I've unfortunately had to take my little buddy here three times now and each time he has been taken care of and treated well. I came in sobbing once convinced my pet was dying and everyone was so calming and reassuring. Only thing negative thing I will say is it is really expensive. Between the three visits I spent over $350 on what could have been closer to $75 at a regular vet or the low-price veterinary clinic timber-trails. But unfortunately I haven't had the luxury of being able to go there as they've been closed for a month and have a month to go! That being said, can you really put a price on the value of knowing your pet is going to be okay and is getting the treatment they need? All in all, they're fast, prompt, patient, detailed, and always there if you have questions. This place has calmed my nerves so many times and I appreciate them so much. Ps: indoor cats can get tapeworms apparently! And its appalling and disgusting and not a good time so treat your indoor cat for fleas. :)

As an animal lover, I would bring strays in to get checked for chips. I brought my cat there once…read morebecause she wanted to fake a GI (gastrointestinal) problem. Over this past week, I've brought my guinea pig in 3 times for urinary tract issues and GI issues, it wasn't improving like any of us hoped. I had to let my fur baby go to rest and the staff was so supportive of my decisions. Dr. Thomas and the rest of the staff treat small animals like any other pet/family member and that is what has made this process of mourning a lot easier. If my rabbit ever needs to get looked at, I'm coming here. I'm even considering switching my dog and cat to them. Thank you so much for your time and assistance. It's very evident that you all have great bed side manner. Will recommend to everyone - 1 star because the prices suck honestly

I really like how patient she is and how she explains the dog's thought process and body language to help me understand what my dog needs. My dog used to be a lot more afraid going out in public but she's gained a lot of confidence since working with the trainer and I can tell she's a lot happier. Her prices were reasonable too

They have a diffuser with cat pheromones, calming spray on a blanket, cat toys, cat treats, and even CAT MUSIC Seems like a really legit and good place. Felt like a gucci vet or something. Not 5 stars cuz it cost me $200 for one visit I'm just glad my baby is gonna be okay.

We brought our much-loved 3-1/2 year-old mixed breed, Alice, to Striegel Animal Hospital for…read moreextraction of a broken tooth. A pre-op exam was done by Dr. Cressey, who found her fit and healthy. Surgery was performed 5 days later on a Tuesday. Alice initially appeared to recover normally, but by the following Sunday she refused food and became lethargic. As Striegel was closed, we took Alice to Lakeside Veterinary Hospital in Carbondale IL., where they determined that she was dehydrated and that her stitches had opened. Bloodwork indicated a low white blood cell count. The wound was cleaned, she was given fluids and anti-nausea meds. She was prescribed an antibiotic to be given only if she ate. We were advised to return to Striegel for follow-up. She would not eat and so we returned to Striegel the next day, Monday. Dr. Cressey examined her at length and said the extraction site was fine despite the missing stitches. Although blood test results were borderline, Dr. Cressey diagnosed pancreatitis based on abdominal sensitivity. We were told that simple anxiety could sometimes trigger such symptoms in a dog. Alice was again given fluids along with pain meds and an appetite stimulant. We we're instructed to feed her as best we could but not to administer the antibiotic unless she ate. We were not provided with an emergency telephone number or any recourse to after-hours immediate care. In the middle of the night, Alice's breathing became labored and she began to cry. We did our best to apply pain medication. At two-thirty on that Tuesday morning, as we drove toward the only 24-hour clinic we could find, two hours away near St. Louis, Alice died in my wife's arms. Three weeks later, I can still hear my wife crying as I write this. A necropsy was performed at the U of I Veterinary school but results were inconclusive. Striegel called to inform us that the invoice for that necropsy was ready a week before the report was returned. Like other doctors, veterinarians swear an oath upon graduation: primum non nocere, first do no harm. Striegel did irrevocable harm to our Alice, deep and lasting harm to me and my wife. They did not provide the thorough, responsible care and follow-up we were promised and dutifully paid for. Alice was our best friend and constant companion. If you care for your pet as much as we did for her, you would be well advised to look elsewhere for a good veterinarian.

My sister adopted a kitty almost a year ago, and they still ask her about him every time we stop in. They all have a deep-rooted passion for their work and it shows.
