Fox Valley Veterinary Clinic

Called this morning because our 5 month old pup has an eye infection and they were able to get us in right away. The whole visit took about 40 minutes, other vets I’ve spent over 2 hours at. Dr Tab is very friendly and knowledgeable and made our puppy feel very comfortable! Thank you! Read Less

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr Tab and the staff. Dr Tab has been seeing my cat Rudy since I adopted him 10 years ago. I highly recommend. The way they treat not only the animals but the owners is amazing. When I’m ready to get another pet, Dr Tab will be the only one that I will go to! Thank you for everything! Read Less

I’ve always taken my dogs to Fox Valley and always got treated so well. Recently when we had to put my 13 year old Chihuahua to sleep, Dr TAB and staff were amazing! Thank you so much for making such a hard experience manageable. Read Less

Dr. TAB is wonderful. Dr. Brooks we were not fans of. We adopted a puppy (Black Lab, 8 weeks) from Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin, IL in 2016, and decided to try Fox Valley Veterinary Clinic since we live in North Aurora. Our dog has a sensitive stomach and can only tolerate certain forms of protein (no beef or pork). When we were trying to determine what the issue was (food sensitivity, GI track, Giardia, etc.), we took our dog in to get an examination and doctor opinion/guidance. Instead of addressing our concerns, Dr. Brooks proceeded to lecture us on how our puppy was overweight, how Americans eat too much, and how they feed their pets too much. Neither my spouse, nor I, are overweight, so I was perplexed by this conversation. Not once did he make any recommendations on what to do with tests or trial-and-error options with food. I left that appointment with no answers or guidance. Instead, we sought medical advice elsewhere. When we adopted our dog, he was the largest puppy in the litter. He is now 14 months old and weighs ~75 lbs (Black Lab). We have tried TWO other veterinary hospitals in our area since, and all of the doctors we have met have said we are doing a great job and that his weight is perfect (all during the course of his first year of life). Ultimately, we have decided to remain patients of the VCA in Aurora. All of the doctors there addressed our concerns and performed the necessary tests required to diagnose our dog's sensitivities. Just wanted to share my experience and how Dr. Brooks made us feel as dog owners. Read Less

Zero bed side manner. I'll drive all the way back to Carol Stream to go to a caring professional who I feel good about leaving my animals with. I now know why my neighbors go to Geneva for their pets. Cashing those checks good though. Read Less

We have been bringing our pets there for over 20 years - we have always been impressed with the vets' expertise, professionalism, and compassion. We love that they have always put the pets first. All of their staff are very courteous and compassionate, but I want to say a special shoutout to Brittany for always going the extra mile! Thank you Fox Valley Clinic for being so great to our pets and the owners! Read Less

Fox Valley has been great for us for almost 20 years. They are great with the animals and great with us. We have all of our pets coming here and have been very happy with the services and comforts they provide us. Read Less

I had a great 3 1/2 years with Fox Valley Vet. They took really good care of Riley and helped with the most difficult decision I had to make. Through out the years I got to know them and can truly say without any hesitation that everyone that works there really cares and always going out of there way. I will be back once we get a new puppy. :-) Read Less

I have been with Fox Valley Veterinary Clinic since they opened. I trust them completely with my furry children. The staff and Doctors have always shown great concern and care. I miss Dr Whitney, but feel that they made a great choice with the new Dr that joined their staff. Read Less

