Dr. Lyle has been our vet for all our dogs for nearly 20 years. He is an exceptional veterinarian. He is an excellent surgeon and diagnostician. The staff is friendly and the prices for the most part are affordable.

Dr. Lyle and his staff are amazing. They have the most fair prices I have ever found at a vet and are so knowledgeable and compassionate about their work. I will never go anywhere else!

My dog Rosie broke her leg and I was quoted around 4k, I called so many places asking if they would do it for lower than that. When I had given up Dr. Lyle called me and said he would do it, and gave me a price that was well within my budget. I almost cried, he has taken such good care of her. I am about an hour away from this place and i am so happy to make the drive. I highly recommend them. I’ve never seen such a great caring place. You can genuinely tell they care, which gives me a lot of comfort in taking my dog there.

Dr. Lyle is the most caring and big hearted animal person I have ever met. He truly takes the words passion and love to a whole new level that is above and beyond. A friend recommended him for our dog and we were is such awe of how much time he took along with the steps he took to ensure our dog was well taken care of. It is about a 45 min drive for us to see Dr. Lyle but we will continue to make the drive no matter what just because of the care and trust we have in Dr. Lyle! Highly recommend!!!!

My baby Nyla was hit by a car and I called Crest and they recommended me to take her to Blue Pearl and then I brought her back to Crest for her follow-up and she’s doing so much better. She’s still trying to stay off her left back leg, but she moving around much better! Thank you to both clinics! ?? My entire family and friends love our Nyla Boo❤️

Dr. Lyle and his staff are the best! Hands down! I drive 20-30 mins to his office and I’d drive further and wouldn’t blink an eye. Dr. Lyle cares so much about the animals he sees it’s so incredibly obvious. He could charge so much more for his services but you can tell he does this job because he wants to help the animals and their clients. They are always busy but that tells you something… they have a lot of business and they take time to love your babies like they are your babies.

Dr. Lyle is great. I thought my dog needed emergency surgery. I was told Dr Lyle had a full week and was leaving town the following but that they would do what they could. Dr. Lyle called directly and even followed up with a call the next morning to see what my dog needed and to try to work us into his schedule. The price quoted for the ACL surgery was super competitive. The Dr is a stand up guy and it felt like he really cared about an animal in pain.

Dr. Lyle and his staff are amazing.
Personable, caring, efficient and much more!!! My two pups love going there…even though they know that they’re going to get poked and prodded and maybe even a vaccination. Crest Animal Hospital is THE best vet clinic in KC!!!

Truly the absolute best vet clinic around. The staff all honestly care about your pet & not just all about how much money they can get out of you. I've taken all my dogs to Crest over the yrs. I tried others, for one reason or another (like when I moved out of town), but no other place seemed to have the same caring & compassionate energy. I won't take my pets anywhere else.

We’ve gone to Dr. Lyle for three of our dogs: one for a broken leg, one for a CCL surgery, and one for what turned out to be heartburn.
When our dog fractured her leg it was on a Sunday so we went to Blue Pearl as our regular vet was closed. They quoted us $5-6k for surgery with no other options after doing X-Rays and putting her in a splint. The next day we called our regular vet who referred us to Dr. Lyle. When we came in he took more X-Rays as BP’s were blurry and suggested that due to our dog’s lightweight breed, her age, and the location of her fractures, casting and kenneling her would be the best route. He could have insisted on surgery like Blue Pearl did, and we would have gladly paid for it, but he said that he thought natural healing would be best for our girl long term. The entire bill we had from Dr. Lyle, including X-Rays, visits, and splits every two weeks, was less than what we paid at Blue Pearl for an emergency X-Ray and splint. Three years later, our girl has no issues at all for her leg — even when running at full speed as a sight hound.
A couple of years later another dog of ours tore his CCL. Dr. Lyle suggested that the tightrope method of repair would be best. When I asked if it was true that dogs that tore one CCL were likely to tear the other he confirmed it was true 50% of the time — then told us that if our boy tore the second one he would work with us on the price of the secondary surgery as they are expensive and offered to cut the price by nearly 45%. A year and a half later our boy is doing amazingly.
Lastly, our third dog was behaving strangely, and we called Crest on a Friday afternoon. Dr. Lyle was in surgery but called us back AFTER their office had closed and told us to bring him in Saturday morning so he could squeeze him in between surgeries. Luckily it was only heartburn, but we didn’t have to worry all weekend or pay Blue Pearl a fortune to get him in before the end of the weekend.
Additionally, every time that we had to go to Crest Animal, Dr. Lyle gave us his personal cell phone number and told us to call him anytime if we had questions OUTSIDE of office hours, which is both unheard of and an insane relief when you have a sick pet.
All in all, and I am so sorry for the long review, there is no better place or people to bring your animals. They are kind, compassionate, cost a fraction of other places if you have an emergency situation, and will always tell you the best option for your pet’s long term health.
