I had a great experience here yesterday. There aren't too many vets open on Sundays, and more so there aren't a lot of exotic vets, and even more so not a lot of exotic vets with a decent amount of rabbit-treating experience, so when my rabbit was having some gastrointestinal problems on Saturday night, I was relieved to find this place. I know I should have located a vet before any problems occurred...live and learn.When I made the first phone call, the staff was very friendly and helped schedule the earliest appointment. When I got there 20 minutes early, the receptionist saw me and asked if my bunny wasn't doing well - I said he wasn't eating or pooping and if they could plug in his heating pad, and she immediately called the vet techs to take him to the back. It made me relieved that even the receptionist could recognize that my pet was sick and not just there for blood work or a regular check up. Another vet in the area I called said they had an appointment available for 5 pm, and if I came any earlier they'd charge me emergency fees. So, not only did my bunny get an appointment at 12:40 pm (when I called at 10:15 am), he also got immediate attention and care upon arrival. The vet tech who came to get him from the waiting room was very cheerful and pleasant and reassured me that they would take a look at him in the back. 5 minutes later she came out and said he was doing ok and the doctor would examine him shortly. 5 more minutes later she came out and said my mom and I could go into an exam room while my rabbit was being examined by Dr. Loomis, and then the doctor came in to discuss with me what made me bring him in and then he told me his plan of treatment and then went back to treat him. About 20 minutes later the Dr. Loomis told me everything he had done, answered all my questions, and gave me instructions for home care. He asked if I had enough syringes at home for medication and gave me some extras. He said I could call him if I had any other questions at either of the hospitals he worked at.I called him today (Monday) with some questions, and he took the time to explain things to me. I've been very anxious worried about my bunny the last 2 days, and Dr. Loomis really addressed everything well. I've had experiences with 2 other rabbit vets and he is the best of the 3.Reasonable procedures and prices in comparison as well. I honestly expected additional diagnostic procedures, but all is well today with my rabbit and I couldn't be more thankful that I brought him to Dr. Loomis at PAH yesterday.In the hour I was there, the patients I saw were: a parrot, a cat, a bearded dragon, two snakes, four dogs, and my rabbit. Dr. Loomis really is an exotics vet! It was reassuring to see so many different animals.To the receptionists, vet techs, Dr. Loomis, and all staff at Plainfield Animal Hospital, thank you for your positive attitudes, friendliness, and help!
