Recently moved to the area and decided to try rock spring. All the staff is wonderful! My dog recently had a tooth extraction, the price was great (far less then what I was quoted at my previous vet). They called to see how she was doing after and were very attentive to all our questions and concerns. So far Rock Spring has been the best experience I have had as a fairly new dog owner.

Critical:Professionalism
I did not even get to receive service from this buiness because the receptionist was so rude. Try for better customer service. This could have been a great opportunity to work with a rescue. 1st impressions are everything.

The staff at Rock Spring is great to work with.
Dr. Gibson is very caring and always takes the time to answer our questions. She always loves on our little guy (Levi) making him feel comfortable. The rewards program is great, too.

My hamster has had a tumor for over a month now. It ruptured and I've been calling around trying to get someone to see him but many places do not see animals other than cats and dogs. Chadwell makes you call at 8am on the dot to get a random emergency visit in which is not convenient at all. Rock spring vet is 5 minutes form my house and I was able to get a very quick appointment just by going to their website and choosing a day that fit for me. The staff was very nice and I am happy to know there is a vet close to my house that I can take all of my animals to if I need to. Thank you.

I have taken my pets to Dr. Gibson for years. Everyone at the clinic is amazing. I have a 10yr old boxer who has health issues and whenever I need them they are there. I wouldn't take my girl anywhere else.
