★★★★★ 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. My dog loves everyone there from the front desk all the way through to the Vets. They give her lots of attention which she's loves along with the treats they give her. The Doctors take their time to explain things and to listen to your concerns. Great place to take your pets! I highly recommend them!Patricia N.Patricia N. ★★★★★ We have taken our dogs here for many years, we appreciate the vets who are very thorough, take the time to explain their observations, and responsive. The waiting area and rooms are very clean, and the support staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.Karen K.Karen K. ★★★★★ The Doctors and Staff at Mill Creek are amazing!!!!!! 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 ★★★★★ Dr. Whittle was very empathetic and reassuring when I called to discuss a spay and gastropexy for my reactive German Shepherd. She does not do well at the vet, and even more, this would have been a new vet for us, as our current vet referred us elsewhere to have the gastropexy done. The prices for surgery were reasonable. Dr. Whittle eased our minds by putting our pup on meds to keep her calm and allowing us to stay with her until she was sedated. He kept us updated throughout the process and answered all of our questions thoroughly. He was caring, kind, and sympathetic. It's so hard to find good medical providers these days, but I am so happy to have found Mill Creek. The staff was wonderful and friendly too. We couldn't be happier with how our fur baby was treated. Don't hesitate to see them for your pets.Rebecca W.Rebecca W. ★★★★★ 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 have several different vets, and all of them are AMAZING. I did a review on the old vet's office that got a 1 star (we need a zero option Google). It's a little bit of a ride from my house but worth it 100%. We had to put my daushund down a year ago, and their staff was absolutely awesome. They were compassionate and truly cared as my daughters and I were a MESS. They could not have been more sympathetic. When it was time for our new family member, I called to schedule an appointment before i even told my parents. If you own a pet, this should be your vet's office, period.chad B.chad B. ★★★★★ Love them! Their care & compassion is supreme!!Lisa S.Lisa S. ★★★★★ The entire Mill Creek team is great!Linka G.Linka G. ★★★★★ Dr. Whittle is compassionate and committed to the fur babies he treats. He is a superb diagnostician. I highly recommend this practice.Kay L.Kay L. ★★★★★ The staff and doctor Conrad are amazing.Always so friendly,helpful and so fast to answer questionsThey care about your pets as if they were their own.Ann W.Ann W. ★★★★★ I love this clinic! 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. ★★★★★ 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. ★★★★★ AMAZING! Wonderful front desk and doctor. I had a non-emergency and they squeezed me in. I ran in like a hot mess. The ladies at the desk didn’t judge. They organized and scanned all of my dogs info. Even my second dog who wasn’t there! Ugh I loved that because I am OCD. Extremely pleasant visit. I will be leaving my previous veterinarian for Mill Creek. They were reasonable too. I know I could have easily paid an additional $50-90. Thank you Mill Creek.Tina D.Tina D. ★★★★★ 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.

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!

Definitely will be coming back and so happy I switched vets!Taylor G.Taylor G. ★★★★★ Having adopted my kitties from a shelter there were some health concerns that were evident right off the bat. I am a relatively new pet owner and getting my girls to their healthiest was my main priority. I tried another vet initially and although the experience was not terrible; the service, level of care, and communication is unmatched at Mill Creek.I have the peace of mind knowing my kitties are being treated well and although I know they don't enjoy it much, I am happy knowing that they are in good health and the doctors and staff treating them share the same sentiment. 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. A few days later Dr. Carlson called with my dogs test results then a secondary call to ensure I didn’t have questions.This facility and staff far exceeded my expectations.

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!!
