We took our cat here after he started throwing up for a day and half when we finally could get in somewhere. He hadn't eaten and hadn't had any water, was lethargic and constantly throwing up. We knew something was wrong and not acting himself. We handed our cat over for an examination and 10 minutes later the dr came out. He said he wasn't all that concerned, didn't feel anything in his stomach of concern, gave him a fluid shot and some anti nausea medicine and sent us home. Our cat continued to get worse and our gut said something was seriously off. We took him somewhere else the next day and he needed to be rushed into emergency surgery or he wouldn't make it through the night. He was severely dehydrated, abdomen bloated and wouldn't let anyone touch it. He is now still in the hospital and new complications are arising. The care we received was unacceptable and should have been more apparent to this dr given how sick he was. I'm not sure if this dr lacks the proper care needed to take care of sick patients or frankly just didn't care but we will never be going back and would never recommend to anyone. read more

We have been to a handful of different vets and animal hospitals over the years. Danada is absolutely the best we've ever used. You can tell they genuinely care about the family's and pets they work with. Highly recommended. read more

I absolutely love everyone here! The staff is amazing and really go above and beyond to make the experience a good one for your pet. They are truly dedicated to fear free vet visits. I have an anxious pooch who has never really done well anywhere new, but she did so well! They gave her a Kong stuffed with something delicious and let her go at her own pace. They are so easy to get a hold of for questions and concerns. We have always had our family dog come here (for 15+ yrs) and they continue to provide excellent, friendly service! read more

This business is stellar. They are professional, kind and knowledgeable. We've been bringing our Bernese Mountain Dog there for 8 years - and also have kenneled him when on vacation. ZERO worries!!!! read more

We have been coming to Danada Vet Hospital for about 3 years now and they have been absolutely amazing! First off, our dog is very aggressive towards other dogs, so I usually get anxious before taking him in since it's difficult to control a 60lb dog when he's going crazy. The front office staff is always so helpful and will let me stand behind the counter with him if there are other dogs in the lobby and help distract him with toys and treats until the doctor is ready to see us - this makes my trips to the vet SO much easier and less stressful. Our dog has an ongoing issue with allergies/skin rashes.We usually see Dr. Wallach and she is always super helpful with recommendations on how to treat it. We have used them for boarding from time-to-time and always feel comfortable keeping him there while we're out of town. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

We have used Danada Veterinary Hospital for over 25 years. They have seen us through the death of two of our family members (cats). They have always been very kind and even sent condolence cards. They have extended hours and the best vets/staff you could wish for. We have always been pleased with this establishment. read more

Our 15 year old cat was waning, but on December 30, it was clear the time had come to let him chase laser beams on the other side of the clouds. Calling the hospital at 7:30am, we were seen at 9:00am. Everything was Covid sensitive, timely, and Dr. Gunderson could not have been more professional in explaining protocol, yet compassionate and sensitive. Receiving a card today from her acknowledging our loss of a loved pet was touching and appreciated. Trust these caring professionals with your beloved pets. read more

Last February, when my beloved dog, Bonnie, had to be put down after months of decline, the docs and staff of DVH helped me through it with such compassion and I will always be grateful. read more

Danada Veterinary Hospital saved our puppy's life. A vet there correctly diagnosed our golden retriever with a melanoma cancer behind her eye when she was 3 and referred her to a specialist for surgery. Now she is 11 years and 5 months, and still healthy! read more

If you are looking for a Dr. for your pet I felt compelled to write this review. I highly recommend Dr Wallach and Dr Hiller. I recently had to put my dog of 16 years down. Dr Hiller and the entire staff was soo kind and supportive at this time. It took me two hours to finally say" I'm ready", and not for one minute did they rush me or leave my side. In addition I received a card with personal messages from those who were there to console me and well as two follow up calls. If you're new to the area or looking for another Dr for you pet I would highly recommend the two Dr.'s I mentioned. read more

