Merrick's is one of the finest and BEST Vet I have experienced with. The Vets and Staff are awesome and will do their best to provide to the pets and the owners. Recently I had to put down my pup and the Vet was so caring and took her time to explain everything to my children which it was so kind. Read Less

What can i say. At the beginning i wasn’t sure about this place. But in time and meeting the right people, i feel they had more understanding regarding my pets. Dr. Artinisha is a wonderful doctor. Aka the bunny doctor. But he caters other animals as well. The front desk ladies are lovely people. And there over all prices and are reasonable. And fair. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for all these. Also don’t forget to use your first time visitor get 15% off for new comers. Check this place out and make it your home vet for your pet! Because your pet deserves it. Read Less

Our cat, Savannah, and, my husband and I were treated respectfully, and, accurately. Our previous vet, was treating Savannah for feline leukemia. Dr. Martin took a sample of her blood, and, called to let us know that she is positive for feline AIDS, not leukemia. I consider that to be a pretty big error, particularly since we have another cat at home who is 16 years old. We lost his brother July 7, 2017. He was a big, beautiful cameo Maine Coon, who wasted away, losing 5-6 pounds in the months before he died after having many teeth extracted. He seemed to lose interest in living after the surgery. I suspect he may have contracted the feline AIDS from Savannah, although, we had no idea there was any risk, as leukemia is not contagious. If we had stayed with her practice, we would have been paying for the annual leukemia vaccine, and, been totally unaware of the mis-diagnosis. We miss Captain 'Kirk' every time we look at his brother, 'Flash' Gordon. Kirk was a laid back, happy cat who gave us great joy. It has been almost one year, and, I still find myself crying - I loved him deeply. I will miss him until the day I die. I have a suspicion that we might still have Kirk if we had taken him to Merrick 18 months ago. Dr. Martin is an angel in a lab coat, and, I found Dr. Martin, the receptionist, and, the vet tech to be friendly, knowledgeable, and, trustworthy. This was our first visit, and, we will be taking our pets to Merrick, from now on. Read Less

My dog buster gets the absolute best treatment from them. When you come here you can really tell that they care for your dog and want them to get the absolute best just like you do. The staff is very nice and friendly and helpful. As long as I’m in the area this will be my vet forever. Read Less

I took my dog Cody in for a check up and basic blood work. The doctors and staff was great with Cody whose a rescue dog, i recently adopted. The doctor called me back the next day with results, unfortunately he has an infection which he was given antibiotics and medication. Lucky nothing serious. I would differently recommend Merrick. Also, I use to bring my previous dog Lowla here she became a regular patient exams, nail trims. Since Lowla was a good girl I'll buy her the tasty treats they had at from desk. Which was a reasonable price. I'm closing their prices are little reasonable for a suburban hospital. Read Less

We have been coming to Merrick for many years. We consider Dr. Hosek and ALL the staff our family. They have as much love and compassion for our dogs as we do. It truly is a pleasure working with the entire staff. I refer everyone I know who is looking for a vet to Merrick, as I know they will be in the best hands. They go above and beyond to help everyone! Read Less

We are so very happy with this place!! Everyone is so very kind and welcoming. Dr. Sullivan is so caring and takes her time with our beloved dog, Addie. We never feel rushed--always are asked if we have any questions before the appt. is over. We have confidence that our dog is receiving the best, thorough care. Highly recommend Merrick for the loving care of your pets!! Read Less

I LOVE Merrick! I came to them without my dog having been a previous patient of theirs, and they took him in without hesitation! They helped me obtain his records from his previous vet and are also great at communicating with his ophthalmologist and even filling his eye prescriptions! I wish we had been going to them all along! Great staff Read Less

Excellent staff all the way around. Dr. Hosek and the entire team have done a great job with my dog. From exams through administering of treatment as well as helping with issues that arise with senior pets. Everyone there is friendly, professional and a pleasure to interact with. Read Less

I like bringing Sheba here, I don't have to wait long, they take care of her and answer my questions. The waiting room is always clean and has a nice fresh scent. The ladies up front are warm and friendly. The technicians are also helpful in making Sheba feel at ease., before the doctor comes in to see her.This is the top of the line Animal Hospital. Read Less

The staff is friendly, but the long wait isn't acceptable. I understand there are others waiting, but when an appointment is made, 'especially early early morning,' the wait should be no longer than 10-minutes. Obviously, prices increased throughout the years, but costs are a tad high. I will continue bringing our guy, 'dog' to you. My other concern is shots. Our dogs was given shots we didn't request. He had bad reactions. I've explained this before, but still am asked, receive emails and standard mail about the same, said vaccinations. Yes, I would refer a friend to you, Merrick... Read Less

I love Merrick! Everyone from the receptionists, vet techs and doctors are caring and kind! Dr. Sullivan is amazing! My dogs are very comfortable with her, she is kind, caring and very knowledgeable ! I could not ask for a better place to take my pets! Thank you! Read Less

