Great caring doctors & staff! Quick to get appointments & test results. Clean facility. Don't take your pets anywhere else!

Golf-Mil is not my regular vet, but twice they have helped me in a crisis with my dog, Boleyn. They are wonderful and caring, and I could not be more grateful to them for their help. If you live in Niles, you can definitely trust Golf-Mil and Dr. Baley with your fur-kids. read more

I have been bringing my dogs to Golf Mill veterinary Hospital for several years now. They are very competent and very helpful if I have some thing wrong with my dogs. They try to work with you within your financial means, but it doesn't always work out. But they do recommend other animal hospitals if it's too expensive for you. read more

A great team of professional people from veterinarians, Technicians and support team. Every single person is kind, loving and supportive to both my husband and I and of course our fur babies Roxie & Ditka. I have had other doggies go to this veterinary clinic since 1978 when Dr. Zand was the original owner. I have been so happy with all the care all my dogs have received- I highly recommend this veterinarian clinic. Thank you Dr. Baley, Dr. Hague and Dr. Met. read more

Update - We just took Maya and Buddy in for their yearly senior wellness exams. Golf-Mil Vet has a great system in place to minimize exposure during this time. We called when we arrived and a vet tech spoke to us about our dogs and any concerns we had. Dr. Mey then called after her initial exam to go over her findings and treatment plan. Once again, Dr. Mey was very kind and patient with all my questions! She also let us know that Buddy and Maya were doing great in the exam room and that they seemed comfortable. I appreciate the attention to details since we aren't able to be in the room with them at this time. I also appreciate that the vet kept detailed records and followed up on some concerns from our appointment last year. I just can't recommend this office enough. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! I love knowing Maya and Buddy are in good hands here. We recently moved to the area and needed to find a vet for our dogs. I'm glad I listened to all the 5 star reviews for Golf-Mil on Yelp. I called to make an appointment and Olivia was very helpful on the phone. She helped get all our old vet records transferred over which I really appreciate. We went in for our appointment today and Nicole at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. We saw Dr. Mey and she patiently answered all of our questions. Our dogs can get very nervous at the vet, but Dr. Mey took her time to make them feel comfortable. I'm so glad we have a place we can trust with our pets here read more

I can not truly comment on how they are with the animals as I was never contacted back in regards to an appointment. My feeling is that if you office can't even do a simple thing like reply to an appointment request I doubt I can trust you with my animal. I requested an appointment on June 9th via their website and am still waiting! read more

Golf-Mil Veterinary Hospital - Appointment request. - Veterinarians Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Moved to IL from CA and needed to take our pup to a vet. Golf Mill came highly recommended, and they lived up to it. They were fast, efficient and friendly. Dr. Mey was phenomenal, talked to us for a while and really provided a solid diagnosis with clear guidance. She was so accommodating and made sure our pup was well looked after. Great clinic and service. Thank you! read more

The receptionists that I spoke to before our appointment were genuinely friendly to deal with on the phone. The vet assistant was very thorough, courteous, friendly at our visit. Dr. Bailey was on time, friendly. She was like talking to a nice neighbor. Good bedside manner. Our jackapoo dog, Cannoli, is not really the friendliest dog. Dr. Bailey had the most wonderful affect on our dog. Very good rapport with Cannoli for meeting her for t he first time. It was a great visit. Cannoli did not try to snap at her. My husband and I were impressed and amazed. I had a lot of questions regarding some things with our dogs. By mid visit, our other dog, Speckles, just laid down and relaxed. Very nice atmosphere. I accredit that to the people that work there. Dr. Bailey does not advise medical treatment to inflate your bill. She was honest and forthright without being condescending. The facility was very clean. Parking was available. This will remain our, "forever home," for vet care. read more

We have been taking our dogs to golf Mill veterinary hospital for over 20 years. We have always found our interactions with the doctors and the staff to be pleasant and professional. Everybody is so good with the pets; our dogs don't seem to mind going. They do a great job with following up the next day to make sure everything is OK as well as calling with results. Wish our human doctors were this good... read more

two reviews negative and with valid purpose! the one i detest most of all was the review that the cat had oral surgery and the tech prima donna would not call vet to speak with the petparent to asssure how cat would feel not to worry and to call and he would explain all of which did not happen! another behavior of techs is how another petparent just wanted nails clipped but told must have a full exam whic is b.s for a new patient and is all about money which is what anna tried to avoid! sure there is good and bad in everything even with human doctors! problem is it takes a non-compassionate 'employee' to make petparents run the other way and right they are! i've had more than my share just walking in the door to be acknowledged! i don't expect to pay for an attitude rudeness or insensitive entitled divas! a'int gonna happen at my house! read more

I'm a new puppy owner! I was very nervous to find the right Vet to help me ease my mind! I'm so happy I found Golf- Mil Vet Hospital! They vets are GREAT! The front desk staff is so helpful as well! They made a life long client in me & my puppy Angel! read more

