Been using them for years for several pet's and I couldn't be happier. Very nice people that care about the "kids"!

I have known Dr. Rick Helms for many years and he has always taken care of our pets and us. He never rushes you as busy as he is. He always returns my calls. He has done top notch A plus vet care to my animals. His staff is very nice and helpful. Out of anyone in town Great Falls Veterinary Service is the place to go. You will be disappointed if you don't.

I took my dog here to get his teeth cleaned and warts removed. The front desk girls were more informative and kind than the doctor. When I'd ask the doc (on several different occasions) information on the procedure, he'd act as if he were in a hurry and annoyed. I told him that I didn't want any prescriptions being sent home that weren't completely necessary, because I keep my pup healthy through natural homeopathy. When I went to pick my dog up I asked the doctor about aftercare instructions and he responded "I thought you knew." In a pretentious tone as if he were offended I didn't want to stuff my dog full of chemicals (that destroy his immune system). I mean, the stitches look clean, but being the person that expects compassion from their vet, I felt like there was none. Just another doctor looking to fill prescriptions with no compassion. I was not impressed with his people skills and because of that he has lost my business. I would not recommend him.

Dr Helems and his staff are WONDERFUL- they were there for us when our Rott started having seizers- he even provided us with his personal cell phone incase we needed to get ahold of him ASAP. Our pets have seen other Vets in town and Dr Helems is the only Vet that they would allow to touch them without getting nervous. Highly recommend him!

Best Vet in Great Falls since Pat Doran passed away.

Dr Helms and his staff are wonderful! I would no longer trust anyone else to see my pets and take care of them the way he does! He has taken care of my two dogs since we have brought them home with some major accidents and a couple surgeries, he is the one to go to!

I have always done business with GFVS for many years. On May 10, 2009 my Cocker Spaniel went into seizures. I called GFVS and their answering machine picked up and said they were remodeling and if it was an emergency to leave a message and someone would contact you. I left a message and her it is July 18, 2010 and I am still waiting to hear from them. Of course Angel died and the reason I am posting this review is because I just got another card telling me my dead dog needs her rabies shots! I will never return to GFVS as long as I have pets.

Dr Rick & his staff have taken care of all of my animals since he has come to Great Falls. You won't find a more competent, compassionate & accomodating vet & staff in the area. Five stars for years...

I have Bassetts & Bear Dogs, my oldest dog is 15yrs. Dr. Rick has taken care of him since he was 12 weeks old. Can't begin to list the reasons my boys have had to go visit Dr. Rick. They have been high maintenance pets. But Dr Rick & his crew are fabulous! Don't ever be concerned that your critters aren't getting the very best of care!

A+ to Dr. Rick Helms and staff. Friendly, informed and honest. While vacationing in Montana, my companions' dog was bitten by a rattlesnake. We were able to locate Dr. Helms who agreed to try treatment. After reaching the clinic, Dr. Helms and his able staff put us at ease. Dog was treated and saved thanks to the pros at Great Falls Veterinary Service. Highly recommended!
