About
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.

Love this place.
Prices are always fair and they also tailor treatment to what will work for you and the pet.I cheated by going to another place and the treatment was terrible so I switched back to this place and will be sticking to it I don't mind the extra drive or commute

During the past fourteen years of mothering my beautiful sophisticated glamorous puggle Gwendolyn, I encountered many doctors for Gwendolyn's care. But it took until finding Dr. Balser of Metropolitan Veterinary Center to recognise the perfect recipe of intelligence, kindness, intuitiveness, and loveliness. When Gwendolyn and I moved to Chicago three years ago, it was my first objective to find a holistic-minded veterinarian. Dr. Balser was suggested by the AHVMA. During the first examination of my Gwendolyn, the manner in which Dr. Balser spoke to me indicated a mutual respect and understanding for each other's roles in Gwendolyn's life. We specifically discussed, at that initial exam, a new bump which had appeared on Gwendolyn's body. When considering a fine needle aspirate of it, she stated, "You best know Gwendolyn. If this is behaving like the other benign masses, then let's leave it alone." (paraphrased from my memory). I immediately felt as though I could trust Dr. Balser and maintained this positioning throughout all future interactions. Fast forward another three years, and suddenly, in response to newfounded odd behaviours, I knew that Gwendolyn harvested a tumor that needed removed from her body. Despite having a full schedule, Dr. Balser and her magnificent team pushed in overdrive to examine and to operate immediately. Dr. Balser even so much as pushed the pathologist for a more rapid review of the extracted tumor's cells so that I could quickly create a holistic plan to manage what was "the most aggressive tumor" on which she had ever operated. Because of Dr. Balser and team, I was gifted with one additional month with my princess who, just one month prior to the surgery, was walking at a jubilant five to seven miles daily. She behaved as my little puppy until the very end, and my heart shall forever be grateful to Dr. Balser and team for their care and love of my Gwendolyn. Bottom line is that I like Dr. Balser. I trust Dr. Balser. I respect Dr. Balser. She is a very fine doctor and human being. And her staff is outstanding. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
