Dr. Walker is wonderful! I brought in my 11 year old Jack Russell mix, with some bladder issues. They ran all the tests they could and still couldn't find anything. He then referred me to The U of I Vet Med Hospital where we later found out it was a bladder cancer that could not be cured. Even though I was referred out, Dr. Walker still called regularly to check on Dottie and myself. He gave me honest advice along the way with all my options and that was much appreciated. The reception staff could be a little more "warm and fuzzy" but overall they are great!

Their prices are great, were very kind, and worked with me every step of the way. I've gone for multiple reasons (some emergency, some standard) and they have been very thorough and attentive. I've been to many different vets, but this is the only one that exceeds in all areas. I recommend them to everyone.

I had a horrible experience here. I recently took both of my rabbits to Paxton Vet Clinic for spaying and neutering. The staff was not friendly at all (they did not even introduce me to the vet, they just whisked the rabbits away) and I do not think that they are very experienced with rabbits. My female rabbit passed away four days after she was spayed, I think because she was not eating enough. We started syringe feeding her the second day, but she would only eat a very little bit. Every rabbit website warns owners about females becoming depressed and not eating after spays, but Dr. Updike was very dismissive and said that he had never heard of it happening. Six days after the neuter, the sutures came out of the male, so I went to the U of I veterinary hospital and they fixed it up. Dr. Updike might be good for other animals, but he was very condescending to me and does not seem to have much experience with rabbits. I would never take a rabbit to Paxton Vet Clinic again.

This is the best Veterinary office in IL. they are dedicated and give excellent care. I would take my animals nowhere else. Dr. Updike has done miracles with my cats. He has gone so far out of his way to help them and me.
