We've been coming here for about 4 years now with our dogs. We love them. The staff is no fuss no frills straight forward treatment which we appreciate. They're knowledgeable, don't try to shove a bunch of unnecessary procedures or medications on your animals.

Doctor Emerson and his staff are the best! It is so evident that they have a passion for what they do and really care about our little creatures. I live in Tacoma and I will travel because of who they are!!

Warning: long post. :).
I have been to many vets over the years while fostering dogs and cats in addition to my own companion animals. I needed to see a vet for my cat that was declining rapidly. I was given an almost immediate appointment and then sadly, my cat needed euthanasia. The staff was wonderful and Dr. E. was amazingly calm which calmed me. I have since left my vet of over 20 yrs. and moved all my pets into Dr. Emerson's care. I have never been disappointed with the staff or the care and most importantly, the teaching about what my pets had so that I understood fully the medication and the methodology of treatment. My rescue dog was at ease and her medical problems were resolved and since then I have a puppy that needed all the usual care a pup needs. Dr. Emerson is calm, educates you and says it in a straight forward way. Yesterday I brought my old GSD to the clinic for what I thought would be an easy fix given his age and sadly, that was not the case. My guy has a progressing disease that will require ongoing care and Dr. Emerson told me clearly and succinctly what his issues are. He asked me twice if I understood him and educated me regarding the anatomy of his problems. I appreciated that as I was in a bit of a shock when he told me what they were. Dr. E. wanted to make sure I understood the medications and the schedules. This calmed me and honestly, uplifted me despite his diagnosis. I did not have to go home and Google the medical diagnosis and make my own plan. I should add that I am a retired nurse and that I have helped with rescue and fostering for over 30 years. In that time I have encountered many vets that have performed or ordered many unnecessary tests, scans and treatments. I appreciate that I am not being sold something that my pets do not need and have to endure or that I am not gouged financially. He is now my regular vet. I know that my animals are receiving the best care, that the staff is amazing and the ability to get an appt is easy and while many complain about the parking situation, please realize that Dr. Emerson's office has been there many, many years before the valley and roads to Orting were so busy. Patience is of value for parking however the parking spots are clearly assigned, his phone number is on every post by the parking spot and the staff comes out to help you and this is especially helpful if you are bringing multiple pets to his office. Sidebar: Some of us have dog reactivity issues and with his small office and parking lot we do not have to deal with the reactivity of our dog or someone else's dog. I was in his parking lot about a month ago with my puppy who loves everyone. In another vehicle was a very big and loud dog who scared my puppy to the point of cringing. The staff appeared quickly and brought the big dog inside the clinic having assessed the issue from inside the clinic. Amazing is all that that I can add!!

Dr. Emerson is a very good veterinarian! He has alot of knowledge from many years of experience and his prices are very affordable. He doesn't suggest costly unnecessary treatments. I've taken all my cats and my dog to him for years. He has always been spot on with his opinions and advice. I highly recommend Dr. Emmerson.

Had such a great experience at McMillan Animal hospital! Dr. Emerson really knows his stuff and was awesome with both our older dog and new puppy. They helped us figure out some arthritis issues and eye irritation with our senior pup, and made sure everything was explained in a way that actually made sense.

We had both dogs in at once, nail trims and updated shots for both, and the whole team handled it like pros—super calm, patient, and kind the entire time.

No surprise charges or random add-ons like we've had at other places. The prices were super reasonable, and it felt like they actually cared more about the animals than pushing extra stuff.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a down-to-earth, solid vet who really knows what they’re doing.

Affordable pet care and everyone is so sweet and attentive. Brought my dog to get a big tumor removed off of his eyelid and they did such a wonderful job ! And he was happy as can be when I picked him up.
