A dog and cat clinic established in 1987, Essington Road Animal Hospital has served the pets of Joliet and the surrounding area with care. Begun by Dr. Mamdouh H. Abou-Youssef, the current hospital was built in 1994 as demand grew. The hospital is now managed by his son Dr. Adam M. Abou-Youssef, BVM&S with associate veterinarian Dr. Christine Kilpatrick, DVM.

Our high standards enable us to provide the devoted care that your pet deserves. We know trusting your pet’s health with a stranger can be difficult, which is why we make our best effort to get to know our pet parents and patients on a more personal level. We implement diagnostic imaging alongside laboratory services to provide pet parents with a well-defined diagnosis. Should a veterinary emergency occur, we make our best effort to see pet patients promptly and provide care as soon as possible.
