The Neighborhood Vets
Reviewers consistently describe a neighborhood practice where vets and staff remember their pets by name, explain treatment options without rush, and charge fairly for routine and surgical work. Dr. Davies, Dr. Schroeder, and Dr. Engmark earn specific trust for handling fearful animals and geriatric patients; a surgical spay and urgent same-day visits are cited as particularly good value. One significant complaint: a $982 diagnostic visit for a sick dog left without medication or clear next steps, which the owner resolved elsewhere. The recent ownership change (over a year ago) appears transparent to long-term clients. Their website lists low-stress handling certification and services spanning wellness, dentistry, surgery, advanced imaging, urgent care, acupuncture, and specialty work. The practice claims over 40 years of operation in Washington Park.
