Oz Animal Hospital Rogers Park

I take my two dogs and two cats to Oz in Rogers Park. It’s so convenient and the staff are incredibly sweet and patient. It’s never too busy or crowded in the waiting room. Love this place!

The short review: my baby girl is now gone, and Oz Animal Hospital and MedVet did nothing to help her. Two weeks ago, I took my cat to Oz Animal Hospital to see Dr. Bruner for what I thought was an ear infection. Instead, I was told she had a “mass” with a secondary infection. A tissue sample was taken and sent to pathology. We were sent home with antibiotic ear drops intended for dogs (used off-label on my cat) and told we’d need to see a surgeon or dermatologist. The biopsy came back inconclusive because it was dead tissue. Meanwhile, those drops began affecting her inner ear almost immediately. Within three days, my sweet girl was losing her balance and acting completely unlike herself. I then went to MedVet Chicago to see Dr. Wyatt, hoping for urgent care. He examined her and admitted he wasn’t sure there was even a mass, but his recommendation? A series of tests and surgery totaling $11,000. I stopped him and said, “No one has treated the infection. Can we please start there?” I requested a bacterial culture and an antibiotic injection. He took the culture but refused the injection, saying systemic antibiotics aren’t typically effective for ear infections and that topical treatment would be better. He said he would call with results. Two days later, he called with preliminary results and said he’d call again five days later (after Labor Day) with the full report and a treatment plan to get us started while we waited to get into a dermatologist elsewhere (earliest was October 8). I asked again for an antibiotic injection, and again, I was told to wait. Meanwhile, my cat was declining rapidly. When her condition worsened, I called Oz Animal Hospital for help. None of their three locations could see her. I asked if she could at least get an antibiotic injection, and they told me to contact MedVet. So between two supposedly reputable veterinary providers, I was told to wait, to go elsewhere, and to do nothing while my baby’s life slipped away. Yesterday, she passed away in my arms. And it didn’t have to happen. What did I learn? That Oz Animal Hospital and MedVet Chicago failed my cat at every step. No urgency. No compassion. No basic care. Just expensive recommendations and passing the responsibility back and forth. If you value your pet’s life, please do not trust these clinics. Ask hard questions. Demand action. Don’t assume these people will do what’s right for your pet. They didn’t for mine.

I’ve been going to Oz for a few years now with my cats, but recently had to see them when my cat, Oliver, needed help. Dr Abigail and Marissa (I’m so sorry, I don’t know their last names) were so beyond kind and helped me make arguably one of the hardest decisions of my life. Because I spent a fortune at the ER which was a huge surprise, they kindly itemized everything they were doing and gave me multiple routes I could go down. From the first visit to my last, the team at Oz RoPa has shown me so much compassion and care towards my babies, and I’m so thankful they helped my baby to the other side. Thank you.

I’ve been coming to Oz Animal hospital for about a year. The technicians, doctors, and staff are incredibly kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I really appreciate that they always offer many different solutions and are transparent about price points for treatment. I’ve taken my dog to two locations and have had great experiences both places!

I am so happy I found an amazing vet place for my dogs. Everyone is incredibly kind and helpful. The minute I walk inside, I am welcome with a smile and my dog feels so welcome. I really appreciate them being transparent about the price points.
