Our Staff

We employ a full time staff of receptionists, veterinary assistants and kennel personnel. Unlike some other veterinary clinics that employ predominantly part time staff, we feel that our employees get to know you and your pet better. All of our staff is dedicated to making your companion feel that the Morton Grove Animal Hospital is a great place to visit!

We encourage our patients to participate in our unique treat break program. We take the fear out of vet visits by having you stop by with your pet for a friendly pat on the head and a treat. Please call ahead to make sure we can personally greet your special friend.

Education

All members of our staff attend numerous seminars each year. Each year our veterinarians far exceed the continuing education hours required by the State of Illinois. By keeping our staff educated in the latest veterinary technology, we can provide the best care possible. We enjoy answering your questions and helping to guide you in making the best decisions for your pet.
