Gibson George E, DVM

This is my first Unilocal 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.