Golf-Mil Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Niles, Illinois

I've had many years of experience with them; we brought all our cats here while I was growing up. Even after I moved away, I continued to come here because they know and love my cat(s). The office staff is very professional and friendly. Currents vets are Dr. Susan Wilner, Dr. Bryan Haag and Dr. Kathy Ilyukhina (aka "Dr. Kathy"). Wonderful, caring and compassionate. They take their time examining and are sure to explain test results and any instructions to us. I had a cat who had irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and required frequent blood tests, check-ups and daily doses of medicine. Doctors took great care of him. Toward the end, he lost a lot of weight and began pooping randomly around the house. The vets suggested different things, but nothing worked to stop the pooping. When our daughter started crawling, we feared she would find and eat a cat dropping. Ultimately we took him in to be euthanized (no shelter would take him). It was hard, and Dr. Haag - while sympathetic - did argue on behalf of Squeaky. Although at the time it made it more difficult, I respect that Dr. Haag advocated for our cat. This animal hospital also gets an A for efficiency. We have one cat now, and when we didn't bring him in for his regular check-up (we got off track with a baby in the house), they not only sent postcards but called us to try to schedule an appointment. When I told her that we were a bit strapped for money, she went over what was necessary and what wasn't (an indoor cat doesn't really need rabies shots). They were very nice about all of it. They go the extra mile for your pets -- highly recommended! read more

Dr. Haag and Dr. Mey are both compassionate, warm doctors who listen to our needs, consistently provide options for care and have always followed up to ensure that all is well with my sweet boys. It's no stretch to say the whole staff is warm and caring! In the many years I've been a client here, I can tell you my pets are never fearful as we walk through the doors and I promise you I have always left through those same doors knowing that we received high-quality care (and at reasonable prices.) Now, I wish I could find this level of care, flexibility and communication at a people hospital :) read more

After taking in the family dog from my parents, he was in dire need of a major check up. I scheduled a first appointment and when we showed up, we were greeted by a friendly front desk. They even asked to get a mug shot of my guy for their records (it also goes on every transaction statement). We met with Dr. Haag who was super friendly, knowledgeable and truly compassionate about animals. Because it had been a while since my dog's last vet check up, he had a long list of tests and procedures he had to go through, including complicated dental work. From then, we've also met with Dr. Mey who is also wonderful. I love that every time we go there, the staff recognizes and remembers our dog. At every appointment, they never make us feel rushed and always take the time to make sure that any of my questions are answered. As much as I really loved the staff here at Golf-Mil Vet, I can no longer afford to bring my senior pup there. Because of all of his health issues, he needs almost monthly vet visits. I found it to be most cost effective to sign on with a wellness plan at Banfield. If price weren't an issue, there would be no question that I would choose to stick with GM Vet. read more

Finally a great vet (somewhat) near me! Thank you Yelpers!! This place is exactly as the other users have said, and best of all, you just feel good here. The staff is very personable & caring, hours are flexible, and they do a very nice job of understanding what makes sense for you & your pet (as opposed to just ordering up hundreds of dollars in test b/c that's what the manual says). Best of all, most (all?) of the doctors went to Michigan State for Vet School. Go Green! Go White! read more

We've been taking our cats to Golf Mil Vet for 5 years, and I would never go anywhere else. We've seen every doctor there and they've all been friendly, informative and awesome with our cats. The front desk and technicians have been pleasant and friendly as well. Everyone here is honest and always puts the needs of the animal as a top priority and I never feel like I'm charged for something unnecessary. We had a health scare with one of our cats that resulted in his stay at a 24-hour hospital for 2 1/2 days. Dr. Haag was on this case every step of the way and was wonderful. Even though in a more critical care case the specialty doctor becomes primary in communication, Dr. Haag still contacted us every day our cat was hospitalized at the other facility, just to make sure we were up-to-date on everything. He called me on a weekend, from his personal number, to talk with me and make sure I knew that our boy was going to be okay. I would never expect a doctor to do that, but he went out of his way on a day off. He's compassionate, concerned and understanding and wonderful with the pet owners as well. That's a doctor you want caring for a patient who can't tell you what's wrong. read more

We had a near-death experience with our dog and I have supported Golf Mill Vet hospital for over 20 years. The veterinarian who took care of my dog was less than experienced and underestimated my knowledge of medicine. She proceeded to tell me that my dog decided not to" take a breath" and his tongue turned blue. I am in the medical field, this occurs when someone puts a forceful strong hold on a dog or person. She placed the blame on my dog, then had the audacity to charge us for the visit. Dr. Hague is no longer there full time nor Dr. May, since this change, this place has deteriorated and I would be concerned for your pets well being and safety. They are very unpleasant and unprofessional, the receptionist was rude along with the Vet who cared for my dog, I challenge her integrity and experience along with knowledge. I am not one to write a review but this is unacceptable behavior on all levels read more

