We are so grateful for Dr. Rice and the incredible care he provides to our animals. His compassion, patience, and genuine love for what he does never go unnoticed. He takes the time to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, supported, and truly cared for during every visit. It’s rare to find someone who combines such professionalism with such a kind heart. Our family feels incredibly lucky to have a veterinarian who treats our pets like his own.

My experience was horrible. Dr. Rice misdiagnosed my dog not once, but twice. I brought my dog in because he suddenly couldn’t see well, was having accidents in the house, seemed to have back pain, and was circling the house looking confused. Instead of investigating further, it was written off as him simply getting older. He was given medication that actually made his symptoms worse. Concerned, I contacted another vet for a second opinion. It took them only moments to realize something was seriously wrong. From there we were referred to a neurologist, who confirmed that my dog has a brain tumor or another serious neurological condition. I truly believe that if the right steps had been taken earlier, my dog might have had a better chance at getting the help he needed. Instead, my 8-year-old dog has now been given only 3 to 6 months to live. Dr. Rice also seemed uncomfortable around my dog. He immediately had him wear a muzzle and came across as very standoffish. My dog has never shown any aggression toward him or anyone else at the clinic before. When Dr. Rice took my dog to the back to check his ears, I could hear my dog screaming. I have never heard him make a noise like that before, which was very concerning to me as his owner. It made me feel like they may not be comfortable handling medium or larger dogs, so I would advise others with similar-sized pets to be cautious. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you need a veterinarian who will thoroughly investigate serious symptoms. I recommend Creekview Veterinary Center or Green Acres Veterinary Center.
