If I could do zero stars I would. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. Took my rescue cat here for spay. The doctor here talked to us like we were stupid, yelled at us when we questioned what happened and way overcharged for "additonal requirements". DO NOT TAKE ANY OF YOUR PETS HERE! Read Less

What can I say about the doctor? He's a jerk. Over-charges on meds, procedures and anything at all possible that he can get away with. I called to see why when I come pick up my dog the bill I s always more than what I was quoted. His answer? Was to scream at me on the phone and call me a bad person! If you are aware of how Indian men of Muslim descent treat women- this guy is their role model!!! Lack of respect in general for women and gets defensive when he s asked about his billing procedures. Will be reporting to the Better Business Bureau and hopefully businesses lke this will not be tolerated. Read Less

Best animal hospital I've found! As an animal-lover, I've had my share of pets (3 dogs and 2 cats). As I've moved around a bit in Chicago's suburbs, I've tried different vets. When I got my second dog this place was recommended by my sister, and it did not disappoint! I've never found such a person clinic as this one. Dr. Antaal has the experience, knowledge and care to take care of your best friend, and the girls are equally experienced and friendly. The place is quaint and sanitary, and visits are efficient and affordable! They really know what they are doing here and how to best care for your pets. I'm a life-long customer for sure! Read Less

I took my dog for an exam and vaccines.  My experience was all around just very bad!!!  The assistant was extremely rude!! She looked down on me for not getting the $900 spay I was quoted.   She rolled her eyes at me and gave me a very bad attitude, and we didn't get the additional vaccine for  $1 as advertised because she "didn't  recommend bordatella" Also during the "exam" (which lasted less than 3 minutes)  the vet just looked at my dog from afar.   He didn't look in her ears or eyes,  they didn't listen to her heart like other vets do.   Very bad treatment and I'm very disappointed.  Never going  back ever.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. My first experience a few years ago was nothing to write home about, but I've completely changed my mind.My dog is admittedly aggressive, both towards strangers and animals alike. This vet and his staff do take precautions (I muzzle him before we go in) but they don't ever shy away from treating him. My fur baby has been sick for about a month - the first time, a GI problem that caused him to bleed and vomit blood. Just this week, he had bladder stones and one lodged in his urethra. As an aside, I also found out that my pup's heart is not the size it's supposed to be.The vet & his staff are excellent at calming down a hysterical pet owner (Hi, that's me!) and explaining thoroughly the problem and the treatment.Yes, it's pricey - but isn't all vet care?  My dog had surgery to remove the stones and has to be on special food the rest of his life. Dr did everything he could & more to make sure that my dog got treated properly and thanks to him, my baby gets to live and be healthy.  They even call to check in and see how he's doing which just adds bonus points in my book. I will always recommend him. Read Less

I brought my two male kittens in for neutering. After reading the other review for Giller, I was very nervous, however they took the time to explain the other situation and bent over backwards to make me feel comfortable. My animals are like family and they took very good care of them. The doctor was very clear with the after care instructions. I had a great experience. Although the building and facility appear well worn... the care was excellent. I've had no issues with the kittens surgery. The price was very competitive. I would definitely return.Read Less

