Petunia got her grooming today and Ashley did a beautiful job! She also received her Bordatella vaccine. We have been taking our Petunia there for a while . The only drawbacks are a little pricey and grooming appointments are booked weeks in advance . Read Less

This vet opened their doors to us, when our beloved elderly Collie needed final care, and our family vet was out of town. They were compassionate, understanding, loving toward our beautiful girl, and we will never forget the service we received. Thank you so much for all you do, especially coming through when strangers come through your door. It made our experience smoother, and we know our Collie is at peace. Thank you!!! Read Less

I love all of the doctors. They take care of not only my Perkins but they care about the family as well. My dog ( who is a regular patient here) was attacked and they not only treated him right away but also took the time to sit and talk with me while I was upset. We have been so happy with each visit. The techs and reception staff are all wonderful as well(: Read Less

O.k. but looking for new vet closer to me. Dr. said my dogs ears were clean when they were filthy and bothering her. Also, did a terrible job on her nails. Not driving out of my way for mediocre service. Read Less

They are sooo kind && honest. I've moved a lot the last few years, so my pom has been to two different vets. The tech && the actual vet took a lot of time going over the info && helping me resolve a lot of my health && behavior concerns. Read Less

I only visited them once on a dental consult. However, the staff was very nice. I felt very welcome. I would definitely visit them again or use their services if I thought it was the best option for my pet. Hopefully they dont though! Thank you!! Read Less

My dog had surgery there today for a fractured jaw. I can't tell you how happy I am with the level of care we received. Everyone was so kind, compassionate, and competent. The front desk, the technicians, and Dr Washington all displayed not only professionalism, but sincere concern for my Charlie. I was well informed thru ought the process. We live in Glenview so this is not my normal vet, but I would go back in a heartbeat if we lived closer! Thank you!!! Read Less

I called yesterday with a very sick kitty, who had not been seen at this location for many years. Molly belonged to my parents, my Mom passed away this past Monday and now Molly was sick. The got me in right away and unfortunately there was nothing we could do for Molly she was 17 and very sick. We sent Molly to go be with my Mom. The staff (sorry I don't remember names) was compassionate to both me and Molly. This was so painful but they helped so much. Thanks to all who were working yesterday!

I heard very good things about the clinic. I thought I would take my dog there, however, I was very disappointed. The best thing about the clinic is the front desk staff. They are extremely expensive with little to justify their work. They know how to pad a bill. The owner was supposed to call back and we never got a follow up call. Very, very disappointed. Examine your bills after you get them. Ask for prices before your start. Read Less

Expensive, but honestly fantastic. I say that even after my dog died after being transferred to a different hospital. I can honestly say they tried their best, and did everything they could for her. If after all of that, I still recommend them, I think that's a pretty good indication of their quality. But remember, they are expensive. You get what you pay for though. Read Less

The level of care offered at Barrington Animal hospital far exceeds the call of duty. There is never a time that Dr Stapleton and her staff do not go way beyond the call of duty, for the animal, owner and community. Thank you Barrington Animal Hospital for all that you do. Read Less

After my first visit, this will be my go to vet. They were extremely busy and still fit me in the same day. The staff was very friendly and Dr. Vlakancic was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. She took care of my dog and was more then helpful. I will definitely be returning and recommend them to anyone seeking a great veterinarian! Read Less

