Dr. Suter was incredibly supportive during a health crisis with our beloved dog.

I'm so happy I found Odette - she is a wonderful veterinarian. I fostered my dog starting Sept 2015…read moreand when I started Odette's program in April 2016, my pup had had constant diarrhea for who knows how long. I went to his regular vet multiple times, was prescribed expensive prescription dog food, lots of medications, etc, but nothing helped. On top of that, he was gaining weight. He was 35lbs when I first brought him home ballooned up to 50lbs (too much for a dog his size). He was also extremely anxious, stressed, and very fear aggressive. The first thing Odette did was do blood work and saliva tests. Lo and behold, my dog was allergic to chicken! The main ingredient in his prescription food. Under Dr. Suter's care, I learned all about animal health and nutrition. My dog's anxiety and stress is getting much better as well. She also did some chiropractic work on him (he skips on his back legs) and he's now doing so much better than I could have ever thought. Odette does AMAZING work and her goal isn't just to fix your animal's symptoms. She works to fix their overall health as well. She teaches you on animal health, with up to date statistics and information, and strives to help you become an educated pet parent. I'm so thankful to have found her! Absolutely love Odette and highly recommend her to everyone.

I checked Amazon during the 2nd cycle and it cost $30 per dose. I was upset and I let their new, unexperienced vet know how I felt. Fly forward 15 years and my current boy had been experiencing rashes and scabs. The owner of the richmond vet clinic told me on a phone call that he wouldn't offer care for my sick dog because I "upset" one of his new hires over 15 years ago. If you feel like being ripped off, by all means, frequent this fraud of a veterinarian. Personally, I wouldn't trust them with a garden slug.

When I first started seeing them, I was fresh out of college with a newly adopted cat. I had only had him a few months and he started having troubles with bladder crystals. I didn't have a lot of money for treatment, but they helped me stretch my dollar and heal my cat. Years later I adopted an standard poodle. Any time he has a health issue, Healing Oasis is there to check him out and soothe my fears. Dr. Shawn has even come in on his days off for follow up check ups! They are wonderful folks that provide wonderful treatment. If you have a pet of any kind, the Healing Oasis is where you should take them for all of their health needs!

It was very nice that Dr. Aubrey got down on the floor with Zoey during the visit because Zoey seemed very relaxed with Dr. Aubrey. This was amazing and never have I seen this before: Zoey was given some baby food on the licking tray so she never even felt the shot being administered. It was very nice that Zoey is distracted while her shots are being administered because it is so sad to bring in an animal to the vet and have them shaking or shirking because they are scared. It is very nice that Zoey's shots will be staggered so we can tell if she reacts to any of them and that titer tests will be done so we know if she has immunity. We felt very comfortable with the staff and Dr. Aubrey - and the plan going forward for Zoey for the next year.

We've been to 5 different vet clinic's the past 2 yrs, dealt w/ 9 different veterinarian's from the city to the suburbs. Coming here was the best decision I could have ever made for my dog. It was a worse case scenario, my puppy was so itchy she was scratching herself till she bleeds, had no hair on her face & most of her body. Followed all of Dr. Arielle's instructions & my dog has almost fully recovered. We are forever grateful to her! She's the best of the best & will treat your pet like her own!

The Vet said to bring him back for yet another surgery to fix it! This is a horrific surgery and recovery protocol. Finley had his first hematoma as a kitten, and when this happened again, now with the other ear, we considered putting him down to spare him the pain and misery. I cried thinking of how he suffered during the first recovery protocol. Dr..Siwek sent me home with homeopathic hemorrhoid cream. I was to spread that on his ear, 3 times a day. We saw results after the first day. Within 2-3 days the fluid had been re absorbed by his body, no swelling, no "pillow" in his ear, and we never had another problem with this ever again. Needs to be homeopathic and a cream, not an ointment. Hard to find these days! It will eliminate the need for this awful and expensive surgery for animals Thank You Dr.Siwek! God Bless!

I brought my pets to Dr Katz in 2017 and it's taken me years to construct a calm review, based on facts. Read the negative reviews about Natural Pet in Bourbonnais - in my experience, they're accurate. This practice used to be owned by Dr Karen Becker who had a thriving holistic practice in Bourbonnais. Dr Becker sold it to Dr Katz... This was my experience: *Dr Katz set a timer so we were talking over one another trying to beat the clock like a bad game show. *I was charged 50 for 15 minutes was way too expensive - even for a holistic vet. *She misdiagnosed ringworm twice, resulting on it spreading to myself and my children. *The examination rooms and scales were not clean, or not cleaned between animals. She examined my kittens on the floor, (there weren't tables in the room), where there was other pet hair. Pet hair on the small scale too. *She refused to answer my calls and provide guidance after ringworm had spread to my other kitten - even though I had paid her for two other vet visits where she failed to diagnose it. *When my kitten was vomiting later that night after being seen by Dr Katz, she would only respond via text - would not answer the phone even though I was willing to pay for after hours guidance. *I saw Dr Katz yell at her employees. *Her employee spoke poorly about Dr Katz behind her back. *The operating room looked like a dark, janitor's closet. *The place only has hours three days a week...what do you do if your pet needs to be seen the other half of the week? *Refused to honor or acknowledge a $20 off new patient coupon after I realized it hadn't been applied at my first visit. (I called later about it.) Bottom line, in my opinion, there are professional, compassionate, and reasonably priced, holistic veterinarians in the area - skip this one. (It took me a long time to construct this review as I didn't want it to be based on emotions - and there were many negative emotions I needed to sort out. I would be surprised if there wasn't a response attempting to attack my character, however, I have proof my review is accurate and factual and can post pictures if deemed necessary.)

So on Sunday when he was more relaxed I was looking over the bill and I was in shock it was almost double the price. So on Tuesday I called to ask why the price was so much higher than the estimate they said she would have to talk to the Dr and manager so I waited. On Wednesday I received a call from the manager which at 1st she asked what my question was and I was alittle upset because why wouldn't she know the reason why she was calling in the 1st place. So I explained it all again and there was part of the conversation that was silent but I waited because I was determined that no way I was paying almost double the estimate. So she did give me a credit which I expected and I was happy that they did give me a credit. The surgery went great and his test came back negative. Don't get me wrong I would pay what ever I needed to for Toby but when there is an estimate that was given before surgery I expected around that price not to be shocked after the fact. I've been going there before it was Banfield and I was alway happy so when this happened I was upset and surprised and Happy about how they handled it.
