I visited RFAH 3 times in 3 days due to an emergency with my dog. Dr. Thomas is absolutely amazing. He has wonderful bedside manner. He calmed me down and answered my million questions. He happily saw me repeatedly when my dog wasn't getting better. Never once did he make me feel like a bother, like I was overreacting, or that my concerns didn't matter. He is knowledgable and very, very compassionate. It was so reassuring given how frazzled I had been. I didn't feel rushed, he really took his time and he graciously repeate... read more

Our vet, Dr. Thomas is terrific. He truly cares and will go the extra mile to make sure that pet owners are cared for as well as the pets themselves. He has, on many different occasions, returned our anxious calls discuss our cats. He was previously with Burnham Hill Animal Hospital and we felt so strongly about his care that we have transferred all our files to RFAH. Our animals have been in his care for 9 years now and we wouldn't think of going to another doctor. Honestly, I don't do reviews, but I feel that strongly... read more

The entire staff here is amazing.. They always help me with appointments as my schedule , and chewy's (my 2yr old pit mix) is always crazy... The entire staff is always really nice. Chewy is never nervous or afraid when he comes for a visit... They are reasonably priced especially for the care attention and hospitality... I am glad I found them online...

I'm not sure where to even begin with the positive comments. I moved to Oak Park in July 2012 and started taking my then 14 year old Labrador to River Forest. I saw Dr. Caroline Menghini on my initial visit and she was great. I'd spent a lot of money on my old guy down in the city. Thousands of dollars to figure out what's wrong with a 15 year old dog (I know a total waste). But she immediately understood my situation. And did not push for chemo / ultra sounds, etc with a full understanding of the situation. She star... read more

Called this nearby vet after I couldn't get a Sat am emergency appointment at my own vet, PetVets, for an eye infection in my dog. They saw my dog (a completely new patient) that morning and Dr. Juhnke took his time to explain everything to me, run some simple tests and diagnose another condition (cherry eye). Total cost including tests/meds for infection was less than the price quoted for the office visit only at the emergency animal hospital in Berwyn. Called 4 days later to discuss scheduling the cherry eye surgery and... read more

I've been going to this vet for the past two years. They've always been able to get me an appointment quickly, the staff has always been super-nice, and I've always trusted their expertise. The one caveat to all of that, however, is that their prices are pretty darn high. My dog needs dietary supplements, and they charge me $43 for a container, whereas I found the same thing (same label, producer, ingredients, etc.) for $19 on Amazon. I understand that they pay for shipping and handling, and they're not a non-profit, but... read more

I've been using this vet for most of my life. I was just there today, and they are always so nice. They really care about the animals and will help you with anything you need. I tend to worry a lot, and they are great with explaining everything to me. I live in the city, but drive all the way to River Forest just to use this vet. Highly recommended!
