Been a client for many years. However once Dr Contrares took over, i really found it go be a wonderful resource. I have found bith doctors and technicians to be professional, caring. They fully explain the issues and options. They follow up with calls to check on pet status. Then Dr C opened a Central Bark next door. It’s become a “ Pet Care Campus””. Central Bark staff lead by Lorraine are kind and caring. Great place to give your pet structured activities and interaction, get training and grooming. Liz, the groomer is terrific..You will nit regret having Dr C and his staff take care of your pet needs.Linda V.Linda V. ★★★★★ Always friendly and helpful!Bethany C.Bethany C. ★★★★★ Our dogs get wonderful care from Dr. Contreras and his staff at CSAH. We really appreciate them.Hollie Y.Hollie Y. ★★★★★ Been taking our menagerie there for 25 years and couldn't be happier. All the Doctors are skilled, patient, caring always have time to talk with you.Trust the entire team implicitly!Jim S.Jim S. ★★★★★ This is not my normal vet, but we had an emergency and our dog was actively choking with labored breath, and Carol Stream Animal hospital was the closest option. I walked in with my dog in distress; there was a tech up front who took one look at my pup and rushed to help. The receptionist helped me clean myself up, as my dog had an accident due to her distress. The receptionist took my information and got me settled while I waited. The tech checked back in with me for a history while the team worked to help my dog. Once my dog was no longer in immediate danger Dr. McCarthy came in and talked to me, she kept me informed on my dogs progress and was very personable and kind. Everyone was professional and caring during a very intense and scary situation. Both my dog and I got everything we needed out of the situation. Cannot commend them enough for acting fast when they noticed my dog’s condition and for keeping me informed while prioritizing my dog. I didn’t think I would be going home with my dog, but they made sure I did.jessica P.jessica P. ★★★★★ They have taken remarkable and compassionate care of my pups for over a decade now.Kirk W.Kirk W. ★★★★★ Staff is kind, helpful great with my cat.

A wonderful experience during a not-so-wonderful day!Kate P.Kate P. ★★★★★ Very nice people.Bill “.Bill “. ★★★★★ We called around the area to 8 animal hospitals when our cat swallowed a decent sized toy. 7 places were unable to do anything and said they were “booked”. Carol Stream animal hospital was also completely booked but understood the urgency, took our angry (he was vicious outside of our home) kitty and were able to help us get the toy out very kindly and efficiently. Extremely impressed and we have found our new vet going forward. Thank you!!Jeff N.Jeff N. ★★★★★ We absolutely love bringing out 2 cats here. Dr. Contreras is incredibly compassionate and takes the time to thoroughly answer any questions we have. The staff is also super helpful and caring. I highly recommend Carol Stream Animal Hospital to everyone.Kyle A.Kyle A. ★★★★★ We trust Dr. Contreras whole-heartedly. He is a kind, gentle, and comforting soul, that makes you (and you pet) feel at ease. He understands our love for our pet, and he relates. He always takes time to answer ALL our questions and make sure we feel good about the care we are receiving.Sonya B.Sonya B. ★★★★★ Took my dog here instead of her regular vet she sadly had to be put down due to health complications. They treated us and her with care and respect. They emphasized that we either way made a good decision for her. Thank you for your compassion and kindness in the tough time.Lauren M.Lauren M. ★★★★★ Always been wonderful with my animals. The level of care has always been excellent 🙂Sara J.Sara J. ★★★★★ I came in with no appt and not very much money and they were so kind to take me in and see me. I really appreciate it so much! I was getting turned down by so many places I just needed to make sure my kitty was okay! Regardless of the outcome, the fact the vet and team cared enough to just give me some peace of mind meant the world to me. Thank you for seeing Louie last minute and working with me. Seriously, Thank you guys so much.Amillia H.Amillia H. ★★★★★ I was a new client, panicking a little of course, and Diane was really great on the phone. She just kind of makes you feel like you're going to feel better, and everything's going to be okay. The nurse was gentle and thorough. Her calm helped my anxiety. She was kind and nice to talk to. The doctor I was going to see was just a little backed up, it was a BUSY Saturday morning after all. Another doctor stepped right up and gave my pet and I a wonderfully gentle experience. I