About this business

HealthcareVeterinarians

Metropolitan Veterinary Center was established in 2012 by Dr. Kjerstin Jacobs. She founded the practice based on her observation that there was an unmet need for high-quality, reasonably priced medical and surgical care for Chicago’s beloved pets, not only on weekdays but on weekends and late evenings as well.

I brought my dog here on a Sunday with no scheduled appointment. I waited only 15 minutes until someone could see us. Everyone took a lot of time and care, and I appreciated both the courtesy of the front desk and the kindness of the doctors. I had been at another vet just two days earlier-- not till I went to Metrovet did they actually diagnose lymphoma. Probably my best vet experience, under sad circumstances.

I did a lot of research before selecting them. The vets are very experienced, have impressive backgrounds and experience and are extremely knowledgeable. The rates and hours cannot be beat and they have some of the major and important diagnostic equipment on site such as an ultrasound machine which most practices do not - this gives me tremendous peace of mind. I would recommend them to everyone who cares about their pets health. I am thrilled that my Capucine is one of their regular clients.

Metro Vet Center is a great vet center for so many reasons!! They are open when noone else is, EVERYONE (literally every single person in their office) is super friendly and most all, they don't rush you, they are patient and understanding of your questions. ALL doctors on staff are extremely warm and kind and very easy to talk to! I am also very interested in less invasive and natural options when available and they have always supported my choices and helped me in any way they could in really feeling comfortable.

This place is phenomenal! The vets and staff are warm and friendly, the place is super clean and professional, and my puppy loves to visit (maybe not so much after he says goodbye to his two best friends...). I highly recommend Metro Vet to anyone looking for a vet in Chicago, not just in the South Loop.

If you live in the South Loop this is, in my opinion, the best place to take your pet. I was drawn to Metro Vet because of their awesome hours of operation. The staff is friendly and efficient. I love the online portal where I can see dates for upcoming vaccines and tests. My dog has a special medical condition and so far they've handled her case with proficiency. I couldn't be happier with Metro Vet!

I brought my 6 year old dog here after he kept severely scratching and biting his legs. He had severe allergies and they took us in without an appointment and they were amazing! We also went after he was infested with fleas for months. They took care of the problem and took good care of him since he's s bit jumpy.

I have been taking my dogs (3 of them) to MetroVet since they opened. Drs. Jacobs and LaFave have both treated my dogs although we usually see Dr. LaFave. I know my dogs are in the best of hands when they go there. One of my dogs has an autoimmune disease which can present itself with different manifestations (symptoms) and can flare up for no reason. They quickly diagnosed and treated it which put her in remission. In addition, the staff, from the receptionist to the vet techs, are gentle, polite and knowledgeable. However,... read more

I know this review is late... but i finally got around to it... They are great here... I have 2 little shih tzus that i took in for their annual shots and examinations back in July 2014, and normally they are frightened of everything, but the Dr.'s and the medical staff are very welcoming and calmed my little doggies fears. They are thorough with their examinations and have a great bed-side manner, I have visited other vets in the area that aren't as calming, and am happy to say ... MetroVet is our go to place. I am happy wi... read more
