We recently took our American bulldog to this vet for the first time, and I honestly can't say enough good things about the experience. From the very first call, they were incredibly accommodating and kind. Our dog isn't very socialized, so we were a little nervous going in but the staff handled everything with so much care. They actually came out to our car to assess him, then had us enter through a side door to make things easier. Not once did we feel judged or uncomfortable, which meant a lot to us. We also realized during the visit that our dog wasn't up to date on his shots (cue the guilt) but again...zero judgment. Just patience, understanding, and clear guidance on what we needed to do moving forward. What stood out the most was how patient they were with our dog. They really took their time, explained everything to us, and made sure he felt as comfortable as possible. The entire staff and doctor were amazing. You can tell they genuinely care, not just about the animals, but about the owners too. So impressed and so grateful we found them. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Had an injured dairy goat. Dr. Tillema is super knowledgeable and the staff was incredibly kind.

Brought Howie and Louie in for check up and follow up visit. I love the way the office calls to check on our fur babies to see how they are doing after the visit. The Dr and assistant are very thorough and so nice. I love the fact that they give you options and recommendations with out the high pressure. They genuinely care. read more

Brought in my almost 3 yr old frenchie with a cervical neck injury that resulted in immobilization in all four limbs, Dr.T looked over initial X-rays from emergency vet visit after the incident gave honest diagnosis and we decided that acupuncture with laser therapy. He squeezed us in later that day after an emergency pet came in for a surgery, he was so kind to work past closing time since this is an extremely critical time for my pet . This morning after the acupuncture laser I woke up to my frenchie sitting up on his elbows, I couldn't believe it , the rigidity in his front limbs were relaxed and all four limbs were able to move in full motion with no pain , he is on strict bed rest so I laid him back down and did the exercises per Dr.T , it is going to be a long road to recovery for my doggie but I am so much more optimistic and relieved that we're on the right track can't thank Dr.T enough for helping my pup and BIG thank you to the wonderful staff ! read more

Tillema Veterinary Clinic - Woke up face to face with my little hippo :) - Veterinarians Near Me - Corona, California

Tillema vet is super. Dr T is the first vet I know who puts himself down to Cash's level and talks with him. I was amazed to find out he does acupuncture and laser therapy, alleviating yet another stop somewhere else. You can see his passion in whatever he does from animals to country. The love of animals filters right down to the staff. They are all great and one thing you never feel is they are too busy to take their time with you. If you want your furry family member to feel comforted a Tillema vet is for you!!!! Thank you Dr T I slept like a relaxed baby last night since you showed my mommy how to take my medicine! read more

Thanks for caring, very genuine. 350 for allergy pills and only a weekend passed, Monday i need to pay for another opinion? Sorry, not your fault can't keep paying. Thanks for "caring " for the animals doctor. My fault ran out of money read more

Was happy at first, then it all went sour after spending almost 6000 in a surgery. That I can say was great, however, anytime "allergies" were noted, it was a few hundred dollars at a time. Even recently went in on a friday and by monday I asked more questions as things got worse..... well, suggestion for another appt and pay in advance again 2 days later? really? What could have changed or at least considered follow up? but even follow ups are $50 read more

On March 26th 2025, we took our beloved orange Tabby cat to get some help so he can feel better. It was our first visit at the clinic. When the doctor came in she introduced herself to us and then went to the kennel. I opened the door and she yanked my cat out by his two legs , I was mortified what I saw. Then she examined our cat and told us he needs to get a lot of tests done to determine what is wrong with him. We agreed and waited for the estimate which was about $1,500 . Then they took my cat in the back and we waited about 4 hours. When they brought our cat back out to us, he was so doped up that he couldn't even keep his head up. Our cat would have been 15years on April 1st 2025 . Before we left the office our new total was $2,100.00 . We were in shock and can't believe how long our Henry was in the back. When we returned home, he couldn't even get out of his kennel. He couldn't move. He went to the potty on himself because he couldn't move. He just laid there. I pressed my head on his tummy and could hear him trying to purr and he gave me one last wiggle of his tale before we all went to bed. Thursday morning March 27th our beloved cat was found in the same position I had left him and he had passed away. We truly believe the Vet overdosed our beloved cat that his little body gave out because of the meds that were given to him. We are sending a message to all who decide to take their pet to this clinic to please think twice before you do. They killed our cat . We signed a paper and that's how it ends. A more compassionate doctor would have told us to put the cat down instead of taking the opportunity to make money. read more

