★★★★★ Our Anatolian had knee surgery and everything from start to finish was great. The staff from terrific as well has Dr. Holbrook. Highly recommend.J H.J H. ★★★★★ Dr Fields and the rest of the staff acted very quickly when we brought our dog in and they all went above and beyond to comfort him as well as to find out what was wrong with him. We'd been told something completely different by another vet which left him progressively worse and worse. Turns out he'd had an infection that we were unaware of and we would've lost him had we not brought him in to Capitol Illini when we did. Thank you all for saving Shadow's life and giving all of us the gift of a happy future with him!Erica H.Erica H. ★★★★★ Dr. Ball and staff have been wonderful assisting us with our newly adopted puppy!Tracy C.Tracy C. ★★★★★ It was a very professional experience. My pet was treated promptly and they were very honest about what needed to be done.Jeff C.Jeff C. ★★★★★ I can't say enough about the positive experience we had at Capitol Illini Veterinary in Chatham! In the past two weeks, our dog, Finn was very ill with a condition that is fairly rare and as we transported him back and forth from the emergency clinic (at night) to Chatham in the day, it was the doctors at the Chatham Clinic that figured out what as going on and what kind of treatment Finn needed. They took it on themselves to contact colleagues at the U of I to be sure that he was getting the best treatment possible!During the whole ordeal the staff at the Capitol Illini Veterinary Clinic, were encouraging and professional with my husband and I, making many phone calls to us and answering our questions as honestly as they could.Even though Finn was sick and dealing with treatments, IVs and sitting in a cage for ten days, he was always happy to go there to see the staff, his "new buddies"! The staff took such great care of him!Finn will be in treatment probably for the rest of his life and we are happy that the professionals at Capitol Illini Veterinary Clinic in Chatham we be there with him, and us.Libby TennikaitElizabeth T.Elizabeth T. ★★★★★ All of the staff at Capitol Illini in Chatham are always extremely courteous and professional. The small facility is clean and pleasant. I trust Dr. O'Brien's expertise in caring for my two little dogs.David L.David L. ★★★★★ Great. Dr Ball walked me through my pets trouble. The staff was very helpful tooMike L.Mike L. ★★★★★ Dr. Heidi Brit-Sherrock, if I could give her 10 stars, it wouldn't be enough! Both of my dogs are rescues with trauma I am unaware of. My heart dog sees everyone as a threat, and has been refused by several vets, but not her! She knows no fear, and although he may never love her, he at least tolerates her. As for me I love her!Michaele B.Michaele B. ★★★★★ Tom and I both like the vets here and the entire staff is so helpful.Beth B.Beth B. ★★★★★ The staff always connects with the pets, mine and others, I see during our visits. They genuinely care about the health of the pets.Sunil S.Sunil S. ★★★★★ They always treat my cats and myself with respect and like we are family. If I have questions they answer them.Michelle C.Michelle C. ★★★★★ Dr. Holbrook is very attentive and loves my pets to death! I wouldn't think of going to any other vet! My pups are always happy to see the vet, especially when it's her.Hazel A.Hazel A. ★★★★★ If you need a cat whisperer. This is your vet clinic.Casey G.Casey G. ★★★★★ Dr. Antonnini and Dr. Holbrook are so caring and take their time with my precious Mia.Melanie T.Melanie T. ★★★★★ The care provided to our family during the last weeks of our faithful companion’s life was so profoundly touching and professional. They provided fantastic care for her throughout her 17 1/2 yrs and helped her cross the rainbow bridge with dignity and love when she was no longer able to remain with us. I would recommend this office and Dr. O’Brien to everyone who is seeking quality care for their pets.Vicki M.Vicki M. ★★★★★ Very caring office. Great communication and service. Originally thought our dog would need cruciate ligament repair and not looking forward to the recovery period because she is a large dog and super active. However, Dr. Holbrook took another look at the dog's gait before the surgery and decided that the surgery results probably wouldn't be better than allowing it to heal as is. We appreciated the honesty and change of thought about this. The dog is doing great with a monthly injection and is quite active despite the problem. Would highly recommend this office!!C AC A ★★★★★ Brother likes his Dogtor.Stephanie E.Stephanie E. ★★★★★ My 6 dogs all see Dr Holbrook at Capitol Illini in Springfield, and there are not enough words to describe how wonderful she is as a veterinarian and how boundless her compassion is. Everyone at the clinic is outstanding and they always go the extra mile to make sure everything is right.Nancy C.Nancy C. ★★★★★ Dr Holbrook takes the very best care of my dogs!! Cares for