Upon entry you are greeted by zero welcome vibes. We were seen rather quickly so in about 10 minutes called back. The vet came in barely glanced at it and said "oh that's a tumor" then he put his gloves on and actually looked at it, pushing it rather hard making Bella hurt and meow in pain , he had no soothing words of comfort or kindness towards her. He went into the back and got a shot of antibiotic, shot it in her neck and then said "it may be an abscess , you will know in about a week. If it goes down it's an abscess if it doesn't it's a tumor. Then sent us home with antibiotics. He never lanced it or cleaned it , didn't even spray peroxide on it. Turns out it was an abscess thank goodness. But I would go elsewhere if you empathy towards your animal is important to you.

Compared to other vets, I feel his pricing is quite reasonable, especially given his quality of care. When I was living in Southern Illinois and doing rescue, he even helped me find good homes for many of the cats and dogs I brought to him for spay and neuter and he always responded quickly to emergencies. The few sad times that my husband and I had to have a cat put to sleep, Dr. Woodcock gave us time to say goodbye and made the transition as gentle as possible for our fur babies. I only wish I could find a vet like him now that I live in Los Angeles.

We didn't know where to go but ended up at the main Herrin office. Dr. Rhine and his son were WONDERFUL! When we arrived, two techs came out and carried the dog into an exam room. They made sure she was as comfortable as possible and called Dr. Rhine because it was really before they were even supposed to be open. Dr. Rhine came right away and explained all the options, showed us the X-Rays, and did surgery that same day. He and his son went out of their way to help make sure the surgery was done right, and Dr. Rhine's 45 years of experience was so comforting. When he explained something, you could really tell he knew what he was talking about. On day one after the surgery, the dog had no swelling at all and could put some weight on her leg. The tech who took care of post-op was so kind and helpful. I know the dog was in good hands even over night. When she was ready to be released, we got detailed instructions and have been able to call and have our questions answered since. The clinic even got her in without an appointment for a re-bandage when she chewed the dressings off :) They have kept us informed every step of the way. I don't think you could find more compassionate care anywhere, even at our home vet. I highly recommend Dr. Rhine, his son, and this facility. We didn't use the boarding facility, but it looks very clean, modern, and nice, just like the clinic and surgery unit itself. With such a great vet and clinic right across the parking lot, it is hard for me to believe anyone has had a bad experience there, but if they did, it must have been a fluke, because we had nothing but good experiences. I wish the dog hadn't broken her leg, but it was really such a blessing to find Dr. Rhine and have his expertise. I don't know what we would have done without him!

My wife and I have been using Central Hospital For Animals in Herrin for many many years, and I…read morehave nothing but great things to say about the staff there. The two people that come to mind immediately are the Vet Tec, Brooke, and Dr. Collin Rhine. Their compassion over the years was spectacular and when we had to put our dog, Rocky, down, they were so supportive. Brooke took a liking to Rocky very early on and would always light up when we brought him in. She cried with my wife when we had to put him down, and to me that's a reflection of who she is, kind and compassionate. Dr. Collin always gave us hope when we needed hope but honesty when it was time to say goodbye. We had no doubt he did everything he could to help our little guy out, by far the best veterinarian our Rocky had the privilege of seeing in his nearly 18 years of life. If you're looking for place to take your animals where they truly care about them, go to Central Hospital For Animals - Herrin.

They were quick to act to find out what was happening to him. Unfortunately they had to keep him overnight (broke my heart) but when we got him back the next day he was looking better already. We were briefed on how to administer his medicines and in less than 24 hours he was acting like himself again. What really sealed my trust in Dr. Thomas was that the office called us after a couple of days to make sure his symptoms were gone and his mood had improved. It was nice to know that they truly care about my boy and not just getting paid. Thank you so much to all the staff that helped us. I was so scared I was going to lose him.
