All of the other 5 star reviews say it all. The people at MVC were great to work with and friendly. My dog, Chico, didn't feel threatened nor did he try and run away from the vet tech/assistant (which usually happens) so I knew right at the start that we were in good hands! Something that bothers me about most vet centers are the horrible smells and the random animals crying/barking in the background (always makes Chico - and me - anxious) but there was NO wet dog or kennel smell at all! MVC was very clean considering the hi... read more

I was nervous about getting my small dog's teeth cleaned since I know 2 people whose dogs didn't survive the anesthesia (both were out of state). The vet here reassured me that they always do pre-op blood work so there are no surprises and the anesthesia will be safe (my 2 friends didn't get blood work done). So I crossed my fingers took my dog in. The vet knew I was nervous, and called me after the cleaning to say all went well. Fresh breath for everyone to enjoy! I like this vet office because they have crazy long hours an... read more

I am new to the Chicago area and found Metropolitan based on other yelp reviews. All I can say is that they have made our move extremely easy to transition into the area. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and explain everything in detail which helps me understand the issues. They are quick to respond and send email follow ups which are helpful and convenient. The staff is always welcoming and it is a great overall experience. I've had a couple emergency appointments as well and they always have time to pencil us in.

We found this place when something happened that had us in desperate search for a new vet in our new neighborhood on no notice. We picked this place based on reviews and availability, but kept coming because it turned out to be a place we loved! Both docs that we have seen have been amazing. Very kind, caring, eady to talk to, and genuine. I have absolutely no anxiety bringing our pup here or even leaving him when its necessary. I have absolute confidence that he is well taken care of while hes there. And since hes got quite... read more

The doctors and staff at Metropolitan are courteous and professional. I first sought out their services 2 years ago during the weekend because my dog was ill. My regular vet at the time was closed for the weekend. The staff is caring and knowledgeable. My biggest compliment is they are patient and thorough. The experience for me and my pet was great. Needless to say, I am happy to have Metropolitan as part of my pet's life. They will continue to be my veterinary service from now on! Recently, I needed my dog's updated shot r... read more

A wonderful place for your pet. I moved to Chicago a couple of years ago and any time my pooch has an ailment, I go in to their office. She has had a couple cases of giardia, an infected dewclaw and some irritation in her ears, and regardless of the issue, MVC sees us right away, treats the issue and within a day, my dog is back to normal. We have seen both Dr. Jacobs and Dr. LaFave. Both the vets and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and caring towards me and my pooch--they remember her name as soon as we walk in! Plus,... read more

they've been our vet for the two years I've had my lil guy, and we are super happy. when i was a new pet parent, they were so so helpful and patient with my many questions, and worry wart tendencies! they are totally on top of the reminders for when he's due for shots, etc and their website access is convenient too. everyone there is pleasant and professional... always as happy to see them as they are to see all the animals! coming here is a no brainer :)

Metro Vet is THE best. To be fair, I got my first pet and dog last year - a puppy beagle mix - but i am confident there could not be a better vet. There are a couple of walking distance options for vets to where I am in the South Loop, including Metro Vet, as well as many others within a short drive. I initially picked Metro Vet because their hours were unreal. To this day, I don't quite understand how they do it unless they live in that building, but I have made good use of their weekend and evening hours many times. Dr. La... read more

Took great care and caution with my baby kitten. Definitely convenient hours and compassionate vets and techs. The followed up after the first night of treating him and held on to him the following day after work. I recommend to anyone in the area.
