Village Veterinary Practice-Western Springs is by far the best pet care I have received in the Western suburbs. The office is fresh, clean and the staff do their very best to put you and your pet in a examen room immediately upon your arrival. It makes for a very stress free experience for pets. The staff is kind and very compassionate! Dr. Green is gentle and is sure to take extra time to explain any issues that might be going on with your pet. I have complete confidence in his diagnosis and very much appreciate his expertise in the veterinary medicine! I am grateful to have found such good care for my two cats. Thank you!

Today was my first visit to Village Vets and I couldn't have asked for a better team of veterinary professionals. Dr. King and the entire staff are nothing short of amazing. I've been a dog owner my entire life but never have I experienced a better team to work with my dog. We were there to establish care for my newly adopted dog. Dr. King was incredibly thorough and so loving towards my dog Gus, as were the vet tech and office staff. All vets are amazing but Dr King and her staff are exceptional. They are compassionate and passionate, just what is needed to provide life-long care to my fur baby. I would strongly recommend them to anyone!

Wow, my dog Gracie and I just had the best experience EVER at a vet. We have had some bad experiences lately with our old vet so I called Village Veterinary Practice to switch over. My phone call with the receptionist was lovely and she sent me a document to fill out to let them know how my dog is typically at a vet office (very nervous). Having that information before hand, the moment we walked in the door everybody at the office try to make my dog Gracie as comfortable as possible. Their typical appointment is 30 minutes, but they set aside an hour to go slow to make sure she would be comfortable. She got treats, gentle attention and so much kindness. I have NEVER had an experience like this at a vet before! By the end of our appointment, she was wagging her tail and so happy. We also had lots of discussions about medication. The doctor explained everything thoroughly, and I felt comfortable knowing what I was purchasing moving forward (heart worm, tick, flea medication). Thank you Doctor King for taking your time with Gracie and doing everything you could to make her comfortable. I look forward to bringing Gracie in next time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND switching to this practice!

I’m so happy with this practice! The front desk employees are very friendly and the vets as well as the assistant have all been very helpful as well as friendly and caring. I’m so glad I made this switch from my previous vet.
