What People Are Saying
"Dr. Joshi was incredibly helpful when I brought my dog Bailey in for separation anxiety and noise phobia earlier this summer. My dog trainer recommended her, and from the first visit it was clear she takes a thoughtful and thorough approach. The behavioral consult stood out the most. It was a full hour where we talked through Bailey’s history, day-to-day routine, and what we’d already tried. It didn’t feel rushed or scripted—just a real conversation about how to help him. We left with a clear plan that included medication options, changes to his routine to consider, and how this might align with what we were already working on with our trainer. Within a few weeks, we started seeing steady signs of progress. A big early win was the Fourth of July—normally a disaster for Bailey, but this year it was surprisingly calm thanks to the plan we had in place. Dr. Joshi also caught early signs of arthritis that could’ve been adding to his anxiety—something I hadn’t picked up on. She looks at the full picture and makes sure everything connects. She’s made a real difference for Bailey—and for me." - Mark
"Wagnolia is a personable, thoughtful, and communicative clinic. My dog had a dental exam there and throughout the procedure and after they checked in to see he was healing and made sure medications were working for him. They were flexible, provided options, and made us feel listened to. Huge thank you to Dr. O’Brian and Karina for their time and care!" - Madilyn Atkins
"Wow! The team at the clinic are incredible!! I was blown away by their compassion, understanding and patience. I moved to Chicago recently and my sweet 15-year-old pug was already showing signs that it may be time to say goodbye. We had never even been to Wagnolia when I called after a rough night when I knew she was ready. From the first phone call, every single person we spoke to and worked with was insanely kind. They were so understanding about the situation. They made the environment very calming and helped my sweet girl transition with ease. Then, to my surprise, when it was time to pick up her remains, the entire team signed a card all with personal notes that brought tears to my eyes. She's even memorialized in a hand-carved beautiful box with her name engraved. To Dr.Joshi and Emmett especially plus Karina, Sophie, Jackie, and Samantha, thank you for helping make such an incredibly difficult time a little easier. I appreciate you. You are a blessing more than you know. Much gratitude!" - Kristen Nelson
"Would recommend to anyone! The staff is incredible with my pup and take such great care of her. The vets answer all my questions and explain things clearly so I can understand what is going on. They don't push unnecessary procedures and are always crystal clear on what a procedure or appointment will cost. Could not recommend them enough!" - Amy Elliot-Meisel
"Dr. Joshi and the team at Wagnolia have been wonderful for both of my dogs. We came to Chicago knowing that both girls had complicated medical histories, and we were nervous about finding a vet who would be a good fit. Working with Dr. Joshi over the past few years has been a game changer. She recommended many preventative measures that have kept both girls healthier and happier, and have significantly lessened the chronic ear and skin infections they both previously experienced. I wholeheartedly recommend!" - Annika Wetherbie
"Wagnolia is AMAZING. I cannot say enough positive things about them. The staff is so friendly and patient and very thorough in discussing my cats health. Any time I speak with Dr. Joshi I feel so comforted in knowing my cat is being cared for by someone so through and genuinely caring!! She takes time to listen to concerns, and fully explain everything that’s going on (even though i’m sure her days must be packed full!!). They also give quotes in advance of how much service could cost from low-high end which I really appreciate as a student so I can prepare financially. I am so grateful for everyone there!!!" - Jordan Cowles
"Wagnolia is a wonderful veterinary clinic. I was with my best friend while she had to say goodbye to her cherished 15-year-old pug, and the staff at Wagnolia was so compassionate with the process. They really considered our feelings and her beloved pug's comfort during our time there. The process flowed gracefully, which helped ease some of the pain of saying goodbye. Many thanks to the amazing staff at Wagnolia Veterinary Clinic." - Laura G.
"My fiance Jeff and I could not have been more pleased with their kindness, communication, and overall care/concern for our puppy, Casey. As new dog parents, we greatly appreciated them being able to see her right away for an emergency check up and then continued to follow up with us via phone calls and emails to make sure she was doing okay. Dr. Joshi was professional and compassionate the whole time while speaking with us and we were so impressed with the fecal scoring chart that Roxana sent us. We will be highly recommending your clinic to our friends and cannot think of anything more that they could've done to better serve us. And to all the tech assistants that we interacted with- you all are incredible and we thank you so much for your help. We look forward to seeing you all at her "official" first appointment next week!" - Jamie Fishbain
"I absolutely adore the staff at Wagnolia. Everyone is so professional and helpful. They truly go above and beyond to ensure both of my dogs are healthy and well cared for. They’re truly the most attentive veterinary clinic I have ever visited and the only one I recommend to my friends. You can tell that the staff genuinely cares for the animals (and humans!) and I completely trust them! Dr. Joshi and Dr. Baehr are the greatest! Also, I have a crazy schedule and I really appreciate how easy they make scheduling appointments, ordering medications, or asking any follow up questions." - Jeanne Sullivan
