I was referred to Dr Stephen Gibson for my bulldog who had a torn acl in her back leg. Dr Gibson was actually the fourth vet I took Ivy too for an opinion and he was so extremely kind and thorough. He made sure I understood exactly what was going on with my dog's knee and the different options available. He talked about all the pros and cons of the different surgeries to help me make my decision. I was extremely comfortable scheduling and bringing my dog to have surgery with Dr Gibson. It's only been a couple days since surgery and we have a long road in the recovery but I would highly recommend this vet/doctor!
