I have been taking my dogs here for over a decade. The ENTIRE staff genuinely cares about my pets and treats them like family. I am extremely impressed by the level of care and concern at this vet. Also, they decorate office for holidays, my favorite being Halloween when they go ALL OUT! I took two photos while in the waiting room, but you have to go to this place to experience the full range of decorations. I highly recommend this animal hospital! read more

Dr. Mateles and Chris were fantastic in how they welcomed us to their practice, and how they took care in examining and educating us on our puppy. They were patient and all questions were answered, never felt rushed even though I know they were busy. The support staff were also very helpful and knowledgeable about healthcare related issues and concerns. If you're looking for a veterinarian practice in the area, check Glenview Animal Hospital out!! read more

People here are friendly and caring. This is NOT a corporate style vet's office. Prices are as reasonable as it gets in a high quality veterinary practice these days. read more

I'm extremely picky about the care of my soulmate-in-dog-form, Larry. Our experience here was exceptional. Everyone was so kind, from the moment we walked in. Chris showered Larry with so much love and really made my scared little guy feel safe. She was incredibly empathic and sweet. Dr Mateles made me feel like she cared about Larry as though he were her own. Thank you to everyone at the practice! Larry sends sloppy smooches of gratitude. read more

Glenview Animal Hospital - Snuggles help in recovery. - Veterinarians Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

We almost considered euthanizing our beloved dog because of the speculative diagnosis they gave - saying she likely had a brain tumor. Although they also suggested a CT scan, they should realize that pet owners rely on them for accurate guidance. Knowing the prognosis for survival of brain tumors, making comments of such potential consequence is irresponsible, not to mention heartbreaking. They should have simply said, "we can't be sure - we recommend a CT scan." PERIOD Update - She ended up having a fungal infection of the nasal cavity - very successfully treated. read more

Schoen is a quirky woman whose judgment is suspect because she talks (and talks and talks) but does not listen. This leads to incomplete and ineffective treatment. She has no people skills. read more

I am new to Glenview, so when choosing a vet for my cats, I read several reviews for different offices. I can say I am very happy I chose Glenview Animal Hospital. Everyone there was so friendly and kind. Dr. Mateles' love for animals was evident in the care she took with my cat. read more

When I moved to Glenview in 1991 I wanted a local veterinarian for the coolest cat ever!!

Everyone cares and takes good care of your pet. Jane Braun read more

Recently had a god awful experience at Glenview Animal Hospital which put my dog through so much unnecessary pain. I brought my dog in for a tumor removal in which he was horribly stitched up. A few days later, the stitches began to dehisce (split apart). We immediately brought him in so the doc could take a look at it. Aside from the staff lacking any sort of compassion or warmth towards my baby who was in pain from his stitches literally ripping apart, we were sent home and told that he will be fine and that the wound would heal "on its own". Days later, every single stitch popped open and the wound completely tore apart. I rushed him back to Glenview Animal Hospital because his MUSCLE was now protruding through skin and his blood was getting everywhere. When we got there, the doc took a look at it and once again said that there was nothing they can do. Crazy right? These people refused to stitch up my dog because quote "the same thing could happen again". Instead, their idea was putting a mesh sling on him to cover up the wound so that blood wouldn't get everywhere. However, once we got home and took off the sling, the friction from the harsh material rubbing against the open wound caused it to open up even more, worsening the already large open wound. My poor dog. We ended up taking him to another hospital in the area which probably saved his life. They immediately took him in, stitched him up, and now, weeks later, his wound is healed with no complications. It was heartbreaking seeing my dog in such agonizing pain, knowing that his doctor, whom we trusted, couldn't care less to help him and only made the pain worse. read more

