Heart of Chelsea Veterinary Group - Prospect Heights

I've been taking my cat here for almost a year now and they have exceeded my expectations every time! The staff are friendly and personable and it's clear they love their jobs & the animals they care for. I've seen Dr. Weston & Dr. Torchia and they both have been absolutely wonderful! I actually live around the corner from another vet clinic but choose to take my cat here because of the service I receive!

I’ve been coming to Heart of Chelsea since my dog Charlie was a puppy, and I’ve been seeing Dr. Trosha for the past eight years. Even though this location is far from where I live, I’m always happy to make the trip because I know Charlie is receiving sincere, compassionate, and expert care. Dr. Trosha is incredibly knowledgeable, deeply compassionate, and truly empathetic — you can feel how much he genuinely cares about the animals and the people who love them. I trust him completely and feel my dog is always in the best hands. I’ve recommended him to several friends, and they all feel the same. The entire staff is wonderful, and I’m so grateful to have found such an exceptional veterinary practice.

What a wonderful practice! The website is easy to use and there was plenty of appointments. The front desk was welcoming and attentive. My vet tech, Destiny, walked me through a cost estimate before we started the appointment so I could make informed choices. Dr. Torchia has great bedside manner and is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about pet care. The next steps for my pet were explained thoroughly and I feel confident in her upcoming surgery. Plus their insurance manager, Jennifer, is great in communicating costs and helping file claims.

They took such good care of my cat buttercup. I was very worried about my little bug and the whole team was super helpful. Bug was very comfortable there and they took such good care of her. Everything was explained and pricing was transparent the entire way. No surprise charges. Highly recommend. I also took my cat Wesley here for a checkup with his sister and it was just as great. My cats adore dr. Torchia and all the techs. Dr. Torchia personally called me with their blood tests. Edited to add that dr. Torchia is hands down the best vet I've been to and ive been to a lot of (mostly bad) vets. I've had dogs and cats for the last 26 years.

We were able to make a last minute appointment for a first ever visit with this office, as our senior dog was experiencing sudden serious health issues after we moved from Manhattan to Brooklyn. While it ended up being the start of the final days with our dog, the care and empathy that we received from Dr. Torchia and the team was second to none. They supported us and communicated with us throughout the few weeks we had left with Jack. This will be our very first stop when we find our next dog, no question.
