We had our first appointment with Dr. Douglas Schmidt today and I have nothing but good things to say about him! Every veterinarian weve seen at Patton has been awesome. Dr. Schmidt is very experienced and knowledgeable. He made me feel so much better about my situation (my cat started having seizures) and I feel confident that my cat is in great hands. I would recommend Patton to anyone!

I'm very pleased with their care. They are good at trying to schedule for emergencies, seem very knowledgeable, are very good with their patients, and make sure I understand whats going on. I've met 3 vets so far, and each one has been good.

Highly recommend Patton Vet Hospital! We have been going here for several years and they have always given the best care for our fur babies. They have always given us a no BS approach that was always about care and not about how much they could make off of our pets! As long as we live in the York area we will always call Patton our pet hospital!

Our dog has pretty severe anxiety issues, and we sought out Patton Veterinary for help, as they are a certified "Fear-Free" facility. What an AMAZING change from the negative/traumatic experiences we had at other vets before! They provided us with a medication "glad pack" that allowed our dog to be more calm prior to his appointment, and we ALL benefited from it! The entire staff was genuinely caring and patient, and Dr. Schmidt was superb during the exam. Special shout out to staff member Shannon who also went well above and beyond for us, before and after the appointment. Excellent service all around! THANK YOU!
