My boyfriend previously lived in Batavia and took our dog here for all of his needs. Although we moved 35-40 minutes away, we still take our dog here for care.... the doctors and staff are THAT good. Employees are comforting and kind. They are always very nice and patient with our cattle dog. I love that they take their time when starting treatment to pet and play with the dogs, so that the animals feel more at ease and less stressed. To add, the environment is very clean and sanitary (I.e smells good, no fur all over the floor). Lastly, I think the candle in the front (lit when someone is saying bye to their pet) is a special touch. I would highly recommend this vet. We tried another vet closer to us, but they just did not compare to this establishment!! read more

After purchasing our new puppy from Petland Batavia, Millbrook Animal Care was one of the three veterinarians recommended to us and was the closest location. Our first wellness visit was supposed to be covered by Petland. We purchased our puppy on a Saturday, and with Monday being a holiday, we called Millbrook on Wednesday to schedule an appointment. My wife spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone answering numerous questions, many of which were later repeated in an online form that had to be completed before the appointment. Our appointment was scheduled for 1:00 PM on Saturday, and we were asked to arrive 15 minutes early. Unfortunately, we forgot to bring a stool sample and had to return home to retrieve it, causing a slight delay. We arrived at exactly 1:00 PM(the time of our appointment) but were informed that we would need to reschedule. Since we live approximately 20-25 minutes away in South Elgin , both my wife and I were extremely disappointed by the lack of flexibility, especially given that we were only a few minutes behind the requested early arrival time. Although we were able to reschedule for later that same day, the experience left a negative impression. Later, while getting gas at Costco, we stopped by River West Animal Hospital in St Charles to inquire about establishing care there in the future. The difference in experience was immediately noticeable. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and the staff was friendly, understanding, and accommodating. Despite arriving close to closing time, our puppy was seen within approximately 20 minutes. The veterinarian (Jason Long) examined our Cavapoo, answered our questions, and had an excellent bedside manner. While the visit at River West was not free, the cost was very reasonable--just bit over $100, which included an examination and stool sample testing. Based on our experience, we plan to return there for the remainder of our puppy's vaccinations and ongoing care. Overall, we were disappointed with our experience at Millbrook Animal Care and were much more impressed with the level of service and customer care we received at River West Animal Hospital. We later cancelled our appointment at Milbrook. After reading a few of the reviews, there are some reoccurring themes at this animal clinic. read more

Terrible! The vet is too lazy to exam our senior jack Russell mix. The vet tech was our only contact except to pay the $500+ bill! So long Millbrook! read more

Once Dr Bongiorno sold the clinic it really has a money first, upsell feel to it. We stayed with them, but recently was the final straw. I brought our Chocolate Lab in for his annual checkup ($368). Blood work comes back with a kidney level that is off, try an antibiotic. Another $50 bucks or so. Followup blood check after antibiotic another $98. Same day the vet calls with results that all is good, by afternoon my dog won't walk, is shivering and in obvious distress so I call Millbrook at 2:30pm saying my dog has a issue that might be sever swimmers tail, but would like him checked. Sorry - no availability. I have an emergency I say - sorry, all booked I'm told. Really?!, I spent over $500 with you the last 3 weeks and you can't find a minute to check him out. Unbelievable!!! To say I was pissed is an understatement. I make a call to River West Animal Hospital in St. Charles and they say bring him in despite not being an existing customer. Dr Long at River West was fantastic! read more

If you love your dog do not take them here. Our precious Chelsea was misdiagnosed two days in a row by Dr David. When we finally took her to VEG in Naperville the 2nd night she had to be put in an oxygen chamber to help her breathe. By the next morning she was declining further and unfortunately had to be put to sleep. If she was treated properly by these money hungry people at Millbrook she may very well still be here. We never even got a call from "Dr David" to check on her. If you are reading this I hope you know that you single handedly broke our hearts. read more

The staff is great and appointment times convenient. I brought my dog for a follow up appt with a specific Dr. i never saw the Dr. They (Vet assistant? )brought her in back for her repeat tests, brought her back to me and said done. $200+. Im waiting for results Then i think I'll be looking for a new vet read more

