Love this Dr and the staff. They treat our fur babies like their's. Any time I call, unplanned of course, they get us in. My little Baby wasn't walking on his back paw for a day and a half. Called first thing on Monday and after seeing the Dr, well he was running around the house that night! So relieved !! Love this place!! Read Less

They were not good with my medium size dog. Maybe they are ok with other animals but I wouldn't recommend taking a medium sized dog. The staff doesn't know how to handle bigger dogs.The biggest problem is they are over priced and they quoted me one price over phone and when I went to pay they increased the price. So fyi- get a quote in writing! Read Less

One of the best places to take your animal. These people truly care about your pets. Our cat Garfield is actually there now with a urinary blockage. I was troubled to read the poor review on here, especially when it came to Jorge. We have dealt with Jorge on numerous occasions and he is one of the best animal caretakers I have seen. We are in the process of trying to sell our house and move to Elgin. It will be difficult to go here for emergencies, but I think the half an hour commute is worth it to know my animals will be treated properly. Keep up the great work! Read Less

Well, I feel like a bit of a jerk writing this, but I based my cat's visit partially on these reviews, and I had a vastly different experience. My 12 y.o. cat (Crazy, named by a 4 y.o.) was suddenly very ill; he was vomiting repeatedly, somewhat bloody, along with diarrhea, drooling, and complete lethargy. I was a vet tech ages ago, and to me, he looked like he'd been poisoned. I brought him in right away. His temp and heart rate were taken immediately, then a sub vet, Dr. Haddy, came in. Everything was fine up until this point. We decided on blood work and Sub Q fluids, so Jorge came in to take him to the back. I informed Jorge that my cat is a fighter when it comes to needles, and advised him to hold him securely. He acknowledged the information, and I, feeling somewhat uneasy, asked if I could accompany him to the back. In the back room, I stood behind Jorge as he secured Crazy, and Margaret tried to draw blood. Crazy began to struggle, and I stepped forward a foot. Much to my dismay, Jorge was not holding him securely - he was not scruffed, only held by the upper foreleg and rear haunch. This is not standard protocol anywhere when the animal is known to be resistant. A second later, my cat leapt out of Jorge's grasp, Margaret lost the vein (not her fault) and I jumped forward and caught him as he jumped off the table. By this point Crazy was panting, terrified, and in complete distress. Not enough blood had been drawn to run the full panels I wanted, and my cat risked injury (dislocation from struggling, jumping, or injury from the needle). Although somewhat needless to say, I was pretty upset. The results of the testing Addison ran showed hyperthyroid, an incidental finding, and not the cause of the acute condition. I ended up bringing him into BluePearl in Elk Grove (excellent care), three times over the course of the next week, and having all the tests run again. We spent over a thousand all told, and as of today, my cat is finally eating and drinking again. The final diagnosis was acute poisoning, of unknown origin. (we are a green home, so our best guess is a poisoned mouse, bird, etc., came in to die and he ate it). On Friday, Dr. Stocks called me to "see how the cat was doing" - he had received a fax from BluePearl and wanted to offer "supportive care." Crazy was still not eating and drinking at that point, and I informed the Dr. of this. He said it sounded like more than hyperthyroid. ......wow. I said, yes, obviously, he was brought in for suspected poisoning. Dr. Stocks sounded somewhat surprised, and I was completely disheartened. While I think Dr Stocks is a perfectly nice man, I cannot recommend this animal hospital. I did bring up Jorge's handling, and the Dr did not disagree with it. I also spoke with every tech, assistant, and Dr at BluePearl, every one of them thought not scruffing for a blood draw was ludicrous. So, here we are. Nice people, I guess, but I sure wouldn't entrust them with MY animals again. Read Less

My step father brought in our cat storm who was having an asthma attack and we were turned away because they were to close to closing even though they are suppose to be an emergency vet as well. I will never take any of my animals here and I will never recommend them. My cat almost died so you can go home Thank you! Read Less

Could not ask for a better Doctor and Staff at Addison Animal. They are my second family with my furbabies!! Been through a lot this past year and they were all there for me and my babies. I have been going to Addison Animal since the 80's. Dr. Stocks took over the practice and it just got better when he came on with the staff. The people are what make a business work and you all rock! Thank you for your compassion Read Less
