Veterinarians in Shawnee, KS

“We've been taking our pup to Dr. Gilmore at Mill Creek since we acquired him 3 years ago when he was 5 months old. You couldn't ask for a more concerned, attentive, thorough, and warm person than Dr. Gilmore. He never rushes you, explains things totally in laymen's language, and remembers personal details about the pet even before consulting the chart. Our pet suffers with anxiety and yet Dr. Gilmore patiently and gently soothes his nerves so that he's calm during treatment. The practice has accessible hours and prices are reasonable. There's no effort to push unneeded or extraneous products or services. The office staff, technicians and other vets are similarly friendly and professional. On occasion during Dr. Gilmore's absence, we have used two of the other vets in the practice. They exhibited the same kind, warm, and skillful behaviors. All and all this is an exceptional practice, which is conveniently located with good street and highway access.

Noah and Dr. Gibbs were very timely, friendly, knowledgeable, and proficient.”

“I’ve had some questionable experiences with vets but this visit was an absolutely amazing experience! The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable with all my concerns. As well as they were patient and very gentle with my dog Rosie!”

“I recently brought my mom's cat in here. The doctor was friendly and took the time to answer all of my questions. I was treated with compassion and not a way to make money. The cost was reasonable and staff was friendly across the board. When my appointment was over Sara at the front desk read through my invoice with me and helped to sort out an issue with my invoice. She answered all my questions and even helped me to my car with the food we bought. Compared to other places I've been I wasn't rushed and everyone took their time to show me they really cared about my moms cat.i don't currently have pets of my own but I wouldn't hesitate to bring them here if I did. I'm glad my mom chose your office and I'm really thankful for the time every staff member took with me!”

“Update 8/13/24: We returned for a dental and some extractions. Dr. Boaz and his staff took such good care of my furbaby. Wonderful standard of care!
Dr. Boaz was very gentle with my nervous pupper and really helped ease her anxiety. Megan was the tech and she was amazing... patient, gentle and attentive. Thank you!”

“Dr. Scott is amazing. We have brought our 2 rescue dogs to her for 3 years. She takes the time to make both dogs and humans feel special no matter what is needed. Her and her staff are the best and I highly recommend their services!!”

“I just recently started coming here within the last few months because I wanted a new primary physician for my two cats and hadn't found one I was willing to call my veterinary team yet. I remembered living nearby in the past and how highly recommended they were by neighbors, so I started bringing my kitten here for his follow up shots and wellness checks. I wish I could remember the name of his vet, but can only brag about how loving and gentle she was to him! I had already decided after his two first kitten appointments that this would be the place I'd call home. It's affordable and every staff member shows so much love and care for every animal that walks through their doors.

To that point, my elderly cat (who had never been to this vet before) had taken up ill this last week and on a whim I called (and immediately started crying, worried about my cat) asking if there was a free appointment slot this last tuesday (day of). The person who answered the phone, Jenny, was the most KIND receptionist I've ever had the genuine pleasure of speaking with. She heard me start crying and told me "I'm here for you", which meant a world of difference for me in that moment. She then got with the vets and tried to switch around schedules to get my cat in ASAP, then promptly called me back, found a different day to schedule, gave me all the information I needed to feel good about keeping my kitty home for another day, and recommended urgent cares I could take her to for peace of mind if waiting a day would be harder for me. The compassion shown just in that interaction meant a world of difference. and calmed me down significantly.

At my cat's appointment yesterday, I told Dr. Wallis that I was worried about my cat's symptoms but only had about $400 to my name to take care of my kitty at that point in time. She was wildly understanding and very quickly worked up a treatment plan that worked for my budget but that would also do everything reasonably possible to help my cat in that moment. She stuck to it, didn't try to upsell anything (as others have mentioned for some reason), and it was finished within the hour. She got my cat exactly what she needed within the hour and I'm here writing this review right now because my cat is already back to acting more like herself thanks to the compassion and expertise she showed us. I could jump for joy seeing her already improving and knowing that my cat is in such good hands every time I'm there.

All in all, I moved to Kansas City and still drive to this veterinary office because the quality of care I've received every time I've been here has been genuine and phenomenal every time I've set foot inside, from the front desk to the doctors and everyone in between. You will not find another practice that cares so genuinely about your pets that is so understanding and reasonable on price anywhere that I can think of. I can't thank every staff member here enough for the love and relief they've brought me in the few months since I've made it my primary clinic.

So much love,
Finn and Stella
(And their humans, Jordan and Aaron)”

“**Update: I'm back in KC and so happy I can take my cat to Dr. Dubin. She had a UTI last week, and it was such a relief to get my little buddy on the mend so quickly.When I lived in Lenexa, this was the only place I would take my cats, and I haven't found a better vet than Dr. Dubin. She obviously cares about every animal in her care and does everything she can to make her services convenient and affordable.”

“We have brought our dog here for years for vet services and kenneling. Kind staff who genuinely care about your pets. They also squeezed us in when our dog was really sick to help us avoid a humongous emergency vet bill. Highly recommend!!”

“Great, old school vet. Knowledgeable and I trust him. Brought our cats in with a problem and he treated the problem. Was not interested in up-selling unneeded tests/meds. Was able to get in, same-day. He only accepts cash or check.”

“Dr. Cooper is the best veterinarian for my family and fur babies. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field of work, he is a practical, caring man and his love for animals shows in his work. Dr. Cooper is a good listener, he takes the time to educate you about your animals traits, conditions and how best to treat them. I consider Larry to be one of my best veterinarians, a good friend and favorite neighbors.”

“The staff at this location is very friendly and I have never had a problem with the care my pet received and after my beagle passed they sent me the nicest card with handwritten condolences from many of the staff who treated her. Thank you to all the staff at Shawnee Banfield. They truly do care about your pet.”
