Bruno, my Wheaten Terrier baby was Melrose Park Animal Hospital's first patient :). The office was not opened yet, they were in the middle of the moving process but when they saw him they said : yes , come in, let's see what is wrong with the puppy. The even took the picture as Bruno being their first patient. It is now almost three years and I have my second baby :) Rufus. We are going there once a year for the shuts and for all kind of problems they have and we are really happy with the doctors and the way they take care of my dogs. I recommended them to all my friends and they are coming here with their pets from Chicago, Niles and Morton Grove even if they have animal hospitals closer to their home.

Excellent. I have been taking my dogs to Dr. Shakir for over 4 years now. He is an excellent vet with a great deal of experience. The services offered at the clinic are very affordable, and most important of all Dr. Shakir does not prescribe or recommend unnecessary treatments like other vets do to rack up the bill. I highly encourage everyone with pets (regardless of where you live in Chicagoland) to visit him when your pet needs medical attention.

Dr. Shakir and his staff are truly the best vets I have been to in the Chicago region, and I would HIGHLY recommend his practice to anyone in Oak Park, River Forest, or Chicago who is looking for an excellent vet. Over the years I have taken my cat to several different vets in Chicago and Oak Park, and was always shocked by the high prices and long waits for appointments. Then I went to Melrose Park Animal Hospital and I haven't gone anywhere else since! I have one cat of my own, and I am also a foster home for Speciality Purebred Cat Rescue, so I have a lot of foster cats who need care. Our rescue needs a vet who is reasonably priced and experienced. Dr. Shakir definitely fits the bill! He truly cares about each cat and always has practical recommendations to make them feel better quickly when they're sick. He never makes you wait and is always upfront about costs. He is very committed to rescue and serves as the shelter for the Melrose Park area. Dr. Shakir has years of experience and I always trust his input, and he has done a ton of surgeries on cats for our rescue and they have always been very successful. Again, if you live in Oak Park, River Forest or Chicago, I encourage you to check out MPAH - you will be glad that you did!

This was a good hospital the staff is very friendly and prices was very affordable.

I'm sorry but I highly disagree with Y Noriega.! I was just there 3 weeks ago as well for an exam on my dog, Lavi and my kitty, Socks. I had an awesome experience. Socks was really sick and they took care of her right away. Lavi just needed her nail trim but they did really well in holding her down because she gets so antsy sometimes. The new staff and Dr. Shakir were great, not to mention they've only been there for a couple months. The place itself looks nicer, brighter, and doesn't smell bad like you'd think. Also, they are a No Kill facility and have had successful adoptions for strays; that caught my heart!! It shows that they really do care about the animals, let alone Your pet. I'm definately going back again.
