I have taken both my dogs to Hometown Vet and they were received promptly and with care. Dr Samuels is gentle with my scared girl and really made us feel comfortable and cared for.

The very first visit to Hometown Vet in Schaumburg was so satisfying & reassuring. Our 2 mixed-breed rescues are now 10 years old. We contacted Dr. Makofski about worrisome aging issues. They both needed numerous teeth removed & each have their own cognitive issues.
First, Dr. Makofski intently listened to our description of the problems with each one of our fur babies. Her assessment superpower is maintaining eye contact with each one of us as dog parents! She outlined all steps & aftercare of the surgeries, appropriately using humor to reassure us. Her “bedside manner” is impeccable.
Second, Dr. Makofski made it clear, in her explanation of treatment options & possible procedures, that we, as anxious dog parents, thoroughly understood the whys & what fors of everything. She was consistently patient & caring.
Third, Dr. Makofski gave us names of natural remedies (telling us where to purchase them) & later contacted us to inquire about any results we saw, making further suggestions.
Finally, in addition to Dr. Makofski’s professional TLC, EVERY staff member at Hometown Vet in Schaumburg showed special attention & care to our dogs! You can be certain that the professionals at this clinic won’t miss a single beat in giving excellent attention to your pets’ needs in sickness & in health.

I can’t say enough good things about this clinic. It’s neat and clean, great employees that are awesome with my animals. Dr.Makofskj is AMAZING! She is by far the BEST Vet I’ve ever had for my pets. She is very kind and compassionate and always goes the extra mile. Thank you Dr.Makofski!

This is not an emergency vet! They do not handle bad cuts on dog as I am sure it is the same with cats. I took my dog there after she had cut herself in the backyard pretty bad, they couldn't help and couldnt even recommend another place in the area. There are much better choices for urgent care in the area. This was just a waste of my time even though they state they handle cuts/emergencies on the website.

Amazing experience for my cats, both for preventative care and for urgent care. Today my kitten had surgery and it went great and her incision is beautiful. You can tell they love animals and that makes a huge difference.

I couldn't be happier... we are new to Knollwood Hospital and I'm so glad that I brought my Ruby here... she's skittish and apprehensive (she's a rescue) so it was really important to me to find a Vet who had a nurturing demeanor. I was so impressed with the patience, care, and concern of the staff. I'm very happy and thankfully, Ruby is doing so much better. Thank you, Knollwood!!!! You have a new fan

If you're looking for a veterinarian who truly cares about your pet's well-being and takes the time to address your concerns, Dr. M is the best choice. Her practice is top-notch and her staff is highly trained and professional. I highly recommend Dr. M and her team!
