Christensen Animal Hospital

My cat needed a cryptorchidectomy (surgery for an undescended testicle). I researched having it done laparoscopically and I came across Dr Moll and his extensive experience with laparoscopic surgery on the internet. After our initial consultation with Dr. Moll, I felt totally confident about having the procedure done here. Dr Moll took a lot of time explaining the entire procedure and what I should be expecting. He is very caring, patient, and extremely knowledgeable! The entire staff was kind and helped put me at ease. I actually can't say enough good things about my experience at this clinic and especially with Dr. Moll!

I recently brought my Golden Retriever there on very short notice. They were able to get her looked at and did all the necessary work. They were responsive with the many questions I had and easy to work with. I definitely trust them to care for my dog and highly recommend them.

Today I came here for a consult and a first time appointment for a front declaw for my cat, Wrigley. Instead of having the surgery, Dr. Moll recommended that I get nail caps for her. As of May 2023, Vets are no longer able to perform recalls unless absolutely necessary. Dr. Moll said Illinois and California are the only states that have this law. I appreciated his honesty and explanation. I bought the nail caps and so far it has been successful this evening. I wish I discovered these a long time ago, because I would have not gotten the declaw in the past for my other cats. Thanks for saving me $ and your honesty. Plus, thank you Joey for cutting Wrigley's nails this morning. You were very warm and friendly, and I think she was at ease with you! I have now switched all of my cats to them for future appointments.

I can’t thank Dr. Moll and his entire team enough for the unbelievable experience during our puppy’s recent spay procedure. We chose this practice for the unique laporoscopic technique the doctor employs to minimize pain and recovery for our pup. The attentiveness and thoroughness of Dr. Moll exceeded any and all expectations! From the day he met Teddi to the day of the procedure, the care provided to our dog is something a human would envy. The doctor had an appointment to establish the relationship with us and spent at least 30 minutes patiently explaining every nuance. We followed up with detailed bloodwork to ensure anesthesia and procedure would be safe. On the day of the procedure, we were informed of every step and had confidence our baby was in good hands. When she was discharged, the doctor spent another 30 minutes reviewing all the details, from post-surgical expectations to nutritional advice. The technicians and office staff truly cared for the puppy and even followed up with an email the morning after the surgery to ensure Teddi was doing well after the procedure. The minimally invasive laporoscopic technique ensures our dog was literally back to normal the following day… two tiny holes were glued (no big incision, no visible stitches, no cone - just a cute surgical suit recommended by the doctor). By contrast, my sister-in-law took 3 days off from work (+weekend) had to carry her puppy in her arms to relieve her discomfort after a traditional spay. From the financial perspective, the office gave us the range for an estimated procedure cost and ended up charging on the lower end… which further proves that they truly care about animals and their well-being above all. THANK YOU! I’m grateful I discovered your amazing practice.

I chose Christiansen Animal Hospital for my mini goldendoodle’s spay procedure because they offer laser laprascopic ovariectomy (leaving the uterus in place), which research indicated would offer the fastest recovery. It absolutely was the best choice! If I had known that my dear girl would feel better so fast, I could have saved myself a lot of worry. She has IBD, so seeing her eating, drinking, and pottying well from the very first evening was a big relief. Her two incisions are tiny and healing well. She showed no signs of discomfort after the first recovery day. I highly recommend this surgical method and these vets to anyone who wants the best possible spay experience for their dog.
