I first decided to go to Northrock Hospital For Animals back in June of 2014. My decision was based off of other reviews. So far, I have yet to have a bad experience. Each time I have gone for my dogs check up and shots, they have been very very nice, respectful, helpful and kind. What impressed me is their love for animals. My wife and I recently adopted a dog this month and it surprised me how much they cared about the dogs well being. They insisted we bring in the dog periodically (free of charge) to let the dog get comfortable with trips to the vet. On those trips to the vet, they just want him to walk around and say hi to the staff and make them happy visits for the dog, since the dog was a shelter rescue dog and had trust issues. The prices arent the cheapest but they are by no means unreasonable, especially for the experience you get. I would recommend anyone who truly cares about their furry friends, to go here. The veterinarian doctor is very nice and answers all my questions, as I had a lot to begin with. Thanks Northrock Hospital, for what you do. Keep it up!

I have never experienced a place better than Northrock Hospital for Animals. They treat me like the clinic is there just specifically for my pet only. Everyone in the clinic always greets my dog and treats her as if she belongs to them personally. My dog looks forward to going in once she realizes we are there and runs up to the staff to greet them, and loves her doctor. She has had two surgeries there, and dental cleanings, and other procedures. My dog is ten years old and healthier than I would ever have imagined and I completely credit Northrock for this. Dr. Rypma has given my dog the best care and given me the best advice for my dog, and I have never been taken advantage of. I love all the staff there, and even the staff that work in the back treat her with such special care. It is a blessing to find such a trustworthy place for my dog, who means everything to me.

My family has taken our dogs and cat to Northrock since they opened at the 29th St. location many years ago. Theyre always so kind and patient, with animals and humans both. Dr. Unruh sees our pets now. Shes a delight. You can tell she truly loves taking care of animals. We used the clinic at PetSmart for a year, trying to save money with their pre-paid plan. It was awful. Our pets were no more than numbers there; i.e. 15 year old dog=prescribe expensive food and unnecessary treatments. I once heard my little dog scream in the treatment room when they finished a procedure after the anesthetic wore off. Never went back. The staff at Northrock goes out of their way to make sure my animals feel safe and loved. They even got my cat to come out of her carrier on her own!

I think Northrock is amazing! I have 3 large dogs and have taken them there! They arent to pricy and do checkups very well. They are very knowledgable and friendly! One of my dogs does not like other people, however, they always make him feel comfortable and we dont really have any problems. They office is always very clean and so are their exam rooms. They take the time to get to know your pet and are always there to answer any questions and concerns you may have! Their boarding space is also very great. It is a nice quiet environment and they let your pet out 3 times a day for walks and play time. They always accommodate your pets needs while they are staying there. Nice air conditioned room so they arent in the heat. I wouldnt take my babies anywhere else!!!!

This was our first, but certainly not our last visit to Northrock Hospital For Animals. My four legged friend, Lucky, a Pekinese, were treated with respect, especially to her health needs. After making the appointment I contacted our former care provider of many years to have them fax Luckys records to NHFA, so they were amply prepared to deal with her needs. The desk staff were cordial, efficient and professional in starting what we hope will be another long beneficial relationship, for Luckys sake. The Doctor seemed quite knowledgeable as well as very caring. I would highly recommend their expertise to anyone who wishes good care for their animal friend.

My wife brought in our Maltipoo several weeks ago for her first check-up. One of the office girls, Erin, offered to buy our puppy. We agreed on an amount, and handed our Maltipoo over to Erin. To date, we still have not received full payment and Erin refuses to return our puppy to us. On a positive note, the check-up went well, and the vet did a great job. The irony of this situation is that my wife and I no longer have a dog to bring here since it was essentially stolen by one of their employees. Given the unfortunate and unethical situation, I am now intentional to steer friends and family away from Northrock Hospital in Wichita.

I dont know where all these amazing reviews are coming from. I took my two dogs there recently and they nickel and dimed me. Be careful what you allow them to do to your dogs b/c it will cost you. They also suggested a few items for my dogs then just tacked it on my bill before allowing me to decide if I wanted it or if I wanted to but it from them. Between the two dogs for a yearly exam it was $300. The yearly exams performed on the dogs took less than five minutes and each exam was different, which made no sense. I wouldnt go here unless you enjoy breaking the bank and getting taken advantage of.

I started going here when I first moved here in 2006 because they were close. I brought my 10 year old Chow with me from California, and she started having problems, as any elderly dog will. I went through a year with my Chow before she had to be put down. By then, I had adopted a cat, and have now added another cat and a Great Pyrenees. If I werent extremely pleased with this clinic I wouldnt still be there. I am probably pickier about my pets health care than I am my own. They do keep telling me my pets need to lose weight, though. I think they are in cahoots with my own doctor.

My dog had an allergic reaction to a bug bite, which caused her eye to become severely inflamed, to the point where she was unable to see. I called on a Saturday morning, and even though they were booked solid and I had not been there before, they were able to get her in to be seen that morning! The care that my 13 year old German Shepard received was top-notch. They even called a few days later to follow-up and ensure that everything was going well. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and compassionate vet clinic in the Wichita-area!

Dr. Rypma and her staff took very good care of my little boy Sarge until he passed. They were very kind and caring, to both Sargie and myself. Loosing my little boy was one of the hardest things that has happened to me and the entire staff sent me a very kind card with one of the most touching sayings about the way we feel about our pets. When I get another dog, I wont consider any other vet to take them to. Thank you all for loving and taking care of my little boy and for the kindness and compassion you showed me through the whole ordeal.