We've been looking for an area vet ever since moving at the end of 2012. After a bad experience with another vet (older cat died from unnecessary shots), we read the great reviews for Danada Veterinary Hospital and switched. Our first experience with them was fine, they spayed one of our kittens. The procedure was more expensive than we expected, but our cat came out of the experience fine. Then several months later we made an appointment to get some routine shots. We showed up 10 minutes early and checked in. Then we waited... and waited... and waited. We watched as other customers came in, got seen, and left. After a half hour we went up to the desk and asked, they said they were running behind and it would be a little while longer. So we kept waiting... and waiting. Eventually at nearly an hour we cancelled. We figured it was just a fluke. Fast forward to today. One of our other cats has an eye infection. We arrive at 10:50 for an 11:00am appointment. We check in and are told the doctor is running a bit behind. So we wait. And watch as dogs come in, get seen, and leave. And we wait some more. Eventually we go back up to the counter after an hour and tell them we've had enough and to cancel the appointment. It sure sounds from the other reviews like the vets are wonderful, caring doctors. And the front desk staff was polite. But running so far behind (and out of order) twice in a row suggests they have an issue. Perhaps the doctors don't back each other up when one falls way behind, or maybe they have more doctors that see dogs than cats. Or maybe they just need to schedule fewer patients. Regardless of the case, we're off to find a new vet again. Time is precious, and sitting in this vet's lobby for a couple of wasted hours isn't how we want to spend our time. read more

We started taking our puppy, an unusual breed for North America, to DVH after having used another vet for our previous dog, and now at 10 months I'm very pleased we did. Their No Fear objective is well administered and adhered to. The vet spent a very good amount of time with us on our first visit. I like being able to get answers by texting them and the advice I've gotten has always been top notch. We like the fact that they have a trainer (Darci) on staff and have found her very helpful with behavior issues and training. The facility is nice, the staff is great, and flexible to owners needs, and their pricing is reasonable. Looking forward to a long relationship. read more

We have been clients of Danada Vet for 30 years. The Drs are very compassionate about animals and I totally trust them with my pets.

I got scared away by this group... One of the vets told me my dog would need entropian eyelid surgery. Trusting him, I sheduled the surgery the next day. When I brought my dog in, the original vet's partner took a look at him and said, "I don't think your dog needs surgery." read more

My dogs are like children to me, so it's important that I find a vet who is knowledgeable, thorough, and will take the time to get to know them. I'm hoping that in few years, when my dogs are older and start having health problems, my vet has already built a relationship with them, know their "typical" behavior, and are familiar with any medical history. I know this can be done, given my experience with multiple prior vets who have now left the area or have retired. Keeping all of this in mind, my appointment with Dr. Wallach was extremely disappointing. Beyond disappointing, really. I was about 15 minutes early to the appointment, filled out all of the new client paperwork, and gave them all of my dog's records to copy. Dr. Wallach came out promptly, and started the exam. But really, was it an exam? She listened to my dog's chest, and I warned her that he may growl/show his teeth as he had been abused in the past. She quickly stood up, lifted one ear flap, and ended the exam. She was visibly scared of my dog. Enough that even my husband commented on it, and he is typically rather oblivious. I mentioned to Dr. Wallach that I thought my dog has allergies, since he chews on his feet and sides, but no response. She didn't ask how often he chews his feet, or ask leading questions to determine whether or not he should try a different food, allergy test, or maybe an anti-histimine. She didn't ask any questions, actually. Except to ask what he's eating, because he's too fat. She took him back for his shots, and came back with him quickly. I asked if they could try clipping his nails, and she said he's "too wound up." And then she was too scared to try and weigh him, so she was throwing treats onto the scale from 3 feet away, hoping my dog would step onto the scale to eat one. My interaction with Dr. Wallach lasted about four minutes, not counting the 3 minutes it took her to give the shots. I KNOW she didn't review his prior records that I brought in, because she looked surprised when I told her that my dog was extremely underweight, about 35 pounds thinner the year before, when I adopted him. Isn't that something they're supposed to do? Why else would I bring his records? She also warned me about his "aggressive behavior" and said I should get rid of the dog. At the very least to take care of it now, because the situation could turn really ugly, even though my dog didn't growl or show his teeth at her-- unless you count his squeal of pain when she gave him the shot. When I left, I noticed I still had the day ahead of me. I was allocating about an hour for the appointment, but I actually left only ten minutes after my scheduled appointment time (including the time it took to pay the bill!). Definitely a record. And the search continues for a thorough, knowledgeable vet... read more