my 7 month old dog was hit by a car. my neighbors brought my dog to their vet because i was at work during the incident. The day after i brought her to my vet (fox valley vet). original vet (my neighbors) stated she would need daily bandage changing, for about a week. My vet stated the same thing. first issue: original vet charged 45 dollars, roughly, to change bandage. fox valley charged 177. you decide! second issue: original vet told me what to expect over the next couple of weeks and she explained what should happen daily over that time period. She prescribed some meds for pain. My vet on day two said i needed additional pain meds. apparently because first vet didn't know what she was doing! When i questioned the extra meds the receptionist, brittany, got upset and told the two doctors i was being "unreasonable". i am not writing her exact words because i didn't hear exactly what she went and told the doctors. what i do know is that i was pulled into a room and treated like a child by a Dr. Tab (big guy). He loomed over me and shook his finger in my face and said i needed to understand my dogs pain. From the beginning i had stated i could not stay because i needed to be at work, something they couldn't understand. I must have said it like 10 times, i need to go to work and you call me when you are finished. i even had someone with me who was going to stay for me and bring my dog home. Well they kept me there the whole time, extra in fact. They did not see that my biggest issue was the need to be at work but harped on the fact that i mentioned the pain meds as being unnecessary. The previous vet said my dog had all the pain meds she needed and when they ran out she wouldn't need them anymore. Fox Valley stated she needed additional pain meds because during the bandage changing she tried to bite them and was in pain. When we arrived she wasn't in pain! So how would the added expense change that pain factor after we got home and her bandages weren't being messed with? which is why i questioned them about that expense. 177 dollars to change some bandages? and being treated like i am insensitive? they tried to take advantage of the situation and when caught became hostile and unprofessional. never going there and i would recommend you stay away too. Also my dog is a pure German Sheppard, from day one they REALLY tried pushing me to have her fixed. i should have gotten a mutt for FREE instead of a pure bred. They PUSH things onto you and then try to make you feel bad about your choice. Must be hard up for money? i would suggest treating customers better then money won't be an issue! after reading the "nice" reviews you will notice a trend. if you go to this vet the reviewers have the same names as the staff.

I was humiliated today. I have had 5 dogs here. Never been so judged in my life. Told him that my husband and I are a carpenter and a part time teacher and the reason we haven't brought her in? We have been poor. And yet he said, "you still have a dog" What I didn't say was that we have been in foreclosure TWICE. SInce 2009. We have lost my husband's pension to save this house...But today I got the evil eye, and rude comments, because my 10 year old has bad teeth. His answer was..."But you still have a dog". And I couldn't afford vet care. If you go here. Go to TAB or Whitney. I will never go back because of his rude attitude. Thank you Dr. Whitney for your kind compassion in helping us get my foxhound Maggie over the rainbow bridge. I will never go here again and I have been here for 15 years. Oh the staff up front was great. Thank you And Mary? I now you don't work theer anymore but thank youRead Less

We have had Dr. Thomas Brooks for three of our dogs since 1990. Dr. Brooks and his staff are so caring towards the animals and their humans! :) Dr. Brooks does not do any unnecessary work on the dogs only if they actually need it. Even when there are emergencies, they always find time to help out. When we had to put one of our dogs down, the nurse came in the room and hugged us before we left. They felt the pain we were feeling. Their pricing is very competitive to other clinics. Our dogs have all loved Dr. Brooks. Can't say enough good things about him and his son Dr. Tab. Thank you for all your wonderful, caring help these last 26 years! Read Less

My parents brought their pets to FVVC before I was born. I've been bringing my own fuzzy family here for 20 years now as well. I wouldn't trust my furry family to anyone else. They're always very thorough and compassionate. We've had to make the hard decisions over the years and the doctors and staff have been with us every step of the way. You simply will not find this kind of dedication and service anywhere else.Read Less

Use this place if you enjoy being discriminated. Accused of giving your pet narcotics. Along with having the staff make rude comments on your appearance. After over 10 years of using Dr. Whitney as my vet, and only Dr. Whitney because they other Vet was often rude and not caring, I was asked by the rude vet to find another vet recently when calling to get my cat in for a bad ear infection. Why you ask? because in 2012 I missed a couple of appointments. I offered at those times to pay for the missed appointments, multiple times and was told no. After those missed appointments under the assumption that I did all I could to resolve the situation I had gone to this place many more times without any problems aside from when the staff made comments of how I looked. Dr. Whitney is great and I was willing to tolerate some BS from staff because I trust him with my pets. Though for some reason years later, those missed appointments came back as a reason to have to find a new vet.Read Less

Humiliated me, different vets for my dog, no compassion towards my dog or my family. Was told they would call at noon for update on surgery; then I was to call at 4:30 pm to get a pickup time. It was as if they had no idea what was going on. I was then told surgery was more than expected. Call again at 4:30 pm and pick her up at 5:00 pm.Finally a vet called me, saying it's best she stays overnight because of additional anesthesia given. I asked if she would have a Dr. or technician with her. No we aren't a 24/7 clinic; vet said I live close in case. I said no, I want her to come home. AWFUL! Read Less

Since moving here 3 months ago, I've brought both of my dogs in for routine check-ups and one for surgery last week. They are all quite professional and a pleasure to deal with. Their facility is spotless and very well maintained. Thanks for recommending them Dennis Shere (my next door neighbor). I couldn't be happier with their services. :-) Read Less
