Posted : 7/12/2010 Comments : I knew something wasn't quite right with my 7 yo cat, Mooch. He was lethargic and vomiting. I called North Center because my boyfriend Chris used them many years ago for his cat Polly. I am so glad I did. The care and efficiency with which Mooch was handled was phenomenal! I was so pleased with Dr. Castillo's care of Mooch and the staff there that Dr. Castillo will be our regular Vet to all of our furry friends! We have 6 cats! God bless this hospital for taking care of my Moochers, he is doing much better and he is back to being the awesome cat he has always been!

Comments : We've been taking our pets to NCAH since 1987. Our beloved spainel "Sadie" was first cared for by Dr. Bruno who saved her from a bout with Parvo when she was just 12 weeks old. Dr. Castillo took care of "Sadie" for many years and was the one who helped us say goodbye to her at the age of 17. Our cat "Mau-Mau" was a stray who adopted "us"~ he was diagnoised with FIV, but lived a long, happy, healthy life thanks to NCAH. We just adopted a funny, little pup names "Trix" and we know that she too will have the best of care for many, many years to come. Thank you NCAH!

Comments : I've been bringing my dog Ozzy here for a year and a half, ever since we adopted him. So, when our newly sdopted second dog was hit by a car, I rushed her over. Even though they hadn't seen Layla before, Dr. Locher and the entire staff were fantastic. They took great care of her (and me - I was a mess) and were very thorough in making sure she was okay. She came home at the end of the day with bumps and bruises, but luckily nothing more serious. I'm so glad we chose North Center Animal Hospital as our vet, and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Posted : 5/6/2010 Comments : My 7 yr old cat has been struggling with struvite urinary crystals, intermittent interstitial cystitis, chronic constipation, and obesity. Dr. Locher has been treating her as of late and really put a big effort into researching and collaborating with peers and specialists to find a comprehensive, more holistic, and long lived approach to treating her, maximizing her quality of life. She is a much happier, regular, and lighter kitty who got her sparkle back!!! I really appreciate this unique approach to her condition because it is exactly how I expect medicine to be practiced on me: holistic. All of the DVMs at North Center are fantastic, but Dr. Locher's unique approach makes me feel that North Center stands out from the crowd. Thank you so much!

Comments : Dr. Castillo saved my 2 year old cat, Kira, who had fatty liver disease. She was put on a feeding tube and eventually started eating on her own (nori was the first thing the ate). She is now 13 and is as healthy as can be. I cannot thank Dr. Castillo enough.

Comments : Our family has been involved with NCAH for many years, which I think is a testimony to the wonderful care provided.Our most recent visit,with our beloved Schnauzer,Pfeffer,who was extremely sick, was our most difficult visit(on a personal level.)The entire Staff could not have been more understanding, caring and professional.After an extensive exam and tests, it was determined that although Pfeffer had lived a healthy,long life, his health had declined drastically. Amidst the roller coaster of emotions, we were blessed and very fortunate that Dr.Duke was by our side to guide us,answer our questions and to reassure us Pfeffer would be at peace. She was so patient and understanding, allowing us time as needed, and most importantly, treating our beloved friend as if he were her very own. Our family is forever grateful to Dr. Duke and the NCAH Staff.

Posted : 11/10/2008 Comments : Great place. I needed a reasonably priced vet with great service. I found it here. I cannot say enough about the staff. They are fantastic and truly care about animals. If you are new to Chicago or have a new pet, I cannot recommend this place enough.

Posted : 1/26/2008 Comments : For over thirty years NCAH has been our vet. Through 3 cats and 5 dogs they have given the best and most compasionate care to our critters and to us. When the time comes to put down a pet the entire staff feel has felt our pain and responded with comfort and understanding.
We now have a new puppy, Iris, and we know the Vets and Staff will treat her as if she were they're on pet, they're own family.

Comments : I cannot sing the praises of the staff of NCAH loud enough. Dr. Castillo saved our Casey's life when there was no clear-cut reason for his illness. We were coming in on a weekly basis for a long time and the staff treated Casey like he was their own pet. Without fail, the staff was always courteous and compassionate to our animals and to us.
Thank you for taking such great care of Casey (and Ziggy, too!)

Comments : I feel I can count on all of the NCAH vets to help me keep my cat, Jack, in the best of health and educate me along the way. Jack is on a high-protein food now...and loving it. Thank you all!

Comments : I've been bringing my cats to NCAH since 2004, and only wish I'd started sooner. The vets and staff have helped me through the final care and putting to sleep of my two beloved elderly cats (within three months of each other!). Now Dr. Burkhardt and Dr. Heinbuch care for my two "new" cats. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I'm very pleased with the care and concern shown by all at NCAH!

The staff and vets are professional, kind, efficient, understanding, enthusiastic, caring and knowledgeable. I've brought all three of my precious canine family members to NCAH and they've been cared for, treated and appreciated. We've always felt like part of the NCAH family. Three cheers for all of you: Arf! Arf! Arf!

Comments : What can I say about North Center? We love the staff, the doctors, everyone! Our older cat, Alex, practically lived at North Center until we put him down 3 years ago (his picture is still on Dr. Burkhart's desk) on a day when everyone from the receptionists to the vet assistants came in to say their good-byes. Now we usually only come in for a check-up for our cat, Kaycee and our black lab/Great Dane, Max. Well, not exactly...
Max has been in and out four times in the last two weeks due to surgery, rechecks and sucture removal. Each time, he has been accompanied by his non-furry 1 year old brother, Chase. The staff is so wonderful by helping me with Max, so I can carry the baby. Chase loves going to his doggie's doctor.
I couldn't imagine any other place for my furry babies. As much as I love our pediatrician, I truly wish Dr. Burkhart saw humans, too!

Comments : I took my dog for his shots at a PETCO last week and they could not complete everything needed. It was an absolute nightmare for my little buddy. I know he need his heartworm test and I wanted him to be microchipped because he is the coolest dog and I don't want to lose him, so I researched Animal Hospitals and found this one. They were absolutely awesome with my dog. They were very gentle with him and very loving, as if he was one of their own. They were very patient with me as well, considering I had a ton of a questions. Buddy happily went with Dr. Burkhart and even gave her and the staff "kisses" when he was done. They turned a horrible experience into a great one. Thank you!
