Don't take our word for it...
read what our clients have to say about us!
“We've been going to Oak Forest Veterinary Hospital for over 4 years. They've been great to our two dogs and cat. One of our dogs is reactive and deals with anxiety, but the team always does a great job of making her feel at ease; by the end of the appointment she's giving them kisses and asking for belly rubs. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend them.”
-- Luis Jensen
“As always my dog loves going to see everyone at Oak Forest Vet's office - service and care is wonderful! Been a client since the early 80s with all pets throughout the years!”
-- Rose Lopez
“The BEST vet experience I have ever had from start to finish!! The people are what makes this place but I will also mention how clean and beautiful the building itself was! Everyone here was so kind, helpful, patient, and extremely loving and sweet to my pup…Truly everyone here went above and beyond for us and it was just so clear everyone there loves what they do. After having a very negative experience at another popular vet in the area I am beyond relieved to have found Oak Forest Veterinary clinic!! I will keep taking my boy here forever!!”
