Greetings to our clients, friends and colleagues,
The time has come that I must inform you that we will be closing the Lincoln Park Dog and Cat Clinic. We have proudly served our community for more than 60 years and I want to thank all of you for your support.
I love being a veterinarian, it is the best job in the world. However, it is time for me to move to the next chapter of my life. Due to my age and health issues I can no longer manage daily practice life. I cannot give 110% and be on my best game, so I will not continue.
The Covid 19 pandemic also played a role in this decision. It decimated the job applicant pool and we have been short staffed and unable to successfully fill our open positions for many months. We cannot continue to operate with limited hours and limited staffing.
The last day for patient care at Lincoln Park Dog and Cat Clinic will be Monday, July 31, 2023. Our business office will remain open until September 30, 2023 for records transfer, questions and referrals.
Dr. Margaret Post, an extraordinary veterinarian, is moving to a new clinic. She is joining GoodVets, Streeterville https://goodvets.com/locations/chicago/streeterville
I am happy for Dr. Post and sad to be losing such a wonderful friend and colleague. I wish her much success. Dr. Post’s last day is July 26, 2023.
Some of you have been with me since I began my career in 1988 and a few more have been with us when my dad and even Dr. Pravitz managed this clinic. I’ve always been so grateful for the trust you placed in us to care for the furry members of your family. We strove to provide the best humane veterinary care in our clinic as well as access to cutting edge technology in our referral partners.
It’s been an incredible journey. We enjoyed knowing each of you and your precious pets. There are not enough words to describe what your trust in us means.
Thank you for all your kindness, laughter, tears and learning through the years.
Sincerely,
Susan L Ferraro, DVM