them as if they were her own!Susan Z.Susan Z. ★★★★★ I couldn't be more pleased with the care! 10/5... more than understanding of problem animals and ready to actually helpMatt E.Matt E. ★★★★★ Outstanding service, outstanding staffCraig N.Craig N. ★★★★★ When my wife and I moved from a small town to Springfield, finding a vet for our black lab mix was at the top of our to-do list. This place is MORE than I expected it to be. The staff are WONDERFUL! Our dog hates the vet and has anxiety issues to the point where we normally have to have her sedated. The staff were able to work with us to help us help her and we couldn’t be anymore grateful! It sucks that veterinary offices (anywhere you go) don’t have many options for payment plans but we are grateful for the detailed love and care given to our dog.P.S. I have also brought my dwarf hamster here to be seen and that was also a good experience (not many vets in the area will take “exotic” animals aka any animal that isn’t a dog or cat).Sabrina D.Sabrina D. ★★★★★ The staff and doctors here are wonderful and showed genuine compassion towards my cat. Dr. McCall and Dr. Antonnini did everything they could be done for our boy and when the time came to let him go they made a very difficult experience as painless as possible for my cat and myself. I'm very grateful for their patience and persistence in helping us, even if it didn't go how I wish it would have. I would recommend them without hesitation.Joe J.Joe J. ★★★★★ My boy Moo had an episode Dec 16, 2021 where he almost passed. He had underlying heart disease and was moving into heart failure. Dr.Holbrook has given so much of her time and love to care for Morris. I wanted to leave this review because it is Nov 22, 2022 and I just got off the phone with Dr.Holbrook to develop a new plan for Moos meds. She is truly a wonderful vet and I can’t say enough good things about them.Moo ended up passed Nov 25, 2022. He was so sick. When my fiancé and I decided to put him down, the whole team was so kind. Our vet was crying, some of the vet techs said goodbye. We received his paw prints and hair in the mail with a sweet card.We now have a beagle and Dr.Holbrook will care for him as well because I’ll never go to another vet.Baylee C.Baylee C. ★★★★★ My dog loves theses guy's 😃 so do l they are really great with my baby and l appreciate that.RHEBA DRHEBA D ★★★★★ I found compassionate, capable care here for my senior cat with Doc Sherrock and staff. Thorough exam and tests were conducted and I was provided with clearly defined decision points, helping give me confidence for walking with my Izzy through this, his ninth life.Joyce H.Joyce H. ★★★★★ I have been bringing my fur babies to them for years, to me they are perfect. Have never had a problem very friendly and always helpful.Lisa H.Lisa H. ★★★★★ They care about you and your pet. Very caring vet also the same about there Chatham office too.Penny H.Penny H. ★★★★★ We've been taking our dogs to see Dr. Holbrook since 2011, and she's absolutely amazing! Our family can't recommend her enough! We had previous experiences with other vet offices that couldn't figure out our dog's issues, but Dr. Holbrook figured out the issues, and provided successful treatment plans. Not only is Dr. Holbrook amazing with our dogs, she's also great at communicating and explaining to us what we need to know.Capital Illini is more expensive than other veterinary offices, but you do get what you pay for, and they do except CareCredit which is a huge plus!Dr. Holbrook and Capital Illini has gone above and beyond for our dogs on several occasions. We can't thank them enough for all they do for us!!John K.John K. ★★★★★ My dog had 5 weeks of laser treatments here and everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. Addie did most of her treatments and we really enjoyed visiting with her and chatting with the person in charge of appointments out front. I don't recall her name but she was always helpful with getting us in and we joked about the wall paint lol. Great staff. Thanks.Heather P.Heather P. ★★★★★ The friendly and intrepid staff got us up and running with the tests and medicines for our adopted kitten, on the same day he adopted us, the price was reasonable and the service is top notch. Thank you!Timothy B.Timothy B. ★★★★★ Very kind, knowledgeable and professional. They are wonderful with animals and try to help anyway they can.Sally W.Sally W. ★★★★★ My dog Coco got sick during Covid. She was diagnosed with a liver shunt and started on medication and special food. She is doing great. The providers and staff were so great and continue to be when we go in. The last 2 years have been hard enough. So grateful Capital has been helping keep Coco healthy. Thank you.Patricia D.Patricia D. ★★★★★ Dr. McCall and staff are the best!Tamatha B.Tamatha B. ★★★★★ Super nice palace they really care and love all the pets they work with.Melissa F.Melissa F. ★★★★★ Took my cat Simon in for sneezing and congestion.

