I've been to a few different vets in chicago for cat care. The rates here are very good. You're not paying for a fancy decor and I've never felt that extra services or products were pressed on me. I've seen Dr. Basran and also Dr. Van Elzen. Some of the support staff seems really young (but are nice) so be prepared to ask follow up questions regarding meds and such. I think the drop-in (no appointments) feature is great too if you're going on a weekday morning.
