The River Forest Animal Hospital was originally built by Dr John Gillespie in 1952. At his death, Dr Lawrence M Fox and Dr Wayne Juhnke renamed the Gillispie Animal Hospital to the River Forest Animal Hospital. They built a beautiful new building just one block east of the original location in 1999.
We are located just east of the Jewel foodstore and share Jewel's parking lot.. There's a map at the bottom of the page with a link to driving directions.
