Welcome to Chi-town. There are very good vets in the area. Dr. Ness & Dr. Nye (both formerly of Midwest Exotics also an excellent facility) of Ness Exotic in Lisle, IL, Dr Todd Grey of Arboretum View in Downers Grove, IL, Dr. Ristch of Indian Prairie Animal Hospital in Aurora, IL just to name a few. I have used each and every one of these doctors with excellent results.
Hope to see you at a local herp show!
