I have been going to Springfield Vet for over 22 years. So bummed Dr. Escobar retired, now soon to be Dr. Scotti. I will continue to bring my animals there, but it would be the same. These two Dr. 's very very special and kind Dr's. Excellent vets too! :(

I've used the vets at Springfield for more than 10 years for my cats. Dr. Kilgore helped me with a cat that had terrible issues and he was gentle, kind and caring. I love this practice!

Dr Shaw is great! We recently moved from California and have been bringing our small terrier mix here. I am an internal medicine physician and I love that Dr. Shaw clearly explains his differential when we present him with our dog with a specific symptom. Some other vets I've had keep the differential very broad and often want to test for various things without good explanation. Dr Shaw is different in that he clearly deduces what is the most likely diagnosis based on a good physical exam and history of presentation. He lays out the options and gives the owner the choice if they want to pursue a more aggressive workup or not, understanding that sometimes it can be expensive. He has great bedside manner and takes the time to explain his reasoning and answer any questions. Overall very glad I finally found a highly competent and reasonable vet for my dog!
