Millis Animal Hospital

I’ve been to many clinics and this is by far the most professional, friendly, organized, and competent. The staff are wonderful and always so helpful, and the veterinarians have been great with my senior dog each time we visit. I recommend this clinic to everyone!

Fast service, friendly happy staff, reasonable prices. We switched from our vet down the street, that kept us waiting all the time and over charged constantly for services we didn’t ask for. When I walk in here I get seen with 5 minutes, and I don’t have to wait at all in the room for someone to actually look at my dogs. Love this place and everyone here is wonderful!

Best clinic I’ve been to since I’ve had my dogs. I love the walk in appointments, and the wait is never long. The hours are fantastic as well. Being a walk in clinic you get a variety of vets but every time the service is impeccable. I would trust me dogs with any of them. They do the tests needed but don’t rip you off like I have been at other clinics. It’s quick in and out and flawless in between.

Love this place! I take my dog and two cats here. My dog is a rescued racer (greyhound) and greyhounds require special treatment as their vitals differ from most other dog breeds. Millis is able to properly care for her! Their prices are reasonable and I LOVE not having to make an appointment (and I have never waited longer than 10 minutes). Can’t say enough good things about Millis! If you love your pets, take them here!

VERY reasonable prices and I really feel like they’re not trying to upcharge you every chance they get. Truly the best vet experience I’ve had.

Hesitated to go here for fear of new building/​potentially high prices. I have now gone five times and could not be more impressed or grateful. The prices are reasonable, but so much more than that, the doctors are both skilled and kind. Dr. Albrecht is a lovely person, and has helped me with my cats several times. Clearly, he is a highly experienced veteran of the animal helping profession, and always provides gentle yet targeted treatments that resolve the problem. Dr. Savage (I hope I’m remembering her name correctly) also was very good. They take you in quickly so your agonizing, worried time is minimized. I feel so fortunate to have found this place and their caring finesse. Thank you!

No appointment necessary. Open til 2 on Sat. Many vets on staff. Not glamorous looking, but nice, hardly any wait (even last minute on Sat) the vet was nice and he asked maybe 2 questions. My dog injured her leg chasing something in my yard late Friday night. — – and when I called my go-​to vet of 7 years Sat morning, yes last minute, but I live 2 minutes away –they said were booked and I could come Monday. And she suggested I go to the emergency hospital. (‘My Best Friend pet…) The good news was — we came to MILLIS. My dog was treated well and quickly. One thing that made me nervous. was the vet, dr. Mark Albers ’ Very first question was «are, you open to surgery?» He hadn’t touched her and he had no history on her, he had never met her„ he didn’t even ask how she got the injury. I was shocked. (and YES-​I would do anything to make her better!). Yet, I asked, can’t you look at her first? He was irritated. He, then, made a comment about her collar– and he told me– they had no idea about surgery until they put the dog «out» and then– if necessary, they wood operate. He gave me meds, and said to call if I had any questions. The good news and the bad news is — I wasn’t in the facility for more than 35 minutes. It’s now 6 days later and my dog is better. Still a stiff leg, with meds, but not bad, like she was.
So I have a really kind, smart friend that goes here with her two dogs. And I guess, if you just need shots or simple tests– this is your place. For seriously comprehensive care I suggest you make an appointment and ask more questions before, you make a serious decision.

First of all: this is not an emergency clinic! It’s more the equivalent of your general practitioner’s office, not the place you’d go to for a life-​threatening emergency, but a good place for smaller matters, check ups, vaccinations, etc. Nice place with reasonable prices. The people working here are very gentle, and their love for the animals is clear. They accept walk ins. My dog does tend to get a little scared here, but that’s pretty normal for a dog at the vets.

Millis is a great vet to bring your pet to, decent prices and hardly ever a long wait. My husband and I recently had to make the heart wrenching decision to euthanize our beloved kitty Baby. It was beyond difficult to say the least and we have had such a hard time dealing with the loss. In saying this, although all the vets who helped to take care of my precious little man up until that time were nice, I think it would be a nice touch if Millis could do a follow up call to check up on the family after losing a pet. I really think that would be an amazing touch to their office. I know I would have appreciated it. One thing I did not appreciate however was the fact that they somehow had my number typed incorrect in the computer and therefore I did not get a call that my kitty’s ashes were ready to be picked up. He sat on a shelf for two days until I called to inquire about the pick up, I was already grieving pretty badly and this just made it worse. Yes people make mistakes but in this case, it was not helpful at all. All in all, I would still recommend Millis.

This is a caring animal hospital run by a staff of people who always create a welcoming atmosphere and appreciation of their clients and pets. I have probably seen every vet over the years and have always felt well cared for.

I have to leave a review since Unilocal was how I found Millis in the first place! This is probably the 4^th vet I’ve taken my dog to, and it’s def the best experience we’ve had. I love not having to make an appointment since the first time I went in was for an emergency-​ish and my schedule is usually crazy. And even without an appointment we rarely have to wait long. My dog loves Dr. Walker, and she really takes great care of Corpus. I’ve been to some real judgey vets in the past, but Dr. Walker is helpful and kind. Price-​wise it might be a little higher than places I’ve gone before but it’s worth it.

