Dr. Patricia Ho is a proud native of Chicago’s west-side and has been practicing veterinary medicine in general practice, emergency/urgent care, and specialty hospitals for over 15 years.

Dr. Patty enjoys getting to know pets and their families and loves seeing how animals can engender empathy and bring out the best in all of us. She is constantly inspired by the families and patients she serves and is passionate about client education and comprehensive care. Dr. Patty enjoys all aspects of the profession but is most fulfilled when able to piece together behavioral and medical problems and bring understanding and resolution to their concerns. She believes in treating the patient as a whole and is proud to offer conventional and non-conventional therapeutics (such as acupuncture) for specific conditions or overall wellness. Dr. Patty is dedicated to partnering with families and providing them with the best options to help bring comfort, healing, and clarity.

With an extensive following from the many Chicagoland clinics she’s served, she is proud to offer high-quality medicine, surgery, and preventative care to the historic Pilsen neighborhood and surrounding communities. Outside of work, Dr. Patty and her husband enjoy chasing their two young sons around the local parks and exploring the city’s food scene. She shares her home with a semi-feral cat who is (slowly) warming up to the idea of more pets.
