We took a sick leopard gecko to this clinic as it was highly recommended for exotic pets. I don't think their staff is professional. While sitting in the waiting area, the receptionist snapped at these people and told them they were choking their dog(on leash). When in reality the dog was very excited and nervous as any pet that goes to the vet gets. The tech we had seemed very unsure of herself and I don't think she really knew what she was doing. She doubted the weight and told us the doctor could check for a parasite with special glasses which never happened because the doctor said he was too skinny. Also, we were not informed of the cost of treatment until after which cost over $100 including the visit. When we left the clinic and headed home, the gecko quit breathing. Took the gecko back and the doctor told us that indeed he had passed as well as telling my son and I that she could do an autopsy which she cut open the gecko and find out about the actual cause. I didn't think that this was appropriate telling a kid they cut open his pet after it had just passed away. Also the gecko still had his food in his throat when she checked. We will NEVER EVER take a pet to this clinic again. Their professionalism needs a lot of improvement.

BEWARE!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR RABBIT TO THESE PEOPLE!! Their current licence with the IDFPR was expired in 2004 and the primary vet there has a GENERAL license from IOWA due to expire in 2 years already. She claims to know about rabbits but doesn't even know the proper pre-op and post-op care instructions for them.

I lost my rabbit companion after bringing her to this place for a routine spay surgery. She didn't die on the operating table but died after since she was not prescribed ANY pain medication and I was told not to be concerned about her lack of appetite after surgery (never did they mention anything about possible risks from not eating). She died from something called GI stasis a couple days after the surgery.

We had the worse experience at Auburn Animal Clinic with our dear dog. After treating him with medication for a disease, he suffered a stroke. When we took him in to put him out of his misery, they treated us terribly, We were told to keep him outside in the parking lot until our scheduled time, no one else was in the clinic at the time. I refused to leave my dog in their parking lot and proceeded to take him into the clinic. After asking to have him put out of his pain we were told he had a treatable disease and our appointment was really at 11:30, this was at 11:15. We had to insist he be euthanize we were not going to allow them to treat him any longer. I will NEVER take another one of my animals to that clinic and have them touch an animal of mine or anyone else I know. The doctor seemed much more interested in making money than the welfare of our precious family member.

all they care about is $ and not your pet. my dog was in need of care asap and all they could talk about is do i have money and i need this amount and $$$$$$!! she didn't ask one thing about how bad he was or what was wrong. she hung up on 2 times. money was no problem for me I wanted him in asap and we would talk about money when he was being seen. This is the 2nd time I have had problems there. This place is a joke. I took him to Animal Clinic of Rockford at 3444 nmain and for 10$ the seen him right then and gave me a 900$ discount!! so I will never go back here again. greed and rude people run this place.
