Dr. Byron de la Navarre, Animal House of Chicago, 2752 W. Lawrence Ave., Chicago, IL 60625. Ph: (773) 878-8002 Animal House of Chicago Referred by Barb Kahn "I found on my 1st visit with my iguana, that he and his staff are very knowledgeable, the costs are reasonable, they go over in detail the treatment of your pet and they are never too busy to even answer questions by phone. They also have experience with other exotics as well, so if you have other types of pets, they can see them too. There is free parking right in front, so convenient if driving or even taking public transportation, which I do. Even though there are vets closer to me, I am very satisfied with my choice of veterinary care provider."

When my ig was egg-bound, he discussed all the options with us and ended up performing a spay. Also I get lab results from blood panels while I wait. He is connected with the U of I's vet school so sometimes he is teaching future vets about how to care for exotic pets."
