sherman and her team are extremely attentive and really care for my pets. I feel like I know all of my options and walk away from each appointment with individualized care plans for each of my fur babies.
They are the best!! Weenie our dachshund loves everyone as do we!! Special ty to Dr Andrea for taking such good care of our boy!!
Fast, efficient and friendly staff are able to handle my frightened and sometimes difficult dog. I appreciate their expert handling of Violet my 11 year old mixed breed dog.
They was definitely caring and loving towards Lulu and she was very calm. I will be bringing her back for future appointments. ❤️❤️
First time going here. Everyone was very nice and friendly including other customers. I'm glad I chose this hospital for my pet.
We have been going to this animal hospital for several years. Dr. Thomas is a very compassionate vet, he explains everything so well. We lost our Sasha last year and he and the staff were wonderful. On a better note yesterday we brought in our new puppy Sadie. The Dr. Who took care of us her name is Jessica she and her assistant were great. Dr. Jessica was so sweet with our Sadie. The staff is wonderful and kind. I am looking forward to our next visit next month and hope Dr. Thomas can meet Sadie.
All the staff at RF Animal Hospital treat your pet as if he/she were their own. My dog Coco just had her second dental cleaning there. I am anxious about general anesthesia. Dr. Luo called me 90 minutes after I dropped Coco off to let me know that the procedure was completed and Coco was awake. I had a concern after bringing her home (hadn’t urinated yet!); it was handled professionally and with appropriate concern. They checked in with me two days later just to see how Coco was doing. I had some questions about a closed fracture of one her back teeth and which treats/toys were safe. My questions were answered promptly and in sufficient detail. I highly recommend this facility and Dr.Luo. I’m an RN & I wish I could say human medicine always lived up to these standards! You all ROCK! Kudos to all the staff. And a big thank you!
The entire staff was friendly and they took great care of my puppy. They also gave me lots of valuable tips and information. I’m very happy to have chosen this practice so far. They’re currently renovating but providing great service.
Had my dogs ears done they did an excellent job and was reasonably priced. The staff was so nice and helpful and professional. Really recommend this vet.
We've been taking our dogs to RFAH for 14 years because we appreciate the level of care our pets receive, the doctors' and technicians' availability and flexibility throughout COVID, and their compassion. Dr. Thomas was especially supportive as our now deceased lab aged and developed a degenerative nerve disease.
Dr. Thomas was terrific as always. Kind and attentive to my boy. Test results should be back soon. Very Expensive though.
The hospital was clean and the staff were very knowledgeable of how to handle animals. They knew how to handle my feisty cat. Jasmine was very calm there.
The staff and facilities are well worth your investment. Cssandra was so kind and thorough. Benjamin and Picasso love RFAH! Benjamin came home woth the best manicure. No more sliding across the kitchen floor. ☺️
We were there Tuesday August 17th, 2022
The construction was nerve racking to Ginger, she's a Morkie not a Yorkie, she's half Yorkie. When we visit again, I would like to be in the examination room during her shot injections.
Overall the visit was fair, it was our first time.
Fabulous staff who take amazing care of my 2 dogs. Extremely caring and kind. New renovation looks gorgeous!
Big thank you to this place I called a ton of vets for an emergency and they weren’t able to help but called back immediately and let me know where I could go. So much appreciation for your care and resources.
Took great and prompt care for my Eddie! They are wonderful and very caring, not only to your pet but also to the humans!
Everyone was wonderful. We are so grateful for the care they gave our dog when she had to stay in their facility for ten days. They all love animals and understood how hard the situation was for our dog and also for us. Staff is friendly, patient and knowledgeable.
Treating my dog Roxie for a scratched cornea. Dr. Sherman is very nice, explains everything thoroughly.
All the staff are very professional, caring and compassionate.
Dr. Thomas is a great vet. He explained all aspects of our dogs care. He was very caring and above and beyond when we needed him.
I would highly recommend this practice to any pet owner.
