PetVets Animal Hospital

For more than 30 years, Dr. John Brancel has been treating animals with medicine. Dr. Brancel developed and ran Midtown Veterinarian, a business that made home calls for animals and provided relief coverage for other veterinary practices, before launching Prairie State Animal Hospital in Oak Park. After receiving his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois, he was first assigned as the Chief Veterinarian at the Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago in 1982.