Her calming and caring personality really helped with my pup who has high anxiety, making the appointment easier.Breanna F.Breanna F. ★★★★★ After our vet semi-retired, I knew it was inevitable that we would have to find a new place for our cats. Dr. Antonini has been wonderful so far and seems to take the care to make sure issues get the attention I’d like. I’m glad I found this clinic. Despite my initial hesitancy, my cat already seems to be doing better based on a recommendation he made. I look forward to bringing our other cats here as well!S CS C ★★★★★ Thank you Dr. Antonini and staff for Skylars excellent care, even on our hardest "final" visit. Professional, polite and caring staff.Jane H.Jane H. ★★★★★ I want to let the Chatham Staff and of course our animal lover; Dr. McCall; that I love them all and that over these many many years with you all and my wonderful retired Dr. Dunphy from Illini; you are like best friends to me. My recent Dental procedure with my little Finn and Dr. McCall was something I was fearing. Extremely......Cost....Safety.....Recovery.....Lasting effects of the loss of so many teeth.....and now I can say that the help Dr. gave me and how he loves all of our pets as his own was and is the best experience. Finn did not skip a single beat. Really!!! Thank you is not enough. But THANK YOU. And can not forget Macala. (Sure that is not how she spells it) but she will have to forgive me....She is wonderful. She held and loved my Xena the day her life ended and I was so grateful to her. If you are pondering on if you should go to Capitol Illini; the answer is YES. And remember you get what you pay for....so a cheap Veterinarian is not always best. Not when it comes to family to which my animals are to me. I may not have mentioned other staff by name but none of them have ever let me or my family down. THE BEST.Carla O.Carla O. ★★★★★ Absolutely wonderfulCindy B.Cindy B. ★★★★★ I was able to get a quick grooming appointment with a fantastic groomer.

