Dr Kersting and his staff are absolutely amazing! I am so grateful for them. Everyone is professional, passionate, educated and very friendly. They really go above and beyond in providing the best care. When an unexpected emergency arose with my parrot and on a day that they were closed, Dr. Kersting and his staff gave me great information and was able to see my feathered family member and treat her promptly. I highly reccommend them. Read Less

I love this office. They are one of the only few places in Missouri that takes care of chinchillas. As a owner of 9 they have been so much help.

Dr. Kersting is currently treating my homing pigeon, Spigot, for an undefined mass in his body that is displacing his organs and minimizing his air sac volume. When my pigeon first got sick, it happened suddenly and traumatically, and I was so afraid for him. It's still a terrifying and uncertain experience, but Dr. Kersting and the vet techs have been doing everything that they can to ensure that he and I are as comfortable as we can possibly be in a situation like this while still being truthful and realistic. Their level of care and compassion for the animals in their care and their owners is comforting, and their depth of knowledge is exceptional. Spigot will have his operation tomorrow, and it is uncertain if what they will find is treatable. Whether it is or not, I trust that my bird is in the best hands he can possibly be in, and if Spigot can be treated, I trust that he will be. I highly recommend this vet.Read Less

Dr Kersting was great with my birds but when i needed help with two sick koi fish worth about 1100 dollars, I was heart broken over there lack of concern. I've been calling every day since last Friday and the tech acknowledged that she would need to do a home visit but I have yet to be able to get them to schedule anything. I won't be using their services again and my fish will most likely die as a result of there negligence. I can't believe a doctor would treat an animal this way. It's absolutely disgusting. Read Less
