This is my first Yelp review. That should say something. I've been taking my dogs to vets, multiple dogs and multiple vets for over 20 years. Four years ago I took my beagle mutt to my local vet and was told that she had a common eye condition that required a $1000 surgery to correct. I asked my friends if they could recommend another vet and someone came back with this place. Dr. Gibson said that he didn't think the surgery was necessary and that we should try an allergy shot to see if the eye watering was environment related. A week and $40 later she has been fine ever since. I've used him ever since. This is the cheapest, most no nonsense vet in the state. Dr. Gibson is a warm, compassionate, old school "man's man", a Georgia Bulldog vet grad, and a genuine lover of animals. His wife runs the desk and he works in clear view of the waiting room with the door to his work area open. NOW, LET ME BE CLEAR. The office smells and his work station is an absolute disaster. While the table where your animal is examined is clean and he disinfects his instruments before use, this is not a glamorous operation. Your dog licks his own testicles, and your cat eats her own puke. They don't care that his wife hand writes all your information on an index card filing system or that the nail clippers are a little rusty. What you care about is honest, competent, reasonably priced vet care. Dr. Gibson is in his 70's and based on his proper diagnosis of my dog's eyes and the information he offers during your visits, I can tell that he's extremely knowledgeable. And when he baby talks and pets my dogs while giving them shots, just like I would, I know he genuinely loves animals. Seriously, I would let this guy operate on me.
I brought my four month old puppy in for her last round of shots and to check out a thinning patch of hair on her thigh. She was diagnosed with mange and had to stay over night for treatment. When I came by at 10:00 the next morning when the office opens I was told "You should walk her around a bit before you put her in the car. She hasn't been out yet today." She's 4 months old! A puppy cannot wait that long to pee.I took her for a walk which she clearly appreciated then took her home. In the car she seemed really upset. When I got her home she ate as much food as she normally does in an entire day and drank two quarts of water (I measured it because it seemed like a lot) in about 40 minutes. I'm convinced my dog did not receive any food or water while in the care of Dr. Gibson and his staff nor was she let out. I'm filing a formal complaint with the state board of veterinary medicine. In the process I've found out that his license in on probation because he let in lapse in 1988 and didn't renew until 2004. I switched from the vet I had previously been using because I just couldn't afford them despite their amazing care of my dog. I wish I just spent the money.
Dr. Gibson is extremely nice, knowledgable, and compassionate. Reasonable prices and honestly better service than My Doctor! My dog is sick and I brought her in today ready to pay rediculous prices and wait 1/2 the day. Instead we waited about 10 minutes and walked out paying under 100 bucks! I strongly recommend this Hospital. Oh! and if you can't find it, it's on the right side of all the buildings. Also, he's a bit of a comedian and ya know... laughter is the best medicine!
