Dr. Laine Adams

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Owner

Favorite animal: Elephants

Dr. Adams grew up in the corn fields of rural Illinois and attended Purdue University for her undergraduate degree in animal science before earning her veterinary degree at Ohio State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Upon graduating in 2009, Dr. Adams relocated to southern Maryland to work in a small animal practice and then moved to northern Virginia to serve in a larger organization. She also worked in a foundation-supported low-cost clinic, where she helped the community's pet owners at a reduced expense for the clientele. 

During the pandemic, she completed her training in rehabilitation therapy at Chi University in Florida. She is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Veterinarian (CCRV).

After years of planning, Dr. Adams’ longtime dream of owning her clinic took full form in 2014. She moved to Midland in April of that year and began renovating the River Rock Animal Hospital facility. The doors opened in late July, and Dr. Adams and her staff have been happily serving the pets and animal owners of the area ever since. Dr. Adams is particularly fond of challenging cases and intricate diagnostic work. Most of all, though, she loves imparting knowledge to her clients that will better their pets' lives in the future.
In her time away from the hospital, Dr. Adams enjoys learning about other species of animals, and she even had the opportunity to work with exotic creatures in South Africa during veterinary school. She’s also an artist and crafter and likes making jewelry, organic soaps, and lip balms. Dr. Adams and her husband, Mike, live in Midland with a pair of pit bulls, Arthur and Cornelius. They have one daughter, Lillian Ida Adams, born in 2016, and they recently welcomed their second child, James Thomas Adams, in June of 2021.

Dr. Stephanie Huff

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine

Favorite animal: Cows

Dr. Stephanie Huff is a passionate veterinarian dedicated to animal health and well-being. Originally from Mid-Michigan, her journey to veterinary medicine took an exciting detour through military service. As a Sergeant in the Marine Corps, Dr. Huff maintained fighter jets on the USS Truman, honing her technical skills and discipline.
Following her military service, Dr. Huff pursued her academic goals at the University of Missouri. There, she earned her bachelor's degree in animal science before achieving her doctorate in veterinary medicine. This comprehensive educational background has equipped her with a deep understanding of animal care from scientific and practical perspectives.
Recently, Dr. Huff has returned to her home state of Michigan, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to our team. She is eager to contribute her skills and knowledge to benefit the pets and animal owners in our community.
Dr. Huff's love for animals extends beyond her professional life. She shares her home with a vibrant family of four dogs—Calvin, Merle, Waylon, and Scarlett—and two cats, Walter and Kevin. This menagerie of pets reflects her deep passion for animals and her commitment to providing them with loving care.
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Huff to our team, and we're confident that her unique blend of military discipline, academic excellence, and genuine compassion for animals will greatly benefit our practice and our patients.