This vet is solely focused on money-we took our dog here from when she was a puppy and liked it until our pup got sick (not their fault) however the way they handled it was terrible. We went in telling them her symptoms and what was going on. They offered to do an ultrasound and x ray so we agreed. They however FAILED to tell us before that our dog was too small for their machine to pick anything up. We ended up having to pay $700 for no answers and went to the emergency vet the next day. The emergency vet then told us that her past blood tests (from millbrook) showed very high bile acid levels which indicate a liver shunt. We had to go to a specialist immediately as our dog was losing weight quickly and getting very nostalgic. I understand this is not millbrooks fault that our dog was sick however it is their fault for not disclosing these high numbers to us. If we would have known sooner that her numbers were high we could have helped her earlier. Instead she was just getting sick all the time and we had no idea why. Safe to say we ended up switching vets and they got us on a medical plan for our dog and she is now happier than ever. I would not bring my animal here, and if you do make sure you're looking up their bloodwork yourself because google could have done a better job giving me answers than this vet. read more

My pit mix who has never shown any signs of aggression was boarded here for 6 days. While dropping him off they put a slip leash around his neck and pulled him into the back, he growled. Waited a few lady came back said all was good. He is five years old and never has been boarded. I said multiple times if any issues please call us, we will get him picked up. Sent brother in law to pick him up on a Sunday three employees would not handle him, had my brother in law go back to get him, no issues. I called and asked how he was taken care of they really could not give me answers. When I asked if he ever went outside if he was showing stress they could not give me that answer either! Never ever again! Beware of leaving your fur children here. I could have left him abandoned on my own, thought I was doing the right thing with a vets office! read more

I have had two negative visits in a row this year in 2024. Earlier this year, I brought my dog in for a mole removal and dental assessment for a possible cleaning. One veterinarian said yes to the cleaning and mole removal under anesthesia and ordered the preliminary bloodwork. They confirmed the procedure the day before, then the day of the procedure, I was made aware after I dropped off my dog by a different veterinarian that all the blood work didn't come in and they couldn't do the procedure. This second vet also said my dog's teeth looked okay and didn't recommend the cleaning. So I picked my dog up after he had already been held in the back waiting to prep to start. Secondly, this week I brought my dog in for anal glands and nail clipping. After, I picked up my dog, left the facility, then noticed one dew claw was not clipped, but definitely needed it since it catches on everything. I drove my dog back and asked them to do the last dew claw. One girl came out to say they couldn't clip his nails any shorter and that the dog had taken off his own muzzle and tried to bite them. (My dog is a 15-1b chihuahua/beagle). I then pointed out again it was the one remaining dew claw that I was asking about only, not for shorter nails. I then asked can they sedate him? And they had no answer for me. I asked again, can you please do the dew claw since it was missed. They did it then brought my dog out and said "he wasn't very happy about that" in a very snotty way to me. The tech missed the dew claw initially, and I was not respected. I would not come here again or recommend this practice to anyone. read more

We have been going to Millbrook for 2 years after we moved and they are fabulous. Very attentive, thorough, and lots of appointments. The staff is so friendly and you can tell they all love the animals they care for. Dr. David is amazing. We would recommend him to anyone, especially those with cats! read more

Everything about Millbrook is amazing. Wonderful front staff. Kind and caring doctors. Been going there for years for all five of my pets. Worth the hour drive there and back. read more

Things were great there until they were not! We brought our dog there for 5 years for routine visits which was fine but when he got very sick they were unable to see just how sick he was. We rushed him to a emergency hospital after leaving Millbrook and they diagnosed him within 10 minutes! Sadly we wasted a few previous days with Millbrook and ended up loosing our precious pup! read more

First and only vet whose policy is not to renew my dogs heart worm medication unless I had them do an $81.00 test. I had him tested. a year ago because of this, and of course since he's had a monthly dose of this medication every month of his life he was of course negative. in trying to renew his prescription I was forced to take this same test again for another $81.00 for no reason except excess profit gouging! Every other vet I've dealt with would say they recommend it but if you were sure your pet had their dose every month, I problem. Welcome to Geneva read more

Compassionate and caring vet clinic. The hours are excellent. The staff are professional and knowledgeable. I have never waited more than 5 minutes and have never felt rushed during our visits. Dr. David is the best, but when he is not available, I have appreciated all of the other vets I have seen. read more

We have brought both our dogs and cat to Millbrook. They treat your pets with care and respect, and the owners too. Even a recent emergency was handled well, as our dog cut his ear bad enough to create considerable bleeding. The doctor stitched him up with minimum sedation, and the support staff helped calm down our sometimes reactive pet through both the examination and recovery. Our pup wound up wearing a wrap to keep his injured ear from getting worse, and it's all worked out. The price for these services was quite fair. I recommend this clinic quite highly. read more

i use to love young there but what has happened in the last three weeks is frustrating. my 9 year old stayeyed walking weird in his behind legs went to go see Dr Jill examend him did a blood test and gave him some meds. 2 days after she looked at his legs my husband finds a big lump so I go back she says she noticed it (I don't think she did) took blood and sent it in. that was on the july 2. I have called several times and she hasn't called me back yet. I asked the receptionist and she said it was stage 2 cancer. i'm freaking out and still waiting. read more