We have been seeing Dr. Thomas for more than 10 years and still feel comfortable to have our dog under his care. He is very knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and always have patience & willing to explain/discuss my questions. It’s tough to find an appointment during this pandemic and I wish it will be resolved when things get better. Really recommend this practice.
Thank you River Forest Animal Hospital for being so wonderful. The service is always top of class, the staff is considerate and kind, and it is clear they genuinely care about the animals they serve. Our rescue is proud to work with them for vetting services. If you need a reliable and excellent vet, this is your place!
I started using this vet for my cat about 9 months ago, and now my new dog this past week. I’ve been so pleased with the service and communication. The curbside drop off and pick up works smoothly. After the appointment the doctor themselves will call to give you an update. Everyone I’ve interacted with, either on the phone or in person, has been friendly and helpful, They are straightforward about costs and the bills have felt reasonable to me. Feel very fortunate to have found RFAH (and even more fortunate to live just a few blocks away!)
I took my dog, Watson, to River Forest for the first time since adopting him and was very happy with my experience! He was having some allergy issues and I used the curbside drop off and it was a very smooth transition. When the Dr called, she was very good at explaining what she was prescribing and listening to my feedback! Will definitely go back!
The vet and support staff communicate well, are very caring and very responsive to questions and concerns. Very careful at diagnosis and handling of my pets - I have brought cats, dogs and kittens for treatment. They have good followup too. We have used them for years and the quality has been and remains consistently high.
Dr.Luo is the greatest! My dog was bit by another dog and it became infected. She was amazing, very courteous, and gave my pups extra attention - as well as her owner (myself). I was very concerned about the procedure and she explained every step, called to check up, and was super attentive when I called with questions. My dog has been seen by a few other doctors at River Forest Animal Hospital and they have always been fantastic - I highly recommend taking your animals here!
The front staff are very polite and helpful. Our pet's primary vet, Dr Luo, is AWESOME! We were very concerned after Dr J retired but Dr Luo is an up-and-coming female version of Dr J! Dr Luo leaves nothing to chance with your pet. She will suggest additional testing if something seems out of sort or if the pet owner tells her that the pet's behavior has changed. Dr Luo will do research and confer with vet nutritionist and other vet colleagues, if necessary. I communicate with Dr Luo through email and she is very responsive. My husband and I and our two 4-legged furry little girls give Dr Luo 5+ Stars!!
I didn't have app't, bc I can never get my cat in carrier, but they took her in anyway, the staff and doctor were very nice and I appreciated them treating her anyway, with only one vet that day..Lucy feels much better and I'm grateful!
Great care, thoughtful front desk staff, vet tech’s who know how to handle any loved family pet.
We just started going here. So far the staff is very nice and accommodating. The doctor always called to let me know how my pup was doing, whether with blood work results or after a procedure. They make everything easy.
Everyone who works there is highly knowledgeable, skilled, and friendly, and they all love animals! The hospital is very clean, and they're careful about COVID protocols.
Prices are quite a bit higher than what I was paying at my previous vet in Austin TX, but prices are going up everywhere on everything, and veterinary prices in particular now seem to be high everywhere due to demand exceeding supply.
We love River Forest Animal Hospital, especially Dr. Kania. My puppy has had some ongoing health issues and Dr. Kania has been there every step of the way doing everything she can to get him feeling better. She’s a great listener, doesn’t make me feel rushed when speaking to her on the phone, and I’m always comfortable with her and the staff when dropping my dog off. Their prices are very reasonable and they always have appointments, even if it’s a drop off appointment. Definitely recommend them!
This place is great—they saw my dog at the last minute after he cut himself on a planter corner and needed stitches. Thank you, Dr. Thomas!
We are new to the neighborhood and my dog, Lady Penelope, was absolutely terrified to be with a new vet. She had grown used to her previous vet and was very nervous entering the new vet's building. But all staff were incredibly kind and gentle and she settled in very nicely. Thank you for helping her feel welcome and safe!
I have gone to River Forest Animal Hospital for years. Probably the most important reason is Dr. Kuehn. She is pleasant, friendly and easy to communicate with. This is important in deciding what is best for my cat. Her knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, prompt responses, and flexibility are just amazing. She clearly wants what is best for my cat. I recommend her highly!
