A vision may have started RKM, but our team built it
RKM was founded in 2011 as a single doctor practice working exclusively on equine athletes. Now we are expanded into a multi-doctor practice offering a wide range of services. But one thing that has reigned true from the beginning is that we thrive to be different.
To be better… Because ‘better’ is what our community deserves.
what drives us
At Rocking KM, our practice is deeply rooted in the heart of Kansas, serving as a multi-doctor practice and emergency service catering to the needs of both small and large animals. From routine check-ups to specialized services, we offer a comprehensive range of veterinary care. But beyond our services, what truly sets us apart is the empathy and compassion we extend to every client – treating each interaction not just as a medical appointment, but as a genuine connection of a friend and neighbor that is here to help.
We too, are dog lovers and understand your bond. We too, are producing the finest beef in the US and understand that sometimes decisions are economically based. We too, are equine competitors and understand the fiery passion of a win. There is truly no better feeling than seeing our clients, or rather, neighbors, succeed. Success may look different to each of our clients, but we are here to be with you on your journey. We are here to champion you and help navigate issues along the road to your success. Success for you is success for us.

our docs
Dr. Kathryn Miller earned her veterinary degree from Kansas State in 2010. Currently residing in Cottonwood Falls with her husband and their daughter, Dr. Miller is an active competitor in the National Reining Horse Association and strongly feels that this helps her understand her Equine Performance clients. Her passion for equines extends to equine sports medicine, sports medicine rehabilitation, and equine emergency care.