Tillema Veterinary Clinic has by far the best service I have experienced at a vet. Dr. Tillema and staff were compassionate, warm, and attentive. They have taken great care of our small dog, going above and beyond by calling often to follow up after exams. I never realized how lacking the service of our previous vet clinic was before making the switch to Tillema Veterinary Clinic. Our dog underwent a teeth cleaning and extractions procedure here. We made the switch to this clinic due to the much more reasonable price as well as a 20% off deal on dental cleaning(The low estimate of our previous clinic was $1700, Tillema Veterinary Clinic's low estimate was $600). Of all the clinics we called, Tillema had the lowest price. Additionally, upon our first exam with Dr. Tillema, he immediately showed his genuine concern by offering blood work and a plan to medicate our dog for seizures, something our previous clinic did not take action on. I highly recommend making the switch to Tillema Veterinary Clinic. Their service is unmatched in both speed and hospitality. read more

I had a really great experience with Tillema veterinary clinic. The staff was amazing. We found a couple of kittens that someone had thrown away and were in need of medical attention. We called the clinic and they immediately squeezed us in. Dr. T checked out the kittens medicated them and sent us on our way. Other places we called could not make room for us so I'm grateful that these guys did. read more

The DR and staff have been so helpful and trusting. We moved here last year and couldn't make the drive to our furbabies' vet in Rialto anymore so we started coming here. I was shocked at how much our last vet lacking for so many years. Our senior dog has had numerous tumor removal surgeries and this time around it was so eye opening. I was sat down by the Dr and explained everything in full detail, other conditions he noticed and natural remedies to tackle them before resorting to medication. Every question i had was answered. Both furbabies also got a teeth cleaning and I was amazed at how much more plaque and gum cleaning was actually supposed to happen because this vet got it done RIGHT! Never leaving this vet! Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Tillema is professional, very friendly and compassionate about your animal's health. His vet technicians and front office women are also great. I highly recommend Dr. Tillema and his veterinarian services. Not to mention he served in the military. He is a war hero!! read more

I had a great experience with Tillema Veterinary clinic, welcoming and really listened to my worries. I highly recommend them!!

This vet is unprofessional. They expressed my dog's anal glands without my consent and charged me for it, which made me uncomfortable. I asked for a full exam, but later found live fleas and an ear infection that weren't noted. Not a good experience, and I won't be back. read more

We found Dr. Tillema when our dachshund injured his back leaving his legs paralyzed. We desperately rushed him to different vets around the area, all who turned us away (including the vet we originally went to) because we didn't have an appt. His staff got us in right away due to the extremity of the circumstance and I can't be more thankful that this was the office we ended up at. After 6 weeks of crate rest, acupuncture and laser appointments our pup was walking again! He even took his time to call us after hours to check in and patiently answer questions. We continue to bring him during IVDD flares, we swear he shows major improvements after acupuncture sessions. Dr. Tillema and his staff were extremely compassionate and supportive during a very traumatic experience. Our family thanks you so much! read more