This is the first time I’ve had a dog in over 30 years. One of our rescue pups had what looked to be an eye infection. I called in and told them the symptoms and they got me in within an hour.
The doc was professional and patient.
I really like this place and I’m glad it’s close to my house. Both of our pups are patients here and I couldn’t be happier.
Normally I have a great experience but this visit concerned me due to the fact that my puppy came in with a head Injury to be treated and one of the workers dragged my puppy over to the back very aggressively with a tight leash they provide .. this could have been avoided had I or the worker just picked him up and layed him where he needed to be.They did Inform me my puppy will no longer be handled by that worker . I love river forest animal hospital they provide amazing communication and we hope to keep our fur baby as a a patient there for as long as we can .
I was very nervous about my dog's teeth cleaning. She is a rescue owner-surrender and came to me with pretty messy teeth. The vet called me directly to go over my concerns, and the staff checking us in were very compassionate. I got a prompt text when my dog woke up. She is recovering well and I really appreciate their communication and "hand holding."
My wife and I have been taking our dogs over here for more than ten years . The doctors are very professional and their staff members are courteous. People who I have recommended are impressed with their care however, their only complaint to me have been about the prices. To me I find the prices fair compared to the other Animal Hospitals in the surrounding area, however, no one can really put a price tag on "professionalism " and "care" when it comes to treating your pet and I like and trust the doctors here ,furthermore, they do not get offended when you challenge them with questions about treatment or procedures when it comes to your pet's care.
My two cats are well cared for. The doctors are kind and attentive, service is quick, it feels very safe, they have great a reminder system. We’re very happy with them and will stay.
Appreciate the attention and responsiveness from the vets and staff at River Forest Animal Hospital. Drop off is timely and a seamless process; it's especially helpful to have a mutual understanding of what services your pet needs and what it's likely to cost. Phone conversations with vets on staff are informative and have always included options to consider. Great service, and great care!
I have been taking my pets (2 cats & a dog) to RFAH for the past 12 yrs. They are kind, reliable, knowledgable, and provide excellent care and great communication. I trust them to provide the best care and advice for my pets. Very convenient location too! Right by Jewel :)
We've used RFAH for over a decade and have never had a less than great experience. Highly recommend them!
I appreciated that I was able to get my puppy an appointment in a timely manner. The staff were kind and followed Covid procedures . However I found the clinic’s communications to be problematic. I received multiple ‘reminders’ that my dog needed shots- yes, that is why I have an appointment and, as a puppy, she is not overdue. Secondly, the clinic collected the same information several times which was repetitive and annoying. Lastly, the check-out process was incomplete with missing puppy pack and starter flea/tick prevention. A review of the customer experience would be beneficial.
Once I arrived at the vet the receptionist was prompt, informative and friendly. My wait was short. The intake assistant and doctor were friendly, checked previous information and clarified my reason for the visit. This was an overall positive experience for my cat and me.
Good service, but followup could be better - had to call them to get notes and specificity on diagnoses, the phone conversation was good and they took time to respond, but I had to ask for important details. Also, phone is frequently busy and it was initially difficult to get the email address I needed to send documents from prior point of care for my pet. However I think they did a decent job with the first visit overall.
I am grateful to Dr Thomas and his team for caring for my handicapped pup. I trust all implicitly and appreciate their encouraging supportive help as she ages. Not only professional in technical care but compassionate and thoughtful.
They have taken care of Coco like he was a child of everyone! It was so wonderful to hear great things were going on with his stay there.
Dr. Thomas and his staff are the best. Been going to River Forest Animal Hospital since 1996 and we just got a new puppy and continue to go to see Dr. Thomas even though we moved to Oakbrook.....he and his staff are the most compassionate and knowledgeable around...
I’ve been to a couple of different places for my new pet. I wasn’t really impressed with either until I came here. Dr Lou and the staff was very attentive; as a new pet owner they took the time to answer all my questions. My search is now over as I have found the perfect clinic at the River Forest Animal Hospital for me and my new pet!