They are respectful of cost and attentive to making sure your pet is well taken care of and you walk away with the knowledge you need if they have an illness. They personal attention is much appreciated,Rebecca K.Rebecca K. ★★★★★ We have a 4lb yorkie who is 17 months old. Our veterinarian who is very skilled and qualified, was not comfortable spaying such a small dog. (She personally reached out and spoke with Dr. Christina Holbrook who is her friend.) We had a consultation with Dr. Holbrook and the surgery was scheduled. Unfortunately our girl fell into the 2% category who had a reaction to the anesthesia and the procedure was aborted. Dr. Holbrook spoke with us and advised that she would do some research to find a different drug cocktail which would possibly be better suited to our dogs’ system needs. Surgery was then rescheduled for July. The procedure went perfectly and our little girl came thru with flying colors. Dr. Holbrook was very attentive to our concerns and personally reached out to us the day of the unsuccessful attempt and again after the successful surgery. (She also personally phoned and responded to a couple questions we had prior to the day of surgery.) The vet techs who readied our dog each time were assuring and we felt she was in great hands. The office staff are patient and professional and all of them work to provide quality care. Although we will be returning to our vet for her routine care, we would not hesitate to utilize this clinic in the future should our circumstances change. We HIGHLY recommend Dr. Christina Holbrook and thank her and all of her staff for taking such wonderful care of our baby.Cindy K.Cindy K. ★★★★★ All of my interactions with Capitol Illini in Chatham have been professional, caring, and empathetic. The entire staff is welcoming and knowledgeable.

