I hate this place. I'm giving them one last chance to do right by my dog Gage. This is technically…read morethe 2nd bad review I've given this office and this time, I'm not taking it down until I'm completely satisfied that this office can do better. Every time I've needed something from this office, they've failed me. I've been using this vet for over a year and I *thought* Gage was covered for all his preventions. After 3 visits and nearly $2000 later I realize that--no, he wasn't. He wasn't covered for hook- or heartworms for that entire year. All because they didn't include that medication in his medication portal--even though we talked about it and I brought up his past preventions. I didn't notice this was an issue because the meds I *did* buy came with the logo of the one I apparently didn't and even the vets and doctors didn't catch it. Now my dog is in a revolving door of gastrointestinal issues and NONE of the medications this vet has prescribed seem to work. Not only this, but every time I come into this office they try to upsell me on something I've never asked for, things I've never heard of, supplements I don't need, etc. Before ever getting the meds I asked for, this vet tried to get me to pay for 2 different supplements that I've never heard of. Big surprise, on a recent trip, I forgot to bring those supplements but did bring the arthritis meds and lo and behold, the meds work and the supplements weren't necessary. Just several hundred dollars down the drain. This office literally has ONE LAST CHANCE to not completely let me down. If I don't leave my next visit 100% happy and with a noticeably healthier dog, I'm changing vets, and might even consider a lawsuit. Seriously, how do you leave my dog UNPROTECTED FROM PARASITES FOR A FULL YEAR while charging me thousands!!?

We had a full new patient exam, 5 vaccinations, blood test done in under 30 min. Explained each parameter of the exam and commented as he went along.

Answered all my questions about the preventatives and any follow up that needed to be done. All I felt were very reasonably priced. Most of all, I felt comfortable knowing Dr. Nate and his staff were taking good care of my little guy. They were very flexible with scheduling which I appreciated since my schedule can change radically day of due to work. They do have Saturday hours.

I want to leave a healtfelt review for Apex Vets. I brought my cat here twice during emergencies…read moreand they treated both her and me with such kindness and compassion. The first visit, they admitted her for emergency care, gave an honest breakdown of anticipated costs (and a refund when the cost was lower than expected), invited me to call with any questions or if I wanted an update, and offered to let me visit her in the clinic as much as I wanted. A few weeks later, my cat's health declined late at night and I had to make the difficult decision to euthanize her. Unlike the other specialists she saw, who were pushing for expensive and painful interventions, Apex gave a balanced view regarding the seriousness of her condition, her level of suffering, and my options. When it came time to say goodbye, they could not have been more supportive. They stabilized my cat and put me in a private room with as much time alone to say goodbye as I wanted. The room even had a separate exit so I didn't have to walk back through the lobby while I was crying. The vet was so compassionate and told me stories about her own pets. Afterward, Apex connected me with a cremation/memorialization service and I was able to select the services I wanted via the website. The combined cost of euthanasia and cremation was 2-3 times cheaper than the at-home euthanasia services I'd heard about from friends and was so peaceful and supportive. I never thought I'd go to an emergency clinic for euthanasia, but honestly think that if I ever had to do this again I might go here rather than my normal vet due to the wonderful staff and private space. These little details really matter during such a hard time.

Excitement takes over the moment we pull up; my little boy actually leaps out of the car and races for the front door, eager for the warm attention he always receives. Dr. Katie and her staff are fantastic, maintaining high professional standards while working directly on the dog's level on the floor. Luca genuinely thinks it is playtime while Dr. Katie expertly examines him through interaction and play. Hearing from the staff that my pupper is such a good boy during treatments--and doesn't even blink at vaccinations--provides total peace of mind because it is clear he feels completely safe in their hands.

EVERY single staff member is so friendly and caring and seem to love my dog as much as I do! I felt very comfortable following their suggestions and would recommend them as a 10 out of 10! The office is immaculately clean with lovely, soothing colors and artwork in all the rooms. And the rooms all have pet-friendly sofas so the furry patients can get comfy next to their owners! I cannot recommend them more highly!

Over the course of my lifetime, spanning seven beloved dogs over the past 30 years, I struggled to find the perfect veterinarian--moving from practice to practice until, over 20 years ago, I was lucky that I found Dr. Hambright and his practice. Dr. Hambright has far exceeded every expectation I ever had for "the perfect veterinarian." His unparalleled knowledge and compassionate bedside manner have been a source of comfort and trust for both me and my pets. It is difficult to imagine finding another veterinarian who matches his expertise, earns my trust so completely, and whose practice embodies such excellence. While I wish Dr. Hambright a well-deserved and joyful retirement, his absence will be deeply felt by all who have had the privilege of knowing and relying on him. He is truly a gem in his field, and his friendly demeanor and exceptional care will be sorely missed. Thank you, Dr. Hambright, for over two decades of outstanding service and dedication. Your impact on the lives of so many--both human and canine--has been immeasurable. I am forever grateful. Enjoy your retirement with good fortune, happiness, and good health.

Overall, we had a decent experience getting a doggy check up at Wheaton Animal Hospital. Dr…read more Johnson and the vet assistant were very professional and provided great advice for our recently adopted pup. Both were very easy to speak to. Also, I really appreciated the fact that they did not try to recommend (rather force) 80 million "unnecessary" things for our pup. For the most part, making an appointment was fairly simple and we only had to wait about 1.5 weeks for routine checkup. Similar to other places, you have to provide a deposit to confirm the appointment; I think the deposit was around 88 bucks. Unfortunately, I don't believe they have an online system for making appointments so you would have to call for scheduling. I think this was fine, but since you have to pay a deposit to confirm your appointment, I prefer not giving my CC number over the phone. But, hey, it is what it is. For the most part, check in was easy. However, I have to admit that I was slightly annoyed bc the receptionist indicated that the office had not received our dog's health records from his prior vet and animal rescue. About a week prior to our appointment, I emailed the documents and even called a few days after sending these documents to confirm receipt. That said, the receptionist mentioned that the office recently switched to a new system, so I'll brush that off as a technical glitch. Also, since this was our dog's first visit, I don't think we will need to worry about this in the future because he now has a record at this animal hospital. But if you are a 1st time visit, definitely call to confirm receipt of your animal's records and maybe even bring a hard copy with you to the first visit. My experience was vets in the area is limited. However, I thought the prices here were a bit cheaper than the previous vet we visited. Oh! As of July 2025, 1st timers will receive a $50 discount.
