Vca Cherokee Animal Hospital
Overland Park, Kansas
General Info
Vca Cherokee Animal Hospital delivers care to Overland Park and the wider Kansas area by structuring visits around animal daily rhythms which encompass preparation phases, curious exploration, and a desire for controlled pace and tranquility. The intake process is built around rhythm. The lobby and room corners serve as observation points where pets receive designated time to watch. Initial phases of appointments involve environmental stabilization through adjustments in lighting levels and physical positioning along with vocal tone calibration. Examination sequences in physical exams dictate that joint assessments precede oral evaluations while fur analysis occurs before abdominal contact. Healthcare providers request detailed accounts of patients' morning activities alongside any observed respiratory alterations during rest periods and modifications in dietary interest. Vca Cherokee Animal Hospital provides structured health mapping which includes diagnostic services, injury recovery schedules, stress-aware vaccination timing, geriatric mobility support, and individualized pain monitoring. The treatment schedule modifies when pets display looping behavior alongside freeze responses and gaze avoidance shifts. Handling tolerance metrics and movement recovery intervals determine procedure staggering instead of arbitrary sequencing. Following veterinary appointments, families receive tailored next-step recommendations based on their pet's individual decompression period. Certain animals respond well to immediate rewards such as walks and gentle vocal interaction while others require solitary time warmth or repetitive comfort behavior to feel secure. Vca Cherokee Animal Hospital assists caregivers in understanding post-care needs during the clinical process as opposed to just the follow-up stage. Vca Cherokee Animal Hospital delivers services across Overland Park and the broader Kansas region by assisting both nervous kittens and senior pets with sensory adaptation through a care arc that reflects animals' natural living patterns from morning light to evening reflection.

Both my kitties are now angels and I am so grateful to VCA for the care they provided. They provided clear information, spent countless hours answering my questions, and really empowered me to make the best choices I could with two sick kitties (diabetic and one with FIV/anemia). They were honest and upfront about the odds each visit, but also kind. I live nearly 30 minutes away (when traffic is good), but after testing out multiple vets I don’t see myself going anywhere else with my new kitty Clover. They truly treat you like family. Thank you so much! - Caitlin, Rascal, Indie, & Clover (who is very excited to meet you!)

I boarded my dog here for 8 days. It was the 1st separation since I adopted him less than 3 months ago. I was worried that all the work I had done to gain his trust would be undone but my dog came home much happier and livelier. I am no longer afraid to travel. My dog was well taken care of and the happiest I've ever seen him 🙂

Over priced but nice people. Took my dog in for vomiting & loose stools. They wanted to "hospitalize" with IV's, x-ray, etc. Cost was over $1,000 which I declined to do & asked just for x-ray. Young lady came back in with adjusted estimate of almost $400 as the x-ray had to be sent out to be read. I again declined & left paying almost $65 for office exam. As I said everyone (about 15 staff members at least) was very nice but the cost is prohibitive for the average person. I left in tears thinking I was having to make a choice over medical care or my pocketbook. Subsequently went to another vet. office by Kansas speedway (they perform ortho surgeries as well) my daughter had been too & they were great as well except they immediately rendered care!! Took 2 separate x-rays immediately as we feared she had blockage, gave her shot for vomiting & loose stools, pill medication & 6 cans of special dog food for upset stomach for under $300.
Again, I want to say that both clinics were comparable in friendliness but instant plan of action, peace of mind & cost were most certainly obtained from the 2nd vets. office.

I have taken my dogs to Cherokee for years. One of my dogs is 181/2, the other is a "young" 14. I love these people...from the staff that greets you to the amazing doctors who sacrifice so much. They do not push you into buying care or products you do not need. They are honorable and kind-and although they are incredibly busy, they are never too busy to take my questions that can seem endless. I have never met a group of more caring folks. They have earned something I never imagined I would give...my trust.

So far so good. I rescued an older boxer mix from GP. I liked everything I read about these Vets so decided to try them out.
Rescues try to let you know what issues an animal may have, but really taking them to a Vet after adopting is very helpful. Dr. Starr was able to find some issues on first visit. They really gave him a great checkout. They also gave some good advice about separation anxiety, which is common with new rescues.
They also did great when when my dog broke a toenail. It was pretty bad, they extracted it wrapped it up and had him back home in no time.
The office is really nice. I'm always amazed at how clean it is. Plenty of staff so you don't have to wait long to get in/out. Everyone is super friendly. It's fantastic.

I have been here before when I moved into town and had a new stray kitten I had taken in. Now a couple years later, I took him in again for what seemed to be, an incredibly sickly kitty. Turns out, he was alright, aside from some major sneezy and upper respiratory infection. The techs were great, very friendly. The vet was also very kind, took interest in my sickly boy, and was fair. He told me straight out, it would go away on its own, that I didn't need to purchase anything, but offered suggestions for things that might clear it up quicker. I love walking out of a place not feeling like I was pressured to buy anything extra. I also really like that this place has separate cat/dog areas. It makes the intake area of the vet so much easier to not be toting in a cat, into a room full of dogs, or vise-versa. Definitely a go-to in the future.

This Animal Hospital is Excellent, From the staff, the doctors, everything about this place is so welcoming! My pal loves going to the vet now, They give him so much love and treat him like one of their own. We had searched and searched for a well reviewed and established Veterinary and we are very glad we found Cherokee Animal Clinic. The doctors recommend alternative treatments and are very upfront and honest about your Animals care. It is VERY INEXPENSIVE, even better if you go with Pet insurance. We will never go to another vet.

