I have been choosing to use Spoede Animal Hospital for over 20 years and have been thrilled with the service they provide. Dr. Gary Yavitz and his great assistants, Louise and Frank, are all extremely knowledgeable, but more importantly, they truly care about the animals they see. This shows through in the services they provide. For example, I always, without fail, receive a follow up phone call regarding any procedure done, medicine given, or issue that has been going on. And if something happens after hours, I can always count on Dr. Gary to promptly answer my emails. Dr. Yavitz will continue to be the only vet I trust. He takes the absolute best care of my three dogs. I highly recommend him and his wonderful staff.

Both my daughter and I take our dogs to Dr. Yavitz. With a total of four dogs we are always visiting Dr. Yavitz. He is knowledgeable and understanding. His staff can always find us an appointment time and regularly calls to check on the dog’s progress after a visit.

We all look for certain attributes when we choose our physician. We want someone who is competent, but more than that, we want someone who can communicate with us on both a technical and human level. We want to be able to grasp all consequences of particular treatments; we want to be able to communicate our concerns; we someone who is concerned enough to explain not only our illness, but how to prevent future problems. As we look to find a veterinarian for our pet, we want these same attributes. Dr. Yavitz meets all of our needs in this regard. When we have brought a new pet for examination, he carefully assesses their problems, treats them and then explains what we can do to avoid such problems in the future. He has a preventive care program to keep our pets healthy and is always there when we have concerns, no matter how minor they might seem. He always takes the time to listen to us. When our pet is ill, he makes sure he is able to either diagnose the problem himself or refers us to another specialist who can care for our pet. However, he is always there in the background as well, supporting us in our choices and assisting us in comprehensive care. When nothing else can be done for our pet, he helps us make the right decisions for both our pet and for ourselves. When we are ready to let our pet go, it is done in a caring manner with extra emotional support as needed. Always knowledgeable, always respectful, always caring; Dr. Yavitz is our professional of choice for any of our pets, now and in the future. Lynn S. Berry Henry L. Clouse

Knowledgeable, thorough, takes his time. Only the best advice. You can't find a better vet......

We have been going to Dr. Yavitz for a few years now. He and his wonderful assistants have made us feel very confident in our dog's care. They are very welcoming and have been very patient in answering any questions we have had. I especially like how Dr. Yavitz will respond to emails after office hours. He is very knolwedgeable and thorough in his work.
