Animal Clinic Of South Elgin

We are very satisfied long term clients of The Animal Clinic of South Elgin. Now that the new facility is operational, we enjoy the experience even more. The Dr. and staff are first rate, honest and fair. We would not even consider another vet - this is the best group to work with. more

This is one of the best animal clinics that I have ever worked with. We have owned 7 dogs over the years, and they have all been to see Dr. Churan at one point or another. Each time has been a pleasant experience. Nice people to work with, and the new clinic is fantastic. more

A few days ago I had placed a call to this clinic because my black lab had started drinking excessive amounts of water and throwing up all of it, of course it was almost closing time but I was told to bring her right in the care we got was excellent and the tests to determine her problem were right to the point and cost effective, Tilly is now on the road to recovery, for all the gripers out there lighten up, how many of us can go though each day without getting someone critical about us. great vet good staff & facility cost effective,. I would recommend this vet to anyone for their pet more

Good: I have used this clinic for many years as have my parents. I have taken many dogs and cats to Dr. Churan over the last 15 years, I find her and her staff are professional, courtious and knowledgable. I trust Dr. Churan with my stray cat and my show dog.. Bad: The old building that was recently demolished. Great new place!. Improvements: I would like to see this clinic become the area's 24 hour clininc.. Other: Great Job ladies. See you all soon.. more

My dog had a severely swollen leg and an open sore and was in terrible pain when I brought him in. At the initial exam Dr. Churan felt the problem was related to his arthritis. While he is old and arthritic this was clearly something different and I felt that she was not listen. She kept him for the day for observation and took blood. I was told to pick him up in the afternoon. When I did his leg looked worse and he was heavily sedated (presumably to shut him up since he was probably vocalizing his pain). I was sent home with pain-killers and strong arthritis medicine and told there would be no results from the blood work until the next day. $418 dollars to get the wrong diagnosis and NO relief from the dog's pain! A couple of hours after I got him home he was howling in pain and his leg was oozing pus. I took him to the Dundee Animal Hospital. In 20 minutes they made the correct diagnosis and began treating the problem immediately with anti-biotics and by draining the pus (unfortunately I had to pay for the x-rays again). She never called to check on him although she was notified by Dundee of the situation. If I had gone to Dundee first I could've almost that entire $418 bill to Dr. Churan. more
