Broadway Animal Hospital

Dr. Kaz and his team are just amazing and I feel that there are not enough thank you’s to cover what they have done for me and my cats Munchkin and Munch (sadly passed away). Sadly, the first time I visited, it was to put one of my girls down and I was just in a terrible state, no sleep, up crying. I called them during this emergency, and they were so sweet & understanding and took her in that same day even though she had never been a patient of theirs, and she was able to pass in peace. Also, the staff there were so comforting, kind, and just pure angels, and helped me to accept her passing and move on much better. From walking in the door, to taking her in back and letting me stay with her till the end, they showed true compassion. But after her death, of course I was now worried about her sister, Munchkin, and scheduled an appointment for her immediately after her sisters death.
Let me tell you, they saved her life. Unknown to me, she was suffering from hyperthyroid disease, causing her to lose weight, act crazy and have a heart murmur. Dr. Kaz was so kind, called as soon as the results were in and explained everything, understood my situation, and helped my girl through this. Within a few months, I came back for her checkup today, and my girl is flourishing under their care and is doing great! From all of the experiences I’ve had with them in such a short time, I highly recommend Broadway Animal hospital and have passed on their information to a few friends and coworkers that were having issues finding a vet. The care they give is outstanding to both the pet and pet parent, and it is truly from the heart. So thank you so much again Dr. Kaz & staff from both me and Munchkin. We will always be a lifelong client of this clinic for not just Munchkin, but for all pets under our roof in the future. Thank you so much again.

Having satisfactory dealings with a vet in New Lenox for ten years, I did not imagine the level of service could actually go up. But it has! Broadway Animal Hospital is everything I think a good vet service should be: happy staff who are happy to see you, a gentle, patient vet (although Dr. Garza was standing in for Dr. Kaz, she is ‘the cat’s pajamas!’), and a painless process from setting the appointment to paying the bill. I will be highly recommending this facility to anyone I know who has pets. It is refreshing to find people who truly enjoy their work and love animals. A special shout-​out to Alma, and, Sara, for being especially courteous, polite, friendly and accommodating, and to Dr. Garza, who is a great listener and an excellent storyteller as well!

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Kaz for many years now and we could not be happier. We trust Dr. Kaz and he’s also maybe the MOST compassionate doctor we know. Several of our dogs have had some issues and Dr. Kaz gets this totally. I honestly don’t know what we’d do without him.
We also think his staff is top-​notch too.
Thanks, Broadway Animal!

I have been going to them for many years with multiple cats and dogs. Always quick appointments. No wait at visit and professional personable staff. Dr Kas is great at diagnosis and treatment.

Living in Edgewater, I wanted a easy to get to vet when I rescued my lab six years ago. A neighbor recommended Broadway Animal Hospital and Dr. Kas who treated her lab for years. We’ve had a great run there as my male dog always seems to have one thing of another going on. Recently, I discovered a lump and panicked, called in and got an appointment the next morning. Turns out my dog had picked up a tick running through the forest preserve chasing deer. Eeww gross for me but ooohhhh great for my dog! The tick was extracted by Dr. Garza who also conducted a body check on other ‘bumps’ I found. We were given a regimen of Rx and ointment (the latter at my request) as well as recommendations for general care with Epsom salt baths. Everyone loves my dog there — who drags me down the street to get there when we turn the corner on Broadway — and the care and concern of the team is great. Over the years, we’ve had a few bumps with follow-​up calls which I got over as I realized the consistency of vet care is great. Dr. Kas has been around for a long time and makes sure you understand what was done and why. He reluctantly accepted the fact that I cook for my dog and made sure I was included all food groups. He didn’t know the dog cook book I was using but has agreed it’s working as overall, my dog has had a clean slate for bloodwork and tests for more than a year now. I appreciate the care I receive, the attention that I get, the ability to use Care Credit there for vet bills and the warm welcome from all staff. My dog — and I – give Broadway Animal Hospital two paws up.

The Tooth Fairy (aka Dr Kas) left a dime for Chloe, my pooch, today. She had a cracked molar, and they took excellent care of her, as usual. Super nice and helpful staff, always making sure you leave with all your questions answered. She also saw Dr Garza for her shots and yearly exam, and she was great too. Small neighborhood vet hospital, unpretentious, we have been taking our pooches there since 2009, totally recommended.

