Concord Animal Hospital

Dr. King has been our primary vet for well over 30 years; I trust him implicitly. He doesn't hesitate to say if he needs to research something, and he talks to me as if he knows exactly how much I know and not as if I'm a two-year-old. \r He has been kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Just yesterday he provided a service above and beyond, and there are no words to describe the weight he helped to lift. more

I have not taken my own dogs here yet because I do not currently live in St. Louis but my mom has been going to this vet for as long as I can remember. We had a dog for over 14 years and Dr. Yaeger always took great care of her. My mom had to make a difficult decision recently to put her down because of old age. Dr. Yaeger took the time to send a hand-written letter to my family about our dog. I know that when I move back I will definitely be bringing my dogs to him. It really meant a lot to receive that letter. more

I would like to begin and tell you how disappointed I was with the practice. I have taken many a dog there in the past. Last Thursday morning my dog tried to jump onto the couch and fell back. She immediately let out a scream. She was having trouble putting any pressure on her back legs for any amount of time. I called my husband home from work to take her into your clinic. The doctor there said that she didn't see anything wrong with our dog and sent us home with non-steroidal medicine. When I arrived home from work I took one look at her and could tell there was something terribly wrong. I called your office on Saturday only to be told that Dr. Yaeger was completely booked and that Dr. Weber could see her. Dr. Weber was the one that had seen her on Friday and as for as I was concerned misdiagnosed her along with giving her the wrong medication. I was told that if I insisted on seeing Dr. Yaeger that it would be a two hour wait. What does emergency mean to you. If I just needed a doctor for annual shots I could go to a pet store. I feel that this was not handled correctly. I therefore took my animal to Webster Groves Animal Hospital where they diagnosed her with a bulging disc and gave her the appropriate medication for her condition. They also advised that we obtain a x-ray to make sure that she had no other issues. The doctor there has called once to see how Cassidy is doing and to make sure everything is fine. That is what I truly think a Animal Hospital is all about, not just the money. I would like a refund for my visit on along a refund for the wrong medication prescribed. Debbie Hixson more

My dog passed away this week after having been taken care of at the Concord Animal Hospital for all 15 years of her life. Her primary vet was Dr. King, but she had been seen by Dr. Jaeger and Dr. Voitas as well. The care and compassion she received by all 3 doctors was beyond belief. I always knew Mandy was in good hands and she would be given the best care available. I never felt rushed by either doctors or staff. Dr. King was wonderful about returning phone calls and checking up on Mandy. He always treated her as one of his own. Unfortunately, It was not to be, and at the age of 15 Mandy passed to her everlasting sleep. But I can sleep at night knowing Dr. King and I did everything possible to make her comfortable in her final days and she died with her dignity. more

Dr. Jaeger is a womderful vet. He gets on the floor to greet our dogs and clearly enjoys them. As our dogs grew older he was very focused on what was the best for them and in tune with our wishes. When our dog passed on he sent a personal note. He joyfully helped us welcome our new pet into our family. We have been bringing our dogs to this practice for 30 years and have always been well taken care of. Pros: caring and competent more

Have been to Dr. King twice now and he is FABULOUS. He even called after our puppy had a visit to check up on our sweetie. The personnel are great and courteous and will help you out with any problem concerning your pet. Pros: Gentle and loving Doc more

We just had our Whippet, Cindy there. She cut her back leg while on a walk and had to have stiches put in to close it! He was SUPER nice! Fit us in without an appointment! She also had a bladder infection and he got her some medicine for it and didn't charge us! more
