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 have been coming here for about 6 months now and so far I have had all great experiences with the hospital and doctors. Everyone is very knowledgeable and extremely nice and helpful. I had both my older dogs (age 9 and age 14) put under to get their teeth cleaned just recently and they came out great! Also, at different times, both my dogs had infections (one in the mouth and one in the liver) and the doctors gave them medicine that worked to heal their infections. The front desk is always super nice and helpful and they ... read more
I took my dog Lizzie to Metrovet because I was worried she had a UTI. It was a Sunday afternoon and I figured I would have to take her to the Emergency Vet, but luckily I remembered that Metrovet was open. I called and the receptionist was very kind, she scheduled the appointment for later that evening. The vets office was very clean, the staff extremely friendly and the vets were very knowledgeable. Even though I live about 7 miles north of their facility, I have made them my dog's vet. We had been to other vet's offices, b... read more
I'm very happy to have a new vet 2 blocks from my house with such fantastic hours. It's a very spacious office with super friendly gracious staff. The only drawback I foresee is that it seems to cater to a greater number of dogs than cats. I was the only cat in the waiting area. They have an area in the waiting room that it for us kitty parents, but I didn't realize that until I was about to leave. There were 4 dogs in the lobby when I was there, and I felt a bit bad for my poor guy, who let out a few growls. I thought the ... read more
When we became new pet parents, we weren't sure when to take our Brutus, our rescued Boston Terrier, for his regular care. We searched yelp and decided to take a chance with MetroVet because of all the great reviews and we were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and the office was clean and comfortable--none of that scary bleach and ammonia smell. The vet June Lefave was great! She examined our little one carefully and thoroughly, listening to our concerns and advising us on his care. He ended up having an ear infectio... read more
As a professional dog trainer I have worked with many, many vets over the past 16 years. Hands down Dr. Jacobs and her staff are above and beyond the most comprehensive and compassionate I have yet to encounter. I have switched all of my dogs over to Metropolitan Vet and refer our clients there as well. I trust the doctors and staff with anything and everything that has to do with our dogs. Their hours you can't beat - from crack of dawn till way after dusk - there is never a reason they can't see you. They are prompt and al... read more
Great customer service! Our vet doctor was very polite and professional. I would highly recommend this place!
Absolutely love Dr. LaFave! She saved my cat Chainsaw when we didn't think he had a chance! The office is well organized, and the staff are extremely courteous! Seriously I couldn't ask for anything more in a vet's office! Oh, MOST IMPORTANT about the wait time, They are always on time! Love the office and I recommend it to everyone!!
Shy Lucia broke her leg playing in our breeders backyard 3 weeks ago. It was plated and she was healing really well until I decided to go to a more convenient vet in Chicago (Metropolitan Vet Center) instead of my trusted vet out in the country (Animal Hospital of Gurnee). The vet at Metro gave her a huge wrap, which covered her toes... And also charge $140 for it (included a mandatory "checkup"). She started tearing it up over the next two days so made the trek out to the country to have it changed again. There was swelling... read more
I have done lots of search to find a reputable vet for my new puppy. I'm so glad to find Metropolitan veterinary center. All staff members are very friendly and kind. Dr.Lafave took a good care of the puppy and provided with all information I needed. Most importantly, they really looked like pet lovers and that is important part. I would recommend this for anyone.
