Love dr. javelin! however, the office manager and other inexperienced staff do an extremely poor job even at the most basic level! This is not the first time i have felt like this clinic is all about the money, but the situation today just confirms that!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE This Vet, the few times I've had to bring my bff Enzo my pitty there he's always got the best doctors and the best treatment I could ask for. And they are great with working with me on paymeants as in plans or to work around how much cash ill have at the time but still make sure my pup gets all the help and Meds he needs. And my pup LOVES them all up there. If I could I'd give them a billion star's! There very deserving of them wnd more. Will never take andy of my pets aka family to any other vet! Thank you all and my pup thanks you! XOXO Hannah Hartwell & Enzo

This is the only place in Rockford I will take my cats if I have the choice. All three of mine have been seeing Dr. Korpan for a few years now and she is nothing short of fantastic! I can be very anxious when it comes to the health of my pets because they're my family and it's hard when they can't actually tell us what's wrong. I've never once doubted the exam or advice that Dr. Korpan has given me, and my cats always end up feeling better!

She's knowledgeable, extremely thorough, and very good at explaining everything! More than that she truly cares, is very empathetic, and she wants to make sure your babies are feeling better. I recommend Bellwood and Dr. Korpan to every pet parent I know. I'm forever thankful that I found her for my cats. For anyone with cats looking for a new vet, here's what my three go through: one is diabetic which was found and promptly treated by Dr. Korpan. One has urinary issues and cystitis. One had to have some teeth extracted and it went perfectly.

I could not be happier with this place! I have taken my dog to see both Dr. Jallen and Dr. Korpan, and I have been very happy with the care she has received. The doctors always take their time to discuss treatment options and thoroughly answer my questions. I think my dog gets better medical care than I do!
