About Vet

Although I cannot prescribe over video, I am familiar with a lot of various over the counter and holistic options :)

Growing up with pets most of my life has allowed me experience just how much meaning a furry little creature can bring to someone’s life, as well as the rest of their family’s. It is this strong impact that our pets have on us and us on them, that has driven me to do what I do. Being a veterinarian and having that privilege to help you make the best diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in caring for your pets is a role that I really enjoy and value. Whether it’s helping you welcome a new pet, preventative health care to keep your animal healthy, or assisting making difficult quality of life decisions, my goal is to continue to make a positive difference in that human-animal bond that is very special to each of us in so many different ways.

As a veterinarian in Illinois, I am not allowed to write prescriptions for my patients. We are required to perform a physical exam in order to do this. If you are in need of advice and guidance for your pet, I am very happy to do so!

Extremely helpful, comforting and amazing! Our family adopted a rescue kitty earlier this year. The local vet was not open and we are not local to Illinois. Dr. Draca was careing, patient, kind, informative and attentive! If we could give Dr. Draca more than 5 stars we definitely would! Thank you Dr. Draca!!!