Within the last few years we moved out west and had been taking our golden to Falcon Valley Animal Hospital but when our pit got very sick and I called Falcon Valley, their wasn't a doctor in the office yet and they suggest that I call their sister clinic--Cherokee Animal Clinic. For the past two weeks as our fur baby has undergone two surgeries and three separate stays they have been nothing short of amazing to us and our Stoli girl. The doctors and staff have just been tremendous and have made this difficult time, a little easier and have never given up home on Stoli and kept our spirits up as well. I couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Kontras and staff.

My beagle/dachshund presented with IVDD and I needed to find a great doctor for her. From the moment I stepped into this clinic, we felt at home. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get into a room. We see Dr. Starr who is wonderful with my dog and really takes the time to answer my questions and explain things to me. Sometimes vets give you that feeling that they're just trying to get in and get out, but not here. Even the vet techs are very comforting and gentle if they need to restrain your dog (and are pretty generous with treats!). My dog never feels nervous going in and feels comfortable while she's there. The one time I had to leave her there the day, she came prancing out with her tail wagging, happy as can be.When my dog was first diagnosed with IVDD, we took her to University of Missouri Veterinary Hospital because their reputation was amazing. However, Columbia is two hours away and I wanted a local doctor who graduated from there - and that's Dr. Starr! I have the upmost trust and respect for the staff here and will continue to bring my animals as long as I'm in the area.

I took my cat here, she was losing weight fast and I called them as soon as they opened and they fit her in immediately. They were all extreamly nice and caring. They explained to me my cat is diabetic. They explained every detail of how and why she was. They were very gentle with her which made me feel very hopeful and glad I had found vets who genuinely cared. When I left I felt I had enough knowledge to make sure my cat will feel much better, and I will 100% take both my cats here any time they need to.

My first visit to Cherokee was an emergency appointment for my dog when the vet I was seeing wouldn't see her for an emergency appointment til the next morning, and 5 years later I'm still going to Cherokee. Last week I took my middle cat for a case of the sneezels and this morning they called to check up on him. At least 4 people I've recommended Cherokee to have taken their fur babies there and are now just as booked as I am. It's important to be as comfortable with your vet as you are with your PCP and in this family we are. Thank you for all you do for us.

I seldom do reviews, but I'm making an exception here. The Dr.'s and staff at Cherokee have been simply outstanding in their care of my odd-ball cat, Okay. Dr. Kontras and Dr. Stenstrom managed to pull my cat back from a condition that I was all but certain to be terminal. At the same time they were always clear about which diagnostics would likely not be cost effective and those that might be worth the effort and investment. All were caring and understood the surprisingly strong bond that can develop between pet and owner. They also went out of their way to fully explain procedures and test results. Thanks to their efforts Okay is back to lounging on my keyboard and distracting me from getting things done.

The doctors and staff have just been tremendous and have made this difficult time, a little easier and have never given up home on Stoli and kept our spirits up as well. I couldn't be more thankful for Dr. Kontras and staff.

My beagle/dachshund presented with IVDD and I needed to find a great doctor for her. From the moment I stepped into this clinic, we felt at home. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get into a room. We see Dr. Starr who is wonderful with my dog and really takes the time to answer my questions and explain things to me. Sometimes vets give you that feeling that they're just trying to get in and get out, but not here. Even the vet techs are very comforting and gentle if they need to restrain your dog (and are pretty generous with treats!). My dog never feels nervous going in and feels comfortable while she's there. The one time I had to leave her there the day, she came prancing out with her tail wagging, happy as can be.When my dog was first diagnosed with IVDD, we took her to University of Missouri Veterinary Hospital because their reputation was amazing. However, Columbia is two hours away and I wanted a local doctor who graduated from there - and that's Dr. Starr! I have the upmost trust and respect for the staff here and will continue to bring my animals as long as I'm in the area.

I took my cat here, she was losing weight fast and I called them as soon as they opened and they fit her in immediately. They were all extreamly nice and caring. They explained to me my cat is diabetic. They explained every detail of how and why she was. They were very gentle with her which made me feel very hopeful and glad I had found vets who genuinely cared. When I left I felt I had enough knowledge to make sure my cat will feel much better, and I will 100% take both my cats here any time they need to.

My family and I have used this clinic for more than 40 years! All of the doctors and staff are so very kind and caring. They offer many great services and never try to "push" anything on you. They make suggestions for care and give you information to help you make the best decisions for your pet and bank account. I highly recommend this clinic.

My first visit to Cherokee was an emergency appointment for my dog when the vet I was seeing wouldn't see her for an emergency appointment til the next morning, and 5 years later I'm still going to Cherokee. Last week I took my middle cat for a case of the sneezels and this morning they called to check up on him. At least 4 people I've recommended Cherokee to have taken their fur babies there and are now just as booked as I am. It's important to be as comfortable with your vet as you are with your PCP and in this family we are. Thank you for all you do for us.

I seldom do reviews, but I'm making an exception here. The Dr.'s and staff at Cherokee have been simply outstanding in their care of my odd-ball cat, Okay. Dr. Kontras and Dr. Stenstrom managed to pull my cat back from a condition that I was all but certain to be terminal. At the same time they were always clear about which diagnostics would likely not be cost effective and those that might be worth the effort and investment. All were caring and understood the surprisingly strong bond that can develop between pet and owner. They also went out of their way to fully explain procedures and test results. Thanks to their efforts Okay is back to lounging on my keyboard and distracting me from getting things done.
