About Us
Meet Our Caring Veterinarians
Bohicket Veterinary Clinic
was purchased in 1998 by Dr. Jonathan Shong and Dr. Michelle Rockwell. They met in veterinary school and found they had the same feelings on how they wanted to run a clinic and how important it was to spend time with each patient and client. They compliment each other in their medical and surgical interests.
Dr. Shong's Background
Dr. Shong finds interest in ultrasound, orthopedic surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and large animal medicine. Dr. Rockwell finds interest in dentistry, behavioral medicine, and many routine and non-routine soft tissue surgeries. Dr. Shong graduated from Tuskegee School of Veterinary Medicine Magna Cum Laude in 1996. He spent some of his childhood in Ohio on his grandfather's farm but most of his life has been here in Charleston, South Carolina.
Dr. Rockwell's Background
Dr. Rockwell graduated for Tuskegee School of Veterinary Medicine Cum Laude in 1997. She grew up in Vineland, New Jersey and moved to Charleston when she met Dr. Shong in veterinary school.
“Simply put, the best vets anywhere! Working with a rescue group, I have A LOT of cats and kittens to look after and there’s no way I could do it without Jon & Michelle. They always find a way to accommodate whatever crisis has arisen and never say a word when I tell them I’m coming in with two cats and show up with six! Nowhere will you find two more passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable vets (I like to call then the “House” of veterinary medicine!).
At times when I have had an extremely sick kitten or cat, they would take him home with them to monitor through the night instead of leaving the animal alone in the clinic. This alone spoke volumes to me about the kind of people they are. Several of my cats being alive today only because of Dr. Rockwell & Dr. Shong. I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my beloved furry children.”

“Dr. Michelle Rockwell and Dr Johnathon Shong of Bohicket Vet Clinic treat our pets like their own. We know this from personal experience. They took our seriously ill lab, molly, home with them over Christmas so that they could monitor and medicate her themselves. They postponed a vacation until they were sure our lab, Sara was well on her way to recovery, having saved her life after she ingested rat poison.
Over the years, our respect and regard for them continues to grow. Michelle and Johnathon have proven themselves again and again to be the most caring, compassionate veterinarians who are absolutely dedicated to keeping animals healthy, extending and saving lives. To that end, they are also committed to being the best at what they do. They do not rely on their many years of experience or record of success but excel in staying current with regard to the latest and best medications and treatments available.
We feel so fortunate to know them as professionals and friends.”

“There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Shong and Dr. Rockwell saved my dog, Loomis’, life. Loomis battled IBD since she was a puppy, and most Vets would have given up on her.
Dr. Shong and Dr. Rockwell continued to work with us, and thanks to them she’s 100% healthy today! Their intelligence, integrity, and overall professionalism have been very much appreciated through the 3.5 years that I have been seeing them, and they are by far the best Veterinarians I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
