Nice vet, but long wait times, and very expensive bills.

Tuve la oportunidad de conocer el lugar ya que mi mascota sufrió un accidente. Gracias al equipo de profesionales, pudierón salvar la vida de mi perro y el acompañamiento en su recuperación fue realmente alentadora. Muchas gracias!

Took my cat Lilly there, and both times the staff was friendly. They explained what was wrong and told me what to do in detail. That's the only hospital I go for my pets.

My dog has been using this animal hospital for vet car and boarding for over 2 years. They called today, December 21, to cancel my nearly 2 week boarding reservation for December 26, that I had confirmed a month ago. Their lack of reliability means I may have to cancel my vacation now.

I went for my first visit to McKillip as I needed a same day appointment for my cat. I didn't realize it was walk in only until I read other reviews, but I was able to go in as soon as I called that morning. I wasn't allowed to go in with my cat due to COVID, which was a bummer as I'm a helicopter mom, but the staff and Dr Bennett are really nice. Dr Bennett gave me a call after and explained everything I needed to know. I hope my cat gets better and I'll bring her back here again for her wellness exam!

Pretty much the only vet in the city I could get into and they have amazing "walk in" hours. No pet parents allowed inside for now which is understandable until covid is gone for good. I was on a budget and the Doc walked me through the most important vaccines I should get done and what could wait a bit, very honest and appreciated. Also gave me a medication to calm one of my poor girls for her next trip she was not happy with her first car ride! A bit out of the way for me to travel but worth it 100%

I'd never been to McKillip prior to this visit--I decided to try them out because my usual vet had a three week wait for an appointment. Never again. Every other vet that has cared for my cats took the time to explain the tests/procedures they thought would be appropriate, provided an estimate for those procedures, and requested approval. Not so with McKillip. I dropped my cat off and didn't receive a call until they had already performed a slew of unnecessary tests without my approval. It's clear that they were trying to run the bill as high as they reasonably could. Their prices are also well above market rate for Chicago. When I questioned their pricing and that many of the tests were unnecessary, they were hostile and threatened to hold my cat hostage until I paid for all of the testing. Stay away.

Horribly rude staff. The bug eyed dark haired woman with attitude who answers the phones is a real female dog. This place has a horrible system for intake and there's no communication amongst staff. They're very disrespectful! Stay away from this place do not be fooled!!

I have to say that I simply don't recognize the vet hospital that I've relied on for 40+ years [yes, 40+ years!] in postings that decry lack of empathy or professionalism in McKillip's response to theirs and their pets' needs. McKillip has cared for nearly a dozen of our beloved cats and dogs over four decades and never has anyone at this clinic expressed anything other than concern for their (and our--pet parents') well being and thriving. They've stood by us through multiple visits and re-visits to MedVet and Integrative Pet Care--not for every pet, but for those most in need. Dr. Glater, as others have said, is our go-to PCV [primary care vet]. but the team of vets and helpers at McKillips has been, for many years now, the caregivers to whom we turn when our care isn't sufficient to ease our buddies' pain or discomfort. Most recently, Dr. Glater spent time with us to help my husband understand that letting go of Grady, our 14-year-old tabby, was the right thing to do for him, the right way to love him. There may be cheaper vet hospitals in Chicago, there may be vet hospitals who'll provide more sentimental support, but I cannot imagine a vet hospital more compassionate and more competent with whom to entrust the lives (and deaths) of your best friends in the world!

I moved back to Chicago after 35 years with two geriatric cats, during the covid outbreak. Both of them had medical concerns and after calling every vet in the area I decided that I would bring my cats, Rose and Mable,Mable to McKillip instead of driving them to the suburbs. As a walk-in facility, I was concerned about the level of care, but everyone was professional, supportive, and compassionate. I would highly recommend them.

My dogs love going to McMillin. The doctors and nurses treat them like baby's and they love the treatment. I've taken my pets (dogs and cats) here for many years. They have helped us keep them healthy and happy well into their teens.

McKillip has been our go-to vet animal hospital for over twenty years. And Dr. Glater, at McKillip, is our absolute favorite vet of all time! He has always been so kind, knowledgeable, and patiently answers all of my questions. He helped my beloved cat live until age 19; he came over to our place when it was time to say goodbye to my husband's cat to help her pass away peacefully in our home; and now he is helping our pandemic foster dog (who we adopted) beat heartworms with his expert treatment. Yes, McKillip is not cheap, but you really do get what you pay for for- esp. when you want to take care of your beloved furry friends. We are so thankful to Dr. Glater for all of his advice, guidance, and expert care over the years. And he always calls me the next day to see how the "patient" is doing! Highest recommendation, ESPECIALLY for Dr. Glater.

Our family started going to McKillip recently after we adopted our dog during the pandemic. We used to go to our vet closer to us, however it was almost impossible to get an appointment during these times. The staff here was so efficient and the process of the walk-in appointments they offer has gone very smoothly each time. Our doctor at McKillip is Dr. Brizgys and he is so friendly and helpful! We chose them specifically because of the walk-in appointments amidst the lockdown, however we'll continue going here even after things are back to normal!
