Dr Johnson has been our vet for years. I am willing to drive all the way up from the city for her to treat my pets. Dr. Johnson is a very knowledgeable, excellent Veterinarian. She really cares about her patients and their owners. So thankful she has always been there for us. The ladies in the office and the assistants are also very kind and caring.

Absolutely adore this place. I have an older dog who is in decline and we have seen several of the doctors. Everyone is kind and accommodating. Mr. Fuzzybottom could not ask for better care.

I can't say enough about Lone Rock. My dog and I are newer clients, but I've been incredibly impressed. I have found that all of the staff have been incredibly warm, thorough, and knowledgeable. My dog is my world and I tend to be very nervous over her, and I feel that all of my questions and concerns have been heard out with compassion. All options and possibilities regarding diagnosis/treatment have been meticulously explored and explained.
I have also found that their practice is significantly more affordable than other vets I've been to. Vetmed is definitely not an easy industry to be in, especially these days, but Lone Rock staff really go above and beyond. My dog and I are lucky to have them!

The doctors at Lone Rock have really improved our old cat's well being. The cat is 15, and is back to doing things she hasn't done in several years.