I have two dogs and I've recently moved. So I started researching different veterinary hospitals closer to my new home and when I came across the Golf-Mil Veterinary Hospital I was excited because it had so many positive reviews so it made me feel that they weren't going to take advantage of the customer financially, they appeared to truly be caring of the animals brought to them and only charge what is necessary to that animal per appointment. Weeell I called to make my first appointment which was only for nail trimming to one of my dogs. He had all his updated shots and I had the paperwork to prove it that was going to be faxed from the previous veterinarian I was taking him to. The receptionist I was speaking to on the phone was telling me I was forced to have a physical (which would be an additional charge) with his nail trimming appointment. I responded to her saying that makes no sense because I know my dog is in good health especially because I took him to the vet not too long ago to keep his shots up to date and I have the records to prove that and would be transferred directly to them from the other Vet. The receptionist proceeded to tell me that regardless of the proven records, when a new dog comes in they always charge for a physical even for something as simple as a nail trimming. That's when I realized Golf Mill Veterinary Hospital takes advantage of their clients and steals their money unnecessarily. I have never been forced to pay for something extra when transferring to another Vet that was not necessary, especially when I had the proven records of my dog being up-to-date with all his shots and is standing in good health. I have moved to a couple different cities and this is why I have been in positions to transfer my pets records to a closer veterinarian. For a simple monthly nail trimming, they have never charged me anything additional than the nail trimming itself. Golf-Mill Veterinary Hospital was a first! I will definitely not bring my pets there because I realize it's not about their health, it's more about the money and how much they could take advantage of their clients. read more

I have to say that this place has truly impressed us. The staff is so caring, kind and extremely helpful. We have seen Dr. Beth twice now and each time she has been very thorough with the examination of our dog, but just as important she really takes the time to explain what is going on with him and makes sure that we completely understand the situation. I know that this is a great place to take our dog and we can rest assure that he is getting the best care. Superb doctor and staff make up this Vet. Hospital! read more

Pet owners know how important it is to trust the care their pet is given. They're a member of the family. As a customer for over 16 years, you will not find a more pleasant place as Golf Mil Animal Hospital. The staff and Dr's are awesome. We always receive the same friendliness, support and treatment. A pleasure to return each and every time. The hours of operation are terrific including the facility which is always well maintained. Referral cases to take our dogs to nearby Vet Specialists specializing in Eye, Joint, and after hours emergency care etc. were seamless. Appointment reminder phone calls including postcard mailers, including upcoming wellness exams, vaccinations, and dental check-ups are terrific and great reminders for us (the pets parents). Follow-up appointments are the next day or two with details as well an update to recovery status and blood tests, etc. "Four Paws Up" from our dog named Dory and "Two Thumbs Up" from her parents. =) read more

Wow! Doctor Sara Mey is just amazing! My dog hates going to the vet and she's scared of them but when she saw Dr. Mey she started wagging her tail even when she was being examined. We have taken our dog to 2 other vets and none of them could diagnose her... All they did was give her antibiotics and that's it. Since taking her to Golf-Mil clinic she has been feeling better. I am very happy with the quality of service we received. This is definitely the best place in the Park Ridge area. read more

We have been taking our dog and cat here for over 10 years. All the doctors and staff have been so skillful, caring and kind. We are very happy and thankful for Golf-Mil Vet. read more

I can't say enough about the staff, care, professionalism, friendliness and quality of care at Golf Mill Veterinary Hospital. Our dog Lucky was a recent patient there. In the past Lucky has seen Dr. Bailey and most recently by Dr. Mae. They are amazing. Lucky went through a recent surgery. Needless to say I was a bit worried and somewhat neurotic. The staff calmed me down ( they must be angels to put up with my worry) and did a great job of settling my fears. Lucky was totally together. I was the basket case. Dr. Mae explained everything thoroughly and I had the utmost trust in her. I recommend this animal hospital and the vets there as well. I feel so relieved that Lucky has the best vets. They treat animals and calm the owners. What more can a person ask? Kudos to them, they ROCK. read more

Jus met Dr. Baley for the first time...she's great! We have a special needs dog and she took great care of him. She has a great calm personality and wonderful bedside manner. We are super happy with the entire staff :) read more

Dr Bailey is the best and the staff has been so sweet to my puppy! Absolutely recommend this place!