We have usually seen Dr. Hiller, but have recently seen Dr. Sniezek, and have seen Dr. Norberg and Dr. Dane as well. They are all very good doctors and attentive to the situation, the pet, and my questions. Right now my dog is in his senior years and battling with chronic pancreatitis. The doctors have been amazingly supportive and share my concerns. Their facility is always clean and organized, and everyone on the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. read more

This is a great veterinary office to use for all veterinary needs (not just hospital services). I've taken both my cats and puppy here. The doctors and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. When my puppy need some medicine asap, it was ready for me within a few hours. They are flexible with scheduling and are open on Saturdays, which is a necessity for me. Although the pup doesn't like going to the vet, I don't mind so much when I go here. read more

I would recommend danada veterinary hospital to all of my friends and family. Our dog has an autoimmune disorder and the vets here have been so knowledgeable and caring about treating her. We live in Batavia, yet continue to drive to Wheaton so Eleanor can go here. We won't take her anywhere else! Compassionate, timely, and answer all questions. read more

Yet again, can't thank Danada enough. My dog suddenly starting acting weak, breathing hard, vomiting white foamy stuff, had diarrhea, then laid down and wouldn't get up. I called and left a message with the receptionist that we really needed to be seen. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it took hours for Danada to call me back even though my dog was in serious distress. In the meantime, Suki got worse and looked like she was going to die. I rushed her to a vet close to home (River Heights Animal Hospital). She wouldn't even walk from the car to clinic. They were rude, unprofessional and incompetent. Did an X-ray but no blood work and basically told me she had fluid in her heart, needs a heart specialist, has a mass in her stomach, and it was time to decide it she had lived long enough. Vet had nerve to ask if I needed a few minutes to decide on putting her down. I started crying...not one ounce of compassion. Luckily, Danada finally called back and could see her. I rushed there praying the whole time that Suki would live. They looked at the X-ray and did a full blood work. Turns out Suki had pancreatitis. Her numbers were sky high. They put her on meds, fluids, a prescription food until followup then recommended a low fat diet. Follow up numbers had started decreasing. Suki is back to her bouncy, happy self now. Thank goodness I trusted my gut & got a 2nd opinion at Danada or my baby wouldn't be laying next to me right now. read more

Kind of hard review to write. The vets have taken care of our dog for several years. Recently he was found to have kidney disease. After discussion of all options we brought him home to comfort his last few days. Finally the time came to give him some rest. The staff and doctors where kind and understanding. The charges and care being reasonable. They cared about our dog like it was one of there own. Thanks to staff. read more

We have been using Danada Veterinary Hospital for 10 years for our 3 dogs and have always had an extremely positive experience. Our only suggestion would be to 'clone' Dr. Wallach because she is the most wonderful human being and vet you will ever find! Don't misunderstand us, we also liked the other vets working there very much on the few occasions when Dr. Wallach was not available. However, Dr Wallach is in a class by herself when it comes to the care and empathy she showers on both pets and their humans! She takes time, answers all of our questions, and many times even made follow up phone calls to check that our dog was recovering in a timely manner. I hesitate to post this review in fear that it might become more challenging to get an appointment with her, lol! read more

Friends of ours referred us to Danada Veterinary Hospital shortly after we moved to the area. We treated their referral seriously since they had actually left the Chicagoland area almost 7 years prior. During our first few appointments, it became readily apparent that the staff was a cut above. From the friendly greetings at the front desk to the modern facility (it doesn't smell like urine like most other vets offices do!) to the professionalism exhibited by the vets, the team at Danada takes their work seriously and truly cares about their furry patients. While we frequently visited DVH for our dog's ear infections and annual checkups, our relationship with Dr. Dane wasn't cemented until our beloved Murphy was diagnosed with lymphoma. Previously diagnosed by another vet at another hospital (DVH was closed that day) as "kennel cough," Dr. Dane's thorough examination and collaboration with her colleagues enabled her to discern exactly what ailed him. Given his age, we knew that his prognosis was not good. As the shock of the diagnosis faded and reality crept in, Dr. Dane spent over 45 minutes with us, one on one, to review our treatment options, answer our questions and console us. Sadly, the lymphoma was diagnosed too late for there to be any effective treatment and Murphy had to be put down 5 short weeks later. Never in my life have I witnessed a medical professional demonstrate so much empathy or so much patience. Dr. Dane's compassion for Murphy, her kindness towards us and most importantly, the love that she showered upon our furry friend in his final moments, will forever be with us. While the passing of a family member is never easy, Dr. Dane could not have been a better guide through the process. You will be hard pressed to find a better vet in the western burbs. When we adopt another dog (and we will), our first stop will be to introduce him to Dr. Dane and the team at DVH. Thanks, Dr. Dane! read more

