We have always had a good experience here and have been taking our pets here for several years. A little over a week ago we unfortunately had to put our 17 year old dog down, and we were floored by the kindness and compassion the staff offered. They have a room specifically for euthanasia process that is nicely decorated and they have a dim light in the main area so others know someone is there grieving having to let their pet go, and the room has free treats for your pet and water for the owners too.
They gave us as much time as we needed and Dr Miller was absolutely fantastic with professionalism and it was clear he had true empathy for us. Yesterday we received a sympathy card signed by all the staff with kind and encouraging words. We will forever take our business here after they made such a heart breaking experience a little less painful. Thank you everyone at Bethany, we appreciate you so much.

Best vet experience we have ever had! Doctor Miller is super nice and personable. You can truly tell he cares about animals and also cares about the owners. He worked with us to figure out what worked best for our situation rather than just have us get every expensive test there is. Aside from him, all the other staff are also super nice and welcoming.

The staff is very friendly and they explain things very well. I have had all levels of care from BAH and feel fortunate they are close to home. Just took my 8 yr old, Smokey for a visit yesterday. He is very shy and they were very accommodating to him. They moved slow and talked in quiet voices and even gave him a towel to hide under until the Doctor came in to see him. He was only mad at me for about 5 minutes after returning home and then realized it wasn't that bad. We both were very happy. I will recommend BAH to all of my friends.

I have been taking my pooch to Bethany for awhile. They always treated her with such kindness and were genuinely happy to see her. They were so kind during my Sasha's final days. The care they had with her, and. me, is immeasurable. I will never forget how they helped me through the most difficult thing I have done in a long while. A very special thank you to Carly for her kindness. Highly recommend the fine staff.

We've been going to Bethany for years now for our two cats, and they've always been a great place. The doctors are all spectacular, and their service and kindness are matched only by the techs, front desk workers, and all of the staff. We just bough a puppy, and HOLY MOLEY, they treated him as though he were a king (I mean, he's very cute, so I get. it.but I'm biased).
Our cats, Pepper and Rocket, as well as our new addition, Waffles (that one's the dog) will continue to go to Bethany for as long as we live in the area. Nice work staff, I hope you are given the credit you very much deserve for all of your hard work and wonderful care. Thank you, from all of us.

DOG OWNERS BEWARE! My dog died a slow excruciatingly painful death due to the incompetence and malpractice performed by the "veterinarians" at Bethany, especially Dominguez. I brought my dog to them several times over the course of 3 weeks and I authorized them to perform every test and treatment they requested, spending well over $2,000. And they still were unable to properly diagnose my dog.
I have no idea what killed my dog, and neither do they. Bethany had no problem charging me $60 for a "progress exam" to see my dog when there was no progress. They are money hungry at Bethany, one "veterinarian" would prescribe medication A, then a different "vet" would come in and prescribed medication B leaving me with actually throwing away expensive medication. Again, $2,000+ spent over 3 weeks with many appointments and the clowns at Bethany still can't tell me what killed my dog. Save your dog and go to Valley Vet or literally anywhere else, they certainly won't ever see my second dog.

We have had an amazing experience with Bethany Animal Hospital. Our pet is a hamster named Coco. Dr. Brown and all staff members of BAH have gone above and beyond to tend to our needs as pet owners. Unfortunately, our hamster was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Lymphoma and passed away. BAH treated us and our beloved pet with dignity and compassion every step of the way. Just today we received a condolence card with hand written messages from the entire staff. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you, Bethany Animal Hospital.

Took our three cats here for two years while my partner was studying at NIU. Dr. Corson was our vet, and not only is she so sweet, but she is definitely active in the veterinary community and was always telling us things she'd recently read or learned at a conference. One of our cats has pica, and he had surgery here to remove some hair ties he found when we moved into our apartment.
He also had a number of trips to the emergency vet in Aurora, and Dr. Corson was always so kind when she called us to follow up. After doing some research, we decided to try putting him on prozac, and she was super supportive of us trying it. She called us right after receiving our email and immediately called in a prescription. All of our cats also got their teeth cleaned here, and we boarded them several times when we were out of town.
The boarding staff sent us photos of them and always had something nice to say when we picked them up. The boarding room is cat only, and they also have a feline-friendly waiting area with dim lighting and music.

Yes, the staff is very nice. They were very helpful and accommodating and handled basic veterinary needs without incident, however I realized there was a problem with veterinary care when, after four visits, and $1300 later, I learned that my cat has a stone in her bladder. An x-ray would have revealed that but wasn't taken until the fourth visit.
Two vet techs plus a vet from two other veterinary hospitals said that they would have taken x-rays during the second or possibly third visit. Not the fourth. Each visit at Bethany cost over $300, fourth one over $400. If her stone doesn't dissolve, surgery will be necessary. Second opinion vet put her on pain meds while we wait to see if prescription diet does the trick. Bethany didn't even suggest or offer pain meds. New vet's quote for the same surgery is 50% less than Bethany Animal Hospital. I wish I knew then what I know now.

