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.

Not the place to come for cat care. Brought in my sick kitten and after several visits and a few hundred dollars spent, she was still sick. Took her to another vet and right away they said she had an ear infection. They prescribed some ear drops and she was much better in no time. Too bad my little kitten had to suffer as long as she did before getting the correct diagnosis.

Just don't. They treat you like family at first and then tell you you're trash. And for the record I paid every single bill to the clinic on time, and this was was surgeries, treatments the works. I've taken my pets to MVC, since the clinic first open. I recently recommended the clinic to my mother when her dog was diagnosed with cancer and he was treated at MVC. I called the clinic when my dog was having an allergic reaction the receptionist was absolutely horrible she was unprofessional,poorly spoken, disorganized the en... read more

These folks are the best in the business. We took our French Bulldog (Frank) to Metro Vets for nearly his entire (12 years!) life. Every time we brought Frank in for a check up or nail trim or even for something more serious like back pain, we were treated like family. They see a LOT of pets but somehow always manage to make a personal connection with you and your pet. From the time Frank was a puppy until the time we had to put him down a couple of months ago, Metro Vets was always there for us. They do a fantastic job of a... read more

The best vets in Chicago! The level of care given by every member of staff is just incredible! The front desk is managed by people so lovely that any anxiety you have melts the moment they great you. The techs are delightful, I had the pleasure of speaking with Pam and she was so reassuring and made sure I didn't have any unanswered questions. Dr. Sahar treated my cat and communicated clearly every step of the way. She even made a point of talking to me about how much she liked my cat! I will be their client forever!

My dog Matcha and I recently moved to Chicago from NYC where we had an amazing vet, and right after we moved, Matcha got some sort of vulvar/vaginal infection. Not knowing which vet to go to, we went to the first one downtown that could squeeze us in. Three months, countless antibiotics and no definitive diagnosis later, Matcha was still not cured and I was feeling super depressed about the quality of vet care in Chicago. When the vet told us to do yet another round of antibiotics I decided it was time to get a second opinio... read more

This place used to have/still has some amazing doctors. However, service has been terrible lately, and getting worse. The place is chronically understaffed. The staff refuses to perform anything outside of very overpriced regular visits/administer shots. They absolutely unsuitable as a primary care provider to an active pet, where some amount of irregular/on demand care is required. Avoid if you can.

Brought 2 senior cats here (at different times) one 17 years old, the other 19 years old. BOTH CATS were DEAD in 24 hours! BOTH CATS were lively and receptive before their visit. It pains me to think what they did behind closed doors to our babies. They gouged us for money as much as they could; preying on our emotional connection and commitment to our family members. Our experiences included unfilled prescriptions upon arrival confirmed before we were enroute. Inner office miscommunication and even cutting one of our cats d... read more

I tried scheduling an appointment for a surgery consultation by filling out the request appointment form on their website. It prompts you to explain the reason for your visit, so I did in detail and when the business responded back they said "unfortunately we can't give you an estimate via email you would need to schedule an appointment" at this point I'm questioning the intelligence of the staff because the email they were responding to was my appointment request. I said I understood and I was trying to set up an appointmen... read more
