Cat Clinic of Central Illinois

Don’t seem to care at all. The vet acted like speaking to me was a burden and was extremely upset when I chose not to screen for communicable diseases for a cat who has behavioral issues in a home he’s been in with other cats for 2 years who are totally fine and never go outside. The chance of a communicable disease being the culprit was so incredibly low that I’m shocked she offered. The new vet was also shocked. She just didn’t care and didn’t want to do anything but charge me for stuff. We will not be returning.

I love Dr. Carlson and Cat Clinic of Central Illinois! I have been taking my two cats to her for about 5 years. Dr. Carlson is the most honest vet guaranteed!! She is very professional and knowledgable!! Unlike many others I have encountered as a lifelong cat lover, Dr. Carlson would never suggest a treatment just because of the profit. She always has the animal's well-being as a priority, which is felt in everything she does or says. So, for instance, when 2 other vets in the area wanted to put my senior cat to sleep in order to clean his teeth for $450, Dr. Carlson did not want to put an elderly cat to sleep as she thought it would be too risky because of his heart, so she prescribed some oral medication that worked great! She also always quotes the price before doing anything, so there

Dr. Carlson is a kind and caring vet. When my kitty needed major surgery, she was able to find a hospital that was able to act quickly to resolve the issues. I have boarded my cat several times and my cat is always treated with the best care. I highly recommend the Cat Clinic.

I do not usually review anything but I wanted to say that Dr. Carlson and her staff have been fantastic. I went to three different places a few years ago when my 9 year old cat started losing weight and declining in health. None of the bloodwork showed anything abnormal and the best guess was some sort of IBD and another vet started her on steroids. No improvement for months and by the time I brought her to the clinic, she looked so sick and sad that I was terrified I was going to have to let her go. Dr. Carlson treated her exceptionally well and preformed a relatively new blood test that seemed to point to early-stage intestinal cancer. Not one of the other vets I saw preformed or even knew about this test and it saved my cats life. Dr. Carlson started her on chemo and years later, my 13

Don't come here if you want to be treated with respect and understanding. I don't like leaving bad reviews but I would hate for anyone else to feel the way I did today. Our cat had to have most of his teeth removed and we were told by Dr. Carlson that she wouldn't do the surgery and told us to go all the way to Decatur for his surgery. (Which would have been multiple 45 min. Trips) when she found out we had taken him somewhere else in town to get the surgery done she got angry and basically talked down to me and acted like I was letting just anyone operate on my cat even though I had several conversations with the dentist on staff about their equipment and the process for surgery and aftercare. I was made to feel bad for trying to get a second opinion and going to another vet for a very ex