This is the very best animal hospital anywhere! Dr. Haag and Dr. Mey are kind , caring and totally dedicated to providing the very best care possible for their patients. The have always answered any question I may have thoroughly and in language I can understand. My pets have always loved them. The staff is warm and welcoming. They help to ease the "scary hospital" experience for me and for my little companion. I have been bringing my pets to this hospital for over 10 years and have always been extremely happy with the attention my pets and I receive. I highly recommend the Golf-Mil Animal Hospital read more

I love them! My husband and I both work the same hours and when we needed to have our cat monitored, Dr Haag actually came in early so we could drop him off! When we picked him up, every one on the staff told us how much they loved our furry little monster. It's just really warm and I'm glad we've got a vet that's close to home and makes us feel really comfortable taking our pets there. read more

We started taking our puppy here based on reviews we read and we will never take him anywhere else!! Dr. Bailey is amazing, as is the rest of the staff. Diesel loves going to the vet because of how well he is treated! They truly care. Services are reasonably priced, which is an added bonus! read more

Well, this was our third visit to this place and I can say that my fillings are mixed about everything! My cat, Dj started to refuse food, I thought that he wants to change brand but after 10's of different kind I finally realize that he has some health issue, so I went to Golf-Mil vet's. After checkup dr. Bailey told me that he has a dental issue and that he will need surgery! She gives him antibiotic and scheduled date- for 5 days later. I was properly informed about everything- what will happen and about estimated price and I agreed for all. Now, after procedure one of staff members brought him out and did give me instructions how to feed him and some pain medication so we left. From that point on I was not able to talk with Dr. Bailey, even after I called about some minor health issue I was not able to talk with her. Nobody called day after procedure to check on Dj and even today at checkup Dr. Bailey did not show up- nurse took him in without me and after 1-2 minutes brought him back saying that everything is OK....I expected that doctor will show up at least at checkup which was scheduled ahead of time...that is the reason for 3 stars, staff was very friendly, no complaints there but.... expected more read more

Had to see the vet today and met with Dr. Haag. He was fabulous! Spent so much time talking to me about my dog and clearly knew what he was doing. I am thrilled that he worked out and definitely will be seeing him again. I felt way more comfortable this time around and really happy I won't be searching for a new vet. read more

I was looking for another veterinary hospital for my 1-year old dog and to bring my new puppy for her first puppy shots. I found out about Golf-Mil Vet Hospital through Yelp, saw positive reviews across the board and decided to bring her here. I am impressed with the attentive and gentle care that the staff give to their patients. Their laboratory tests, services, and vaccination fees are very reasonable. Theirs is a small hospital facility but I don't mind -- and neither do my dogs. They are AAHA accredited and the treatment and quality of care that we receive on our visits attest to that. read more

I've been bringing my dog here for over 12 years now and I am very happy with the care she receives. From routine check-ups to more serious issues, I always felt that my girl was in great hands. Everyone here from the doctors to the techs genuinely loves animals and it shows. I am very glad to have found Golf-Mil Veterinary Hospital! read more

My dog Max loves Dr. Haag and the entire staff - he actually comes in the front door with me and weighs himself on the scale - he is a skittish dog so I feel good knowing that although Max may not be loving the actual examination, etc. - he is trusting of the doctors and staff - and that is extremely important!!! Karen S. read more

I have been taking my baby Hokulani here since she was 9 weeks old after I had a bad experience at another vet. Golf-Mil is the best around! Their entire staff are just so AWESOME! Hokulani gets the best care here. I cannot thank the Doctors & Staff enough for everything they have done for us over the years! read more

I took my chihuahua mix terrier there about a month ago to get some teeth removed due to decay and they did a great job! They explained everything in detail even called my mother who doesn't speak English and explained to her in Spanish. Super friendly staff and I will be taking my other puppy there for his shots and future treatments. read more

Professional, Friendly,Compassionate. We picked up our Dog (from a rescue) at this Vet and if they were closer to our home, I would definitely go there. Excellent. It was so obvious that Dr Haag truly loves animals. Nice read more

The guys at Golf Mil do an outstanding job! We have been taking our golden retriever there since she was 4 months old and feel very confident that she is receiving the best care possible. We usually get a call form the doctor or their staff a day or two after an appointment asking how our princess is doing, if she is feeling better, etc. read more

Terrific place to take your pet for compassionate,professional and all around excellent care! Doctors and staff are caring,considerate and knowledgable. I would never take my beloved pet anywhere else for care. read more

I just want to thank you for being very genuine people. My dog was 15 years old so obviously we weren't completely oblivious to the fact his time was coming. However, he passed from a rupture in his stomach, so although that whole day is one I would like to entirely forget, I do remember the professional and compassionate treatment you gave me. You referred us to Buffalo Grove - Veterinary Specialty Center when you knew he needed emergency surgery...we received the best care there even though it was his time. Thank you for being the people you are and for the kind card I received in the mail. read more

My family has been taking our dogs here for 12+ years now and I absolutely love this place!! I work in the pet care industry and deal with vet offices in the west burbs which just makes me more grateful Golf-Mil is my vet! read more