My 90lb doberman ran head first into our sliding glass door (it was a very clean door). All four legs immediately stiffened up, she fell over, pooped herself, and could not move even her neck. She was paralyzed. Dr Tillema is our regular vet, however, it happened on a weekend when he's closed so we took her to emergency vet hospital where I was told we would most likely need 30k surgery or have to put her down. The Lord led us to have X-rays done which showed us she had a neck injury. We decided to take her home with pain meds. Monday morning we called Dr Tillema. We started acupuncture with Dr Tillema along with taking her to a chiropractor. Happy to announce she is walking and able to do pretty much everything like a normal dog again. We still have a long road to recovery to build strength and stamina, but she will make a full recovery. Thank you Dr Tillema for not giving up on her, and helping heal our dog. And thank you to all the girls at the office for being so sweet. You truly care about your patients. You are a blessing to our family. Thank you! read more

Dr.Tillema and his staff provided my golden retriever the best care possible. They were extremely helpful and kind to me as my sweet dog neared the end of her life. I was so thankful to have found them when I did. read more

Highly recommend! We had some construction going on at the house and come to find out the contractors left some metal in the yard that had some sharp edges... our dog ended up with a really bad cut on his paw. We called and Dr. Tillema was able to get us in same day and place stitches in his paw within a few hours. Our pup is doing great and the cut is healing well. Thank you for getting us in so quickly and taking care of us in an urgent situation. We appreciate you and all of the staff for the great care we received! read more

My recent experience with Tiilema vet clinic for my cat's persistent diarrhea has left me deeply concerned. Despite being reassured that there were no parasites, a second opinion revealed she did indeed have a contagious parasite, coupled with overlooked ear mites during what was meant to be a comprehensive new kitten exam. This misdiagnosis not only prolonged my cat's suffering but also puts me and my family at risk, as the parasite is contagious to humans. My confidence in the accuracy of their testing and the thoroughness of their examinations has been shaken. I attempted to address the issue by calling their office and requesting to speak with the office manager or doctor. Despite assurances that someone would call me back,I regrettably received no response. This lack of follow-up raises serious concerns about their level of concern and care for the well-being of our pets. In light of these developments, I strongly advise considering alternative veterinary services to ensure your pets and family are in capable hands. Stay vigilant in safeguarding your furry friends. Just to add for the follow up reply, my cat is indoors only and the only pet, the new vet said it was the worst ear mites they have seen. There is no way her ears could have been clear 2 months ago. Nice try read more

**This vet is not appropriate for cats** The first comment Dr. T made was an inappropriate remark to my outfit. He then reached in the crate and yanked my cat out by the scruff with such force so fast, ignoring my plea to help her out myself, held her up for several minutes, and wondered why he was scratched; he was so forceful with her as if she were feral. Then they wouldn't allow me to be with her for her exam and insisted on doing everything from the back room; I wish I left. While I waited anxiously in the waiting room another woman talking to the front desk remarked at how bad Dr. T is with woman and asked for another vet there. They told me when they brought my cat out they gave her a shot for pain, insisting she was arthritic; but I believe they shoved her in the crate as hard as they forced her out. read more

I recently went here because they offered appointments. I figured it was best to go here and have my puppy be seen quicker since I'm pregnant than having to wait at another vet for hours because they don't offer appointments. Even with an appointment I waited around 50 minutes to be let into the room then another 10 for the vet to come into the room (there was only one other dog in the waiting room when i got there). When they initially weighed my puppy I got up to look at the machine which read 27 lbs but when they gave me my paperwork it read "37 lbs." I asked the assistant why she put 37 lbs instead of 27 and she said "I must of misread the machine." The vet then suggested all these additional vaccines and tests bringing my total to almost 400 dollars. This is including a mandatory 50 dollar fee for a physical exam in order to just be seen. I never paid anywhere near this much at other vets for my English Bulldog who are known to lead in expensive vet visits. In the end I told the assistant I only wanted the microchip and vaccines my pup needed nothing more. But, even the vaccines he needed cost way more here than at other vets. read more

DONT COME HERE! Doctor doesn't know how to care for cats! He is way too aggressive with cats when not needed to be. My cat has never scratched or growled and he is very calm. Doctor only cares about the pay. Went to a different doctor and that doctor explained how they charged me for things my cat didn't need and was pointless. My cat was very ill and he saw an opportunity to take advantage. read more