I had a great experience taking my dog for a visit here. It’s really hard to find a place that is clean and actually love animals, and they were excellent with my baby. She is a bit snippy sometimes but they made her feel special. They are patient and they listen, best place to take your pets.

Alright I’m about to go on a tangent but I am so impressed with this animal hospital! I just moved to Edgewater and in the stress of moving both of my cats got really sick. One is 3 months old, who I recently adopted from a shelter and the other is a year old. I called Monday morning hoping to get them in soon, and there was an appointment that afternoon. I felt really bad having to pick which cat to bring in, as they were both miserable, and ultimately decided on the kitten since he’s a baby. When I arrived I think I waited tops 5 minutes to see the vet, who was able to diagnose my kitten with an upper respiratory infection and prescribe medication. I mentioned my other cat, and right away he asked to see pictures of her symptoms (which I obviously had, being a cat lady) and was able to prescribe her antibiotics as well! It was such a relief! Now both cats are on meds and on their way to a speedy recovery. I would hands down recommend this animal hospital to anyone and am so grateful to live close by!

Unfortunately, the reason for my visit yesterday was because I saw a cat fall from a window of a retirement home while I sat and had dinner across the street on a patio. The poor cat seemed to suffer from its injuries and after many attempts to call animal control, tell staff of the retirement home, and wave down an officer… no one was able to help. Luckily a young lady walking by saw the cat as well and was very concerned. She knew of Broadway Animal Hospital around the corner and we decided to take the cat to Broadway Animal Hospital. She called them to see if they would take the cat, and although they were going to close in a few minutes they still accepted.
We made it there and the whole staff including Dr. Kas quickly attended us and all seemed so concerned. Sadly, it was too late the poor cat didn’t make it. Although we were not the owners he was very sympathetic and told us the cat had passed. I’m sure he knew it was gone as soon as he saw it but he still checked for its heart and pulse. The whole staff seemed to be sad as well… they were all gathered around us. He told us there will be no charge just if I could notify the owner.
When emergencies like this happen I think it really shows peoples true nature and especially the whole staff at Broadway Animal Hospital. They were awesome despite the unfortunate circumstances. I have a dog and I will be taking it here for future vet visits. If something ever happened to my baby I would want the attention and care that Dr. Kas and the whole staff at Broadway Animal Hospital had.

Great with taking a new patient on very late notice. We had to change our appointment literally three times and they were surprisingly accommodating. The doctor was really good with our hyperactive-even-when-he’s-sick dog. They also didn’t take advantage of us financially which was a welcome change. Excited to have a new, reliable vet close to home!

I’ve been taking my cat to Broadway Animal Hospital the past few years until recently when she passed away suddenly from a rapidly declining lung condition.
When Dr. Kas was informed of my cat’s passing he called me personally to say he was sorry and really comforted me in my time of mourning… I really appreciate that quality of service. I have had nothing but great experiences when I took my kitty in for checkups. When I’m ready to adopt another furry life companion, I’ll gladly take them there for checkups.

I stumbled upon Broadway Animal Hospital after wanting to get my cat in on a same day Saturday to check a purple bump on her gums. A vet closest to me wouldn’t take her and I’m so glad they didn’t! Broadway squeezed me in between other patients and after they told me it was normal they called me the next day just to check up.
Well now I’ve gotten her blood work done here and spayed and she’s doing great! She’s back to attacking my toes while I sleep in just one day. I also was able to get microchipping done (and other services) at a 50% discount for doing it at the same time!
It’s not a fancy vet just simple and small which to me makes it a much more homey environment. All the staff from receptionists to techs and doctors have been great. I feel like they really care about the pets more than the money.

Great Vet’s and a great location for us Rogers Parker’s. Very friendly and attentive tour pets and our needs. Answered our questions and were sure to make sure we were satisfied. Our cats seemed to like them as well. Decent location on Broadway but parking is only street parking.

Dr. Kas and the staff here are incredible. I recommend all the way.
My dog was hit by a car, and the ER held him for three days. We were assured he wouldn’t need surgery. However, after bringing him in to see Dr. Kas, it was determined the surgery should have been performed days ago. The doctor rushed to get my dog in the next day, was incredibly kind and patient to both animal and owner, and has been remarkable with each follow-​up visit.
Can’t speak highly enough about this place.