Recently had an annual exam as well as dental cleaning for our Labrador. The doctor and technicians were very thorough with communication, caring towards our dog and overall reasonably priced. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a vet.
We've been going to this vet for a couple years and have always had a good experience. Dr. Kuehn is great with both older dog, and our 6mo puppy. Recently, we had to get some teeth extractions done, as well as a neuter for our pup. The procedures were reasonably priced, we were able to pick them up the same day, they recovered nicely, and even got their nails done during their stay!
All-in-all, they're the best vet I've ever been to!
Top notch pet care, and the vets are awesome. The techs are amazing too! Brought my new puppy in when he had a pretty bad accident (he got so happy to see me get home, that he jumped 12 feet down from our lofted bedroom), and we were able to get an appointment in 90 minutes with minimal wait time when we got there. The vet and techs were super nice, honest, and the visit was reasonably priced. The veterinarian thoroughly examined my puppy and answered all of my questions without rushing us out for the next appointment. My little puppy Goku just found his permanent veterinarian!
I originally posted this review last year but I just had my dog’s annual exam and feel the same way as last year- that it seems like the vets and vet techs/other staff really care about the animals and I feel like they’re knowledgeable and kind, I’m really happy with the way they’ve treated my dog there and really recommend them 😊🐕. And they really take the time to explain options and pros/cons with you when discussing your pet’s treatments and I appreciate that a lot
We had a wonderfully simple last minute visit and everyone at RFAH was kind and professional. Amanda welcomed us, listened carefully and brought our dog in for her examination. After a warm and thorough explanation of our dogs issue she was returned to us promptly. Thank you Dr. Lao, I feel comfortable addressing our dog's possible allergies with you.
Just as one should feel comfortable with their Doctor, you should feel both comfortable, and confident with your Vet. The only thing that concerned me was the cost. I think that’s why so many dog’s teeth are neglected. Most people can’t afford to have their dog’s teeth cleaned.
We love taking our senior dog to Dr. Kania at River Forest. She totally listens to us and explains all things very carefully and in a detailed way. Everyone is extremely compassionate and caring there!
They care so much about our pets! Dr Lou has been amazing in helping figure out what was wrong with my baby. I so appreciate her care and compassion to find the cause of his pain. She truly went above and beyond. Best Vet around!
We have been going here for years, and the care is always phenomenal! Drs. Juhnke and Thomas have taken care of all of our dogs, one of whom had many health issues, and they have always gone above and beyond for their patients. Their calming demeanor, exceptional veterinary and surgical skills, and unparalleled compassion have always made me feel like our fur babies are in the best hands! I recently met Dr. Lou for the first time, and had a great experience as well. Dr. Thomas recently saw my cat, who is incredibly fearful of strangers and new places, and he was so wonderful with her! All of the docs here are outstanding, and the vet techs and front desk are always friendly and helpful too! I would definitely recommend this practice to anybody looking for exceptional care for their four legged companions!
Dr. Kania and staff always go above and beyond. The receptionists however, are always pretty rude. I highly recommend going to this vet!
Our cat recently got spayed and they were there for every step of the process.
Dr. Kuehn at River Forest Animal Hospital has been caring for our two adopted dogs. She is very attentive and listens to our concerns. We appreciate the professionalism and customer service from all of the staff!
Dr. Thomas is truly fantastic! I have full confidence in his ability to treat my 2 Sphynx cats. He is caring, compassionate and understanding not to mention my sweet kitty girls love him! The staff at River Forest Animal Hospital are the BEST around!
We just moved here with our 6 year old cat. We were already looking for a new vet for him to have his yearly check up. Two days ago we adopted a 12 year old cat. We were able to schedule a visit for both. The Vet was great with both cats. With the older cat he really explained everything to us, run the appropriate tests, and put us at ease learning about the new cat. The front desk associates were very helpful and friendly. We are so lucky to have found a great vet on the first try!
I've been bringing Confetti my cat here for about 4 years now maybe the 5th year since I've adopted her and I honestly like coming here, its close and the price's are reasonable and very professional manner. I wouldn't bring my cat anywhere else.They are very informative with everything. Thank you!