May 4, 2013Please read. This is a letter that was posted for Golf Rose Animal Hospital. They would not help my babies, but Dr. Antaal did.I called your hospital at around 8:30 A.M. on April 1st because two of my cats were very ill. My seven-year-old orange tabby, Do-g had open mouth breathing, not eating or drinking because of an upper respiratory infection. He had been seen by my vet previously and was given an injection which was not helping. My vet was out of town at the time. My other four-year-old shorthair, J.J., had a 104.6 temperature. She was ONE OF THE ONES I had saved from your hospital because she was scared and going to be euthanized.I explained my situation to Tony that I have been very sick. I have a disability lawyer and do not have any income at this time because I am unable to work. Kathy told Tony to ask me how much money I could put down! Tony said that she tried her best to help me and then suggested I should try Animal Welfare League. I told Tony that this should not have been about trying and told her I'll go elsewhere.Anyone who has worked in this profession knows that open mouth breathing and a very high temperature, for whatever the reason, is a great indication that an animal is in distress and needs help immediately, but I am wasting my precious time waiting to see if Tony can push this through. Are you kidding me!! Ethically speaking, for an " Emergency Animal Hospital" the response should have been, "Bring them right in, we'll work something out" or is that a misconception? Even an "Emergency Hospital" for humans has the dignity to see you first and does not say "Sorry, you have no money, you'll have to seek help elsewhere"! You explain to me what the difference is when it comes to caring about a living being!As a previous employee, did I not pay you what I owed, even after I left? Have you not extended credit to clients you don't know? If I had just walked in instead of calling; would I have been discriminated against because of my inability to pay at that time and told to go elsewhere? I would have found a way to pay, but I was not even given that chance!This was not about you or me, but about two innocent babies that needed help. You know where my heart lies with animals, whether they are my own or not, especially after the statement I wrote in my resignation letter. Maybe that's what this is all about? Is it a grudge that was standing in the way of ethical professionalism?I did find someone who cared and helped my babies and by the time I arrived J.J.'s  temperature was now 105! Both vets even cared enough to follow-up and see how J.J. and Do-g were doing. NO, IT WAS NOT FREE, THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR, BUT IT CERTAINLY WASN'T ABOUT THE MONEY EITHER, IT WAS ABOUT HELPING THEM!To: Dr. Randhawa-Bowes Rd. Animal Hospital and Dr. Antaal-Giller Animal Hospital - I Thank You!Lesson to be learned: "Don't agitate a mother protecting her cubs"!EM Read Less

We took our cat to see the doctor for blockage,over 2 days later the vet almost bled him out, told me to put him down, took him to emergency vet in B-G he needed a blood transfusion and surgery for a punctured bladder. We have him home and is doing fine. I wouldn't bring any animal to see this man. He sent us home wtith no meds or pain killers and 1 can of food. He was hoping our cat would die so we wouldn't find out what he did. The cat was still blocked when we brought him to other vet. I am taking further action, I hope this helps you make a better choice like Lake Street animal hospital or Banfield. P.S. I had to give a 1 star to leave a review, I wold not even give it that. Cost is cheap for visits but out rageous for anything else. Save your pet if you love them don't go here. Read Less

I would add to the previous review, that they seem to tack on a few other charges that they don't tell you about at the time you make the appointment. We have gone here for a few years, though I don't know why when there are other Vetinary clinics closer to us. We will be moving soon, so the point is really moot, but worth noting. Read Less

They offer everything your pet may need from vaccinations to orthopedic surgeries. Don't hesitate using this animal hospital, your pet will receive excellent care with very reasonable prices.

Our dog was only cared for by my brother until 3 years ago. Due to moves, our search was on. Our first reaction was sticker shock, then frustration at people pushing unnecessary, and extravagent services and testing. We are so happy to find Giller Animal Hospital. It's a pleasant practice with friendly people. The prices are reasonable. The doc is a gentle man and was great with our collie. He is knowledgable and efficient. Our Lacey was incontinant when we went in and her old self within 24 hours. Were glad to have her back to normal and a Great Vet! Read Less

Had the worse experience here..I would definatelly not recommend this place. Terrible bedside manners with my dog, and totally miss diagnosis the cause of the problem. Felt like the doctor did not feel compassion for the animal, and I will never go back. Read Less

I recently had my dog in for an emergency c-section and hysterectomy. When I came to pick up mother and pups the pups were hypothermic. Within three days all the pups were dead and the mother dog was in hypovolemic shock. Our new vet was astonished that there had been no pain management offered to the mother dog. Be careful if you take your pet to Giller. It may cost their life. Another word of warning in spite of their lower prices on exams Giller makes up the difference in over charging for their prescription meds. I highly recommend going elsewhere. Read Less

Recently took dog to Giller for an emergency c-section and hysterectomy. When I picked up pups and mother dog the puppies were hypothermic. According to everything I've read that is a death sentence. The pups lived three days then died. The mother dog was given no pain management drugs after her major surgery. Her pain an nausea were not addressed. So she would not eat or drink for days and went into hypovolemic shock. My new vet was stunned that Giller sent her home without pain meds. I chose Giller because their prices for intial exams are lower than others. However, they make up for it by over charging for their prescription drugs 40 dollars for 40 cephalaxin tabs and such. Save the life of your pet spend the extra 20 dollars for the intial visit . Read Less