Don't support this place. I went to the Mcdonalds across the lot from the vet clinic today, and I was driving around looking for a place to park that wasn't covered in a foot of snow so I could enjoy my cheeseburger. I decided to park in the vets lot, as it was mostly empty save for two cars, minimal snow, and no private parking signs in sight. I was here for less than five minutes before a blonde woman starts marching her way towards my car. She immediately opens with "what are you doing here? You can't be here." She tells me that "I am not welcome here," and "this is private property" despite the obvious lack of trespassing signs. I left immediately as I wasn't trying to cause any problems, and went to the Aldi next door to finish my burger. I can't help but think that this could be racially motivated, as I am latino, and she kept repeating "You're not welcome here..." This is disheartening to me, I have been here before, and they are usually very nice. Please train your staff on how to be more sensitive, and inclusive. Safe to say, I won't be coming here anymore read more

Dr. Wallach takes the time to listen and presents information in a straightforward, honest manner. She is very gentle with my pets and always goes above and beyond expectations! read more

My dog is now 7 years old and still going strong - thanks in no small part to the wonderful doctors and staff at Danada Veterinary Hospital. Everyone here is truly gentle, caring and professional and I tell everyone I know to bring their furbabies here. Even in spite of my dog's terrified yowling when we bring her in for a visit, the incredibly patient doctors and staff always greet us with a smile. The prices for services here are reasonable and the staff is really great about telling you the cost of things upfront. I can't imagine trusting anyone else with the care of my pet. read more

We just got an eight week old boxer and took him to Danada Veterinary Hospital for his first visit. The doctor was very helpful and up front on providing as much information as possible on the bread and to address any and all questions. We had a weimaraner prior to this pup, and was going to another vet that was not as friendly on the pocket book, or the service. From my initial visit, I would find it hard to beat this operation from a customer service and level of care perspective. read more

I am writing this review before I even go home. In the 7 years of having our dog, we have been to more vets than I can count trying to get people to listen and help with chronic ear infections. Not only over time has this added up to cost thousands of dollars but I have never been fully satisfied in her care options. Not only is this vet affordable, they listen, spend time addressing your concerns and converse with you about the complexity of all issues. They are out for overall health of your dog and not just money. Honestly I was dreading taking my dog to the vet today for yet again another ear issue thinking it would cost $400-600 dollars as this has been the case in the past. Not only was it less than half that, we also were given many more affordable treatment options for now and in the future. Amazing. We have found our new vet and couldn't be more thrilled! read more

Every member of the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. They always fit us in when there is an emergency or refill a prescription quickly. We've seen almost every doctor in the practice and always been pleased with their service and expertise. read more

From the moment we walked into the Danada Animal Veterinary Hospital, to the moment we left the appointment, we found the hospital staff far exceeded our expectations in terms of friendliness, great doctors, beautiful clean facility, and great support staff. We knew before going that they had a very positive reputation, and we are very happy that we did. As the comment by the stars says, As good as it gets! We would highly recommend Danada Veterinary Hospital. read more

Wonderful animal hospital. Dr. Wallach is exceptional. Although she gives my dog shots, he LOVES her. Staff is incredible and very helpful. Keep up the good work! read more

This place is awesome. we have 2 cockapoos and have been going there for 2 years and have called several times with semi emergencies and everyone is always so nice, educated and there are short wait times. read more

We feel so comfortable bringing our dog to Danada. We have been there many times already in the year we have had our dog and whenever something comes up that is worrying us and he needs to be seen quickly, they have been able to work with our schedules to fit him in asap. I love that we get prompt phone calls back from the doctors about any questions I have or to relay test results that weren't available by the time we leave the office (which they usually are). The doctors here are very thorough but only as far as you as the owner feels comfortable going. Any time it was felt that further workup was needed, the doctors have always come to me first to weigh the options and tell me how much everything would cost. Can't forget about everyone else- each staff member there is always so pleasant and helpful and really seems to love working there. read more

The Doctors and staff are great and the facility is very clean and organized. I would highly recommend this Animal Clinic!

