Dr. Olsen was able to see my dog within 24 hours of requesting an appointment. He was on time and took the time to understand what was going on with Harley. She needed sedation and he was gentle with her. He reassured me that she was going to come out of sedation. During sedation, he was able to clip her ripped nail, check the others, and trim them as well. This was not our first time with Dr. Olsen and it won't be our last.

Dr Olsen and his staff are so welcoming. Dr. Olsen has a way of putting our little dog at ease. He is very knowledgeable and explains things to us. We respect him and are so glad to have him care for our little Ernie and the two dogs we had before Ernie.

The staff was professional and kind, Dr. Olson was obviously very knowledgeable and experienced and you could tell he cares about animals. The cost to treat both of our ailing pets was very reasonable. All in all it was a wonderful experience, I would recommend Olson veterinary clinic to anyone!

I love Dr Olsen. He has done a very good veterinary service for the greater Glen Carbon, IL area. His service helps working families protect their small animals from rabies.

We are currently on dog #2 under Dr. Olsen's care. Our previous dog and current dog have always received wonderful care. "Doc" is knowledgeable and his years of experience are very beneficial when it comes to providing care. He is honest and will provide multiple treatment options if available. His prices are fair and much cheaper than some of the big clinics/hospitals in the area. Those cheaper prices are a good thing, it means you aren't paying for services or tests your pet doesn't need.

Rescued a puppy. Part of the rescue was having her spayed at Olsen. There were comications the next day. Called and left a message. They were not open so had to use another veterinarian office. The other office said the puppy was too young to have been spayed and the procedure was performed in a way that made it more prone to infections. The biggest complaint is that Olsen never followed up with us from the message left regarding to to post-op issues. Have since heard from 2 others that this is the same they have experienced.
