The only reason I am giving 1 star is for the vet himself, otherwise I'd give zero.
I have a 9 month old Siberian Husky puppy. We have gone to this vet and more often than not the problems lie with the receptionists and vet techs.
I took her to get her stitches out after her spay. She is a very anxious dog so I knew it would be difficult. What I did not know is that they would be taking the stitches out in the lobby of the office. They excepted me to hold her down which I tried to do, but as anxious as she was, that couldn't be attained. As my dog snipped at the vet tech because of how scared she was, she directed the other woman to grab a muzzle. While they struggled to put the muzzle on her, the vet tech Amanda pulled her collar back tight in a very aggressive way. They then pushed her onto the floor to get her stitches out and ridiculed me about where I take her to get her training done. Please keep in mind that this was all done in the LOBBY of the office. How is it ok to take stitches out without wearing gloves, in a non sterile environment? They have been nothing but rude and empathetic and constantly remind me that "she's a husky, she's fine". While I'm well aware of the type of breed I own, I will not tolerate someone treating me like a child and expecting me to do their job, while throwing my dog around like a rag doll. Do yourself a favor and take your animal elsewhere that has empathy and understands. While Dr. C is great at what he does, his condensing, snobby, and rude assistants will never lay a finger on my dog again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mack W.San Francisco, CA01Feb 1, 2022
They refused to see my dog who was a patient for over 10 years, for an acute problem....they brushed me off referring us to an emergency vet...not necessary....unresponsive after so many years...read other reviews...same stories...

I moved from Naperville to Des Plaines in June, and needed to find a new vet for my cats and the sweet senior prom-mix (Tinkerbell) I adopted this past April.
I made an appointment at Aberdeen since it's only a couple miles from my new house, and because of all the great reviews I found.
Everyone there was very nice, and I only had to wait about 5 minutes (after getting checked in) to see the doctor. The vet was very personable and was gentle with Tinkerbell while looking her over.
He recommended getting her teeth cleaned, so I made that appointment while I was there. They were completely up-front about pricing, and prepared an estimate for the next visit while I checked out. Pricing is very reasonable, and although I don't have a basis for comparison (since I've only had cats until recently); I don't feel like they are overcharging for services like I'm sure my last vet did.
I highly recommend this practice.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Megan H.Jackson, IN17Apr 22, 2019
Dr. Christopoulos is fantastic. He genuinely cares about his patients. He is an outstanding veterinarian and I would recommend anyone looking for a personable and professional doctor for their pets to go to Aberdeen Animal Hospital.
The vet techs/staff are also friendly and welcoming every time I go in.
I am so grateful that I have such a great doctor for my dogs.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rita K.Mt Prospect, IL1693Feb 2, 2019
They always take great care of my cats. You can tell the entire staff really loves animals and they treat them like they are their own.
The girls at the front desk are super sweet as well and very informative regarding my pets needs. I highly recommend Aberdeens animal hospital!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - George G.Des Plaines, IL769536Jan 10, 2017
What an amazing animal hospital! I am glad I found this place. Talk about an eye opener/game changer. I used to take my dogs to banfield. After coming here, you realize how much of a joke banfield really is. Everyone at this vet are very nice. And Dr. Chris, amazing. He explains things to you in ways you can understand. And he doesn't charge a second mortgage to see and treat your pets. I can't even tell you how many wrong diagnoses came out of banfield. And how much more we paid because of their inflated prices. Our dogs haven't been this healthy and happy in a long while. And we have Aberdeen to thank for that.
If you are new to the area or looking for a second opinion, or changing vets, schedule your appointment here. You won't be disappointed.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Daniel H.Park Ridge, IL3342Jun 15, 2021
My family has been taking our fur children to Dr. C for several generations now, he's absolutely amazing. Highly recommended.

Excellent care, excellent vet. When you go to many other vet clinics, you (very often) don't know who you're actually going to see. And the vet that you do see is frequently a recent vet school graduate with limited experience.
At Aberdeen, you know who you're going to see every time: a veteran, experienced doctor who's seen it all. The staff at the front desk is great,too. If you're anywhere close to Aberdeen, do your pet a favor and visit Dr. Christopoulos.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Annie S.San Diego, CA11143140Oct 31, 2016
My dog and I have only been here once, but we look forward to being lifelong patrons of this establishment! We had a truly wonderful experience.
Previously, we were patrons of multiple Banfield locations but the downright awful way we were treated left us looking for a new vet. Transferring my dog's care to Aberdeen was painless; the vet tech I dealt with was clear and concise in helping me gather everything I needed for our first appointment (medical history, stool sample, etc).
Upon arrival, we were checked in and saw the vet promptly - there was no wait. Dr. Christopolous was on vacation, but the relief vet we saw was absolutely wonderful with my slightly shy dog. It was complete night and day in comparison to vet care we've received elsewhere. She also gave us some good recommendations on how to keep his joints healthy during our long-distance jogging.
Overall, so pleased with my first experience and looking forward to more (if that is a thing that can be said about taking your dog to the vet lol).Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - D H.West Hills, West Hills, CA1259May 14, 2019
I am from out of state and brought my cats with me and one got sick:( I was very reluctant to take my sick cat to a new vet but thanks to the Yelp reviews found this one and was very happy with the vet/office. The room was clean, the vet nice and very generous with his time. My cat liked the vet and the staff and the visit was not stressful for her. The visit was affordable and the vet was thorough with his exam and honest with his assessment/recommendation and didn't push for expensive tests. There was no wait for me when I arrived at my scheduled time and the office visit was arranged that same day. The best thing: no paperwork! I would return to this vet if I lived in the area. Thank you!!!
