- MMMarisol Martinez3 days ago1.0They had me waiting for 20 minutes and then hang up and I call again and had me waited again. Horrible service just to schedule an appointment waited almost 40 minutes.
- ABAmy BurnsNov 4, 20251.0They did well until I needed a rabies tag printout. They had me on hold for over an hour combined. When I called a 4th time to speak to a human instead of being on hold for 30 + minutes and waiting more, I told them I need a printout of a rabies tag to pick up tomorrow (I’m battling a cold, don’t have a lot of energy, and I was calling to try and get it printed and picked up tonight 11/4). They told me you can call tomorrow and they will print it out then. I was trying to get through so I could get it tonight because the rude receptionist on 10/27 didn’t give me the print out and they all know I’m moving across the country. So I called for a piece of paper that takes a minute to print and I need to pick up that should have been given to me on 10/27 and they waisted over an hour of time that prevented me from picking it up tonight, so I have no choice but to get it another time supposedly because they only have 1 person working the front.
- DNDeb NettlesOct 15, 20255.0I read some reviews saying staff was not nice, however, I did not find that to be true. The staff were nice, helpful and easy to work with. When I first booked the appt, I had tried the location closest to me (Elmhurst), but after calling 4-5 times and nobody answered the phone I called the Brickyard location. I’m glad I did!
- CWCarolyn WoodardsOct 14, 20255.0Bingo had a great visit. The front desk clerk that assisted me prior to getting in today for our appointment was very helpful and thorough and our vet tech. Danely was awesome.
- VZVanessa ZepedaOct 13, 20255.0I have always used Banfield Pet Hospital for all my pets. This hospital has always taken excellent care of my dogs. They know them by name and they get to know them. This team and Dr. Ikeda know both of my dogs and understand both of their personalities. My dog Noah is a reactive dog and the entire team takes great care of him knowing his limitations. I recommend taking your pet here, they are compassionate and take great care of my babies.

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?
Optimum Wellness Plans are designed to provide annual preventive care. They include head-to-tail exams, vaccines, early screening diagnostics, consultations for proper nutrition, dental care and more! Since wellness plans are not insurance, they do not include treatment for unpredictable or abnormal conditions, however discounts would apply. Because pets need ongoing preventive care, wellness plans automatically renew at the end of each twelve month period (unless paid in full at enrollment).
How do I pay for an Optimum Wellness Plan?
You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
• In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
• Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