Great place! Checking Unilocal reviews before deciding on a vet definitely paid off. My ‘lil guy was experiencing horrific ear pain today, so I took him in thinking it was an ear infection. Millis had the best reviews around and enthusiastically took walk-​ins, so I decided to give them my business.
I admit that their check-​up price was a bit steep ($ 55; I usually pay $ 40 – 45 at other places), but doggie care is still a HELL of a lot cheaper than human care, so the price difference was no biggie. And his meds were only $ 24!
Very happy. Will definitely come back when necessary.

I am blown away with the care my cat received at Millis! I had to have him declawed and wanted to be sure the procedure in such a way so his pain was minimized. They kept him for two days, but offered to let me visit whenever I wanted. The front desk staff were incredibly kind, the doctors knowledgable, and overall a wonderful clinic! I picked up my cat and he didn’t seem frightened or scared like I expected. I would highly recommend Millis over other local clinics!

I moved from the Chicago area to be with my boyfriend in 2011. Having been with one vet service for so many years I was anxious about finding a new one to take care of my now 15 year old male cat Maxx, a Manx with diabetes. I just love this place. When I first learned that they didn’t take appointments I envisioned waiting for hours but was so amazed how fast it goes. I have waited longer in the past with an appointment!
I was so amazed at how they remember us each time we come.
Another thing I love is that even though there are no appointments you can stay with one vet which really means a lot to me!
They are also so reasonable which means a lot to us «frequent flyers»
We are now facing more health issues with Maxx but I know whatever happens they will be with us all the way.
I never write reviews but this place deserves the best!

Dr. Larry Millis helped us when we had to make the awful decision to end the pain and suffering for our beloved Vito. He explained all of our options besides euthanasia, going over the cost and outlook for the procedures.
He explained about the likelihood of success and ultimately advised euthanasia would involve the least amount of pain and suffering. He apologized for our loss and let us know we could take as much time as we needed to say our goodbyes.
His staff was kind and caring. It was clear that he loves his work and is a sympathetic vet. We have switched vets permanently for our other two dogs and will continue using Millis in the future. The fact they accept walk-​ins only for check ups and offer reasonable rates gives us the convenience and ease we are looking for in a vet clinic. Thank you Millis for helping us through our tough time!

We just moved back here and didn’t have a vet lined up when our cat suddenly became urgently sick. Millis opens early (8am), and when we called they said, «Come right on in. You don’t need an appointment» We were seen within minutes, and the doctor assessed the situation immediately. It was scary, and I cannot commend Millis enough for how wonderfully they treated our cat and my family. He had to stay two nights following his operation, and they welcomed us to come visit him as much as we wanted. The doctor spent a lot of time with us explaining what had been done, what he was watching for, and what we needed to do to prevent it from happening again. We were so impressed and grateful.

I was very, very pleased with my experience with this hospital. Our cat had a UTI & we were able to walk right in with out an appointment & see a doctor with in 10 minutes & 10 minutes after that everything was taken care of & we were able to go home. It was very simple & I felt they had my cats best interest at heart as well. She gets feisty so they took her into a quieter, dark room & were able to calm her down & do the exams needed for her. Also, I was very pleased with their pricing. It felt very strait forward & honest.

My Fiancé and I love this place! Very clean, friendly staff. Most importantly, the vets (we’ve now seen two different gentlemen) are so nice to my dog! We rescued him from an abusive home so he is nervous, especially around men. We took him to a different animal hospital and didn’t like how they treated him. Millis loves my dog and think he’s such a good boy. It makes me happy to know we found an animal hospital that takes the time to actually care about the DOG, not just our money.

I have been taking my new puppy to Millis since November 2013. They are very professional, helpful and responsive. I’ve called and talked to my vet twice this week for questions surrounding hookworms and treatment. The vets are always available to talk things through with you, or if they are with a patient, they call back within the hour.
They are also very affordable. When they are closed on the weekend, we take our puppy to another vet nearby, but their prices are always much more than Millis. I like the facility a lot.

Took Shayna here before we left for California. Since we were flying together (yes, you can fly on Southwest with a cat), it was recommended that she get some kitty drugs to mellow her out.
I was a tad nervous that we’d be assigned to some sort of straight edge vet who warned against drugging animals. Luckily, this wasn’t the case. She prescribed Shayna some sedatives, but also suggested that we try them out at home in case she has a bad reaction. And we did test them out on a two-​hour car ride back and forth from Decatur, IL.
The day of our flight, Shayna was a pro! She definitely cried and whined (who wouldn’t after 8+ hours of traveling?), but was able to sleep a little and didn’t flip out on the plane.
I’m going to miss Millis Animal Hospital and all of their kind employees who treated us so well over the years. Hope we can find a vet as good as this in South Bay.
