Wicker Park Veterinary Clinic

Today was our 1^st appointment at WPVC, and this experience could not have been better. My dog was calmer than I have seen her in years at a vet. She was not made to get on a table for the exam, which has always been stressful for her. When bringing up my concerns during the appointment, the vet told me «I don’t see any point in that and don’t want to run up your bill». I appreciate the honesty and the concern for my finances, I’ve been to several vets over the years and it seems like their only purpose is to run up my bill. We also got in on time without a wait, that has never happened to me at any vet before. As long as I live in Chicago I will be coming to this vet AND telling my friend how wonderful my experience here was.

After a quick scare with one of my older male cats I looked for a local vet, I trusted the other reviews and booked an appointment with Dr. Cohen. My cat has crystals in his urine and Dr. Cohen did a very thorough job describing the pricing and the options we had for Bo. A few months later I ended up having one of his teeth pulled and once again Dr. Cohen was very thorough and ended up personally calling me after the procedure. I stop by once a month or so to pick up specialty food, great free parking and next to the division blue line stop. The people at the front desk are also very helpful and always leave me feeling comfortable and happy. So if you are looking for a trusting friendly atmosphere in a vet and their office then I highly recommend giving them a call for your next check up.

Probably the most pleasant professional team I have ever dealt with. They are able to perfectly blend education, compassion, and professionalism when dealing with my pets. The front desk is always happy to help, and are a fun crew. Dr. Cohen & Mowry both are a pleasure to deal with, and are very explanatory, yet concise. I highly recommend this place! For both my Cat & Dog, they have been tremendous.

They are great. They always call to check up to see how my precious baby is doing after her shots or after a visit for being sick. They are so gentle and kind. I highly recommend them.

I was very impressed with how thorough they were. I recently adopted a special needs dog and they found her condition to be even worse than I was told. They were honest with me about when to act and see a specialist and were willing to give me their personal opinions on more difficult matters. Not once did I feel the least bit rushed, but my wait time was still minimal. They even cut her nails and gave me a bag of treats at no charge. They went above and beyond and answered all my questions.

They are so nice, professional and helpful! This is the best veterinary clinic in all of Chicago! I’ll never take my pets anywhere else!

Dr Mowry is great; she is so patient and gentle with my dog and is very thorough. After the appointment, she always sticks around and answers any questions we have. I never feel rushed there. She is also responsive and helpful over email!
Facilities are clean, and the staff are really friendly and professional. Prices are also very reasonable. Couldn’t ask for more.

I found this clinic on Unilocal and I couldn’t be happier!!! I needed to neuter my kitty Tito and I went on the research. Usually I don’t trust Unilocal as much, but this time it every review was true. We made an appointment a week in advance, witch, I think, is short. Dr. Tricia Mullin is the nicest doctor ever! She was patient not because we are annoying, but we were really scared :) I dropped off the kitty in the morning, doctor called me at 11 am said that he was fine and waking up from anesthesia and we can pick him up at 2pm. I came in at 3 my kitty was fed already, they looked after him :) He seemed fine even though he was a little loopy :)
Doctor also gave us some pain medicine to go home with. Over all it was great experience!!! For $ 230 in the city!!! I personally think they went above and beyond my expectations! I suggest people take their pets there for a great care :)

I’ve been bringing my dog here for three years now and I can’t say enough good things about this place. It is conveniently located, has a free parking lot, and and everyone at the office is extremely friendly and understanding. Dr. Cohen is my usual doctor and he is fantastic. I really appreciate his kind candor and compassionate demeanor. And, unlike every other vet I’ve encountered, he does not try to charge me for a million procedures and then present me with a surprise bill at the end of the visit. Instead, he always explains everything very clearly and honestly and he lets me know what tests and procedures are a priority and how much everything will cost. I have an elderly dog and Dr. Cohen and the other vets I’ve seen at Wicker Park Vet always take her age into consideration when suggesting treatments and procedures, whereas it seems some vets are just anxious to do every test at once in an effort to rack up a hefty invoice. I’ve also convinced several friends to come here and they have all loved it as well. If you live in Wicker Park and have a pet, this is the place to take your animal.

We love Wicker Park Vet! My dogs Dinosaur (Irish Wolfhound) and Roar (Maltese) always have some sort of issue going on and it is always easy to get an appointment or get a quick prescription. The receptionists are always pleasant and quick to get back to you if need be. We primarily see Dr. Mowry and think she’s wonderful. I can be a little nuts about Dinosaur because he has so many allergy issues but she is always helpful and quick to respond to emails. I can not recommend WPVC enough!

