I'm so happy with this place. I love that it is so easy to do business with them and everyone is so nice to us and our dog. Usually, it is difficult to schedule appointments but with them they always accommodate us and they tell us how much it will be before we get there so, we won't have any surprises! I also love that they are so quick! The vet we used to go to would bring us to the room and we would wait for 30mins before they see us, which is horrible especially for dogs wait a long time in a stressful environment.... read more

Business response:

Hey Cristina! Thanks so much for this review. Transparency and convenience are very important to us, and I'm glad that shows! Thanks for bringing your dog to see us.

First impressions are lasting. Your first impression when you walk in the door is a positive one when you are greeted by a smiling warm and friendly staff. There was no wait time since we had an appointment. Dr Bellamy was very nice, knowledgeable and friendly to our cat. I highly recommend Bramer. 

Business response:

Hey there: Thanks so much for leaving this review. I'm so happy to hear you had a pleasant visit with Dr. Bellamy and that our staff welcomed you and your cat warmly. Thanks again!

I've been bringing my cats to Bramer Animal Hospital ever since I moved to Evanston over twenty years ago. It is easy to get an appointment for both routine exams or sudden, unexpected illnesses. I am most familiar with Dr. Schoen as she has been the doctor to primarily care for both of my cats. She is very adept at dealing with my skittish cat and making her feel as comfortable as possible. Her exams are thorough and she is an excellent communicator making sure to answer all of my questions. She responds to email quest... read more

Business response:

Donna: Thank you so much for coming to see us for so many years! I really appreciate your kind words about Dr. Schoen and am so pleased to hear we've been able to help your cat feel more comfortable. Thank you for leaving this review!

We have been coming to Bramer for years. Although all the vets are great, Dr. Swiatkowski is special. He completes a thorough assessment and tells us options for care. He explains costs and gives us recommendations, supporting any decision we make. Several years ago, our dog had a mucocele and surgery would have been both expensive and traumatic. Dr. Swiatkowski did research and found an alternative treatment which, much to the surprise of the surgeon, worked. He has seen us through the death of two pets and has welcomed on ... read more

Business response:

Dawn, I can't thank you enough for coming to see us and Dr. Swiatkowski for so many years. We're thrilled that you have trusted us with your pets' care, and we're incredibly grateful for clients like you! Thanks for this lovely review.

We found Bramer under rather unfortunate circumstances when our cat, Lizzie, became gravely ill. Dr. Berkowitz was incredibly caring to Lizzie and compassionate towards my husband and I as we had to make a very difficult decision after it became apparent that Lizzie wouldn't recover. Even after our last visit with Dr. Berkowitz, the compassionate care extended to a lovely, handwritten condolence card, which we very much appreciated. We may not be getting a new pet for quite some time but if we do, we would absolutely choo... read more

Business response:

Hi Molly: Losing a pet is always difficult, and we're glad we could help you and your family during this tough time. Thank you so much for this generous review. We wish you and your husband the best.

I'd recommend this Vetinarian clinic to anyone with a pet. The providers are very professional and kind to the animals. It is a very clean facility with lots of nearby parking. The exam rooms accommodate a large dog easily and Sampson loves the staff. The prices are fair and hours are good. 

Business response:

Megan: It's great to hear that you've been impressed with our clinic. Thanks for bringing Sampson to see us and for leaving this generous review!

We've been taking our cat and dog (and a stray kitten we found living under our house last summer) to Dr. Schoen at Bramer for the past few years, and have always received compassionate, professional service from the whole staff. Dr. Schoen, in particular, is genuinely enthusiastic about sharing her considerable professional knowledge with concerned pet owners. She obviously keeps up with the latest veterinary medicine research, cites it during office visits, and translates it into useful advice for non-medical professionals... read more

Business response:

Erin: Thank you so much for your kind words about our practice and about Dr. Schoen. We strive to make pet care as stress-free as possible, and we're glad that shows. We can't thank you enough for this thorough review; it brightens all of our days to hear our clients appreciate the ways we care for pets! We're glad your cat is feeling better, and we hope you enjoyed your trip.

After that great experience when my dog was a puppy I finally clued in two years later that this should just be our regular vet. Bramer is wonderful. They're quick with getting you an appointment, call back in a timely manner when you leave a message, and are super accommodating. Our dog really hates going to the vet so on our first real visit, Dr. Swaitkowski spent most of the time just feeding him treats and trying to get the dog to warm up to him. Since he wasn't sick, the doctor said he wouldn't do anything invasive ju... read more

Business response:

Veronica: We're thrilled that we now get to be Briggs's regular vet! Some pets really don't like coming to the vet, so we try extra hard to make their visits as comfortable as possible. That way, they start to associate us with positive feelings (and maybe with treats, too). But, fewer visits are almost always even better for these pets, which means it's even more important for us to encourage thorough preventative care and to be available via phone to brainstorm minor issues! Thanks for your feedback and for bringing Briggs... read more

I've been bringing my pets to Bramer for over 20 years. We have seen Dr. Swaitkowski, Dr. Schoen and recently Dr. Berkowitz. they are great, wonderful with our little animals and very astute about recommended care. In all these years, the only, only comment for improvement is the staff at the reception and check out. They are clearly busy, have lots to do, but their approach towards clients is at times abrupt. Other than this small point, I wouldn't think twice about going anywhere else. 

Business response:

Hi Babette: Thank you so much for leaving this review and for coming to Bramer for so long. We especially appreciate your constructive feedback. We're always looking for ways to grow and to improve our service to all pets and pet owners, so we're grateful that you took the time to let us know about your experiences. Thanks again!