I've had dogs my whole life, and in all those years, this is the only vet where the actual doctor makes follow-up phone calls to check on my dogs. These aren't rushed calls. He stays on the phone with me until all of my questions are answered and he is absolutely sure I understand my role in the follow-up care. So conscientious and personal. read more

I can't say enough amazing things about the staff and vet. They are the BEST! I just got a Peketese puppy and took him in to get his first round of shots. When they bought back my puppy the vet tech was so nice she told me that they noticed a umbilical hernia. I went into panic mode and immediately got a quote for the surgery. The cost was VERY reasonable. I scheduled the surgery and everything went great. I received a post op phone call the next day checking up on Deevo.I live in Hollywood and drive to Corona for my babies shots and visits. I'm proud to call them my vet. That's how well I trust them. I highly recommend Tillema Vet Clinic. Even during a pandemic, they are following all CDC guidelines and I feel very safe. read more

We're new to the area and suddenly needed a vet because one of our cats was acting out of normal and has some symptoms of a cold. We called around to a few places and no one could get us in for a week. Finally, Tillema was able to get us in the next day. The appointment was quick (in and out within a half hour) and while we didn't have a firm diagnosis we started on treatment to rule out possible causes. The receptionist, technicians, and Dr. were all very friendly to humans and animals. We will be going back when we need veterinary care again. read more

I was immediately pleased because we had a very sick dog and they fit us in the very next day when normally there was a two or three week wait. I felt very confident in the evaluation/examination and the care plan Dr. Tillema created for Miles. The poor dog was suffering with an auto immune disease and I have never seen such a miserable dog in my life. So their accessibility is quick and if you have a dire need they will get you in. There is nothing cheap about vet care anywhere but I feel you get what you need and thats worth a lot. I cannot say that for many places. I felt that they took a personal interest in my dog and believe that they went the extra mile for figuring out the optimal path for him. read more

Our vet left the area and we were referred to Tillema. I can not express how thankful I am we were referred here - and to be honest also that our vet left the area because Dr. Tillema is so great with the animals and I would have never known. The staff is amazing. Very nice, caring, pleasant. And Dr. Tillema is as wonderful as his staff. Really takes the time to talk to you about what is going on with your pet and understands they are part of your family. As soon as you speak with him you know how much he cares about animals. read more

I drove up right at 8:30 am, when the open. Erin greeted me outside and asked how she could help me today. I told her about how Kona has a rash and I'm concerned. She helped me inside and asked if I had an appointment. Right at that moment, I was upset because I didn't wanna come back later in the day. I wanted to get to the bottom of whatever is going on with my baby girl. I told her I didn't have an appointment and she quickly got me started with paperwork. She said they wouldn't have a problem seeing me. She made great conversation with me while I waited. The nurse who came in was super friendly with my dog and asked all necessary questions. Of course getting her temperature was a problem, but that's not fun for any dog. Waiting on the doctor now. Great experience so far! read more

I just wanted tooo start out by saying thank you to Dr. Tillema and the entire staff here . Everyone is Extremely caring and informative and just all around amazing . My youngest pup had a very very awful flare up of her allergies .. swollen eyes and everything .. along with finding a huge lump mass on her chest.. I was panicking . The lovely staff at Tillema was able to squeeze us in the same day , they actually listened to all my concerns while being very kind and understanding on the phone. When we showed up they were very sweet when meeting my pup , very patient with her she was very nervous since she had to go in without me due to it being curbside. Which I actually loved , I was surprised by never having to wait long each time I came here Dr.Tillema came out and explained everything to me . Answered every single one of my questions ( and I ask a lot ) and was just extremely understanding when explaining the results of her mass . He was Very thorough when talking about making a plan for her care and the next steps we could take on healing her skin so we can move forward to the mass removal . Once she was all healed and after the recheck of her skin we went in for the mass removal . I was beyond grateful they worked with my work schedule . Probably the smoothest surgical experience I've had with a vets office . I was beyond thankful to Melissa for going over pricing and making that experience extremely smooth . Along with Johnna , big thank you to you for coming out and talking to me and explaining all the medicine and the after care. She was extremely informative and patient with me. She listened to all my questions and concerns. Just absolutely amazing , reassuring when we were talking and made me feel way better. I'm just very grateful to you guys for being so amazing to us during all this . Highly highly recommend 10/10 . Thank you read more

