My family had always gone to Dr. Sackman for their cats. I just moved back to Frankfort after living out of state for 7 years. In that 7 years, I got my dog. I have been to a few vets in two other states, and I have never met someone so thorough in the information and explanation that they gave. I appreciate it so much and know I can trust her completely. Additionally, the entire staff was sweet and so professional.

This vet is incredible. When I moved down here she was recommended to me from a fellow animal loving friend. The vet's love and concern for animals is unquestionable. She is up front about costs and very open discussing different options. I truly feel like my pets are in the best care with her. All that being said, pricing is great. She slightly cheaper than the vet I used to go to and that wasn't even part of my decision to go her.

Dr. Dawn has been our Vet for about 20yrs. She saved the life of my brothers dog Gretta, extended the life of my dog Kelly and now takes great care of our current dog Louie. She is so knowledgable and goes above and beyond expectations of a Vet. We love Her, the new location and her staff. It says something positive about a practice that keeps the same staff for years. Tracy is amazing!

I have 20 years of experience dealing with Dr. Sackman and her staff. Simply put, Dr. Sackman runs an outstanding facility. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate and we are completely confident in her ability to diagnose and treat. The staff is courteous, helpful, and caring and a pleasure to deal with as well. I live near this facility but would continue to have my animals treated at this hospital even if it were not convenient. I cannot speak highly enough about this compassionate group. Dawn's an excellent diagnostician as well. A very very skilled practitioner.

We have used Sackman for many years and highly recommend her and her staff. She has taken care of many of my dogs and I have always experienced nothing but professional care. Dr. Sackman always returns calls and if she is busy she is sure to have one of her staff return the call. She always fits in a sick dog and goes out of her way to do so. We love her new location and office. beautiful!

I wanted to share our truly POSITIVE EXPERIENCE with this company. Our daughter's dog had run away when were outside in her yard watching our 2 year old grandson and we could not chase after the dog. A nice young couple later had found the dog running down the highway and stopped to pick it up. the couple brought it to the Sackman Animal Hospital for safe keeping as that is the animal hospital where they take their pets.
The Sackman animal Hospital then contacted the Mokena police to report they had the dog and the Mokena police department then called us. Even though the animal hospital closed at 5:00 pm they stayed and waited until we arrived at 600 pm. The words "THANK YOU" to the animal hospital and the Mokena Police Department seem inadequate but we feel that other people should know of this act of kindness. the world is a much better place with fine people like this willing to help others! THANK YOU TO THE SACKMAN ANIMAL HOSPITAL AND THE MOKENA POLICE DEPARTMENT Charles and Gail Commerford

My family has had all of our animals (over 7) treated at Sackman Animal Hospital since their opening in 2000. We are customers and not related to Dr. Sackman and are very satisfied with her as our veterinarian. Dr. Sackman is a very competent veterinarian and treats every one of our animals as if they were her own. For those reviewers who say she is "always on vacation or absent, " my family has never had any problem scheduling appointments that work with our schedule. Dr. Sackman has helped our animals through allergies, spaying/neutering, as well as common injuries and life-saving surgeries.
She is tactful and caring especially when it came time to have to put two of our animals down. She takes her time and always explains what she has found in layman's terms so you always can understand the diagnosis and options. Her staff is efficient and helpful, and her office is always clean and tidy. Dr. Sackman is attentive, caring and very good at her job.

I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Sackman loves my dog as if it were her dog. She gives the best care, is highly knowledgeable, and has been there to help us through everything from puppy-hood to having to say goodbye to our dear pets. I only wish yelp had more stars for me to give them! I'm so glad we found Dr. Sackman.

I went to look for Dr. Sackman's office number and happened to see the low ratings for her and had to stop to review her. I do not work for Dr. Sackman. Nor am I friends with her or a relative. She simpy is our vet. I/we have had four dogs and four cats for many years, so needless to say we've seen her for various things over the course of 12 years.
I've never found her to be anything but caring, attentive and down to earth. If she can't get you "in", many times they will offer for you to drop the animal off and Dr. Sackman will examine them in between surgeries or appointments and call you with what she's found. She never "does" anything without calling you first, sensitive to cost factors for most people.
She always gives us the facts and options and lets us decide. Never is pushy or judgmental about what you should or shouldn't do for your animal. Her staff is always considerate and compassionate. I just wanted to post another side to the story.

We have a new kitten. She is about the age to get spayed. Since this vet was close to my home, I thought I would call to get pricing. I was told - they do not give price quotes over the phone because the Doctor believes that people should come to her facility because of the outstanding care they provide. I thought, wow - I can't even determine if I can "afford" her care - but I can make a $48 office visit to be told the price and then if I can't afford it - I get to leave - $48 lighter.
I am thinking they are probably over priced and work on the notion that once people are there - they will just go forward with the care. I wouldn't recommend this place. Too many vets out there that give outstanding care and price quotes over the phone.