Highly recommended.
The level of care and concern for my kyit from all techs and Drs. — and Dr. Kas in particular — make this a place you can trust with your pet. It’s plain to see that these are people who love animals and are genuinely concerned with their well being.
I can only echo what others have said about Dr. Kas’ sincerity, and the hit-​or-​miss interaction with the front-​desk personnel (mine have been «hit» for the most part, with very few «misses»).

I hate to do this, but I feel that I have to. I had limited experience with Broadway Animal Hospital as my cat had just one check-​up there in September 2013, which was fine, before having a more critical visit last week. The critical visits are the ones where your experience really counts, though. First off, Dr. Kaz was not in as he was on vacation, so we saw a relief vet. I am not faulting them for this, everyone needs a vacation and it was Friday before Labor Day weekend. However, it was clear that my cat was not doing well, so they ran blood work and urine tests. I was told that I would be contacted with the results the following day (Saturday). Staff confirmed my phone number multiple times with me.
However, I never received a call on Saturday. They close at 2 pm on Saturdays, so I finally called myself at 1:55 pm. I was told that they only had partial results and would call me Tuesday morning as they would be closed for Labor Day. This was extremely frustrating, especially because I could tell my cat may not make it until Tuesday, and I was going out of my mind trying to figure out what the issue was.
I ended up taking my cat to Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital in the S. Loop that evening because I was very concerned. I had to put him down that night as the doctor there is able to do blood work in house and discovered he was suffering from kidney failure. He would not have made it until Tuesday had I waited to hear from Broadway Animal Hospital.
Lastly, Metropolitan told me they would fax Broadway to inform them of the news so they would not call me on Tuesday with his test results that no longer mattered. I truly appreciated this gesture as I had been dreading that phone call. However, I was still contacted by Broadway on Tuesday morning informing me of my now deceased cat’s results. I don’t know whose fault this was — either they never received the memo or failed to read it. I’m not sure. Regardless, I will not be coming back here when I adopt pets again. My cat was the most precious thing to me and I did not feel that we were treated in a sensitive manner when it mattered the most.

Dr. Kaz is kind and generous. I do not feel pressured to spend. He helped my mother euthanize her cat when the cat’s quality of life deteriorated beyond repair. Staff and physicians are oddballs and they are themselves, and that sincerity resonates with animals and people alike. Do not come here is you need a fancy façade in office space or provider. Come here if you want care from people who love animals.

They were sweet to my kitten but not to my child, in fact one of the nurses screamed at my 1.5 year old for touching the vent on the wall (and honestly it wasnt going to break or hurt him) so loudly that she scared him and he cried for a good 30 minutes. I complained to their manager and never got a follow up call or anything. We never went back.

My first visit here was about 7 years ago when I had a turtle with a case of worms. I searched for a place that was reptile certified, and this was the closest. They treated my turtle with kindness and compassion. Not a reaction you expect when your pet is a lizard in a shell. They tested the worm eggs, prescribed some medicine that was to be fed to her in a syringe, and even showed me how to do it and gave me pointers to make it easier. They were extremely helpful and the cost of the medications was reasonable.
So when I adopted an 8 wk old kitten, I decided to try this place again. Everyone that has helped me here, from the nurses to the doctors, have been kind and even very affectionate towards my little kitten. They were able to make sure the contract with Wrightway was fulfilled by faxing them information they needed, and they made sure my kitten was up to date on her shots. They went beyond by comforting my nervous kitten with toys and kitty massages – even kisses. The people here really love pets, and that’s a great thing to experience at a vet – people who not only do their job well, but do it with passion.
Dr. Kas as well as the other vet treated my kitten, and both were very kind. Dr. Kas even gave me a free bag of treats that he was giving my kitten during the visit.
This animal hospital is welcoming to people and pets, and I will bring all my pets here. I recommend giving them a try.

I recently rescued a puppy and needed to find a great vet to take her to. I was extremely nervous because I have had terrible experiences with my pets in the past being nervous, anxious, and scared whenever they came anywhere near a vet.
Dr. Kas was great! My little girl really liked him and she enjoyed the fact that he gave her so many treats! We did not have that much information on her past medical history (since she was a rescue) and they did everything they could to find out some more details.
They also informed me about registering your pets with the City of Chicago and the Dog Friendly Park tags that are required. I had no idea! I have seen other people’s reviews for parks and vets stating their vets never mentioned these requirements so I am very happy Broadway Animal Hospital did!
I definitely recommend you give them a chance! :)
