Capitol Illini is the Best! .. I have a 13 year old dog who needed to be seen and as usual I encountered very knowledgeable, caring staff. I am so glad I chose them! I would highly recommend them!

Dr. O'Brien and the staff at Capitol Illini Vet Clinic in Chatham always make our cat, Olive, feel special. She's 16 now and the staff is so kind and caring with her. Olive is our family, and this is how she's treated at Capitol Illini. We wouldn't trust her care to anyone else.

They have been taking care of my animals for almost a decade. Dr. Antonini has been our primary and favorite but we have seen most of the vets here at some point or another and they were all excellent. Never rushed, and the billing seems fair. Faculty is always clean, decorated and comfortable. I've never had a hard time getting an appointment or having them fill prescriptions.

The entire team always takes great care of my dog when he is in for an appointment. All my questions and concerns are addressed completely before the end of the appointment. I know Tank is always getting the best care possible when we are there.

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.

Excellent first visit for my three pups. We got in quickly and the doctor spent so much time with us. My dogs have complex histories and everything was addressed very thoroughly. The doctor even followed up with more information via email!

While I moved away from Illinois in Fall 2019, Dr McCall was our Vet to many of our fur babies. He is a wonderful and knowledgeable vet and I will never forget his kindness, compassion and support when my fur babies needed help to cross to Rainbow Bridge. I have yet to find a vet of his caliber here in Florida.

Super friendly and smart about figuring out what is going on with my dog. They talk in easy-to-understand language and discuss options, so I feel like we are all part of a team working together to get the best care for my fur baby.

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 Tennikait

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Took my cat Simon in for sneezing and congestion. They got him in that very day I called. Nice location, very clean office. Staff are nice and friendly, the vet is very informative and gentle. Plus, they have an office helper kitty and that's a plus in my book.

I love the Vet and the staff at Capitol Illini, they are so loving to you and your fur baby. 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,

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!

This is my absolute favorite vet to go to. You can tell they actually love animals and care about them from the receptionist to the vet! I brought my lab in that had ripped off her toe nail and I wasn't quite sure how she would handle the vet since she hasn't been since she was a puppy. They took the time to pet her and make her feel comfortable instead of just throwing a muzzle on her and getting done quickly.They have a vet there who is so quirky and fun, he examined my dog and spoke to her so she felt more comfortable. He is an absolute treat, I wish I knew his name!If you need a vet definitely go here, you can't beat the quality service they give you!

Our two Oversized dogs (Male Rottweiler and Female Bernese Mountain Dog) are welcomed like the loving dogs they can be. I feel that they receive personalized care. I do NOT feel financially exploited. They receive Excellent quality Vet services with loving and well trained employees.

We called Capital Illini in Chatham for an emergency for our dog. Our regular vet was unexpectedly closed, and our dog was very sick. They got him seen immediately, and they saved his life. In addition, the communication between the vet, staff and our family was above and beyond thorough and helpful. They were professional, timely, and empathetic. Thank you so much for saving our dog.

I have been taking my cats to Capitol Illini for many years and have nothing but positive things to say about their services and professionalism The doctors there take their time with your pets and treat them like queens. Always easy to get timely appointment and you never suffer wait time beyond your appointment time. I must acknowledge that they are on the pricey side compared to their vet services but the quality of service is outstanding.

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!
