Excellent doctors that really care about the parents: the humans. I think my feelings about my pets have been regarded higher than other physicians regarding my children. I'm not sure how their prices compare in the area, but I am always surprised at how little my bill ends up being because I'm the kind of pet mommy that pays for every extra test and buys all the diet food necessary to prolong a healthy life. When I first came here upon moving to the area, they also found a rare protein problem one of my cats was having that our former vet for many years in Chicago never even tested for... and the test like $4. New building is very nice, new vets are even nicer.

Please do not take your loved pets to these veterinarians. They are only interested in your money and would not hesitate to hurt and euthanize your loving living dog if you cannot afford their services. Besides that, I suffered a physical attack by two of the doctors: Dr. Christy Moris and Dr. Blaine Nicks. I took my 5 year old Airedale Terrier named Willow to this clinic because she was shot in her front leg. They wanted $1500.00 for the amputation and I could not afford that so I wanted my dog back to take her to another veterinarian the next day. They refused to give me my dog back. They said it was animal abuse to take her home in that condition. The 3 doctors gave a professional opinion that the dog needed to be put down because they determined that the dog was dying and they wanted to do it for me, for free. I said no, I want my Willow back, give her to me! They said that it was illegal that I only had two choices: Amputation or Euthanasia, period. Since I could not afford the 1500.00 of the amputation, my only choice left was to kill her! I said no, I want my dog back and I offered to sign a release discharging the veterinarians from any responsibility by not assisting my injured dog. Without my consent they "assisted" her was by creating the impenetrable wrapping over a dirty and infected leg, with no possibility of fresh air in the wound. They literally "cooked" the leg with heat, moisture and dirt in a hot August day! Please look at the picture with the blue wrapping, this is totally devious and inhumane! And these people, Dr. Christy Moris, Dr. Blaine Nicks and Dr. Catherine Smith call themselves Veterinarians! What a shame they wanted to kill my poor Willow. The first three layers of the impenetrable wrapping was seram wrap over the unclean wound...Because they wanted to kill my baby! When I tried to pick my 100 lb dog, Dr. Christy Moris assaulted me by grabbing me from my left shoulder and injuring it then Dr. Blaine Nicks tackled me from behind my neck and pinned me to the ground riding me as if he was riding a horse, I was laid flat on my back. Simultaneously Dr. Katherine Smith was fabricating the impenetrable bandage specifically designed to kill the dear Willow by gangrene. Less than 15 hours later Dr. Teasdale amputated the rotting limb. I am going to start a lawsuit against these veterinarians for assault and malpractice, I will make sure this does not happen to another animal lover. I will send the proof of their misconduct to the appropriate Licensing organization to have the licenses of the three doctors cancelled. These people are dangerous and should not be practicing veterinarians. The above review is based on true facts that occurred on August 1st 2013and there are four Police reports about these incident.

Veterinary Associates of Galena are only interested in your Money, not your pet. They will look for as many ways as they can to subdivide your bill in small parts so you give them more of your hard earned cash... The worst part of it is the care of the animal. They rather kill your pet friend than letting him go someplace else. It happened to me and Willow, fortunately I did not give up my right to refuse the euthanasia, and Willow is a happy three legged Airedale Terrier. Do not go there, you will regret it

Be very leary of the vet you choose, investigate wisely.
