My family has been using their sevices for over 20 years. They have always treated everyone well and been true professionals. My parents recently had to say good bye to the family cat. All the staff and the vet were so very considerate and thoughtful through the whole process.

I wish I could give a negative rating...I have taken my dog there for many years when Dr. Unsell was the veterinarian and he was amazing. He and his staff were always very friendly and customer service oriented. Under the new ownership, they are unprofessional and have zero customer service. I waited for almost 2 hours (lobby & exam room), later to find out that there was an emergency that came in while I was waiting. I understand emergencies and if that was my pet, I certainly would want her treated first. However, the customer service thing to do would have been to let me know that they had an emergency and that my wait could be 60-90 minutes extra and ask if I would like to continue to wait or reschedule, you know since we all have busy schedules (hint: I would have rescheduled). But unfortunately that is not what they did. They kept me waiting in a room for 1 1/2 hours, not knowing the reason. I finally popped my head out to ask how much longer and then they decided to tell me. I waited another 15 minutes and then had to leave for another appointment. I told the front desk person that “I would have to reschedule” and she said “okay” in a high pitched snarky voice, to which I replied, “I bet you are”. – meaning I know you don’t care about customers, so I bet you are “okay” with me leaving. A couple days later I requested my dog’s records to be faxed to a new vet and also emailed to me. When I received their “notes” on what occurred that day I was flabbergasted! In their notes, they say they apologized a few times (LIE) and also that when I left, I said “this is ridiculous, I’m done” and that they apologized again to try and make it right. ANOTHER HUGE LIE! In fact their whole account for what happened from beginning to end was a complete and total lie. Why would they even put personal statements like that in my dog’s record to begin with? I know, because they are retaliating against me for switching to a new VET! These notes were sent to my new vet with these lies making it look like I’m a difficult customer/pet owner and out of line, when in fact Edwardsville Pet Hospital staff were completely out of line! Totally disrespectful, unprofessional, and childish with their retaliation of LIES in my dog’s file! I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars there due to my pet’s health issues…but guess what, my money works just fine at other professional establishments. Don’t waste your time or money on this place!

They do very well in all of their work. I should consider dropping a star because of the costs but they, so far, have been accurate and that's the most important thing to me.
They've been upgrading their equipment, but I warn you to watch out for their attempts to PT "add on's" to do various tests.
Another thing I've noticed is that they seem to staff new veterinarians, but are polite, nice and as I said, accurate.

My dog is being treated for cancer at the University of Missouri in Columbia. They gave me a prescription for Hill's Science Diet food which is only sold through veterinarians. My local veterinarian is Hawthorne Animal Hospital which is wonderful except that they don't sell the Hills Foods. I needed a source in Edwardsville where I live to get the food so I went 2 Edwardsville pet hospital with my prescription to see if I could buy some. Much to my disappointment I was told that they would only sell me the food if my dog was examined by them. Well I was floored that they cared more about making a buck then getting a dog the food they need to survive during cancer treatment. The receptionist tried to tell me it was the law that they had to see the dog before selling the prescription food even though I had a prescription from the oncologist. Fortunately I found out PetSmart also sells the food and had no problem taking the prescription from another vet. If I could give negative stars to this place I would!

I can't tell you enough about how much I love this vet. My cat is a jerk and they have no problem dealing with him. They make great recommendations for keeping your animals health. They never recommend anything not needed. The vets are kind and caring. I have never had to wait more than a day to be able to get an appointment.

Due to a dog that has cancer, we come here more often than we like too! The staff is always very friendly and very attentive and loving towards the animals. Because of our work schedules, the doctors would often see our dog when my husband would bring her in, and then also make time on a different day to review her X-rays or whatever with me. These additional "appointments" I would come alone & the doctor (vet) would pull up the X-ray and go through things with me, often lasting quite long, at no additional charge - these were concerning questions I had that I could not be answered by my husband from the original appointment. I wanted to make sure I understood what was going on with our dog, and the vets here went above and beyond to answer every question I had (and I always have a lot).
At the onset of the cancer, the doctor was able to recognize there was something wrong with our dog, but would not diagnosis the cancer. Which is completely acceptable, just like human doctors, these are "general practitioners", not specialists, and they referred us to a special cancer doctor. There was no guessing game where we wasted money on appointments for them to check random things first and then only to later be referred elsewhere. It was recognized & referred immediately, with no wasted visits or wasted money.
Because of the up's and down's health-wise with a dog with cancer, we often would need last second appointments, and Edwardsville was able to accommodate on tight timelines & also meet our work demands so we weren't missing too much work trying to care for our dog.
We also had another dog and 3 cats, which also were seen at Edwardsville. However, they are more "normal" and were just seen for "normal" visits.
Edwardsville was also available to prepare our paperwork for the animals, as well their immunizations for their travel out the country. We have now moved to Europe and Edwardsville was able to ensure all our animals had the correct vaccinations, microchips, and other health information/paperwork ready. Everything was prepared as it needed to be in order for us to get the animals out of the country and accepted without issue into Europe with us.

You can trust that this veterinariary clinic won't overcharge you, manipulate your emotions, nor take advantage of you and your pocket book. These veterinarians really care about the clients as well as the animals. It is the old time values and small town feel that makes this a real gem of a place. I honestly don't think five stars is enough for them. They are well deserving of ten stars. I have had experience with four different pets over the years. I first experienced the really horrible places that manipulated and overpriced procedures before finding this gem. I wish I had first discovered them fifteen years ago. But, I am happy someone recommended them to me just eight years ago. A++++ for the care of the pet owners and the pets.

I took my dog there today due to the price being lower there than anywhere else in town. When walking in the door, the lady grabbed my leash from me and pushed my dog onto the scale. My dog was not comfortable and the lady did not seem to care. The vet herself claimed that she was a 'cat person' and was not a fan of dogs. Wrong profession! Cheaper than the rest of the town yes, better than the other places, no so much.

It's a really convenient location, you can always get an appointment in a timely manner, wait time once you get there is okay, sometimes better than others, but that's to be expected. It's a rather small hospital, but that has never caused an issue for us. My pup Lola always gets nervous when we go there though!They are really good about follow-ups, always have Frontline and Heartguard available, however you may have to search elsewhere for a better price on those. Prices in general are fair, the only thing that I needed and I thought it was very overpriced was an International Health Pet Certificate, which cost $100, in addition to the office visit fee. Overall, a good pet hospital with friendly vets and reasonable prices.