We can enthusiastically recommend the River Forest Animal Hospital to all who are looking for loving and comprehensive care for their pets. The team is very kind and helpful! Their staff helped us quickly with all necessary documentation to take the cats overseas. Doctors are great and caring!
My cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes. She was prescribed a high dose of Insulin by another animal clinic, and reacted badly. I brought her in to River Forest, and they advised to immediately take her to an emergency clinic, due to possibility of ketoacidosis. Thankfully, she was fine but dehydrated. Subsequently I brought her back to River Forest for a follow up, and they determined the correct dose of Insulin for the cat. The kitty is doing well now. I am very happy with the treatment my cat received.
About 8 weeks ago our dog was diagnosed with renal failure. Dr. Luo was patient, responsive, empathetic and very professional throughout the process. We cannot say enough about her care and bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Luo and all of the staff at River Forest Animal Hospital for your wonderful work.
The vets are exceptional at RFAH, and I trust them completely. They are knowledgeable, accessible, communicative and truly compassionate. They genuinely understand our love for our pets. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and they make an effort to get to know the patients and the owners. I appreciate the convenient office hours.
Excellent overall! The doctors (Dr. Luo & Dr. Thomas) and crew are the best! Knowledgeable and super friendly! Facility is clean w plenty of parking!
This was my first visit—a checkup for my beloved, senior cat. Dr. Thomas was fantastic—called with test results the morning after my visit and was clear, caring, and thorough in explaining results, answering questions, and talking thru a plan of care. I’m looking forward to working together.
Dr. Kania & the staff were great. My Shih Tzu puppy was neutered & the communication during and after was very good. He's wearing a onesie to prevent incision licking and is on the road to recovery. I'd definitely recommend River Forest Animal hospital.
Really great job, and everyone was super friendly. Dr. Kania offered another solution for my cat's perma sore eye, and I appreciate the thoroughness and knowledge level she had. I highly recommend this practice.
Dr. Kuhn was fantastic! We were dog sitting and that dog had an accident that forced us to bring it in for stitches and everyone there was great, the service was great, attentive, gentle and affectionate. Great attention to detail and tremendous aftercare. I highly recommend this Animal Hospital. Thank you again Dr. Kuhn and your staff!
Dr Thomas was wonderful to my cat Allie. Allie had an emergency and they took us right away. Dr Thomas informed what to do to help Allie. I highly recommend them.
Love this place! Really really recommend! This has been my pup's vet ever since I had him. Dr. Luo is his vet. She is so nice, caring and very professional! My pup loves her and I am so grateful to have her.
The staff is wonderful and Dr. Thomas is always very thorough and easy to understand after procedures.
Very thoughtful and caring to our sweet cat. They called and texted with updates during his stay. They gave him a lot of love while he was there as he was very stressed. The staff are very kind and professional.
I love this place. They take very good care of my dogs and save me on shipping for my heartworm, flea and tick meds by allowing my to purchase them at the location.
I am very confident that my pet will be in good hands every time I take her there. The doctors and the staff are all very friendly, caring and extremely professional. The hospital is very organized and clean. I will not take my pet anywhere else for her care.
I absolutely love RFAH! Everyone is amazingly friendly and professional. Dr. Luo is the best, she always takes time to have a conversation and it’s obvious how much she loves animals. Curbside service has also been great, but I miss going inside and saying hi! You’ll love this place!
Dr. Thomas and staff are amazing! They treat your pets as if they were their own. I have some hard to handle dogs when it comes the vet, and the staff here is willing to take the time to get to know my dogs, go at their pace, and make the whole experience less stressful. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else!
Dr. Andrea is wonderful and the staff is so caring.
Always polite and easy to deal with over the phone. If they have to put you on hold, it's never for more than a minute or two. They send you email reminders of when your pet is due for shots and such (great for me, a first-time cat owner.) On my first visit there they gave me a 25% discount for services because my kitten was recently rescued and it was his first visit! Very friendly and competent staff, easy parking, forms they give you a chance to fill out ONLINE ahead of time (to minimize time spent at the office), clean facilities.