Update: I had to say goodbye to my little friend. Thanks to your receptionist for making my last day with him a little harder thru her lack of compassion & patience. Follow-up to reply- No your receptionist was neither kind, patient nor compassionate. I called your clinic bc of a recommendation from an existing client who I met at ER. Do you think I would've called your clinic if I hadn't already tried to get into mine? Covid is being waaaaay over used as an excuse. I've worked the entire pandemic, not at home. I stand by my statement- rude reception- Covid as overused excuse. Another rude receptionist. Get a hold of your people. If someone is audibly upset because they have a sick animal and can't get him into their regular vet or any animal hospital for two months because of the Covid excuse - have some empathy. It's like having a sick family member. And no- don't reply and tell me see an ER because I did that and they sent us home after 6 hours (4.5 hour wait in reception & 1 hour in a room when they sensed I was about to leave) with little care & now $400 ER visit & 24 hour laters the wound appears gangrenous. Teach the people who answer phones to be empathetic instead of hanging up on a person who is upset (and at no time raises voice or swore but instead questioned the Covid excuse). Ive worked entire pandemic not at home. I truly hope anyone who chose to collect unemployment & Covid stimulus bump feels great about their choice of laziness over providing a real life need to sick animals. I'll bet every single unemployed by choice using Covid as an excuse had no problem ordering packages on Amazon and never thought "Gee, how marvelous, someone is still doing their job during Covid." read more

we called this place on Saturday morning because our wonderful Chicago Pet Clinic on Cicero is closed on Saturday. Our Olaf 16 years old NFC needs immediate help. I think he is seriously blocked/ constipayed. Person who answered the phone didn't care it's emergency. She wanted to make appointment for Olaf in 2 weeks. Really?? What an ignorance! Luck of professionalism and love for animals. Urszula Novotni read more

Glenview Animal Hospital - Hamilton the Cat! Proud and healthy furry patient of Glenview Animal Hospital, both Dr. Cohen and Dr. Cantor. - Veterinarians Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Had to find local vet for first time since moving here. Glenview Animal Hospital was so great I just had to post about it. When I first reached out for an appointment I got a call back within the hour. I was able to pre fill out forms and email ahead of time so no forms when I got there. Vet and staff were so kind and took their time getting to know me and our two new kittens. They fawned over the kitties and the vet provided all sorts of great advice and and answered all my questions. He even helped me find the best value online for a fountain water dish. Overall, I just felt like we got five star treatment. read more

Dr Cohen & the other vets there are very knowledgeable and kind. He came most highly recommended by my previous vet when he retired so I trust him completely. They call the day b4 with a reminder which is so appreciated as everyone is so busy these days. read more

Love, Love, Love this vet practice! We have two pups, a six-year-old golden doodle, Emme Elizabeth, and an 8-month-old lab mix, Madeline who have both been patients of Dr. Sarah Mateles since they were adopted. The practice has a wonderful family feel when you walk in and everyone is incredibly kind and compassionate. Our puppy Madeline has the sweetest connection with Chris, the Hospital Director and they are the best of friends. Everyone at the practice will always go above and beyond to ensure your furry kids receive the best treatment and you leave well-informed. I highly recommend the Glenview Animal Hospital. read more

12/4/2022 Update of prior review. The past few years our precious senior cat received good medical care from Dr David Cohen, Owner of Glenview Animal Hospital, and from the other 2 vets in the practice. This completely changed when we had to put her down. I told Dr Cohen to give her the appropriate sedative to relax her before the final injection. Dr Cohen immediately responded very arrogantly, "I never miss". I continued talking to him, and he said the exact same thing. He would not make our senior cat as comfortable as possible. As I anticipated, it was a traumatic terrifying experience for her. Her final few moments of life consisted of trauma, screaming, pain, fear, etc. Putting her down took way too much time. We have had indoor cats for a very long time (me, too, growing up), and every cat was comfortable and peaceful before passing. I called Dr Cohen several days later to discuss the situation. It was not helpful. This incident happened December 10, 2021. For various reasons, I could not update my review sooner. I DO recommend the other 2 vets at Glenview Animal Hospital. I DO NOT recommend Dr David Cohen, Owner of Glenview Animal Hospital. read more

Dr Canter is great. You want your vet to actually love animals we went to another Glenview vet prior before switching to Glenview Animal Hospital and it was the best thing for Hudson our Golden Retriever. The other vet showed zero affection or compassion for animals and offered us ZERO suggestions with a puppy on food options and many other questions. Dr Canter was the complete opposite and the whole staff for that matter was amazing and the women and at the front couldn't be sweeter. Highly recommend this animal hospital. read more

I can't say enough about how much I love Glenview Animal Hospital, Dr. Cohen and his wonderful staff. My dogs could not be in better hands or receive better care. I also appreciate the level of expertise, thoroughness and kindness they provide. Their love for animals really comes across, and their bedside manner is incomparably warm and straightforward. We feel very fortunate to have our precious dogs receiving such loving and professional care. Highly recommended! read more

