Avoid Mayfair Animal Clinic -- especially Dr. Elizabeth. In my experience, she was completely unresponsive, lacked compassion, and repeatedly failed to follow up on urgent medical issues. She didn't even provide test results when they became available, and my pet's condition worsened because of these delays. I had to call over and over just to get basic information she had promised to share. Based on my experience, she should not be caring for animals. I regret ever bringing my pet here and strongly urge others to go elsewhere. read more

We had a great experience at Mayfair with Dr Katie Baldwin. It was easy to make a last minute appointment. They were reasonably priced and well-staffed. Katie was an amazing vet. She took a very holistic, but evidence-based approach. She took her time with us to talk about cat behavior and ways to improve the dynamics within our multi-cat household. We went here on an afternoon our usual vet is closed for an urgent issue. Our usual vet is farther away and only does walk-ins, but is affordable and really good with animals. We have been going there for almost twenty years and are very loyal, but I think we have found a new vet because of how great our visit was with Dr. Baldwin. read more

Our cats have been seen at Mayfair for a few years now. We prefer to avoid chains and corporate-owned vet practices, which has become more and more difficult as time goes on. We normally see Dr. Katie, but have seen other providers on occasion. In 2023, we had to put down our 17yo cat who wasn't a Mayfair patient - she had an in-home vet to avoid the stress of travel (also because getting her into a pet carrier would result in an angry stressed out cat bent on revenge, and shredded/bleeding humans). Because our other cats were patients at Mayfair, the practice agreed to do a last-minute euthanasia and fit us in the same day. More recently, one of our cats was having digestive issues. Dr. Katie advised us to do some basic blood tests, a fecal test, and to switch to a prescription food for a few weeks before doing expensive screening and testing. Turns out, our kitty has food allergies. Almost any other practice would have sent us for imaging and expensive targeted bloodwork, but Mayfair's approach was to start with a very basic change and basic testing and see if it helped. Which it did - kitty has allergies. Pretty sure most other vet clinics would have started by testing absolutely everything and had me pay over $1k before taking the step of switching to a hypoallergenic food that was easy to digest. We're very happy with the practice. read more

This clinic sounds great for established clients and its PR on its website makes it sound very caring. However new clients are not treated with respect. I didn't get to the point of actually seeing anyone, just calling. I called early on a Friday morning. I was told to try to call again early on Monday. No expression of concern, not even asked what was wrong or would I like to make an appointment. Impossible to make an appointment. You are just supposed to keep calling to see if they might decide to see you at some indefinite time in the future. I complained on their website via e-mail. I did get an e-mail return saying that the receptionist was instructed not to make appointments. They used COVID as an excuse (which to me seemed disingenuous given that COVID has been in check for a while). I feel that if they are not taking new patients, they should say so on their Website -- at the very least, explain they do not make appointments for new patients, that you just have to keep calling. The e-mail I got was not even signed by a real person. I ended up going to Uptown Animal Hospital. I could easily make an appointment on line. Dr. Sullivan at UAH was very caring. Reception was welcoming. read more

A month ago, I took my 6-pound Maltese to Mayfair for dental surgery and dental cleaning, and I'm finally getting a chance to write a review. Dr. Paul did an incredible job! I was initially concerned about anesthesia due to my dog's size, but everything went smoothly. This was actually the second time I brought him to Mayfair for dental surgery--the first time was for the extraction of his baby teeth. Both times, the results were excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I highly, highly recommend Mayfair! I've attached a photo from the second visit. Dr. Paul did a great job in removing the infection and cleaned his teeth beautifully. read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Katie Baldwin. My dog has had allergies for a little over 5 years now. It has made him so uncomfortable with itchy flaky skin and yeast infections. I had tried almost every home remedy and I've been to 3 other vets and nothing has really worked until recently when I saw Dr Baldwin who took the time to understand and figure out the best remedy to start with. My dog is almost a different dog now. He no longer has flaky skin and the yeast is under control. read more

Once again we're back here because our dog seems to just love to chew chunks of toys and get sick! This time we were able to see our primary vet before coming here, but unfortunately he didn't have the tools he needed to ensure our dog was ok. So I called Mayfair clinic this morning and they got me in two hours later. Once again all those ladies working up front are god sent angels! All were so sweet and caring for my hammy. As well as Dr. Fedyniak he was great! Very calm, which is what I needed because I was a mess!

