Our Veterinarians

Dr. Yolonda Gray, DVM

Home town: Fort Scott, KS. I grew up in Chanute, KS, with two younger brothers.

I do what I do because: I am driven to help animals and the people attached to them.

My favorite part of my workday: Laughing along with my veterinary team members. We work hard to provide above-and-beyond care for our patients and clients and sometimes it is good to take a moment to breathe and laugh.

What inspires me: Difficult cases-the ones that really make me scratch my head and think. The ones that take me back to text books and references. I like solving my patients' illness puzzles, makes me feel like mystery detective.

I could not do my job without: My wonderfully talented & dedicated veterinary healthcare team.

I value most: My family, which includes my husband, Bruce, my 4 daughters and 2 step-sons, and 9 grandchildren. Along with my dogs Port, Hannah and the cat, Claws.

Something most people may not know about me: I am a volunteer puppy raiser for KSDS, an organization that provides guide and assistance dogs to the disabled and an a proud owner of PORT, the wonder dog, a certified member of Therapy Dogs International.

What I do to relax: Go trail riding with friends on my buddy Rocky. I also like to knit, crotchet, and cook.

Where will I be in 5 years: I hope still doing what I love to do; practice medicine, ride horses and have fun with friends and family.