Every member of the staff was amazing with us when we had to make the difficult decision to put our dog down. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. We weren't rushed and we were given a calm environment to do what we had to do and say our goodbyes. I don't really know how their prices compare to others, but it really doesn't matter. You can't put a price on the experience we were given.

Dr Dominguez is phenomenal. He spends a great deal of time, care and concern getting at the root of any issues your pet may have. You never feel rushed. He follows up with timely phone calls for labs or X-rays or next steps. He is truly a wonderful veterinarian and provides knowledge and compassion to those who cannot speak their concerns. The Bethany office staff are all consummate professionals who reflect the wonderful attributes that Dr Dominguez and the other veterinarians impart. If you don't bring your precious pets to this establishment - you should as I cannot speak highly enough about Dr Dominguez and Bethany!

The care provided to the various canine companions I have entrusted to Bethany Animal Hospital, in general, has been splendid, and the particular care and surgical expertise by Dr. Dominguez has been truly exceptional time after time--and dog after dog, too. He actually hand-crafted both rear joints out of metal for my Beagle on two (2) separate occasions when she discovered in a very painful manner that she cannot fly (off of a 6 foot tall rear deck).
The "take-offs" were good but each landing definitely wasn't and, thus, a broken leg time that Dr. D. had to repair and did so well that you can't even tell were broken just by looking at her now. Not even a limp: now that's amazing to me. Even rather exotic conditions like Diabetes or a brain tumor doesn't thwart his ability to correctly diagnose and properly treat these conditions. As I said, an exceptional Veterinarian.

I was really impressed with this vet. The staff here are very friendly and experienced with many different kinds of pets. The facility is also well kept and not very crowded. My boyfriend and I brought our juvenile bearded dragon in for a visit last month, when she started showing signs of having parasites. Bethany Animal Hospital is among the few in the area that treat reptiles, and the veterinarian was so friendly with her. She made sure our little dragon was in good health, and gave some medicine to help get rid of the parasites. She is back to normal now and happy thanks to the vet here.

We moved to Dekalb in 2014. This is the 3rd vet we've used. First 2 were inefficient and inconsistent. We find that Bethany has folks who are both kind and efficient. Prices are probably high end of normal range. My only issue is that there is no after hours emergency service. We had to drive to St Charles in a snow storm to get help for our dog who got sick on a Sunday morning. But, I don't know of any other vet that provides emergency service in this area either. Kind of worrisome.

All in all, amazing vet to take your pet. Positives: I have always left feeling reassured and confident, the employees fell head over heels for my dog and have always given him the utmost care. I have always been able to ask as many questions as needed, and never left feeling rushed or like the job was "half-assed" for lack of a better term. Dr. Brown has been amazing with my dog and always tries to find the option of treatment that fits our needs and his.
Given there are times you just can't afford certain treatments, unlike other vets who pressure you to do the treatments anyway, they don't judge, but explore your options and work with you. I highly recommend BAH for your pet, and don't doubt they'll get the best care and you'll get the best service. Negatives: None. I would say the fact that they're one of the more pricey vets in town could be perceived as a negative, but pets are expensive. And you get what you pay for. Pay the money for quality service and ample knowledge/experience.

Bethany Animal Hospital could not have been more compassionate, accomodating and professional when I called with an emergency. My dog collapsed without warning. They let me bring her in immediately, helped get her from the car and waited until I got there to get the info so they could treat her more quickly. Unfortunately I had to let her go but they made an awful experience bearable. From the front desk to Dr. Dominguez they were outstanding. I will return under better circumstances with my other pets.

I transferred my cat from an emergency clinic to Bethany Animal Hospital after he suffered a urinary blockage on a Sunday. Dr Stover was very caring, and thoroughly explained my options. She regularly called me with updates, and I felt that he was very safe in her care. Upon his release, she went over the home care instructions, including the medicines and food she was sending home with me, along with a printout of everything for reference.
She called to follow up a day later, and I had some questions for her. She gave me the reassurance that I needed. She is also planning to follow up with me in a week, and we have an appointment in 4 weeks to check on his progress. I cannot say how thankful I am to have taken my cat to Bethany Animal Hospital. The staff there are very friendly and helpful, and Dr Stover is by far the best veterinarian I have ever worked with. I thank her for taking such good care of my Thomas!
