My baby Smooch had huge kidney cancer. Dr Heart and other Drs were supportive and always returned my calls for anything from pain meds to emotional support. 8 months later, I put him down. The staff and Dr Heart were so sincere. They even called me back after I made the appointment to put him down. I was hoping for more to be done. I just moved here before Smooches diagnosis. I did my research and picked Grayslake Animal hospital. They are the best veterinary clinic hands down and I am a old lady. There was also a woman Dr but I don't know her name. I think no matter who takes care of your kids

Excellent service that communicates clearly what to expect and how everything is to be handled. A pup had gone through a neutering and returned brimming with energy (which may have just been his character). The vet had shared the instructions to post-op care with documents and prescriptions. Friendly service from start to finish, apologies for not remembering the technician's name that had helped us in the end.