It gets no better! I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Great staff. In addition to being a great vet, Dr. Cohen saved my dogs life. Been going there for 30 years. ALL our dogs love him and he keeps them healthy. Super smart guy!!! Great problem solver... Your animals will be grateful for your choice if you use him. Many thanks GAH! read more

We have two senior kitty ladies living at home, one who is almost 20, and one (in my icon) is 14. We used to live in Arlington Heights and used a vet near there for the 20-year-old. While mostly happy with the services, I could never speak with a vet on the phone nor get anyone to call me back when I had a problem. And driving to pick up medication became a huge hassle. We decided to choose Glenview Animal Hospital that's near our apartment. Dr. Mateles is friendly, compassionate, and carefully went through our 20-year-old's lengthy records to help us develop a healthcare plan. She was patient when dealing with our crankypants 14-year-old too. Dr. Kanter also helped us during a very stressful day after New Year, dealing with our 20-year-old's sudden illness. The thing we appreciate the most -- aside from the competent and caring staff -- is the fact that whenever we call, it takes five minutes at most to talk to a vet. It's reassuring to know that we'll get to talk to someone right away when we're having a crisis! In fact, Dr. Mateles even made a follow-up call to check on our 20-year-old when we were dealing with her tummy issues. Expect high quality care, an attentive staff and doctors, and even a photo on the wall for new patients. With a staff that's second to none, you couldn't ask for a better place to bring your furbaby! read more

Our 13 year old Yorkie was very sick and we knew it was time for the inevitable. We had just had it with our old old vet at Banfield in Niles. Glenview Animal Hospital gave us an appt the same morning we called. When we walked in, we were treated like family. It was like we had been going there for all 13 years. Stacy was the sweetest, kindest person as well as Dr Kanter. He explained the situation and all the options and basically confirmed that we were making the right decision. It was a hard thing to go through, but my family and I felt so much comfort in having these two caring people with us at this difficult time. God bless them, because I know they have had to go through this many times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a vet. Out daughter is looking to get her own dog within the next year and I already told her she will have to use Dr Kanter and his facility. Thank you so much for getting us through this. read more

I have been a client of the Glenview Animal Hospital for almost 6 years now. Dr. Cohen is wonderful with both my cats and has been there when they needed help. Recently, my cat had the beginnings of urethral blockage with crystals that I thought was an infection. The doctor knew right away what the issue was and how to treat it. A few days later, my cat was back to his normal self. The staff and the doctor are friendly and personable. read more

First, I have read reviews about GAH and most of the negetive ones are incorrect!must be mistaking for another animal hospital. I have been using Dr Cohen for decades. He even gave me his mobile number in case it was after hours. No one cares about your pet like them. I wish he was my MD!! So if you love your pet, then look no further for the best animal hospital on the Northshore, NO BS! find out yourself! read more

Better off at Blue Pearl urgent care for these HIGH PRICES. If you are looking for a vet that does lots of unexplained costly tests, this is your place. We where looking for a new vet in Glenview for our 14 1/2 year old labradoodle to treat a cough. My 24 year old son took Elle in for an appointment $670 later we where told she was dehydrated and constipated. When I questioned the charges it was explained they where looking for something deeper. "Some people want to know these things " Missy the office manager explained Yes ! I agree and it's the Vets responsibility to offer you these choices along with an explanation of why the test is needed and how much it costs giving the owner a choice before the tests are given. This is not the policy at Glenview animal hospital I am sorry to report $285 for 4 X-rays when we only agreed to 1 X-ray $195 lab work / we brought our current blood work When I questioned the charge the doctor explained they where looking for a cancer gene that required further testing. No thank you is what I would have said if had I been asked. read more

Dr. Cohen is extremely patient and great with my dogs! Every time we go see him it is an enjoyable experience! Also, the ladies at the front desk are so sweet and the vet techs are extremely loving to my dogs! read more

I've been with the Glenview animal hospital for years. I was very happy with the newest addition, Dr. Mateles! She's fantastic! Like the other Doctors, she was very thorough, and extremely caring towards my concerns with my dog. I look forward to working with her more in the future! Thank you Glenview Animal Hospital! read more

