This was my first visit to Mokena Animal Clinic after giving up on Midwest Animal Hospital. WIth COVID, protocol was to remain in your car and this procedure was very efficient. The entire appointment with check in, exam and follow up questions took less than 30 minutes. All my questions were answered and I found the staff caring and personable.

So my almost 16yr old kitty is pure evil when it comes to meeting other people. Everyone I've met so far from technicians to Doc B. have the most wonderful personality. They helped answer all my questions and took care on checking out my little spicy one without any issues or stressing her out. Doc B is extremely nice, easy to ask him a million questions and gave very helpful advice. The cost of exam was very very reasonable as well, compared to other facilities I've taken her too prior. Thank you for all you do!!

Been with MAC for a number of years through care of three cats. Staff is always efficient and courteous. Mostly see Dr. B who, in my opinion, is excellent. He explains everything very thoroughly and patiently answers all questions. During Covid, where appointments are done curbside, he makes the extra effort to come out to the clients car personally to talk about the visit, instead of conveniently calling on the phone. Only one complaint. There have been significant price increases. I have done a comparison of prices for same services at other local animal clinics, and MAC is definitely on