Having moved throughout the city I have experience with numerous vets and Wicker Park Vet Clinic is by far the best experience I’ve had to date.
We started using this vet randomly when my dog was bitten and our regular vet couldn’t see him the same day. WPVC said they had no appointments available, but when I explained what happened they had us come in during the vet’s lunch hour. We brought him in and Dr. Cohen was great with him and then did a great job explaining everything to us.
Not too long after that our dog got sick and everyone at WPVC was amazing. We had been going to them for less than a year, but they treated our dog like he was part of their family. We were seeing Dr. Mowry by this time and she took time to talk to us multiple times a week and the few times we didn’t call with questions, she called us to see how he was doing.
I can’t recommend this location enough. Dr. Cohen, Dr. Mowry and the rest of the staff were great.

I went to this vet on a recommendation from friends and have had great experiences. My dog loves going there and Dr. Mowery is great. She is a very thorough vet, caring, understanding, and really great at explaining things. They often call to follow up and check on my pup after her appointments. Wonderful staff, great location with parking, clean.

We take both of our dogs here, and we really like them. The location is convenient, and the staff are so nice and helpful. Just like any other vet, they will try to upsell you to buy things you don’t really need, but it’s easy enough to «just say no». We see Dr. Mowery, and she is great!

I have only been in Chicago for a short while but my dachshund Molly made very quick work of getting some kind of stomach bug. The vet and techs were great with her, took such good care of her and explained to me what to do when I got home with her medicines and her new food. Molly is doing great! So glad this vet is so close to where I live and they make time to work you in on short notice.

I followed Dr. Cohen from another vet and I don’t regret it. He has been nothing short of a miracle in dealing with my pets illnesses. He has cared for four of my seniors and has always been caring and compassionate. He has taken care of my younger pets by letting me pick and choose optional services and always giving me prices. I never feel gouged at WPVC, I feel like I get good value for the money.
Dr. Cohen has been my family vet for about 8 years now, and I can’t imagine going to any other doctor. I travel from Rogers Park all the way down to Wicker Park just to see him. He’s worth the trip.
If you’re looking for an honest vet, with a pleasant staff, with a parking lot, check out WPVC. You’ll be happy you put your trust in them.

The doctor and staff are so good with my kitty! He’s never too upset about his appointments there, and after seeing his old vet, he’d slink around for days. They go out of their way for you when you need them, and they make your life easier with electronic reminders and appointments.

We have a six month old Goldendoodle and have been taking her here since she came home at 8 weeks old. We’ve had appointments with Dr. Cohen and Dr. Mowery — both are very pleasant and take the time to answer all of our questions.
Overall, Wicker Park Vet is a clean office, the front desk staff is very helpful & relay messages to the doctors in a timely manner, and the doctors provide ample information and suggestions. I also really like that they send email reminders about when your dog needs to come in next. This makes my life easier, especially because they need to go in so often as puppies!

I called trying to make an urgent appointment for a sick cat, and the woman i spoke with on the phone was unehlpful and rude. She offered one appointment time, 30 minutes from when I called, and said they’d be unable to take her any later in the day. Their website it states they are available for emergency visits. I then asked her to recommend an animal clinic that would be open later, to which she responded «well, I doubt you’ll find anyone who is open later than us.» Super helpful, thanks!
If your animals get sick at a convenient time for this clinic, I’m sure they’re great.

We love Wicker Park Vet!
Dr. Mowry is SO kind and pleasant, as are all of the staff.
Sailor was completely back to normal the next day after getting neutered. i definitely took it way harder than he did!
thank you for always taking such great care of him!

I got a puppy from a Chicago-​based rescue organization, and we started out at WPVC because of the other great reviews here and the proximity to my home in Wicker Park. As a first time dog-​owner, I didn’t know what to expect from the vet appt, but I was immediately put at ease by the wonderful front desk staff, the assistant who helped to weight my puppy, and then finally Dr. Laura Mowry. After our visit, Dr. Mowry called to check-​in on us and make sure our first visit went well.
Since then, I’ve been in and out of the vet because of our puppy’s gastro-​intestinal problems. She’s had tapeworms, some other mysterious stomach illness, and giardia. Through it all, WPVC has been extremely helpful. They don’t always require that I make an appointment — instead, they answer many of my questions over the phone. They’re so responsive to all my questions and concerns. It just puts my mind at ease, even as I feel overwhelmed with some of the puppy’s health problems.
I would recommend WPVC to anyone who loves their pet. I’ve heard that it’s expensive compared to some other vets, but for me, it seems so great, I can’t imagine going anywhere else for a few bucks less.
