Milner is the best place ever. Today was a rough one, we lost our JOJO. When I called I didnt know if she had a seizure or stroke, they asked how fast can you get here? The staff treated us like family, very caring & compassionate. The care & comfort we received was above & beyond & we will always be grateful. Even the people in the parking lot were caring. To the woman who gave comfort of prayer to my husband, thank you. The world needs more caring people. Thankful for the care & gentleness of Milner Vet staff.

All our Pups have been given excellent care. Always so happy to see us and come across like we are the most important. I always recommend your Veterinary Hospital could not ask for better care. And in an emergency your treated like your the MOST IMPORTANT PET there.

Glad I chose Milner veterinary for Lucy. They were so wonderful to BOTH of us and I felt they listened and responded to everything I said. Lucy was calm and did very well with all the staff. That will definitely be her care giver in the future as well.

I have seen a few vets and I had not found anyone as skilled as Dr. Alex was with rabbits. It was a relief to talk with a Doc who was knowledgeable and confident in dealing with rabbit patients. Which sadly is rare. Front desk staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. Glad to have found a vet for my bunnies!