Cannot say enough about this clinic and everyone who works there, especially Doctor Mike. Our sweet baby Dolly was sadly very sick and did not make it, but the assistance we received from doctor Mike through this time made it all a lot easier. He was sure to follow through about her and always found time to squeeze her in, doing everything they possibly could to try and help. Above all, he was kind, honest, and transparent. He kept us in the loop about everything that was going on in her X rays and what not, so when we did reach the end of the road, we at least had answers and knew we had done everything we could. It's never easy losing a pet, but Mayfair Animal Clinic was so kind through all of this. Thank you guys. We know Dolly is so appreciative of Doctor Mike making her last few weeks a little easier. read more

I love this Vet Clinic! The entire staff: techs, docs, and receptionists are professional, friendly, helpful I have been bringing Athena, my German Shepherd, here for 10 years. Doctor Paul basically cured her allergies. She feels soooooo much better. It's a family owned business which I think makes the quality and customer investment a notch above. read more

Great staff and Veterinarian!!! They genuinely care about animals. I will continue to come here for my dogs care.

I changed from Ace Animal Hospital to Mayfair Animal Clinic shortly after Ace Animal Hospital closed. I have two dogs and I am very disappointed with Mayfair Animal Clinic. Their facilities look pretty and they have many items you need in stock...specialized dog foods, medications, etc. but that's about it. It The staff working at the front desk are not friendly at all. I will say that one young lady with glasses does go out of her way to be nice. However, everyone else is just going through the motions. Other than the person taking care of you, most of the time the people at the front desk don't even make eye contact or say hello. The techs are pretty much the same. They don't have smiles on their faces. They just come out like robots and take your dog. They don't really interact with your doggie. At Ace Animal Hospital, when you walked in, every employee who happened to be in front gave you a warm reception and they would even pet your dog and give him a treat. As for the doctors, they are adequate for things like a check up or a minor problem. They do make somewhat of an effort to follow up but it's not consistent. And they don't seem to be aware of your dog's health history and previous issues when you bring them in for a routine exam or vaccination. I have also found myself having issues with front desk employees being unaware of medication changes requested by the doctor and not every doctor is in every day. The other issue I've had with Mayfair is them not reminding me of a particular vaccine being due during my dog's visit, resulting in me having to schedule another visit a day or two later. I was really hopeful that this would be the place for my babies since it's the closest animal clinic to my house. But after a few months, I decided to go with Riser Animal Hospital and I am very happy with them. Mayfair Animal Clinic is not terrible and the care you get there is adequate but there's really no follow up and no sincere friendliness towards pets and pet parents. read more

I've taken my one dog for checkups and shots. The one time my dog got bit by another dog, they were able to accommodate to see him immediately and the price was fair. What I didn't like was that when they call us to schedule shots, they stagger the shots - rabies, bordatella and whatever else. Each time we go, we are charged the shots and the vet fee. read more

This is a great vet we have been taking our dogs here for 6 years. Dr Mike has a really good way with animals. I feel we get good advice and honest diagnosis. My dog does not like any vet but is is somewhat comfortable here. They also clip nails. I am glad that they are so close. read more

Dr. Michael and the animal technicians at Mayfair took wonderful care of Honeybun after she suffered a severe hematoma in her ear.

Very helpful with my sick cat. I did not refrigerate the antibiotics they sold me and they were kind enough to check in the next day and replace them.

I moved here last December and I've been taking my two dogs here every month because I have dogs that have special needs. I had a small emergency last night and wanted to squeeze my dogs in for a quick ear check, which they've both been in to this office before for the same thing. I was told they were booked and would not squeeze my dogs in. When I insisted, only after numerous attempts, they said they would squeeze my dogs in for an emergency room fee of $118 each. That just felt very gross to me. I called another veterinarian office around the corner, who is also booked for the evening, but they squeezed my dogs in even though they've never seen them before and without an extra fee. I completely understand running a business and having staff. I owned and operated a very large ad agency on the West Coast and East Coast for many years. I've had clients that have needed things on a rush basis and I've always accommodated them as long as they were not abusive. Super disappointed when I normally really like coming here:-( The staff and the docs are always really nice don't know what went wrong! read more

