I had a great experience with River Run, Dr. Mccolman and their staff. My American Bulldog Toby had a big wound and a bad infection and they took him in the same day and performed surgery in a timely manner. They kept me informed and when Toby came home Dr Mccolman called me everyday to check on Toby. Thanks to everyone there Toby is doing great!

Everyone here treats my pet Jordan with so much patience. I know my pet is hard to deal with and I'm always appreciative that everyone here including Dr. McColman are willing to take care of Jordan and treat him appropriately. Thank you to all of you guys for always dealing with my over the top friendly and not so friendly pet Jordan. Highly recommend River Run Animal Hospital.
