Staff is so caring and compassionate and rates are reasonable. That's why I keep coming here even though it's 20 minutes away from where I live and there are several other places closer!

We went to Kohn Animal hospital on September 23, 2021 for vaccination for two of my cats. On phone we requested three vaccines for my cats. When we reached there, they took our pets inside & didnt let us inside & told us to stay in the car, so we were not sure which vaccines my pets were getting. When the nurse came back, we asked her to give us the hard copy so that we know which vaccines they got. Going through the papers we came to know that they gave them two vaccines instead of three, whereas they billed us for three, so we called them again to make it clear for us. Then the nurse took

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mann. She has been my doggos vet from the day he came to Chicago Canine Rescue. She has been AMAZING throughout all of his health issues (worms, meningitis, upset tummy, more worms...you name it my dog had it). She has let me cry and vent to her on the phone and has been beyond wonderful in providing treatment at the most reasonable cost. My favorite thing about her is that she takes diagnostics one thing at a time and definitely avoids overly expensive testing/treatment unless she absolutely believes its necessary. Overall 20/10 for Dr. Mann and her amazing