My dog and I had a horrible experience with this vet clinic yesterday. I went in seeking help for his swollen ear. This vet was very rude to me and chose to lecture me on how to better care for my 11 year old lab instead of treating his actual issue. I work in healthcare and would never treat someone like this. No sense of caring or compassion. I will not be returning and would not recommend this clinic to anyone!!!! read more

This clinic I have been going to for 25 years and I am no longer going to go to this clinic. Their staff has no empathy, rude and I showed up 20 minutes late for an appointment and they couldn't fit me in I had to reschedule. Didn't even ask to see if maybe they could fit me in just told me I needed to reschedule and they were kind of proud of it. They also try to upsell you on every shot known to man, and they tried it with a brand new puppy I have and we all know that antibiotics at that level with a puppy is very bad for the digestive system. I just feel like the heart of this place is gone. read more

We've only been with Millbrook for a few months now with our new puppy, but they've been excellent to work with.

Noticed a problem, called Millbrook, and was given an appointment for the same day. The problem was diagnosed, treated, and explained clearly to me so that I could continue treatment at home. My pup loves to go to the vet. I think this is largely because he receives such wonderful care. read more

Your furry baby's comfort is always there number 1 priority. Our Josie loves going there (even for shots) because everyone there cares and it shows. The ladies at the front welcome you with a smile (don't see that much anymore), and are extremely kind and proficient. All the techs will treat your furry baby like they are the only one that matters. Josie is particularly fond of Eli. What a fine young man with such a caring heart. All the doctors are Fantastic and you will know your baby is well taken care of. Josie has seen Dr. David her entire life and loves being around him and lets him do whatever is needed because he shows loving tenderness to her. One visit at Millbrook, and you will never want to go anywhere else. read more

The fine folks at Millbrook Animal Care Clinic turned my sick dog away because we were 7 minutes late for the appointment! THEIR POLICY IS 5 MINUTES. Well, that policy is ridiculous in 2023, and putting the health and safety of an animal second to a human being 2 minutes behind your policy is terrible. You're supposed to care for animals!! Today they lost a customer! read more

Please do not take your pet here for grooming. I brought my cat in the morning for her 11:00 appointment for her twice yearly grooming. I dropped her off at 10:45 AM, and when I hadn't received a call by 3:45 that her grooming was complete, I called and asked when she would be ready. The girl I spoke to on the phone checked with the groomer and said it would be no more than 40 minutes more, and they would call when she was ready. When and hour passed and I STILL had not heard from them, I drove over. Needless to say, I was livid. My poor cat had probably been in her carrier for 5 of the 6 hours she was there! All I got from the front desk was excuse after excuse. "The groomer was late, they had to do two dogs first, perhaps I should call next time and make sure the groomer is running on time," etc, etc. That is pure BS. One would think when the appointment is scheduled, the facility would MAKE SURE they have plenty of time to work on your pet. I didn't get an apology or anything. But you can bet they charged me the full 175.00 to cut her hair. Please, don't bring your animals here for grooming. It is obvious there is a problem with both scheduling and employees. Oh, and now my cat is doing something she's never done before. She's dragging her butt across the carpet like a dog and crying. I'd bring her back to find out what's wrong, but I'm sure they'd charge me an exhorbitent fee and say she's fine. read more

It is our cat's home away from home. Great, affectionate care and boarding! Very proactive with health updates and suggestions, and staff are patient with all of my questions! Our kids refer to Millbrook as the "Pet Hotel"....pretty accurate! read more

"Shocked by the most recent one-star reviews. I have had both of my cats treated here for three years. They are amazing and incredibly responsive. Great customer service too! To Jamie S. Sandwich, IL. Molly has been an amazing caregiver at the hospital and pet sitter to my two cats when I was unable to board them at Millbrook. Love her." read more

I would highly suggest finding a different ring of pet clinics! This facility is only money driven! The personal is very rude and not familiar with any of their own policy and procedures. No receipts or documentation given when leaving and attitude when it was requested! When calling to speak with manager was told unavailable every time when calling lost my business and anyone I can tell about the service they provide!! When calling and finally getting in touch with a if you want a call a manager, she stated that I harassed her employees and cursed at them which a is a lie. I can see why she was told that as employee didn't want to get in trouble for there action or lack of. Bottom line anytime I have ever left a vet I have received documentation of the visit and your office failed to do so point blank and I still do not have any documentation. I guess it's easier to "FIRE" a client then give what one is entitled to. Maybe because dog wasn't seen and just given back I don't know. What type of business uses the term "Fire" a client. This should be yet another warning to people to not use this branch. read more