I highly recommend Dr Thomas. He is kind, gentle and happy. My dog is very anxious and Dr T puts him at ease. The staff are all polite, welcoming and thorough. The bonus...I have yet to wait my appt...the Dr runs on time!! RF Vet is the very best!
I'm very pleased with the care RFAH provides. I love the pet care website where I can keep track of my pets health. I would definitely recommend RFAH to anyone looking for a wonderful team of caregivers as well as a prompt, courteous stafff
I've always had a great experience here. They are caring and gentle but also well equipped and thorough. I have only taken cats here but in my experience they're the best vet clinic in the area. They aren't the cheapest by any means, but I haven't found their prices unreasonable.
Took great care of my dog Daisy that had severe vomiting. Kept me updated throughout the process. Highly recommend! Daisy also loved the vet, not very common among animal clinics!
Very welcoming clinic. All of the staff and physicians are very skilled and have helped us tremendously with our yorkie!
First time using their services and I was so very impressed from start to finish. They took very good care of my fathers dog Chani . The estimates are very reasonable and I would highly recommend their services. Thank you to River Forest Animal Hospital Staff!!
Dr. Kania and the whole team of vet techs always make me feel comfortable, and I know my Duke is being taken very good care of. I’m a new dog owner and they’ve been very patient with me.
I have taken my older cat (15 years) here for two years now and I like the quality of care and the overall experience. They had some turnover in vets and I'm still learning more about his new vet but she does seem very competent overall. Some feedback for her might be to listen a bit more than talking, as sometimes we know our pets better than you think. As with most vets, there is a bit of upselling to more testing and services, but they aren't too hard-sell. At least they don't push prescription food like a lot of vets.
They are very conveniently located and there is plenty of parking, which is important criteria when lugging a pet. The facility is clean and they also will board cats, which very few pet boarding facilities will do anymore.
They take good care of our dogs. We recently switched from another practice in Oak Park and prefer going here. Our dog just had ACL surgery and is in recovery. The surgery seemed to have been done well as she is recovering well. It's not the cheapest place but you get good care. Easy to get appointments.
This has been the second vet that I’ve gone to for my dog, and after switching to them 2.5 years ago I’ve never had a single issue. They’ve been informative, diligent, and reassuring about a number of health issues I’ve had to contact them about - even when it’s been an overreaction on my part.
I just finished my puppies shots yesterday and I highly appreciate their support and professionalism along the way. I traveled from Chicago to this location based on the service. They answer all my questions and are efficient with getting my puppy in and out.
Highly recommended; "Dr. M" and the rest of the staff are super nice people. Our cat has been quite angry and hostile toward vets in the past, but Dr. M put her at ease and took great care of her, it was really wonderful. We'll definitely be back!
What a great place to receive excellent care for your pets, the staff is friendly and very professional and the doctors are wonderful. I finally found some great veterinarians that I can trust completely. I will always come back.
Bill Stout
On two different occasions, with 2 different pets, they were able to diagnose and actually treat them after previous had only cost insane amounts in bills with no help to the pets! They actually LISTEN to what pet parents have to say and take it into account when treating pets! They literally saved both pets lives. They are amazing and I recommend to everyone looking for a vet!
I've been taking my dog here since she was 10 weeks old. Service is great albeit somewhat expensive. I don't really have anything to compare it to but friends have said I pay a lot for yearly vaccination boosters. I will probably never change my bet though since my pups seems to respond well to their vets!
My baby boy of 15 years passed and I took him here. I was extremely emotional and was having a breakdown and they truly handled the situation with empathy and consideration. They are a little on the pricey side and his paw prints were given to me unbaked. But overall I appreciated how they treated me and my baby boy, Charlie, who I miss so very much. </3
this place is so amazing I recommend this palace to everyone who has a cat or a dog they are super sweet so kind they are always calling back to see if your pet is doing OK after an appointment they also are very flexible if need be they are amazing highly recommend this place!!! it feels like home I know I can count on them whenever my dogs sepi needs they really are there for you no matter how big or small your question is they are basically family
they are super understanding that my dog is super nervous and let me walk her to the door to make her feel better
Such amazing friendly staff.They enjoy working there. Never seen an unpleasant face. I been taking my 3 year old french bulldog there since she was a puppy. They are soo sweet to her. Plenty of parking as well.
wonderful care boarding, medically, great office staff, great follow up. Thank you for taking great care of our fur baby.
