I brought my cat in who was more lethargic, and not eating or drinking. the Vet and staff stayed at least an hour over closing time, did lab work and SQ fluids, and meds despite. very much appreciated.

The staff at YSVC are really great! I should have written a review sooner to let everyone know. They are an incredibly caring group of people. I initially came to the practice for canine massages with healing touch with Jo Grigsby (who is marvelous!). When my dog became very ill with cancer I brought him to Dr. Ruppert for a consult. Although. the outcome in the end was not good and my dog was euthanized I am confident that they did all they could & I highly recommend YSVC. The cancer had already metastasized. They were so amazing in their care and understanding at such a terrible time

Dr. Barbour and the rest of the staff at Yellow Springs are so fantastic! We started going there to continue with the clinic that our pup was at when he received his rescue care, and after taking him there ourselves we can see why the rescue trusts this clinic with their animals. The staff is so friendly and genuine, it is so reassuring to know that my dog is going to be so well taken care of. Even he doesn't get upset to go there!