After taking Constance to another local vet with an Emergency after being dropped. She wouldn't put her right leg down. Only because Dr T was closed. I continued treatment with the other vet thinking I was doing the right thing. After 4-6 weeks of her leg being splinted, kept in her crate sedated, x rays the 18 of March then sedated radiographs on April 6th. And many return visits because she is a Houdini and was able to get out of her cone of shame and get the splint off literally 3x a week. Her leg wasn't healing. But they couldn't see why. They could see there was inflammation in her growth plate in her knee and hopefully with keeping her down it would heal. But it didn't. So after getting frustrated not knowing why my little girl couldn't be a banshee with her brother they are just 6 months old as of May 9. I had the emergency vet send everything over to Dr T for a consultation and saw him on April 27 he took more x Rays from different angles and told me that if I didn't mind he would like to consult with the Orthopedic that comes in on Wed. I said absolutely this has gone on long enough. On Wed I received a call from Dr T that in fact she had a fracture on her growth plate. Her leg could possible not grow correctly. Well I already knew that could be very bad. But he was kind and took the time to explain that it was difficult to see etc. And even I shouldn't be upset with the emergency vet. However it should have been correct within a couple of weeks. Here it is 7+ weeks later trying to give the emergency vet the benefit of the doubt. So we scheduled surgery. I took her in on May 17th the Orthopedic surgeon was kind enough to travel over here to fit her in on a day he wasn't supposed to be here. And it was Dr Tillema's day off. These puppies are my fur kids. They mean everything to me. So as a worried mom I went home with a very upset stomach and waited for a call to let me know the status update. I answer my phone only to hear Dr T say Wendy good news. Huh? After Dr Tillema coming in on his day off and again consulting with the Orthopedic surgeon after additional radiographs they decided that after 2 months her leg was calcified enough that they didn't feel the game plan was warranted still and changed course of action. Her leg is now just a very slight bit shorter and her knee pokes out slightly. But she is still growing and felt with another 2 weeks of cage rest would be enough. However it makes her predisposed to knee problems in the future. Well let me tell you I was ecstatic and couldn't thank Dr T enough. I don't know how anyone can say Dr T isn't a caring vet and is only in it for the money or that an animal having an allergic reaction to an injection is some how Dr T's fault. Absolutely absurd yeah sure sometimes he is taking care of emergencies and gets behind. My pets have been one of those emergencies one of my goats broke a horn and I couldn't stop the bleeding. They can bleed out from this kind of injury. And needed to be treated immediately. But let me tell you if it was all about the money they could have done the surgery which was in the thousands of dollars and I would have never questioned it. But he didn't. He called me with Constance in his office letting me know she was awake and that I could come get her and he would write me a check for the remaining balance on my account. As far as the negative reviews posted. Look at their profiles. They post lots of negative reviews. Dr Tillema is a well qualified vet who loves all animals. He does not have a crystal ball foreseeing the future. Animals have allergic reactions and also have emergencies. If it was your pet you would be happy they took your animal immediately even if it ment another client would have to wait. With that said I must disagree with others. I have never ever heard Dr Tillema or his staff be rude to anyone. But don't take my word for it. Check out Tillema Vet Clinic yourself I assure you he's a wonderful vet and a great guy on top of it. Plus Dr T and my husband have the same haircut so before accepting the negative do your own diligence. You won't be disappointed. read more
