Burnham Park Animal Hospital

I have had almost every doctor in the office treat both my dogs and every time they are very empathetic and take their time when treating them. I appreciate how they are flexible especially with my more nervous dog by checking her while she’s with me. I also like that they are quick to call or email me with results and explain them to me.

We’ve been taking our cats to Burnham Park Animal Hospital for the past several years, and are truly grateful for their expertise and kindness! From routine dental cleanings to annual exams to an unexpected tail amputation procedure (our cat very spontaneously decided to eat his own tail, aah!), the staff has been nothing but thorough, caring, and patient every visit. We appreciate how transparent they are about procedure costs and how they go over aftercare/medication plans with you in detail before you leave. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our little voidlings.

We started taking our cats a couple years ago. I have a total of 3 cats, Coda (black), Peppa (gray) and Puma (Siamese). The doctors and their assistants are all so kind, really patient. The young ladies at the front desk are exceptional too. I believe the prices are reasonable. We’ve had everything from tooth extractions, dermatitis, sprang foot, and routine care.

The receptionist was professional but no bundle of joy. Does she like dogs? But the tech was very nice and attentive and thorough, and I really liked Dr. Schell's ideas and plan for treating my dog. I felt relieved when I left.

We have been going to Dr. Olson for 3 years and we RAVE about her. She is so kind, considerate, and listens to all our crazy concerns about our babies. She always sends a follow up email with links to helpful articles related to what we talked about in our visit. She remembers us every single time. The clinic itself is always clean and usually running on time or a little early. My sphynx has had to have a few teeth removed and the whole process was so smooth. We always feel taken care of and anytime we have had to leave our pets with Dr. Olson- we know they're in the best hands. The vet tech team has always been great as well! They're all so sweet and caring with both our babies. I can't recommend Dr. Olson enough!! And the whole Burnham Park team :)

AVOID AT ALL COST! THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS! They sell you on their "plan" and when you need to see a vet you find out it covers nothing. Then when you try to cancel the plan, they over charge you for the "services" they provided so you have no choice but to pay the marked up fees for unnecessary services they offered, thinking it was covered. Also, the vets are quite incompetent. They couldn't answer multiple questions regarding our dog that gets seizures and recommended seizure causing medication which other vets said was unacceptable. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO ELSEWHERE!

UPDATE: 10/3/25 I brought Koda in again this year for his annual dental cleaning, and I’m happy to say that my experience with Burnham Park Animal Hospital continues to be outstanding. Their team consistently provides exceptional care and truly treats your pets like their own. Dr. Schell was fantastic per usual, and Sofia at the front desk was incredibly kind and responsive - she kept me updated via email throughout the procedure, which I really appreciated and also asked how Koda was doing this morning after the procedure. The vet techs were also wonderful, handling everything with professionalism and compassion. This hospital is incredibly well-run, and it’s clear they know exactly what they’re doing. I wholeheartedly recommend Burnham Park Animal Hospital to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets! 5/7/24: My little shih-tzu Koda had to get a dental cleaning and 2 teeth removed. Big shout out to Dr. Schell, he’s the best!

I brought my Belgian Malinois in for his annual shots. I decided to get him a complete tune-up so he received shots, dental check-up, and nails clipped. Dr. Ohlsen took great care of him. He is starting to get a little arthritis now so she told me what to do. He needs to lose about 12 pounds! Those damned eyes of his get to me everytime and I give him treats. Nope. That stops today. He behaved very well. All the staff is very nice and friendly. He cost me $300 today. My little buddy is worth it though. Great place! SB
