This review is long overdue. My two dogs, Zazu and Sven, have been coming here for the past seven years since they were puppies.
Dr. Kroll is the primary vet they see, and she is one of the most amiable and compassionate vets you will ever meet. I feel very comfortable with my dog's health in her hands. There have been times when she had called on her days off to check in on Zazu or Sven when they were sick. Sven is not a fan of going to any vet office. Dr. Kroll and the techs will take as much time as needed to ensure Sven is as comfortable as possible for the entire visit.
If Dr. Kroll is unavailable, Dr. Rudigier is a fantastic vet who has also treated both Sven and Zazu. Even though she doesn't see them regularly, Dr. Kroll and her communicate so much that she knows everything about my dogs. Each vet tech has shown so much love for Sven and Zazu every time they come in. I can tell how much they genuinely care for everyone's pets. Christy & Kristen, who are both certified vet techs, know and treat Zazu and Sven like they are their pups.
Even if they are not the tech for the appointment, they will come in to say hi to Sven and Zazu.
Dr. Cook is excellent and performed the tightrope surgery on both of Sven's Cranial Cruciate Ligaments (CCL) about six years ago. Sven runs and plays just as much as he did before the surgeries. Last year, he did a great job on my mom's dog CCL. Everyone at this vet office, from the front desk receptionists to all the doctors and vet techs, will make your pet's well-being their number one priority. Highly recommend this place to be your primary veterinarian office.

Our vet in Iowa recommended that our 7 year Black Lab have Arthroscopic surgery on his knee by Dr Cook instead of invasive surgery like a TPLO. We drove over 2 hours expecting our dog would have surgery & Dr Cook was very honest & said given our dogs symptoms, we should just wait & see how he does.....Dr Cook said that if it was his dog, that is what he would do! We really appreciated his honesty and you can tell that Dr Cook has the best interest of an animal in mind! Hopefully our dog will not need surgery in the future, but if he does, we will definitely be coming back to Animal Medical Clinic of St Charles!

This vet is still under COVID protocols but the doctors take the time to explain everything they did and any treatment needed for my pet over the phone. Dr. Amy and all of the staff is very caring and helpful whenever I bring in my new puppy. Great suggestions on food for picky eating pets. My pet has fun coming here for a visit. Will be back!

My dog was in great pain for several days. They listened to my serious concerns and took her in quickly, which led to x-rays and the removal of obstructions in her stomach and intestines. The entire staff was compassionate and helpful from the start. The doctors were knowledgeable and thorough. We are so grateful that Penny was in such good hands in this emergency. I can't say enough good things about AMC.
