Just started taking my two cats and dog here and so far so good. The hours are convenient and the staff is personable. One of my cats and dog are currently being treated for what was initially thought to be ringworm but Dr. Dina called and said that since the skin culture came back negative for ringworm, she is working on thinking of other ways to treat this mysterious fungal infection. I like that she's trying to find the best solution to this annoying problem. Read Less

The doctors there are also top notch. They listen to our concerns and also give us their best opinion as to how to keep our fur babies healthy. We also use their boarding services for one of our cats. When we pick her up they always provide us with a report of how she was behavior wise and if she has had her medicine or not for the day. We couldn’t be more pleased with the Oak Park Animal Hospital and will continue to use them and recommend them. Read Less

How much do I love Dr. D. and the crew, let me count the ways. I first started going to OPAH a number of years ago when I adopted and required services for my ferret, Sheridan. They were wonderful with him and provided so much knowledge and support. When it came his time to expire, the personnel handled everything and were all very sad, as he had become a part of their family as well.
More recently, I have taken one of my cats and a new acquired Guinea pig to see Doctor D. As always...extremely knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating to all of our needs.

Luckily, the Oak Park Animal Hospital had a space available and only requested that she come in for a quick physical and vaccination review before confirming her for boarding...nothing like the ridiculous hoops some of these boarding facilities make you jump through.When I arrived for my appointment everyone I spoke with was so kind and professional. Rarely has Winnie (my dog) received such love from the staff at a vet's, groomer's or boarding facility! They checked her out for a very reasonable fee, updated one of her vaccinations that was going to need a booster in a few weeks to save me a trip to my normal vet and had her booked for boarding within a half an hour.
