A huge thank you to this Veterinarian for the help they had offered us today. We had found a very injured Egret and called everyone from the police to animal control to Flint Creek to Fellow Mortals to any rehabber we could think of in the Illinois and southern Wisconsin area. Out of desperation while we were driving through Barrington we stopped in this veterinary hospital and they embraced us immediately. Though they didn’t have the means to care for this animal (they don’t... specialize in wildlife), they were willing to do the right thing since it was in so much pain and offered to euthanize. The entire staff was understanding and caring and immediately worked together as a team to help us. This poor bird was in agony and they were willing to help us. We asked what it would cost and they just said “you can go, we will handle it.” Fortunately one of the rehabbers called back just in time and we didn’t have to have it euthanized but the generosity and care is evident at this veterinary hospital.. Thank you ladies for everything you did for us today and everything you were willing to do if we needed it. You guys are what it’s all about! From the bottom of our hearts See More Read Less

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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
