This clinic has undergone a severe and widely noticed decline by including vets with such bad attitudes, like HEATHER RICHARDSON, that is NOT TRUSTWORTHY for animal care. Our family, neighbors, fellow ranchers, and farm-animal community have relied on Stockmans Vet Clinic since it first opened. The difference in care, professionalism, and judgment since the departure of Dr. Kramer is stark and already well known throughout this town. We arrived with a dog actively bleeding from a longstanding mass -- a situation that required immediate triage. Despite having a confirmed appointment, we were told we were not on the schedule. No attempt was made to verify the error, correct it, or address the medical emergency in front of them. The veterinarian who interacted with us demonstrated no urgency, no empathy, and no professionalism. Communication was dismissive and disrespectful, and our dog's condition was minimized rather than assessed. At no point was there concern for the risk of continued bleeding or deterioration. This was not a misunderstanding -- it was a failure of basic veterinary responsibility. When a clinic cannot manage scheduling accurately, respond appropriately to an emergency, or treat long-term clients with professionalism, it raises serious concerns about patient safety. Among long-time ranchers and animal owners in this area, the decline of this clinic is already being discussed openly. Trust, once lost, does not return easily -- especially when animals' lives are placed at risk. We will not return, and we can no longer recommend this clinic to anyone who expects competent, compassionate veterinary care. read more

I really like the fine folks at Stockman's clinic! Since North Platte Vet Clinic closed I have been looking and looking until I ran across Heather Richards and found my new Vet! So happy with the way she cares for the dogs and doesn't "upsell" you like some other places I have been to. Fair, upfront pricing is very important when it comes to vet care and she walked me right through all I needed to know. Super A++++ I'm taking my dog in tomorrow! read more
