Olsen Veterinary Clinic

I wouldn’t take my pets anywhere else! Dr. Olsen is a life saver! I’m so glad I was recommended to him!

Best in Glen Carbon...... Olsen Veterinary Clinic cares about every animal the walks in the door A+++++

Dr. Olsen is a great veterinarian! When my other vet had failed helping me with my shih tzu and what I could do for his sensitive stomach, I called Dr. Olsen. I was so shocked when he answered the phone himself and that he answered it on a Sunday. He was more than willing to talk to me and give me some advice. I then decided to switch vets. He has been great with my dog and cat. His office help is also very nice and offered some food to see if my dog liked it (free of charge). As said in other reviews, it's not a fancy place, but that is the least of my concerns. He loves animals and it shows through his care. Thanks Dr. Olsen!

I am a physician in the neighboring town of Highland. My wife and I have trusted Dr. Olsen to taking care of our pets for 5 years. He has shown to be compassionate, friendly, and affordable. We have lived in various parts of the country and have been to many vets. He by far is the best we have ever had. One incidence that occurred with my cat was when she got into a fight with some wild animal in our backyard. The wound was just nasty, her vitals were diminishing fast, and Dr. Olsen came into his office after hours. This is something to be expected of a healer, but Dr. Olsen reminds you of a FDR (Roselvelt) kinda guy. He is a quite, but loving and sensitive person towards animals. He has a nature about him that calms animals and this is overall why we go to him. His office is pet friendly, not the Taj Majal, and neither are his prices. He is very affordable.

If you are considering a caretaker and doctor for your pets, I would strongly advise you to trust this testimonial because it comes from our hearts. We are so grateful for Olsen Veterinary Clinic and what you have done for our pets.

First off, Doc cares about his animals and that is a fact. The office is clean and has been updated. It doesn't smell of cat urine and only one cat is in the office hanging out. He had some turnover a year or two ago in the office but now has wonderful, caring ladies running the office. Going to his clinic isn't like stepping into a high-end vet clinic with gorgeous new furniture etc. But it's a true vet office. You aren't in there for an "experience" you are in there to get your family pet taken care of by a doctor who is up on all of the latest procedures and will hopefully be able to help your sweet pet get better.

As with mine, she had to be put down due to congestive heart failure and his compassion was amazing. Everyone in the office was so supportive.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR BELOVED PET TO THIS CLINIC. THIS VET KILLED MY DOG. He said everything was fine. Then later that week she started howling and crying in the middle of the night. So we took her to Hawthorne and she ended up having 5 things wrong with her. The next day she only had a couple hours left. So we put her down. We now call Olsen Veterinary Clinic: Home of the Hack Vet. They overcharge and didn't get billing right. It also has cats crawling EVERYWHERE. They let them roam in the office. I think that's a health violation. It also explains why it smells like cat pee. It's very uncleanly too. I wouldn't ever suggest this to a friend

Dr. Olsen has been my vet for several years. He treats my animal friends with compassion and has an innate sense of diagnosis which is always backed up by tests or x-rays. He made a house call to euthanise my large dog (about 15 miles one way) saving the pain, anxiety and stress Bellamy would have suffered. There have been several neuterings and spayings over the years plus emergency care when needed. His good advice with small problems is well worth listening to. The office staff is competent, very friendly and go beyond what is required of them to make the animals feel safe in what could be an anxious office visit. One of the girls even stopped by the house to check on the victim of a hit and run driver with a broken leg and pelvis. Dr. Olsen had done a very good job of inserting a pin in the dog's leg. If you are looking for a vet that goes the extra mile in all areas of animal medicine, Dr. Olsen is the one to call.

A couple of weeks ago my 1 year old cat was really lethargic and acting very weird. One morning she didn't make it to her litter box and knew something was very wrong. I called Dr. Olsen's office at 9AM and told them that I was really worried and wanted to know what I could do to help her. They put me on hold for minute and then got back on and told me to bring her in at 9:30am. The Dr. on duty was excellent with her. She performed some tests and discovered that my baby was sick. She perscribe some meds for the cat and within a week, she was back to her old self. Thank you so much for getting me in ASAP!

My pet had an emergency in the middle of the night, and I called Dr. Olsen. Within minutes he called me right back and met me at the clinic. Thanks to Dr. Olsen I still have my pet "Fluffy".

I took my dogs sample up to Olsen and dropped it off. The girl at the desk told me they would call me in 1 hour to let me know what kind of worms he had. Well I called every single day up till today (5 days) to get his results and the girl tells me, "OH, he doesn't have worms." Well there was a worm in the sample that was alive and crawling around in it. I asked her about the worm I showed her and she said that it was "too old" to tell. Well it was alive when I dropped it off! Now I have to pay for his stool sample when they probably just threw it all away and don't even give a crap about my dog. What a great Vet. haha.