Dr. Holbrook was so wonderful, besides being a top notch vet. she is also so caring and compassionate, she made me feel at ease even in such a tough situation. Thank you again to Dr. Holbrook and her staff!!Rachelle K.Rachelle K. ★★★★★ We recently moved to Springfield from Texas and needed to establish a new vet. If you've had pets for a while, you know this is as traumatic as finding a new doctor for yourself! Dr. Holbrook and Capitol Illini were highly recommended by a colleague. They were phenomenal. We have 2 senior dogs - one who is very shy and one who is very loud. They handled them both with love and care and put everyone (including the nervous fur mama) at ease.

Thank you so much for saving our dog.Shelly P.Shelly P. ★★★★★ I would highly recommend Capitol Illini Vet, every time I have taken my dog there Dr. McCall has been so wonderful and so are the techs and front desk staff. Dr. McCall always goes thru the prices of all the tests with me and understands that I want the best for my dog but I do not have endless funds.

They even called in the following days to ensure that Porter was on the road to recovery. They definitely took care of my pup like he was theirs, and I am grateful.Meg N.Meg N. ★★★★★ Really not one visit in particular, just an all around review. This is where we take our Thor. They are friendly, genuinely care about their clients, and will be there for you / furbaby when needed. As much as they can. They do their best to accommodate schedules and Thor lets them cut his nails, but won't let me. LOL I have to ask them to teach me, I think.Third B.Third B. ★★★★★ I have been going to Capitol Illini for over 20 plus years but I will have to say I can no longer afford the services. I recently took my two dogs for a wellness exam and one was given a 1 year rabies vaccine and the other a 3 year rabies vaccine. I walked out with an almost $300 bill. I have noting but great things to say about the vets and staff but you have got to do something about your pricing. I know places have to make money but the markup on these services is way too high.Joshua E.Joshua E. ★★★★★ Able to get us in immediately after our puppy ate something harmful. Pup is doing great thanks to them!J W.J W. ★★★★★ I had gone to several vets before finding Capital Illini. They’re wonderful and reasonably priced! I have taken all 4 of my pets there. They take the time to discuss all of the needs of your pets and also take the time to answer any questions. Our cat was put on fluids 3 times a week and they took the time to show/teach me exactly how to administer the fluids to him at home. They go through each and every detail Including cost with you before performing the care/procedures. Not like other vets who often just do it under assumption and don’t discuss pricing or even what they’re doing. I love Capital Illini in Chatham and plan to take my pets there for many years to come!Nicole L.Nicole L. ★★★★★ Dr. Antonini is wonderful. He talked to me about my elderly cat's issues in a manner I could understand and laid out the options going forward. He's also kind.Mary Beth S.Mary Beth S. ★★★★★ Very great service! So glad we took our puppy here!Amanda S.Amanda S. ★★★★★ Very friendly.Tom B.Tom B. ★★★★★ We always have had a great experience when bringing our fur-baby into Capitol Illini. Even during these uncertain times where accessibility is a complication, Capitol Illini is continuing to demonstrate reliability and care.Amanda W.Amanda W. ★★★★★ Dr McCall and his staff provided specatular service for our dog, Olive==even thru the Coronaviris time. She desperately needed a growth on her eye lid removed, but she is pretty old, - Dr McCall had her minor procedure done and back to our car in less than 45 minutes. Olive has been going to see Dr McCall at Capitol Illini in Chatham since she was just a baby pup. We feel like family when we are there! Thank youPatty B.Patty B. ★★★★★ Friendly staff, great doctors. Thank you!MJ R.MJ R. ★★★★★ I can’t think of anyway that my visit could have been better.Capital Illini is always there when I need them. Everyone is always so nice.I really appreciate everything you have done for me and my fur babies.Deb R.Deb R. ★★★★★ Wonderful place. I especially value the professional manner of everyone and having my all my questions answered. I can tell each patient matters.Nancy B.Nancy B. ★★★★★ Experience was great! It was the first, I expect, of many. The doctor and staff was just wonderful, facilities neat and clean, care was gentle and comprehensive.Sharon T.Sharon T. ★★★★★ Very nice staff got right in with an emergencyAnnie M.Annie M. ★★★★★ You all were great. I can't think of anything that could have been done better. Everyone did great trying to make Chief feel more comfortable and not scared. Not an easy thing since he is almost 110 lbs. Lol. Thank you so much!Kristey C.Kristey C. ★★★★★ Been going here now for 18 years, through two dogs and three cats. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Some people say they're expensive. I really have no frame of reference, since this is the only place I've ever gone, but I will say that if they are expensive, they're worth what you pay. My dog actually loves going to the vet, despite all the poking and prodding, because she genuinely gets loved on by the entire staff.Scott C.Scott C. ★★★★★ Had to have a furry friend put down yesterday...they stayed open for us so that we could have the poor kitty looked at then sadly...put down....the staff and doctor we extremely kind and understanding. I plan on having them if I can be my cats vet. I highly recommend this place and its staff to any one who needs a vet for regular services or emergencies. If I could give them 10 stars I would.Joshua C.Joshua C. ★★★★★ They are friendly, professional, and they took outstanding care of our pet. Wonderful experience.Brad O.Brad O. ★★★★★ When I lived in Springfield, we took our kitty to Capitol Illini on Wabash. My experience there was so good, that when we moved out of town, I didn't even care to research other vets. Capitol Illini was where I wanted to go! The staff is wonderful and professional. I highly recommend them to everyone! Thanks for all you do, Capitol Illini! You're the best!Erika P.Erika P. ★★★★★ They have been wonderful to my two cats. The prices are what I was paying where I used to live. The doctors are kind, informative and treat you and your pets with respect.Michelle C.Michelle C. ★★★★★ This is the most knowledgeable and caring staff at any vet clinic I have ever been to. I have had cats my whole life and have lived in numerous locations all over the country. I would recommend this establishment even if the cost doubled everyone!Raymond PRaymond P ★★★★★ Best Vets around.Tim C.Tim C. ★★★★★ My girls love to go this vet! Everyone here is so helpful, genuinely interested in and concerned about your pet, and will do everything possible to help you with your needs. I have been coming to this vet for years and can't imagine going anywhere else!Jane Z.Jane Z. ★★★★★ I have an old uncooperative tom cat that doesn't get out much. Dr McCall was amazing and made sure I knew what was going on & didn't flinch when Pooks shared his unhappiness with the situation. Everything was done with professionalism as well as compassionately. Assistants were just as kind. The follow-up call day after explained results and suggestions for prevention, even better than my own personal physician. I would suggest Dr McCall & staff to any pet lover!Diane C.Diane C. ★★★★☆ Great service, friendly staff..Jacquie B.Jacquie B. ★★★★☆ Great placeVernale R.Vernale R. ★★★★☆ Clean, timely, attentive & professional .Sarah S.Sarah S. ★★★★☆ Charged alot for medication that I could have bought at farm & fleet myself they offered me a sample and then found out on my bill they charged me $24 for a sampleThe vet was good but I feel like I was taking advantage of because my cat was sickK A.K A. ★★★★☆ Buena atención.Liss S.Liss S. ★★★★☆ Buena atención por parte de los recepcionistas y veterinariosLiss S.Liss S. ★★★★☆ Super service and care for our pet.Clark G.Clark G. ★★★★☆ The vets are very good with your pet.

Our girl Harley had her first visit today and the staff was beyond amazing. She is very anxious about vet offices especially if she is getting a nail trim and Dr Armour was wonderful. She made sure Harley was comfortable and took the time to explain everything they were doing. And the Vet Tech Tiffany was the best nail trimmer I’ve ever seen. So quick but so very careful. Thank you for taking such great care of our Harley.

My dog got really sick during this pandemic. We think she has a liver shunt. I am so grateful to Dr. Antonini for everything he has done. I couldn’t go into apts with her, but he has been very available to me over the phone to ask questions. Also Dr. Armour did an ultrasound and also made herself very available. I have used this vet for years but have never had a dog that was sick. I so appreciate everything they did. The staff has also been great. My dog is on medicine now and seems stable.

They were very accommodating and handled my kitty well! Very informative and kind workers! They gave him a treats and a toy with his first exam. I love this place!

Dr. Holbrook gave my pup two new knees and the absolute best care for the rest of her too short life. Her love & compassion for her patients (and their parents) is palpable and I consider us lucky to have found her. Dr. Holbrook is an absolute gift to the Springfield area and I hope she never leaves us.
