★★★★★ This is a great vet clinic. I trust Dr Whittle and his staff in the care of my dogs and know they will help guide me in important decisions regarding the well being and life of my beloved pets. It’s important to me to have a good relationship with my vet and they have surpassed my expectations.Maryann A.Maryann A. ★★★★★ The Staff is very helpful and the doctors are kind and intelligent.Leanna G.Leanna G. ★★★★★ Dr. Carlson is a vet who truly loves animals and has a passion for taking care of our fur babies. She and her assistant were so friendly and excited to take care of my dog for his ear infection. They made sure to make my dog comfortable by giving him treats and made me comfortable with explanations of what was happening. It was my first time here, and I would definitely come back. My original vet from another clinic said she can take my dog in a WEEK. That's too long a wait. I'm glad this clinic cared for my dogClaudia D.Claudia D. ★★★★★ Well, here I am again, this time regarding Bear's sister Bella. Yet AGAIN the wonderful physicians and staff took the utmost care of her. Surgery this time needed for Bella. Dr. Carlson performed the surgery and stayed after hours to supervise her post-surgical until she was ready to come home that night. Dr. Conrad handled her post-surgical observation the next day. Both kept me apprised every step of the way. I also heard through the grapevine that Dr. Carlson called on her day off to check on Bella. There is nothing more you can ask of this group. You are all the best and know how much I trust and love you ALL!!!I cannot thank you enough for your excellent veterinary skills and TLC you have shown our cats for the past 20 years! What you did for Bear, AGAIN was over and above what anyone could ask for. This is the SECOND time he needed emergency surgery and Dr. Whittle came in on his day off. Again, Dr. Whittle and this time, Dr. Conrad were just so amazing I cannot say enough about them! Thank you for caring so much & for taking the utmost care of my fur baby.sharon M.sharon M. ★★★★★ My appointment with my puppy Bailey (Cavalier) went well and everyone at Mill Creek Animal Clinic was extremely professional.

My faithful little friend Bella passed on September 29, 2023 and I am devastated, but the staff was so wonderful to such a fearful little cat AND to me, since I was a mess. Dr. Francis explained everything and took such care with Bella, and although I am lost without the companion I’d had for 16 years, the doctors and staff were the only ones who not only cared about my kitty, but understood what it is like to lose them. Thank you all for the wonderful, healthy years that you helped to give Bella, and the compassionate care you gave her at the end of her life.Debbie K.Debbie K. ★★★★★ Everyone was very nice thereMargaret W.Margaret W. ★★★★★ Great doctors and staffPat F.Pat F. ★★★★★ I've been taking my dog to Mill Creek Animal Clinic for a few years now and everyone there is very pleasant and professional.

Drs.Conrad, Francis and Whittle take great care of our cats even when the cats are difficult. Love all the staff at Mill Creek.LSB BLSB B ★★★★★ Shout out to Dr Carlson & staff at Mill Creek Animal Clinic for going above & beyond to make sure that Bear had a stress-free annual exam. Bear is pretty big, & these two ladies fed him treats & conducted the entire exam, blood draw, inoculation administration & nail trim, while talking gently with him and sitting on the floor with him to keep him calm. Needless to say, they must have been exhausted afterwards. We cannot thank them enough for spending so much time with him, just so he did not get too stressed out. Mill Creek Animal Clinic in Palos Park, IL is the BEST!Kathi L.Kathi L. ★★★★★ I literally can not say enough good things about this office.

They are wonderful with my cat who is nearly 16 years old and has been a very frightened and stressed kitty for several years. The staff is always accommodating and thoughtful, especially when I need to schedule appointments. Since my kitty is especially fearful of dogs in general, I am usually able to schedule checkups when there are no or very few other dogs nearby. Many thanks and much appreciation from myself and "Bella"!Debbie K.Debbie K. ★★★★★ Mill Creek is the vet clinic we selected to try out after moving to Palos Park. Our experiences with our dogs have been nothing but wonderful. The staff has always been lovely, kind, and definitely show they care about your fur babies. Since establishing care with them, we’ve had to visit more often than other pet owners due to ongoing allergies, etc. Unfortunately, February through beginning of April has been a horrible couple months for us as we lost both our hounds within a short period of time. From the urgent vet trips, to the final vet trips where we had to say goodbye , we were given so much support and love by the staff from phone calls during after hours by the vets, to fitting us in at random and inconvenient times, to condolence cards and words of comfort when we had to say our goodbyes for each dog. I cannot thank Dr. Carlson enough for her big heart through the hardest times of my life. She showed my babies compassion and gave her entire expertise to care for them until there was nothing left. I would trust her with any of my fur babies over again. She went through it all with us and provided a shoulder to cry on when I couldn’t take the pressure myself. Thank you Mill Creek for your love and support, and thank you Dr Carlson for everything.Julie B.Julie B. ★★★★★ Dr. Whittle has been a trusted veterinarian for our family for over 30 years. He has helped our beloved pets live long happy lives. He and his staff always do whatever is needed! I wouldn’t trust anywhere else! I intend to be a client for many years to come…our newest pup is 7 months!M T.M T. ★★★★★ Great place. They really care about your pets. Drs Francis and Carlson are wonderful. My cat had been super lethargic and they got him in for an emergency appt. Gave him good care and he is hopefully on the mend.Diana K.Diana K. ★★★★★ Mill Creek Animal Clinic went above and beyond for my sick dog. I’m so grateful I found them. They were straight forward, honest and friendly. Thank you Dr. Francis for making us feel comfortable in a scary situation.Aimee B.Aimee B. ★★★★★ Clean,friendly,on time with your appointmentGary G.Gary G. ★★★★★ Excellent and time and great dog groomingSherry T.Sherry T. ★★★★★ The technicians and the front desk were always so caring and friendly to my dog.

My doggie looks beautiful.Mike A.Mike A. ★★★★★ I recently changed to Mill Creek from Midwest Animal Clinic, I could not have made a better choice at a more crucial time in my precious dog, Bentleys life. I lost him unexpectedly and too soon but they could not have made me feel more comfortable during my time of sadness and mourning. I was allowed remain with him in the clinic until the end and stay until I was ready to leave. I can not recommend this clinic highly enough. All pet lovers should take their beloved pets to this Clinic.sharon S.sharon S. ★★★★★ Dr. Whittle and the staff at Mill Creek are the best!

I am a relatively new pet owner and getting my girls to their healthiest was my main priority.

I would definitely recommend Mill Creek!Michelle O.Michelle O. ★★★★★ I am new to this area and had a hard time finding a vet to take my sick Havanese.

Dr. Carlson was so understanding and made my dog feel at ease. I have never seen her so calm at a vet before.

Gabriella H.

Best vet ever. Switching to Mill Creek was the best thing we ever did for our pet! Our dogs always hated going to the vet and dog groomer. Now our golden walks in like she lives there. She smells treats when she walks in and the vets and groomer treat her like she’s family. Love it!!
