Indian Prairie Animal Hospital

This was my first time here. Also, a first time being to an animal hospital that takes exotic pets! Upon walking in the ladies up front were very nice and friendly. The waiting room and my patient room were very clean. I only waited a few minutes to see the doctor. Dr. Benson and his assistant were very helpful. Dr.Benson took over 20 minutes to sit with me and was genuinely concerned with what I had to ask. He was very knowledgeable in everything about the baby bearded dragon I brought in.He took a good look at him. I will be back in 6 months for his checkup. Overall, a wonderful facility with happy and knowledgeable staff. This was a great experience for me and my exotic pet. I left knowing exactly what I had to do and wasn’t pressured into anything extra. Such great people, thank you!

I took my hamster in last minute here for a weird abscess. Dr. Ernsting handled her so well and gave antibiotics that took care of the abscess and my hamster recovered and is doing amazing months later! Here's an after and before!

I can’t thank you all enough for taking care of our Maggie Moo the last few years. Thank you for staying late when we had to say goodbye. I highly recommend this vet. They are so caring and knowledgeable. I got this card today and added it to her table. You guys are all amazing! THANK YOU!

I actually came here way back in 2015 so this review is quite old but still valid. They worked in my 11 year old cat that I suspected had pyometra (fyi - spay your pets people. I was still in grade school when my family got her so I wasn't in a position to do it myself). Dr. Sam was able to quickly confirm that she did and said he'd work her in the next day for surgery. Surgery went smoothly and she went on to live for another 7 years. ❤ Dr. Sam also treated my rat when she was having some upper respiratory symptoms. He's a wonderful vet, and the entire staff has always been nothing but friendly and professional. When I later euthanized my rat the staff was so understanding and so nice - I know it seems silly to become so attached to a rat but they're wonderful animals. Their compassion made the process so smooth. At that time I also didn't realize a lot of vets will send out sympathy cards after a euthanasia, but it was a really pleasant surprise. The staff was also very clear when I had signed up for a Care Credit card to pay for my cat's surgery that I should pay off the surgery in 6 month's to avoid any interest from accruing. As a 19 year old who hadn't had a credit card at the point, I really appreciated their emphasis on that. I was quick to pay off the balance and experienced no issues.

I took my cat to see Dr. Ernsting and he was very informative and helpful. I could tell he was very knowledgeable about cats which made me feel like we were in good hands. The other staff were great as well! I would absolutely recommend going here.
