★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I recently brought my 8-month-old Scottish Fold kitten, Sheba, to North Center Animal Hospital for her spay procedure, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received. Dr. Joshua Locher and his team were amazing from start to finish. They took the time to explain the procedure in detail and provided excellent post-operative care instructions. Sheba recovered beautifully without any complications, and I truly felt confident in the hands of the staff throughout the entire process. I highly recommend North Center Animal Hospital for their professionalism, compassion, and dedication to pets' well-being!
September 06 · borna maliWe've taken both of our dogs to NCAH for about 2 years now and I can't say enough good things about them. We've gone for regular check ups, injuries and last minute illnesses and they've always been accommodating and given excellent care. All their vets, vet techs and assistants are very knowledgeable and have treated our dogs with so much compassion and care (you can tell the really love animals and it's not just a job for them). I've been to other vets in the city and their pricing has always been reasonable. Very sad to be moving away from them and can't recommend them enough!
July 05 · Lauren YoungI love North Center! They got me in quickly when I thought one of my cats had a UTI. Dr. Leary was very kind as she examined my cats. She gave me all my options in terms of tests and costs and was overall so helpful during a very confusing time
August 26 · Clare HamiltonCan’t say enough about how kind and caring everyone is at North Center. They put my new 7 month-old rescue puppy at ease for his first exam, and patiently answered questions from this newbie dog owner. I highly recommend them!
May 10 · Christopher KrallOur two cats Mattie and Tsuki have been in the care of North Center for nearly five years. The care and attention of the entire staff, Assistants and Doctors is wonderful while you're in the office but it continues with follow up calls if the situation calls for it.Doctor Courtney cares for my daughters cats and the cats of many of our friends. We are all fans.
