Our Doctors

All of our doctors have been active in local, state, and national professional organizations, including the Douglas County Veterinary Medical Association, Kansas Veterinary Medical Association, American Veterinary Medical Association, and American Animal Hospital Association. Our doctors feel that participation in organized veterinary medicine is an important responsibility and have all strived to participate as committee members or officers when possible. We also believe strongly in community involvement; our doctors participate in educational programs at local schools and colleges.
