We can’t thank you enough.” -Gordy and Bobbie C

I called when my cat Ashley all of a sudden starting limping. Dr. Springer was able to see me that afternoon. Dr. Springer is an amazing wonderful doctor who obviously loves animals. She treated Ashley as gently as possible yet was able to quickly determine the probable cause. I am always so impressed in how Dr. Springer explains the problem in a way that I understand and we arrive at a plan that is good for Ashley and me. The next day, Saturday, Dr. Springer personally called to follow up on Ashley. I hate it that Ashley was ill but Dr. Springer is absolutely the best vet and Ashley is on her way to feeling better.
