Pets Are Family at Medical District Veterinary Clinic
Pets are special members of the family, and that’s exactly how we treat them at Medical District Veterinary Clinic.
We are committed to offering the highest standard of care, based on the latest medical knowledge. But only you know what’s right for your pet and your family. We partner with you to deliver the care that best meets the needs of your situation.
Low-Stress Philosophy
Let's face it: vet visits can be stressful, for pets and their families. At Medical District Veterinary Clinic, we practice a low-stress philosophy to minimize anxiety and maximize safety for our patients and staff.
We are also a Cat Friendly Practice®. Our veterinary staff is trained to recognize when your furry friend feels tense or anxious and to respond with gentle care and compassion. This makes appointments a positive experience for everyone.
Connected to the University of Illinois
Medical District Veterinary Clinic is proud to be part of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. This affiliation allows our doctors and staff to tap into the newest veterinary knowledge and techniques, which ultimately benefits your pets. Boarded specialists in cardiology and dermatology who practice at the college come to our Chicago clinic regularly to see patients.
We also host current veterinary students so they can observe a state-of-the-art urban veterinary practice. Our patients and their families love connecting with the future generation of veterinary professionals.
Youth Outreach Commitment
We want to increase accessibility to and awareness of the veterinary profession among students of all ages. Two of our veterinarians, Drs. Ana Valbuena and Amanda Hampton, serve as coordinators of the Chicago-based Veterinary Community Outreach program.
This program, working with the assistant dean for inclusion and community engagement at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, seeks to engage and educate all prospective veterinary students, with a particular focus on historically underrepresented and underserved populations. We work through partnerships with Chicago-area schools and community organizations, such as animal shelters and veterinary associations.
Outreach events and programming encompass activities such as:
- Student job shadowing
- Veterinary career exploration events
- Visits to middle schools and high schools
- Hands-on experiences for undergraduate students