Last week we noticed our cat was not feeling well. She was meowing differently, extremely lethargic, had eye discharge that was different than usual, and began sleeping next to her litter box. We took her to her usual vet (not Mayfair). Unfortunately, they didn't address the problem and she got worse, with a head tilt and losing balance. I found Mayfair on Yelp, and gave them a call. They gave me an appointment right away. The office is nice and everyone there is so caring. We went right to our room (which was reserved for us, with our cat's name on the whiteboard - a really sweet touch). The Dr. came in, he was extremely nice and caring towards our cat. He listened to us and our concerns. They swabbed her ear and immediately saw the infection.They gave us an ointment for her ears and cleaned them both out for her. The next day, she was a little worse (not eating/drinking, falling more), and I was worried (Saturday, everything's closed on Sunday). I called, and they said to bring her right in for fluids, anti-nausea meds, and an antibiotic injection. They again cleaned out her ears, which had additional puss. The practice's other Dr. spent some more time explaining the infection and what to expect. They genuinely cared about making her feel better. Two days later, she's acting like herself again. Balance is slowly returning, and we have a follow up scheduled. This place is a gem. read more

Mayfair Animal Clinic - Super sweet touch! - Veterinarians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The doctors and staff have helped us with our animal friends (dog, cats) for many years.

Loved our very first visit today! In switching from another local vet, Mayfield did a phenomenal job in seamlessly executing the transition. Friendly, communicative, and honest- we enjoyed our conversation with Dr. Winkler! 60 years and still family owned speaks for itself. read more

I transferred here about a year ago and the vet I had was fantastic! Showed a genuine interest/concern for my dog but then he left. Lately it seems they have become all about driving up bills. Last visit was about a ten min examination which cost close to 200 dollars and recommendation for over 1000 dollars of additional tests (not including the requested spay) I took my dog for 3 other opinions and every one said they couldn't justify any of the tests being recommended due to my dog showing no symptoms. The only one everyone agreed on was the spaying; obviously my choice. Unfortunate but I went down the road to another vet that showed much more heart/ concern for my dog and less of a financial gain. read more

I only give this place one star because i have to. My dog died in their care last night. they give you the stupid excuse of " we did all we could" But when you tell me the dog is in possible crittical care, then tell me shes okay to go home..why would you leave her alone before we come to pick her up? i took me 15 minutes to drive him my house to this clinic and by the time i got there my best friend was dead. the we did everything we could excuse wasnt enough and never will be they kill your pet and then expect you to pay outragious prices for care to HELP your pet, when all they did was kill it. if your dog is in serious problem....GO ELSEWHERE! ER vet! it might be expensive but they know what to do for a serious case. these small clinics know shit! My baby is dead and the best they could give me was..She was old..and we did what we could. She was in perfect health~! untill yesterday morning when something happend that was unexplained. they had no answers nothing..no explaination to why or wha might have happend just the good old. We think it migh have been a stroke.. They left her in the cage alone while we were on our way and by the time they came to check on her she was dying. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!!! read more

I brought my dogs here for a few years and they helped them, nice people, reasonable fees. However, one of the doctors missed a horrible cancer growing inside one of my dog's abdomen. After several visits over months, in the face of problems with eating and defecating, she prescribed different foods, probiotics, pills. Finally suggested a diff. vet for an ultrasound, who found cancer had basically taken over and closed off my dog Zoey's digestive track. I saw the scans. Awful. The greenish diarreah that had recently been coming out was "necrotic tissue." The vet wondered why Mayfair never even did an x-ray. I had to put Zoey down immediately, at that visit, because I couldn't bear the thought of the pain she had been in for months to go on for one more hour. Broke my heart. To her credit, the Mayfair vet called a few days later after the new vet sent over a CD with the scans, to express her shock and sympathy. I told her she let me down and I would not be returning, even though they're just a couple blocks away. From my perspective, as someone else expressed on here, the vets were fine w/routine work. But they never cared nor looked at the historical pattern of visits to see if there was a deeper problem. To this day I can't understand it. It took me 3 years to be able to write this review. I ended up adopting 2 dogs a few months later, and now am very pleased with the care given them by the vets at Forest Glen Animal Hospital, about a mile north on Elston. Look them up here to see their reviews. read more