Horrible. They gave me an estimate for $1800 to remove 1 or 2 of my cats teeth and told me any more extractions would be more money. They refused to work with me on any payment plans, even though they told me my cat could die without this surgery and that he was in intense pain. They had forgotten to give me painkillers when I left the office and had to remind them, then they only gave me enough for 3 days, when surgery wasn't scheduled for 2 more weeks. When I called to get ...the pain meds refilled and let them know that I was trying to raise the money for surgery, they said that they couldn't work with me on payments, "sorry for the inconvenience" of my cat dying. Then did not call in the refill. I was lucky enough to find another Vet - TLC - that did the surgery for less than 1/2 the price - he needed 10 teeth extracted and laser treatment for his gums! he was indeed in pain and headed for death's door if the infection went to his organs...The owner of Barrington NEVER once tried to get in touch with me - she had her office manager correspond with me and tell me that if i "new" (yes that's how she spelled it) Dr. Stapleton, I would see that she's caring and compassionate...well she is so caring and compassionate that she never attempted to contact me once. DO NOT GO THERE, all they care about is charging you an exorbitant amount of money and if you can't come up with it - too bad, your pet dies, sorry for the inconvenience.... See More Read Less

If I could give negative stars, I would. I was referred in May to Barrington Hospital by my vet to have my 3 yr old cat's resorptive tooth looked at and have it extracted because they do not do dental surgery. It was explained to me by Dr. Washington at Barrington that this was an Extremely Painful situation and if it got worse there was a chance for the infection to go to the organs and my cat could die. My cat has not been eating because of the pain, so they said that they would give him some pain meds. I got the blood work done and set up an appointment and was told they would send me an estimate for surgery. As I was checking out, they forgot to give me the pain medication. I had to ask for it. When I got home I saw they only gave me enough for 3 days when the surgery was scheduled 2 weeks away! When I got the estimate, it was for $1300-1800+!!!! for one tooth! I had my pug dog done at a different vet in the city last year - she had 8 extractions and I also hired a Anesthesia specialist because she's a pug dog and has difficulty with anesthesia  and that was $1500. When I called to talk to Dr. Washington, I let them know they only gave me enough pain meds for 3 days - they said they would contact my vet to refill the prescription. When I told her that I could not afford to come up with $1800 in two weeks and could I do a payment plan, she told me that she would talk to the office manager, this was on a Friday. I didn't hear from anyone, so I called my vet on Monday to ask if they had gotten the refill information - NO ONE from Barrington had contacted them! so they just got me a prescription so that my cat could have relief from the pain and eat (he's down to 9 lbs!). I had to email Barrington AGAIN to tell them that they had not called the scrip into my vet, by the time they got back to me, my vet had already taken care of the refill.I called Barrington back and NO ONE had talked to the office manager about a payment plan. I then emailed Barrington to ask about the payment plan and received an email back telling me that all they offered was "Care Credit", sorry for the inconvenience! I had already told them I didn't qualify for because of a recent bankruptcy that I filed because of medical, vet and car repair bills in the past couple of years. So basically the death of my cat is being referred to as an inconvenience! pretty heartless, if you ask me.I emailed them back to let them know that I have informed my vet of their heartlessness and lying, asking my vet to not give them any more referrals and informed them that I would be leaving a negative review.I got an email from the Office Manager, saying how Dr. Stapleton, (who apparently owns this practice? I Don't know, she cared so much about me and my cat that she never bothered to contact me once!) if I "new" her (yes that's how she spelled it) is such a caring, generous and compassionate doctor.I asked why Dr. Stapleton didn't contact me herself and if they're so compassionate, why are they willing to let my cat die because of their greed? I never heard back from anyone.So, unless you're filthy rich, don't bother going here, because your pet's health does not matter here if you can't pay their inflated prices all up front and if your pet is going to die because of it...oh well, sorry for the inconvenience!!!I found another vet to do this procedure at almost half the price - they even contact me by email and phone to keep checking up on my cat to see how he's doing - and they aren't even my regular vet!

