Family Pet Medical Clinic

I established care with the clinic for my dog Drake after moving from California to the Kansas City area and would not recommend care for your pet unless you expect perfect and pretty all the time. The moment Dr. Waltz is faced with direction of care, explanation of labs, images or communication to address real concerns you will be left with passive aggressive responses and behavior. This clinic has serious morality issues.

The exceptional care provided by Family Pet Medical exceeded my expectations. Despite my attempts at other veterinary clinics, I was met with disappointment. The moment I contacted Family Pet Medical, I was immediately reassured by their compassionate response. Their dedication to ensuring the well-being of my pet was evident, and I am grateful for their exceptional service. Family Pet Medical has become my preferred choice for veterinary care for my pets. I extend my sincere gratitude for their attention to my pet’s needs and their commitment to ethical conduct. Their professionalism and compassion have left a lasting impression on me.

Dr. Waltz is kind, knowledgeable and amazing with animals. I've been with her now for 10 years and when she opened her own practice, I started driving 30 minutes just to keep her. Her team is wonderful, too!

I called this morning for help. My kittens got spayed at a clinic out of town. I believed at the time I could remove their stitches. I couldn’t. I desperately called for help removing JUST FOUR STITCHES. I was willing to PAY. They didn’t do the operation so they refused to help!! They clearly don’t help animals unless they can get the maximum possible profit and you have to be a customer already to get treated like a decent human being. That’s trying to help their pet. I would never ever take a pet here there morality is out of order.

Update 1/23/26- called Thursday and they got me in on Friday. Always so kind and accommodating. If you’re looking for a vet that doesn’t rush you if you have tons of questions, & has the sweetest front desk staff and techs… GO HERE 💖 Update - 4/8/25 - Called this morning to get my bunny in, and they got me in same day. Dr. Waltz was fantastic as usual. She is so gentle and has such a calming voice. Her assistant as well as the girls up front are super sweet. Once again, I highly recommend. ⭐️ Update - 2/13/24 - had to visit again with my other bunny. Again a great experience. Dr. Waltz is truly a delight. She takes all the time in the world to listen and doesn’t make you feel silly for asking questions. All the staff are super sweet. Absolutely wonderful. After going to many different vets in the Kansas City area, this is the one! So friendly and welcoming, and you can tell Dr. Waltz truly cares about the well being of your pet. Very thorough and does not rush you when you have questions. If you have a rabbit, come here! Comet approves!

Absolutely wonderful service for our dog. He gave us a scare, eating some stuffing out of bedding he destroyed. Dr. Waltz and her team were thoughtful and compassionate while working through options to get him back to full health. They communicated constantly and were fantastic in every way. I highly recommend this team of dedicated petcare health professionals!

My beagle cut his lip completely through to the facial fat on a Friday evening. I called in a panic as a new patient. Dr. Amy saw him that night and did some wonderful plastic surgery. It healed beautifully- excellent and skilled work!! I also had another emergency situation months later, and she was able to squeeze him in again. Very accommodating, prices are reasonable and the front staff is super friendly and easy to communicate with. 5 stars!! I have now referred 3 friends to this practice, I really can’t recommend it enough.
