K.E.Y. Animal Hospital 855 Warden Run Road, Wheeling, WV 26003

"I sadly had to put my dog to sleep and asked if there was assistance that I may be eligible for. They were very rude, and not helpful.told me there was nothing. Well, I know the lady, so I was able to find the SPCA lady phone number myself, and was given help. She told me they should have reached out to her for me. Anyhow, I go there with my cane Corso, who sadly was in rough shape. I’m in my late 20’s, crying , very distraught and never experienced this before. The vet came in with all of his students, and I asked if they could leave. I didn’t want tons of kids staring at me when I could barely speak. The VET TOLD ME NO! And then said I was too emotional to be in the room with him. He denied me access. I spoke to the lady in confidence the next day, and she told me when they have students, they don’t get to witness too many euthanasias so this is why he didn’t want me in the room. He robbed me of comforting my dog! Had no compassion towards me when he has two dogs running the office. He judged me bc I got assistance, and now that I’m a PA, I would love to see his treatment of me. This vet is arrogant, rude, and unprofessional! My dog was a blue cane Corso named Caesar who had severe hip dysplasia. But Never again! I will PAY thousands next time just so my dog could leave this world in comfort. Only giving 2 stars bc of the lady who consoled me during my time of solace, and remained honest."

"DO NOT COME HERE. I took my larger dog here who developed a hematoma on her neck. Dr. Yurko drained it and was supposed to hold her there for 5 days until the drainage tube could be removed. They refused to show her any attention during her time there which led to her barking. Instead of calming her down they sent her home a day early with the tube still in her neck, a day before it was supposed to be removed, and then complained about how disruptive she was. Due to her being sent home in a non veterinary environment she developed an infection which led to even more complications. Recently I took a much older dog for a large tumor on her foot that made walking difficult. Dr. Yurko without trying medication or doing any scans just wanted to cut her foot off. We went to a secondary vet for a second opinion. They instantly remarked at how weird it was that he wouldn’t suggest trying anti-inflammatory medication first. On top of that they instantly were able to tell that she has an irregular heart beat, which in the 5 years we’ve taken this dog to Dr. Yurko he has never told us. If he had put our dog under anesthesia for surgery without informing us of the arrhythmia or doing tests for it, she could’ve died instantly on the operating table. The secondary vet gave us other options which Dr. Yurko did not provide that were far less extreme for a dog this old. Dr. Yurko does not care about your pet. He is notorious for mishandling pets and being aggressive. He always jumps to the most extreme options and misdiagnoses all the time. He is incapable of noticing things that should be obvious to any vet (like an irregular heartbeat. He doesn’t allow staff to interact with or calm down any animals there. This place is as unprofessional as unprofessional gets. If you care about the welfare of your animals please go anywhere else but here."

"Dr Yuro & his Special Angels are Heaven Sent . I'm so appreciative he took us on as a client during the pandemic. I just Love them All Dearly"

"Thorough, friendly, caring, and devoted. They have the utmost respect for the human-pet relationship. I often wish some of my doctors were as thorough with me as Dr. Yurko is with my dog."

"I have taken my dogs to Dr. Yorko for at least 15 years. He is a no-nonsense doctor, and his staff is professional and friendly. Driving an hour and half is worth it."
