Animal Doctor
OUR DOCTORS
Karen Hinkle, DVM

She practiced as an associate veterinarian at several high-volume suburban Chicago hospitals and started a veterinary house call practice before purchasing Town & Country in 2001.

Accepting New Patients
I’ve been taking my pets to T&C for decades and I won’t take them anywhere else. The staff there is so kind and understanding and treat my fur kids as if they are their own.
The staff is very knowledgeable and compassionate. They go the extra mile whenever possible. Once you experience the best, you won’t look any further. My fur babies look forward to visiting the vet!
I absolutely love all of the staff and doctors at Town & Country Animal Hospital! I have been a client for 10+ years and taken all of my fur babies to them. I have never felt rushed, they take time to listen and answer all of my questions! There are lots of other veterinarians closer to home, however I will always drive the 30 minute drive because they are incredible! I’ve had lots of sick pets throughout the years- a dog that was hit by a car, cats with FELV, and cat with kidney failure. They have always gone out of their way to help and assist when needed and full of compassion. They really do care about their patients and their families! Prices are also fair and reasonable which is a bonus! Do not hesitate, it is worth the drive to be a part of the Town & Country Animal Hospital Family!