I love Merrick! The receptionists, vet techs and doctors are caring , knowledgeable and supportive. They remember us when we come in, treat my dog with loving care and help me with difficult decisions when necessary. I appreciated when one doctor suggested I see a specialist when the solution was out of his scope...it showed he cared more about the health of my dog than their business...impressive. I can't say enough kind words about Dr. Martin. She is simply the kindest veterinarian you can possibly imagine. She is also an amazing surgeon, a practical advisor and true professional. I found an angel when she became our caretaker. I am grateful for this place. Read Less

I only been taking my dogs here for a few months and I love the wonderful staff. One of my dogs had a terrible experience at his previous vet which is why I went to Merrick. They worked with my big boy to keep him calm and made it a positive experience for him. They were also able to fix his skin issues which the previous vet gave him meds that just made him terribly sick. Both my dogs get all the love and care they deserve there. I would definitely recommend going there. It's very reasonable and you can tell they are in it for the animals. Read Less

I find it surprising that I'm leaving a review for a veterinarian clinic, however during my time of sadness and having to put my animal down I couldn't have asked for a better place, compassion and staff to guide me through the process. I cannot thank you enough! Read Less

I had brought both my dogs here for years, and my last dog, Gus, sadly had to be put down in March 2015. I received not 1 call nor any contact after, other than a call to pick up his remains. This after spending months trying to help keep him alive via medication and an IV. Front office and tech staff were the best thing about this office. Read Less

In my experience, Dr. Hosek is a wonderful Vetrinarian! His bed side manner is filled with compassion, and his care is top notch. I can tell he really loves his profession by the way he handled my boy. My 6 year old Maltese had an extremely painful trip to the groomer. Although unintentional, his entire genital area was burned (razor burn). After voicing my concern to the shop, the owner felt awful and immediately got my boy an appointment to see Dr. Hosek. Dr. Hosek treated my pup with a tender hand, medicated him appropriately for pain, and put him on a topical treatment for the burn. Dr. Hosek also made himself available by phone for after hour emergencies (which I did utilize on a Sunday morning); he was pleasant and reassuring. He did not seem bothered by this early morning call on his day off. Again, another sign Dr.Hosek truly cares for his four legged friends. I believe the only good thing that happened out of this experience is finding our new Vetrinarian! My little guy is on the road to recovery, and feeling better everyday! Read Less

Dr. Hosek and the entire staff at Merrick Animal Hospital are all very caring and compassionate and they provide great care for my dog, Zoe. I am a first-time dog owner and they are always patient and answer any questions I have. Zoe got into some raisins and they immediately fit her in and took blood to find out if she would be OK. Thankfully, she was and even though they sometimes refer to her as "raisin dog," :) I couldn't be happier for choosing Merrick Animal Hospital and Dr. Hosek. Sincerely, Rosie and Zoe (woof!)Read Less

After being without a dog for about 10 years we adopted a rescue pup. We went with another practice at first who misdiagnosed a common skin condition in puppies. We started with Merrick Animal Hospital and Dr. Hosek on the recommendation of an acquaintance. The entire staff has been wonderful. They are reasonably priced and really do care about the health of our puppy. I would highly recommend this practice. Read Less

After bringing my animals there for 25 years, they wouldn't help my dog with a broken foot, because I wouldn't have money for a couple days. After 25 years of patronage. This is not the kind of "compassion" I want out of my animal care specialists. You've lost a lifelong customer today. Read Less

I have been coming here for 26 years and in all of that time I have never been dissatisfied once. My cat was badly hurt by a dog and I rushed him in there as an emergency and they took care of him immediately. This is the best veterinarian I have ever been to you and i have been to a few different ones. They really care about your pet and they do everything possible to save your cat or dog. 4 years ago i brought my cat in here too that was about to die and they saved my cat. Dr Hosek is awesome and I really respect him for doing everything to save my cat, god bless you and your staff. Read Less

The vets and assistants think cats are evil as they referred to my cat....when I confronted them they tried to deny it. My cat was screaming for its life we have never heard him scream that way. If you have a cat stay away. They mistreated mine and another vet proves it. Read Less

I am very unhappy with the service from this place. We moved and I was driving when needed, but between the distance and the staff's poor attitude, I found another vet. I was promised that when I called to have the heart guard refilled, they would honor the balance of our prescriptions. I even said to the receptionist that I was concerned that they would not, since I was going to another vet but she promised they would. Well...yesterday, when I ordered through Pet Meds, Merrick would NOT honor MY prescription. They said that since I changed vets, that they wouldn't authorize my prescriptions (as promised) and to call our new vet. I told them that they had given their word, that it is our prescription, that we paid for the office visit and testing to get this prescription and it's ours. They would not honor this or their word!! You are wrong and being vindictive because we switched vets and you wonder why we did?Read Less

The only problem I have with Merrick is that ALL the staff and Dr's are sooo wonderful that Zeus would rather stay at the office with them instead of going home with me.. ;)......I think the only reason he leaves is because he knows I will ALWAYS bring him back!!! Keep up the great work guys!!!<3 Read Less

The Merrick family is awesome! Everyone I met was so friendly & accommodating. They ABSOLUTELY loved all over Jaxx, which almost made him forget about the 3 shots he'd received. This was my first vet experience, as I'm a first time pet owner, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! Thanks again! Read Less