Horrible, incompetent, ignorant. Just a few of the words that I would use to describe this place. Dr. Betsy (although she's an adult, she does not use her last name) is quite frankly the worst vet that I have ever dealt with. Thankfully, my husband and I realized how incompetent she is....and took our cat to another vet. Also, just from my experience the four times I was there, the assistants/techs are creepy and make you feel very uncomfortable at having them touch/carry your pets. Finally, their treatment is overpriced and they will try to sell you as much as possible. At all costs, unless you are going for something extremely routine like annual rabies shots (and even then I'm not sure I would recommend them), take your pets elsewhere. I certainly want nothing to do with them ever again. I regret ever going there just because they are closer to my house than my prior vet (to whom we went crawling back in shame). read more

rry that being a long pet owner and going to mayfair had a real bad down fall i need to take my cat in a lot we were able to talk make a grate plan but as time went on and covid took over every ones life they were being extra carefull i thought i would try to under stand but every one got ruder and uncaring if your cat was real sick they were all booked up you can go to hell as you look at them through the window as your cat gets sicker closer to death as you are shaking and screaming begging for help untill you can not talk or breath no more apointments not to day or all week long the girls there and the owners wife can talk to you any way they feel like because they claim it is because of covid gives them the right to be like this after waiting and knowing my cat was soon at the end of his life and i lived so far with are last breath i still begged for help but yes they are bitchs said if you do not get going we will call the police as we ran to the bus on are long 4 mile way home i asked god do not let my cat die i must find a vet as i cryed home i did find a vet oz in rogers park hours later closer to death and over 20 phone calls later i hope other people do not go through this so being a long time person means nothing hear it has all been washed away with tears' of sadness read more

I went into Mayfair clinic after my dog was bitten by another dog. The initial bite was small, but the doctor determined my dog needed a drain placed, so they cut up half her body to place the drain. This initial visit cost us about $369 and we were explicitly told that this would be the only charge and would cover off on follow up visits. After going back to the vet everyday to keep up with cleaning and maintenance of the stitches as well as following all their directions, my dog's stitches and the area where they placed the drain opened up few days after getting the initial stitches. At this point my dog was in far worse shape than her initial wound. Half her body was completely open without any skin covering her internal body. Because Mayfair is closed on Sundays, we ended up paying an emergency vet to cover up her would. As soon as Mayfair opened on Monday, we went back to get my dog stitched up again. Then the doctor had to cut even more of her skin to get a cleaner skin healthy enough to restitch again. Unfortunately, due to their incompetence, we were never informed of the large bill that was coming our way. After the procedure, they attempted to collect another $400+. Of course this was outrageous given we weren't told of the large fee prior to the second procedure and we were told our initial payment would cover off on any follow up visits/procedures. After speaking with the doctor, she confirmed that they would not charge us for the second procedure. The doctor even mentioned what happened to my dog (stitches opening backup) was common for most dogs ... yet she failed to inform me during or even after our initial visit. Come several months later, I get a call from a collection agency requesting to collect $420 bill on behalf of Mayfair. I immediately called Mayfair Clinic, but the receptionist said I needed to talk to the Finance guy who would call me back when he gets in the office. Of course, I never hear back from him or Mayfair Clinic again. After a second call from the collection agency and reattempting to connect with Peter, the Finance person, several times, I finally talk to him and explain the situation. While finally on the phone with their Finance guy, Peter Fedyniak immediate got defensive and claimed everything that we were told by the office was not true. What's even funny was that he claimed Mayfair attempted to contact me several times since the second procedure, which is completely false! Even when I visited their office several times for additional follow up visits, Mayfair clinic never mentioned anything about this specific bill. When I asked to talk to the doctor that took care of my pet, he also claimed she left the office and moved to Cincinnati. He attacked me over the phone claiming my dog had to get second stitches because we didn't take care of her and that we needed to pay the fee in full. When I tried to explain that what he has in his files is false, he kept rudely speaking over me and hung up without getting to any resolution. Because of this long uncomfortable experience...plus missing several days of work to heal my dog & keep up with their appointments, I'm personally fed up with their office and their conniving ways to make money. This is quite honestly a modern day robbing for a shallow vet clinic. If you are considering to take your pet there, please think twice unless you're willing to pay twice for the same procedure. They will not hesitate to botch up your pet to get more out of your pocket and blame it all on you while ruining your credit history. Best of luck to Mayfair clinic! I'm sure karma has something in line for them. read more