I've been going to another vet in Geneva for years. They rush you off of the phone, barely have time for your appointments, and make you feel unimportant. I'm very impressed with this place, they take time to take with you to explain everything. All of my animals will be moving here. read more

I am sure they know us well here as we have been struggling with Pema's separation anxiety issues since we got her. The doctors have been so understanding and patient with us and we finally have her on a medication that has really helped her so much. I was so anxious for awhile with neighbors complaining about her howling saying they were going to call animal control. But they reassured me that we would figure this out. She is like a different dog now and I can tell her quality of life has improved now that she is not always so anxious! read more

We've been taking our pets here for years and the staff are honestly the best I've ever seen in ANY hospital, human or otherwise! They are attentive, friendly, professional, and of course, they love animals! Dr. David B. is an excellent Vet who obviously honestly loves what he does and truly cares about his patients and their parents. (humans). Thanks all! read more

Ridiculous prices. One week with shots was $585!!! And she was full of pea when we picked her up. Need to find a new place to board her.

My puppy and I could not be happier with the care we have received. Every person we have interacted with is helpful and kind. The doctor's and technicians have gone out of their way to ensure our pup is happy and healthy. From the routine visits, vaccines, follow-up calls, and making sure to see our pup when there is a concern, I have peace of mind about the health of my pup. The staff is up-front and honest about recommendations, cost, concerns, and advice. I HIGHLY recommend this facility. read more

This is by far the best vet we have ever gone to. Dr Kaufman is so accommodating and knowledgeable! He is happy for us to text him photos or videos before we decide to bring our dog or cat in to see him in person. The visits are quick and thorough and our pets love going there (he gives them a treat or two sometimes). When other vets told us nothing was wrong with our puppy, Dr Kaufman diagnosed a urinary infection and prescribed medicine that was super noticeably helpful within 2 days. We highly recommend him and his clinic. read more

I really enjoy this vet office. The bets are so personable and knowledgeable. Not to mention I had to put down my dog here and for how much of an awful experience that was the staff did everything to make us feel better about it. Great place!! read more

I am always impressed with the professionalism at this vet clinic. And I love that I can board my dog there when I have to go out of town. They are honest; for instance they admitted that my dog wasn't eating well out of emotional distress when I first boarded him and they let me know how they were coaxing him to eat and how much they loved him. In every way, I trust Millbrook. read more

Everyone here is so friendly and you can tell they really care about your pet. Our first visit there, it was a bit busy at registration but one of the veterinarians came out and registered us herself! I work in a doctors office and you will NEVER see this from our docs if the front of the house is busy. I was really impressed! Also the waiting area and exam rooms are clean which is so nice! read more

My dog had a traumatic experience in the back with a technician. When I got home I called Millbrook to ask what had happened, and they refused to share any information whatsoever. read more

I actually liked this Vet's office until I boarded my dog Foxy for a week and they didn't take her out for fresh air because someone overlooked that I paid for this and then to find out at the end of the week she hadn't received time outside in addition to her treats I was furious, to say the least. I tried to give them another opportunity to make things right by sending my puppy there to be groomed only to be lied to when I picked her up they said she'd urinated on herself to cover up a gash they'd made in her foot while grooming her! What ashamed!!!! I could go on with the disappointing situations that occurred with no resolve...but to keep it short I'll say don't send your pets here! read more

We love Millbrook from preventive care to the ushering into the rainbow bridge they are extremely thoughtful and considerate.

Never again. We own a large breed who hurt his back leg. We had him on light activity after noticing limp and scheduled an appointment, had to wait over a week to get in. Nothing had improved with rest. Brought him in, explained everything, they took him in back to observe. I dont like that, I like to know what is being done with my pet. They walked him around, observed, felt he did not tear or break anything, just strain or sprain. Advised light activity (explained he had been for 2 weeks), anti inflammatory (no inflammation we could see) and we asked for x rays. They took them, told us they would send to our email. We got them next day and realized they only x rayed 1 view, upper leg, we asked for entire leg. Upper leg showed nothing. We have kept him lite activity, but now are positive pain is in lower leg, below ankle and foot which they did not x ray. We paid over $400 for this experience that provided 0 answers, did not include the usual 2 views, did not show entire leg. So now 3 weeks later waiting on another vet appt elsewhere with a lame dog who now, with lite activity is losing muscle in that leg. Nice people but not diligent, not good at what they do. I hope we get good answers and its not too late to avoid muscle waste or lameness. Buyer beware at this clinic read more
