Welcome

On September 20, 2008, Hecker Animal Clinic will change its name and become Kansas City Veterinary Care.

Kansas City, MO - Founded by Dr. Dan Hecker in 1984, Hecker Animal Clinic has been a fixture at 73nd Street and Wornall Road in Waldo, serving the veterinary needs of clients and their pets in south Kansas City and throughout the metropolitan area for twenty-four years.

The clinic has continued it's tradition of dedicated, top-quality pet care since Dr. Hecker transitioned into a separate single doctor practice in 2004.

"Really, very little is changing but the name," said Dr. Ward Brown, one of the clinic's five veterinarians. "Kansas City Veterinary Care will have the same ownership and management as it has had for the past four years. And, of course, it will have the same wonderful, dedicated pet-care team: the same great doctors, technicians and support staff."

While the ownership and staff of Kansas City Veterinary Care is the same, clients and neighbors will notice that the clinic's building, at 7240 Wornall Road, has completed an ambitious, four-year renovation. In addition to significant structural improvements, the clinic now has an added entrance, an enlarged waiting area, improved traffic flow, four additional examination rooms, a consultation room and many other amenities.

The official name change coincides with the 16th Annual Waldo Fall Festival, taking place September 20 in the CVS parking lot at 75th Street and Wornall Road. Kansas City Veterinary Care will host an Open House that same day, to show off it's newly renovated clinic.
