Dr. Gore treated our cat for cancer and was there for him to the very end. She and her Staff are outstanding. We couldn't have chosen a better veterinarian.

Spring Forest Animal Hospital. I absolutely love this place. I brought in a feral (not feral) kitten to recieve shots and to be checked for worms. I couldn't keep him, though I brought him in my apartment quite a few times. I wanted to give him the best chance for life. I knew they would fall in love with "Pickles ". I told them that if they found a good home for him, they could keep him. A few hours later, I received a call from them. I was right. They wanted to keep him. Thank you so much for showing the compassion you showed me.
