Oz Animal Hospital Lincoln Park

Everyone was very kind and helpful. I came in very stressed and but the service and care I got for my cat was so efficient and high quality that both me and my cat left feeling a lot better! Also I needed some documents for my insurance claim and they were very quick, thorough and helpful. Highly recommend!

Such a positive experience! I really felt that they cared about my pet and his health. Much more personal than many vets I’ve tried. The vet was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in addressing all the my concerns. The vet tech was so gentle and caring when it came to handling my cat.

Friendly, caring staff; appreciate placement in a cat-friendly room; the vet (Dr. Maria Stogioglou) has an excellent grasp of my cat's medical history and previous health issues and is enthusiastic about caring for him.

I recently had an experience with Oz Animal Hospital that I felt was unfair and not well handled, but I’m writing this review because Kyle the COO went above and beyond to remedy the situation and earn back my trust and business. Essentially, I had been quoted one price for a service and then was charged a lot more. Initially when I called to dispute the situation I was told I misunderstood what was going on. Eventually Kyle, the COO reached out to me and was deeply apologetic. He explained what happened on their end, admitted they had misquoted me in the first place, and offered me a full refund. After our conversation I really felt they valued me as a long-time customer, and had done the right thing to earn my trust back. Oz is a local family owned vet - which is becoming rarer and rarer these days. I appreciate their honesty in what was a tricky situation, and their willingness to make things right. That is the sign of a good business, and I plan to remain a client because of it.

I strongly discourage anyone from bringing their pet to this clinic. I had been a periodic client for about six months, but a recent emergency with my cat exposed serious flaws in their communication and overall care. While initial testing was prompt and thorough, everything fell apart after that. Despite spending over $1,000, we had almost no direct contact with the veterinarian. When significant abdominal fluid was discovered on ultrasound, we were told it would cost $500 to analyze a sample. I asked to speak with the vet before deciding, just to understand the rationale, but was told the vet “would have no idea” and couldn’t offer any insight. As a physician myself, I understand diagnostic uncertainty, but this level of opacity was unacceptable. I wasn’t demanding immediate access to the vet, just a basic professional discussion before authorizing a costly test. Instead, I was pressured and made to feel like a bad pet owner for hesitating. When I became emotional, the clinic manager was condescending and continued to push for payment rather than showing any compassion. The vet from this clinic never even contacted us directly that day. Ultimately, we transferred our cat to a specialty emergency hospital, where he received the care he needed. While their clinical skills may be adequate, the lack of empathy and communication was appalling. I will never return. This experience has only strengthened my commitment to treating patients and their families with respect and transparency, something this clinic clearly lacks.
