Dr Miller Has been our life long family veterinarian. he and his staff have always showed kindness…read moreand compassion when interacting with them. my most memorable event this back to you late 1960s on my pet Siamese cat "Sam" Who was an outdoor cat He had been missing for several days when our neighbor discovered that he was in their garage He apparently had sustained injuries suspected to be a ruptured diaphragm from being struck by a car We sought Vet care And were advised by Dr. Miller That he had a ruptured diaphragm And that he would have to be put down. A traumatic and emotional event. We said our goodbyes and left him in the care of Dr. Miller. 4-6 weeks later We received a call from Dr. Miller's office staff who informed us that he did not like giving up on injured animals and that he had ordered a special airway that could be used in surgery to provide respiratory support during cases. So he proceeded to repair the ruptured diaphragm. and during the surgical procedure one of his staff members provided respiratory support during so that Sam would have oxygen. We had quite an emotional reunion. I remember that my mother offered to pay Dr. Miller for his care of our cat which was declined.

They have a new veterinarian on staff, and every time we've seen her she seems like she's pretty miserable, but she does her job, so I guess that's all that really matters. Other than that, the staff are usually always friendly and helpful. I think a lot of them like animals a lot more than they do people, but we are the same way, so it's not a big deal. The services they provide are high quality, and the discounted prices are a total lifesaver. We'll continue to trust them with our animals' care.

We brought our much-loved 3-1/2 year-old mixed breed, Alice, to Striegel Animal Hospital for…read moreextraction of a broken tooth. A pre-op exam was done by Dr. Cressey, who found her fit and healthy. Surgery was performed 5 days later on a Tuesday. Alice initially appeared to recover normally, but by the following Sunday she refused food and became lethargic. As Striegel was closed, we took Alice to Lakeside Veterinary Hospital in Carbondale IL., where they determined that she was dehydrated and that her stitches had opened. Bloodwork indicated a low white blood cell count. The wound was cleaned, she was given fluids and anti-nausea meds. She was prescribed an antibiotic to be given only if she ate. We were advised to return to Striegel for follow-up. She would not eat and so we returned to Striegel the next day, Monday. Dr. Cressey examined her at length and said the extraction site was fine despite the missing stitches. Although blood test results were borderline, Dr. Cressey diagnosed pancreatitis based on abdominal sensitivity. We were told that simple anxiety could sometimes trigger such symptoms in a dog. Alice was again given fluids along with pain meds and an appetite stimulant. We we're instructed to feed her as best we could but not to administer the antibiotic unless she ate. We were not provided with an emergency telephone number or any recourse to after-hours immediate care. In the middle of the night, Alice's breathing became labored and she began to cry. We did our best to apply pain medication. At two-thirty on that Tuesday morning, as we drove toward the only 24-hour clinic we could find, two hours away near St. Louis, Alice died in my wife's arms. Three weeks later, I can still hear my wife crying as I write this. A necropsy was performed at the U of I Veterinary school but results were inconclusive. Striegel called to inform us that the invoice for that necropsy was ready a week before the report was returned. Like other doctors, veterinarians swear an oath upon graduation: primum non nocere, first do no harm. Striegel did irrevocable harm to our Alice, deep and lasting harm to me and my wife. They did not provide the thorough, responsible care and follow-up we were promised and dutifully paid for. Alice was our best friend and constant companion. If you care for your pet as much as we did for her, you would be well advised to look elsewhere for a good veterinarian.

After calling around to try to get my sweet dog seen by a vet ASAP it was still going to take weeks with someone else. I called back to St. Francis to schedule an appointment for my sweet girl and was rudely told since she had not been seen in a certain amount of time that she would be considered a new patient and that I needed to find a new veterinarian!

When, while quite upset, we went to get his body, the front staff, a woman named Chesney rolled her eyes and laughed at us as we cried and waited for his body. Dr. Creese shoved his body at us and said 'you can leave now'. The president of the board, who is in a personal relationship with the vet that killed our cat, lied and claimed her staff was 'too busy' to show compassion while we waited for his body. She defended the fact that the vet overdosed my cat and murdered him. The entire staff and organization are heartless, corrupt and horrible people. Do not take your beloved pets here or they will be murdered and the staff will abuse you after they murder your pets.

My wife and I have been using Central Hospital For Animals in Herrin for many many years, and I…read morehave nothing but great things to say about the staff there. The two people that come to mind immediately are the Vet Tec, Brooke, and Dr. Collin Rhine. Their compassion over the years was spectacular and when we had to put our dog, Rocky, down, they were so supportive. Brooke took a liking to Rocky very early on and would always light up when we brought him in. She cried with my wife when we had to put him down, and to me that's a reflection of who she is, kind and compassionate. Dr. Collin always gave us hope when we needed hope but honesty when it was time to say goodbye. We had no doubt he did everything he could to help our little guy out, by far the best veterinarian our Rocky had the privilege of seeing in his nearly 18 years of life. If you're looking for place to take your animals where they truly care about them, go to Central Hospital For Animals - Herrin.

One of my cats has been straining to pass urine in his litter box, but sometimes doesn't make it to…read morethe box and has accidents on the floor. Pretty much throughout the house. The appointment was made fairly quickly for the next day (today on a Saturday) because I was told it might be an emergency. After Dr. McNit asked us a series of questions, one being how many cats do we have, she gave a condescending smirk at the fact we have 22 rescues (all spayed or neutered and indoor only), and basically accused the cats of not getting along and maybe that's why he has suddenly started having accidents. What? She has no idea how well behaved they all are, so YES they ALL get along amazingly well because she doesn't know that I train them. Long story short, she gave me information about ferimones I can get through Amazon, and said that she wouldn't be able to do an ultrasound on him to check for urine crystals or stones until next Friday when the tech is there who does that. Now, my thinking is if a pet parent calls about a possible emergency, shouldn't the doctor be prepared? At least recommend another vet? Instead, we had to reschedule for next Friday when the proper tests can be done, and we were charged $80 today for nothing but a consultation. I will be canceling that appointment and getting my fur buddy to a better vet. So disappointed with CHFA. They used to be better than that.