I debated going with four stars ONLY because as one person mentioned, the prices are a bit on the higher side - most things in the area are, for that matter. But with that said, I still choose to go there and want to rate them based on what matters - the care being given to my pets. And I highly recommend this place. I've seen all three doctors that are there currently as of today (Dr Kanter, Dr Cohen and Dr Mateles) and they are all really good and provide excellent care for my pets. Dr Kanter has been my main vet and he has worked with me a lot in terms of coming up with a plan of action for my sickie pets that needed a lot of tests or maintenance care, since that obviously adds up in terms of $$ (regardless of where I were to go). We've been able to use this plan to help us determine the right path to take in terms of tests, treatment, etc.and not have an overwhelming toll to my pocketbook. He also has an amazing bedside manner with my babies. He gets to know them, not just their illnesses or test results. I think the vet techs and staff there are just as great as the doctors. The vet techs are all very gentle with the animals, and get to know them just as well as the vets do. They have often helped with any clinical questions I have had, and in one 16-day span got to talk to all of them, I'm sure. The ladies at the front desk have always been super-nice, extremely comforting during the bad times, and always willing to help with any (non-clinical) questions I may have. And then there is Chris, the patient services coordinator - aka, the Cat Whisperer. She really does seem to know the pets on a whole other level, and has ALWAYS helped me with any problems that may have arisen. Those problems didn't stay problems for long. I also like the convenience of having them less than a five-minute walk away. I typically drive there since cats don't care for the colder weather, but I like knowing that I CAN walk there if needed. I've never had a problem getting in when I needed to. And I honestly can say that the care I get for my critters is worth the cost. And I will reiterate that I highly recommend this vet to anyone looking for one. read more

There's not enough good things I can say about this place. Extremely friendly staff and always helpful. They always follow up to see how everything is going as well. I usually deal with Dr. Cohen mainly because he is very personable and keeps everything real. I think he is awesome and does great with my dog Cooper. I initially came here because it was a close by vet but I couldn't be happier that I chose this location. I now have moved and live 30 minutes away and there are plenty of closer vets but would not ever choose to leave here. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone who is looking. read more

I took my dog to Glenview Animal Hospital without knowing much about it except for three good Yelp reviews, but had to go somewhere quickly because he was sick. Unfortunately I made the wrong decision because the issue was not taken care of well, resulting in multiple visits. The prices here are exorbitant. Ridiculously high compared to other places in the area. The staff is friendly enough, but the quality of care doesn't measure up. If you care about your pets and don't like to throw money in the trash, stay away. There are plenty of other good choices very close by. read more

Dr. Kanter is just who you want for a vet and his team is really great too. They all have pets and know how important they are. If you have a question or a phone call, they get back to you. Need to see them immediately? They do their best. I can't say anything bad about my visits or the care my pets got. We have been going there for 15+ years. Highly recommended. read more

We have been through so many states due to my job and through so many animal hospitals but Glenview Animal Hospital definitely stands out. Very committed and confident staff, responsive and helpful front desk, proper initial and follow up care made our choice final and we keep coming back. We see Dr. Cohen. Our dog, senior age group now, has challenging health issues that were managed with amazing results. We really appreciate all the attention and care we received. I say "we" since my anxiety was taken care of as well and considered when we discussed the options of treatment. Thank you very much! I would highly recommend this place to everybody. read more

I just moved back to the area and was reccommended to Glenview Animal Hopsital by a friend. I couldn't be happier. The staff was very welcoming and we were taken care of immediately. We met with Dr. Kanter and he was amazing! He is extremely patient and went above and beyond to help us figure out why my dog wasn't feeling well. We had to perform a number of tests on my dog and he followed up with me, by phone, during the process on almost a daily basis. My dog is feeling much better and he can't wait to go back and visit his new friends! read more

Dr Cohen and his team have taken care of our dogs for twenty years. I cannot recommend Glenview Animal Hospital more highly. The vets, techs and staff are all kind and wonderful. Dr Cohen is always very sensible and practical about his recommendations for care. You will not be worried when you don't need to be; you will not be charged for care you don't need. A couple of our dogs have had cancer. Dr. Cohen was always there for us, and I can't thank him enough for his kindness and generosity. Go to Glenview Animal Hospital. You will be happy. read more

I called during office hours with an emergency only to be told to go to the 24 hour emergency hospital .
