Dr. Amspaugh is the best vet we ever had. Our cat, Friskie hated 98% of all vets we've visted. Dr. Amspaugh is in the 2%. We had to put Friskie to sleep last year. We are so thankful that he was our vet for this very difficult time. Dr. Amspaugh was very caring and conscientious. He did not try to pressure us to get any expensive procedures that would have only prolonged our cat's suffering. He also came in on Sunday morning, when the office was closed, to care for Friskie. He showed us how to administer some of the medicine rather charge us to do it. He was always respectful and he got second opinions without us asking. During our Friskie's last two weeks, he called us at home several time to make sure he was comfortable. On the day Friskie was put to sleep, Dr. Amspaugh calmly and lovingly walked us through everything; how the shot would be given, all the way to the burial arrangements. Finally, he spoke us all the way through Friskie's final breath. He then left the room to allow us to grieve in private. After 5 minutes or so he came back. He then spoke with us about Friskie and shared some memories of his own about him. As he spoke, he had tears in his eyes, too. He insisted we not pay that day; we could come back later. Finally, as my wife and I were about to leave, we expected the obligatory handshake. No. He gave us both a big hug; a heartfelt hug. You can't imagine how special that was. A year later that memory still brings tears to my eyes. When you go to Quince Orchard INSIST on Dr. Amspaugh. Wait for him if you have to. In our opinion, you will not find a better vet anywhere. I can't speak for any of the others vets there, but if Quince Orchard would hire him, I have to think that the rest of the staff can't be all bad.