I would like to start off saying that if I could give ten stars on Yelp I would. Mayfair's entire staff is extraordinary and I am so thankful this place is my Toby's (shitzu mix) go to facility for his healthcare needs. A few months ago we went thru a very frightening, critical situation with Toby and thought we were going to lose him. I have never gone through any of this with him, but I am certain that without Dr. Michael Fedyniak's miracle hands, Toby would have left this world. He is a small dog that had to undergo a very very long surgery, meaning being under general anesthesia. Typically for a dog his size and the type of surgery and length of it, the outcomes are not usually successful, but Dr M. Fedyniak did everything in his power for Toby and because of him I am able to still have Toby today. He was very calm under a stressful situation and that shows a lot. Also Dr Marisa Wlodek is extraordinary she also took care of Toby when Dr Fedyniak was not in. I am very grateful to her for always listening to all my concerns and for always being genuinely caring and loving towards Toby. They were doing everything possible for him during his recovery period. She even performed acupuncture on Toby and it made him better. I highly recommend it. Who knew there was acupuncture for animals! We are so thankful! Last but not least is the rest of the staff, starting from the front desk to the vet assistants. I would need to take him almost everyday and he would have to stay there for the entire day most of the times . Each and everyday Toby was treated by them as though he was their own dog. I just felt so much love by them. Seeing Toby now you would not believe everything he endured, but thanks to everyone at Mayfair this was all possible! God Bless everyone!! Toby and his family say Thank you!! read more

They really care about getting to the bottom of what's bothering your pet here. I had spent years trying to find a go to vet after moving back home to Chicago. The city seems to have a surplus of veterinarians that are more about the dollar than the pet & his or her parents. Not Mayfair. I had been taking my 13 year old lab mix all over creation because I knew that something was wrong. We kept being sent home from other vets with antibiotics & itch medication all the while I watched him waste away to skin and bones even though he was eating normally every day. Then we met doctor Mike. He actually listened to my concerns & my dog's symptoms. He ran specialized tests. He confirmed the news that I'd been bouncing from vet to vet for with empathy, civility, & grace. I spent almost a year trying to get to the bottom of what was making my old man sick. I finally had a solid answer because of Mayfair & Dr. Mike. I spent another month with my dog after his diagnosis. His name was Coltrane. After realizing I might be keeping him with me for selfish reasons...I made the heartbreaking decision to put him to sleep when his terminal illness started to sap his zest for walks, play, & even getting up our stairs. Mayfair even made that experience more palatable by being gentle, caring & kind. They also offer post life accommodations such as clay paw print impressions, and cremation services complete with urn to commemorate your furry family members. He was the best dog that I've ever had, wish we would have discovered Mayfair sooner. read more

Fanfreakingtastic. We came home to a cat with an unidentifiable open wound (gah!) and called these folks. They got us in right away (no upcharge for emergency), were incredibly gentle with our kitty and id'd the problem. 20 minutes later we were out the door with antibiotics, a cone and some relief for under 100. I really appreciated being provided with options with regard to antibiotics (drops are about half as much as a shot). Their honesty won me over and we certainly have a new vet. * I just read some of the other reviews and am thoroughly confused - we honestly had a great experience. read more

I've waited two years to the day to write this review. Instead of telling you how my 5 years of experience with all three of these doctors ending up costing my cat her life, I'll just get straight to the bottom line. The fact of the matter is, these doctors are great in everyday situations. They're great when it comes to annual check ups and shots and things of this nature. But when they're faced with an unusual situation, they just don't know what to do. It's just that simple. R.I.P. my beautiful Gracie 6/23/02 to 11/8/08 read more

A little disappointed in this place, at least the communication part. My husband and I made an appointment a couple weeks ago for our chocolate lab to get his check up and annual vaccinations. Upon arrival, they DO NOT LET YOU ENTER the establishment with your dog. They want you to wait outside and they take your dog. I wanted to meet with the veterinarian, see him checking my dog and see him vaccinating him with my own two eyes. They didn't explain beforehand that you can't enter with your dog. So I decided to leave and find another establishment. read more
