Rock View Veterinary Surgery is used for a mix of routine and ill-pet care, with reviews mentioning cat neutering/spaying, dog support, and even treatment of an elderly rescue hen. Several owners describe reassuring, gentle handling (for example, a vet talking to a nervous hen during the exam), while others report serious concerns about communication and clinical aftercare—particularly around a kitten being sent home soon after spaying while still unsteady, with glue on the abdomen and an infection developing afterward. A few reviews also raise non-clinical issues, including disagreements about finances/payment plans and a complaint alleging outside welfare involvement after choosing another provider.