sincerely appreciate the call back from the doctor to check on my pet today. It made me feel safe. Thank you to all the staff for being so good to me and my pet. We appreciate the great care beyond words. Thank you for everything you do!Ashley M.Ashley M. ★★★★★ The finest in care in the country as far as we are concerned! Dr. Contreras is an amazing man and doctor! And considers all animals “his babies”! Can’t say enough about his staff and facility either!L M Dunne W.L M Dunne W. ★★★★★ Dr C and staff are great and friendly.Tony L.Tony L. ★★★★★ Very attentive, kind and compassionate staff. I am lucky to have found them. Thank you!December S.December S. ★★★★★ Best experience I’ve had at an animal hospital. Staff was good, doctor was great!Brian S.Brian S. ★★★★★ Wonderful staff and doctors. Curbside service is a life saver for me and my reactive pups. Instead of trying to keep them from going crazy in the waiting area I can wait with them in my car until they call to let me know the exam room is ready. Fantastic! Also curbside pick for prescriptions. The facility is clean, updated and well organized. Calls are returned in a timely manner and appointment reminders are a nice touch. Highly recommend this clinic.Susan L.Susan L. ★★★★★ They take great care of my dogs!CC ★★★★★ I recently relocated to Illinois and I found this animal hospital near my home, so I am happy that I found a vet for my cats. Service was fast, staff were friendly and professional. The vet was very informative and treated my cat with a lot of care.A O.A O. ★★★★★ I am new to the area. I’ve asked friends and family if they were happy with their vet. No one could give me a definite answer. That was troublesome, since my babies (Shi-tzu’s) are our life.Most answers were I wanted someone that was close to home. So that’s what I did, I researched vet close to home the reviews said enough. My experience with Dr. McCarthy has been ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!The Entire staff from the 1st phone call through the meeting of the Doctor. I couldn’t be more pleased.Our babies are in LOVING hands!!Eva A.Eva A. ★★★★★ Curb side feature for health safety. Inform you all issues you pet is experiencing.Jeff S.Jeff S. ★★★★★ Went there for the first time with our first puppy together. The staff was very friendly and professional. You could tell that they took their job seriously just by how they cared for our fur ball. The questions that they asked, the answers to the questions that we asked..yeah..we were impressed. And so now it looks like we found our vet!Josh K.Josh K. ★★★★★ They are the reason my dog is still alive after an infection in her leg from a previous surgery. Also very kind and compassionate.Nicole H.Nicole H. ★★★★★ La atención y cuidado que le dan a tu mascota es increíble excelenteignacio de la M.ignacio de la M. ★★★★★ Really nice people and doctor 🐱Richard B.Richard B. ★★★★★ Over a month ago, I woke up to my pet chinchilla making a horrible noise. Anyone who has had an exotic pet knows that a good vet is difficult to find at the best of times. But she needed help and Carol Stream Animal Hopsital was literally only a few minutes away.They not only got me in the same day, they treated Norma Jeane as if she were their own pet. She ended up needing surgery a few weeks later after the initial problem was treated and Dr. Gonnering couldn't have been more helpful. She not only understood that Norma Jeane was family but that I was also concerned. My little furry one has made a complete recovery and I know it's in no small part to the wonderful staff there. From the receptionists to the techs, they all deserve a huge thank you.If I or anyone I know in the area needs a vet, I am definitely recommending Carol Stream Animal Hospital.Amanda S.Amanda S. ★★★★★ On Saturday morning May 15, 2021 our beloved dog Rex suddenly became gravely ill. Carol Stream animal hospital was the only veterinary clinic that made itself available to us because they offer urgent care appointments. They were wonderful with our dog and with us as we had to make a very difficult decision. Thank you, Dr. McCarthy & Olivia!Josie B.Josie B. ★★★★★ First time here and every part of the experience was excellent. They are well organized, and their staff are friendly and patient - doctor and front desk staff alike.

She had bladder stones. Surgery went well.They are kind of expensive but excellent service and communication skills with the doctors. Some front desk people are rude and in a rush when we called with questions a couple days after surgeryAna S.Ana S. ★★★★☆ Vet was pretty nice but the front lady attendant was pretty rude and not friendlyDébora L.Débora L. ★★★★☆ Allow us to be with our pets...