Great service . They were able to schedule an appointment the same day bc my dog hurt her leg running down the stairs. I feel so bad bc I don't remember the doctors name but she was so sweet and calm and really helped a lot . Glad we came here . Read Less

My regular vet was not available so I called Barrington Animal Hospital as my dog was ill. They got me right in and showed so much care, I was blown away. Six months later my dog got bitten by a coyote, we called to tell them we were on our way and they were ready and waiting for us. Their care and sensitivity was incredible. Very happy with Barrington Animal Hospital. Read Less

I cannot possibly express just how much this place and its people mean to me. They are kind, compassionate, and so very good at what they do. Dr. Stapleton has been our vet for nearly three years. We came to her because she is one of the only animal dentists in the area, and came highly recommended. Our previous vet tried to remove our Rupert's canine tooth in office under sedation and was woefully unsuccessful. We opted for a root canal, but in the process discovered a tumor in his jaw. It was inoperable, short of replacing half of his jaw with a prosthetic. So we waited and watched as it grew, carefully monitoring his quality of life. Recently it became apparent that it was time to let him go. The staff was incredible during one of the most difficult times of our lives. I can't thank them enough, but I try by recommending them to anyone who will listen.Read Less

I am so happy my Reggie got care there the staff and Dr Barbara are amazing they cured my dog he is back to normal they are so friendly and so caring I recommend this place they get 5 stars from me!!!! Read Less

This Valentine's Day I had to put to put my dog down. Doctor Duke, her team, and the  staff of Barrington Animal Hospital were amazing.Doctor Duke, even talked on a phone to my daughter, who is in college, to explain this dire situation.I have been a client of Barrington Animal Hospital for many, many years. They have always been the best.Rest in peace, Rocky! Read Less

Dr S is fantastic, other staff, not so much! Money grubbing killed it for us! They wrote a "life long" rx for my pet and then tried to hold us hostage for refills! Very shady, not putting the pet first. My pet has such bad panic attacks in the car she salavates through 2 layers of a bathsheet! So, should we torment the pet or let her suffer with a bowel blockage? If it wasn't deemed by THE DR as a "lifelong" rx I could understand, but it's "LIFELONG" so, no matter what she has to have the medicine, doesn't matter what state anything else is in, it's "LIFELONG". We've been clients for over 20 years, no more. Scammed by the money grubbing! Stay away! Read Less

We had previously gone to two different animal hospitals in the Cary and Algonquin areas and were not truly satisfied with them. On the recommendation of a neighbor we went to Barrington Animal Hospital with our two dogs Gio and Lucci. The staff was very friendly and Dr. Washington was very good with our boys to calm them and make them happy that they were there.. We will definitely be bringing our babies back here.. Read Less

I have been going here for a few years now. The staff is amazingly friendly, and the service has always been great. I have always been able to get an appointment in an emergency as well, which is almost unheard of around here! Read Less

This is without the best vet in the Barrington! I have had to say good bye to 3 of my cats in the last several years. The staff really cares about all their customers and pets. The are co compassionate. Love everyone at the front desk, all the vets and great support staff in back. Thank you for all your support and kindness. The best I have ever seen. Read Less

Great service, friendly staff, almost no wait time, and the dr. Stapleton was very nice and knowledgable. Our dog chipped his tooth on a deer antler from the pet store, and she was able to immediately diagnose it and schedule him to get the tooth pulled within days. Would recommend to anybody.Read Less

Barrington Animal Hospital is a First Class Facility! From the moment that we entered til the moment that we left, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE treated us with professionalism, respect, courtesy and consideration. Otto had one tooth extracted and one tooth filled. In looking back it all makes sense now why he didn't like the marrow bones directly from the freezer (his teeth were cold sensitive), he was going after Heidi (because she kept going up around his face) his mouth hurt him because of his tooth was hurting him. No more antler bones, just a large rawhide and taken away when it gets be choking size. If your dogs are acting different, have them checked out by a veterinarian. There might be a physical medical reason. Our vet, Doctor Edward McGinniss, caught the fractured tooth during Otto's yearly checkup and recommended Barrington Animal Hospital. Great call, Dr. McGinnis! DR. FORD at Barrington ANIMAL Hospital was the attending physician! Thank you, Dr. Ford for a fantastic job!Read Less
