Dr. Castillo and the entire team at North Center Animal Hospital has gone above and beyond to make my pup, Rodeo, and me feel supported and well cared for.

Dr. Castillo and the entire team at North Center Animal Hospital has gone above and beyond to make my pup, Rodeo, and me feel supported and well cared for. In the first couple weeks of having my puppy, before we were able to get in with our original vet, she developed some digestive distress (to put it lightly) and her original vet was incredibly unhelpful. My friend recommended NCAH and they got us in immediately and made us feel right at home. If I call with questions, even if I feel I'm being just a little paranoid, they make me feel sane and heard. (Classic new dog-mom concerns!) I can't express how grateful I am that we switched and found a home with NCAH. I give them 5 stars, Rodeo gives them 5 woofs. - read less

We were in quite the perfect storm with our dog not feeling well a couple days before we were headed for vacation. NCAH was not our vet at the time, and we were calling around for anyone that had appointments available. Not only did they generously squeeze us in for an appointment that very day, but they processed our test results and sent us home with the necessary prescription within 2 hours of … + read more

NCAH was so kind and friendly and took time to speak with us at length and make our dog feel comfortable. Fantastic experience. - read less

These guys really are the best. I've been up for almost a full 48 hours with a sick dog so I've been pretty irritable and impatient, but they've been so kind and understanding the entire time. They respond quickly and handle my anxiety filled dog so well every time even though I know he can be incredibly difficult. If you want really kind and understanding doctors and staff look no further.

Have used them for nearly 21 years now (2 dogs). They’ve always been terrific and have kept that up during COVID - safe, efficient and, most importantly, providing great care to out dog.

Thankful for this great clinic who took care of my black lab when she had a sudden GI blockage. What ended up being a life threatening situation ended very well. The doctors were awesome and even available by instant message and email as I was SO nervous when my dog first came home. Since then she's made a full recovery and I am so thankful!

I've been to several vets in Chicago, and North Center Animal Hospital exceeds them all.

North Center Animal Hospital is the best. I have been bringing my dogs and cats here for over 35 years and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. All the vets are great - friendly, thorough, gentle with scared pets, highly competent and willing to explain and listen. The support staff are excellent as well.

I had a great experience, knocking a star off because I thought they should be more transparent about costs. Our bill was higher than I expected and I would have liked an estimate of costs. Our old vet always let us know estimated costs before our visit and before any additional exam or treatment was done.

My dog, my first dog ever and my pride and joy, started going to NCAH when she was 10 weeks old. Through a traumatic spinal cord accident, dental work, and routine dog checkups and procedures, NCAH was always my go to place. Between their professionalism, down to earth nature, general knowledge, and of course, love for animals, I’ve always been super impressed and happy with them. After 8 years,… + read more
My dog, my first dog ever and my pride and joy, started going to NCAH when she was 10 weeks old. Through a traumatic spinal cord accident, dental work, and routine dog checkups and procedures, NCAH was always my go to place. Between their professionalism, down to earth nature, general knowledge, and of course, love for animals, I’ve always been super impressed and happy with them. After 8 years, my family moved out of chicago and I had the sad realization I would have to find another vet. After the first few visits with this new vet, I didn’t get the impression I was being treated with the same care that I had with NCAH. After I suspected I was being squeezed for some money after two rounds of blood work, I contacted the wonderful team at NCAH for a e-second opinion. Without hesitation, even though my dog was no longer a patient there, Dr Castillo took the time on a busy Saturday to review her bloodwork and call me with a detailed explanation of what he was seeing and his suggested course of action. I trust him and his opinion and honestly I was blown away with his generosity and genuine care for my dog. I still am just in awe at how amazing this group of Veterinarians are. If you live in the city and are looking for a vet, do not hesitate at going to NCAH! - read less

I have been going to North Center Animal Hospital since my dog was 10 weeks old and now he is 13. They take such good care of him and Doctor’s and staff go the extra mile for all of their customers. He has had a few health issues recently and Dr. Castillo recommended me to another hospital for more extensive testing and so I could get the answers I needed. He also recently removed mast cell tumor which I was terrified of putting him under due to his age. Dr. Castillo helped me understand the right procedure that was needed to effectively remove it and ensure my dog was monitored closely throughout the surgery. Samson came through surgery with no complications. Thanks again for all of your great service over the years and always putting animals health and well being first! - read less

My dog was bit by another dog and even though they were booked for the next few days, North Center Animal Hospital was able to see her and make sure everything was okay. They were very professional and quick.