Danada Vet is the best! We got a German Shepherd puppy a few weeks ago & weren't sure what vet to choose in the area. We definitely made the right choice! The staff is SOO friendly & helpful. The prices are pretty reasonable & you can't beat the customer service. Our puppy is also taking part in puppy class there right now & Darci is great! read more

After seeing Danada listed as a preferred vet on the House Rabbit Society website, I put in an online form asking about spaying our new pet rabbit, Evelyn. Dr. Laura Wallach called me back personally and spent several minutes talking with me and answering my questions. I was sold at this point, and kept them in the back of my mind, as we were still getting Evelyn settled. A few months later I scheduled the appointment and brought her in this week. Dr. Wallach was as warm, friendly, and caring in person as she was on the phone. She handled Evelyn with the utmost care, talking to her, reassuring her, and showed a deep understanding of how to handle and care for a rabbit. The spay took place without issues and two days later, Evelyn has recovered remarkably well. The rest of the staff at Danada has been wonderful as well. The gentleman who handled her post-op and helped to administer her medicine was friendly and helpful, and the administrative staff were equally as good. If you have rabbits, do not hesitate to take them to Dr. Wallach. It was more expensive than other options, yes. The shelter we adopted her from offered coupons for another vet that offered spays/neuters for about $70. I had taken Evelyn there to investigate some sneezing she was having, and the doctor didn't even remove her from her carrier to investigate her. In fact, he had me stop holding her and put her in the carrier for the exam, stating "No, sometimes they can go crazy." (I quote literally.) While they were professional, I was not impressed with the level of rabbit care they provided, and the doctor treated her more like an inconvenience than the intelligent creature that she is. On the other hand, and in sharp contrast to the poor service I received at the other vet, I heartily recommend Danada for their wonderful staff and facility, and specifically Dr. Wallach for not only providing exceptional customer service but also exceptional veterinary care for my pet. If only most human doctors were as warm and friendly! read more

I've taken my dogs here for decades. The front staff is amazing. They're kind, patient, and helpful. All of the doctors are knowledgeable, well trained, and compassionate. I won't take my dogs anywhere else and neither should you! read more

They were unbelievably great! After a misdiagnosis from another vet my daughters take their dogs here so I brought my chowchow. After seeing her for 5 minutes they diagnosed her nose bleed caused by two abcessed teeth scheduled her for surgery with in hours and within twenty four hours she was back to normal. The vet and staff were so sweet and compassionate I will be referring others to them read more

There are 37 veterinary offices closer to my home than this one. I go the extra distance for them because I know that they go the extra distance for my fur babies. I have been going to Danada Veterinary Hospital since their beginning because I am certain that my furry family members receive the best care possible there. They have saved lives a number of times, and they have been there to see us through the inevitable and sorrowful ends. I have learned a great deal from them and have confidence in all their doctors and staff. They are truly devoted to the well-being of their patients. read more

If you love your animal, this is the practice for you. Words cannot express my gratitude to the Doctors and staff at Danada Vet. Their care, expertise and empathy toward my 13 year old Golden Retriever Henry,was beyond anything I could have imagined. Their recommendations were based on my entire dog, and not about the fiscal advantage. I would trust no one else with my beloved pets read more

Dr. Escutia is fantastic! We have been bringing our 2 dogs to her since we got them 2 years ago. She is very compassionate and great with our dogs. She's also very happy to see us and generally always on time. She really tries to make the dogs feel comfortable and always listens to my concerns and questions. She's also provides useful information in terms of food, behavior and any other questions I may have. I'm so happy that I chose Dr. Escutia as my dogs vet. The ladies at the front are also very nice. They remember us every time we come in to visit and make our dogs feel welcome. read more