River Forest Animal Hospital is FABULOUS as always! Thanks for taking such great care of Dr. Leo Marvin!
We take our two older cats to the RFAH. Drs. Thomas and Kuehn respond in a very timely manner with good, clear information. I am very pleased with the care our cats receive.
Dr Thomas is always patient and explains everything thoroughly. We have trusted him with the care of our dog for years.
Everyone was concerned with my needs and that of my pet treated us with excellent care and I am so greatful for their time and patience.
Wonderful care and communication, as always !
We love River Forest Animal Hospital !
I'm so thankful I switched to this animal hospital after buying a home in River Forest. RF Animal Hospital puts the animal's health and well being first, ahead of their bank account, unlike the last Vet who took advantage of us financially for 10 years and didn't solve our dog's problem.
I was very pleased with their service, especially during this COVID lockdown. They came to the car and took my dog into the office and brought him back to the car. I've been going there for years. They up-ed their game with this process.
I've brought my dog here several times for routine checkups and medicine and never have had a problem. I always leave with a dent in my wallet, but I have no idea if that's specific to this place or just how vets are in general, so I'm not knocking it any stars.
Quick and easy. Efficient and friendly staff.
Friendly and professional staff.
My cats are always treated properly and carefully.
Prices are reasonable and appointments are timely and efficient.
The Drs here are fantastic. We just moved here from out of state. Got our dog in right away for physical and then a week later saw us immediately for an emergency. Saved our girl.
Very profrssional and friendly. Dr Thomas is the best
Very good with pets and people. My pets are never thrilled going to the vets but needless to say they always go home feeling better from their ailments!
Fast, efficient, everyone was very nice.
Great environment. I came there in the intention to apply for work. To assist a Veterinarian. No call back since. I am not too sure if I passed the test. But, I believe I will need a rabie shot first to work there.
This is a great place! They do a thorough job! It may cost a bit more but it’s so worth it! They will also ask you before they do anything so you are in control and know the charges. I’m now a loyal customer!
Dr Thomas took good care of my sweet cat Lucy. He explained cat asthma to me in detail, and made me feel better about how Lucy was doing with the treatment she was receiving. Thank you so much.
My 16(!) year old dog & 14(!) year old cat have seen a lot of vets. These ones here are the best. The staff is the best. The ancient doggo walks half mile (& back) just to visit.
They SAVED my cats life in a matter of minutes after MIDWAY EXOTIC ANIMAL HOSPITAL TRIED TO KILL MY CAT, this hospital is a very professional and very clean environment and they actually care about you and your pet and will work with you in every way they can I completely recommend and always will they stop at nothing to help.
I liked the easy visit. Waiting in the car was fine. The tech and the VMD took excellent care of my pet.
Very friendly professional atmosphere. Not a corporate feeling like so many others have become. Felt very comfortable..
My dog is very nervous about everything and she was treated extremely well here. Thank you for your professional and caring service!
Dr Thomas did a great job explaining everything and giving recommendations of the next steps. Staff was also friendly. Great experience.
Vet very competent and gentle. Staff friendly. Clean. My dog was not afraid. Some good vibes here. Get the FirstVisitCoupon online.

Staff is great and quick but thorough in checkups. My puppy loves to visit and say hi!
I’ve always had a great experience with the staff. Even through the pandemic they were helpful and responsive.
RFAH is the only local veterinarian clinic I can find online that easily directs you to 24 hour emergency care which they do not offer. Much respect!
Friendly staff and knowledge Vet. I feel like they know how to treat cats. I'm so glad I switched.
Easy to make appointments and they are very good at providing for my pets needs and helping me understand what's going in
