I have been a patient of Dr. Nick Lindsay's for over 10 years. I met him when he was working for a vet clinic in Troy, MO and I had a farm there. He initially was my horse vet and did a wonderful job with both our minis and our riding horses. At the time, I had a different vet for my dogs. See, I'm that crazy lady that rescues every stray I see. I've probably fostered over 50 dogs (and some cats and some horses) to date. One day an emergency arose and I needed a dog vet in close proximity. Dr. Lindsay was so kind and patient. I knew immediately I was going to move all of my business to him.After I learned of Dr. Lindsay starting his own small animal clinic, I decided to follow him even though it meant a much longer drive for me (about 40 minutes each way). It was worth it to have his experience with my animals and also because of the quality of care he and his staff provide. My only complaint was he was no longer doing horses. Bummer!Shortly thereafter I moved to Jefferson County - two counties away! But because of the extraordinary care (and folks, I'm not exaggerating) I decided I'd make the 110 minute drive, each way, to still see him.Dr. Lindsay has cared for my precious pets, and my many fosters since. He saved the life of my dear Carmelita when she needed emergency surgery and was at death's door. Post surgery, he informed me he'd never seen a live dog with organs in as poor a shape as hers (she'd been a puppy mill dog) but she was one tough cookie. She lived six more happy years after that day. She was approximately 16 years old when she passed and he took wonderful care of her. He also cared for my precious Oscar, who had SO many health issues. A ruptured eye, blindness, terrible knees, and congestive heart failure. Dr. Lindsay was compassionate, supportive and always had kind word and cuddle for my babies that were in such delicate health. So, to this day, more than six years after I moved two counties away, I still make that drive. I have another vet now for my horses, barn cats and chickens, but Dr. Lindsay will continue to be my dog vet. His professionalism is second to none, he so obviously cares for his patients and about the feelings of their owners, and he has a full service hospital with access to specialist as needed. He has never guided me in the wrong direction, he has always been honest with me about the prognoses, and he has always been fair with me about the charges.What vet, these days, still does their own after-hours emergency services, answers a frantic text on Christmas Day and meets you in the middle of the night because your precious pet needs to be seen?I am dreading the day, if it ever comes, when he no longer provides emergency services, because going to see one of those rotational students at the so-called emergency clinics is not for me!Lastly, Dr. Lindsay's clinic staff is always professional, friendly, informative and caring. The building is spotless and the equipment is up to date.I will never be able to thank him enough for the kindness and care he has provided. There aren't enough words.Thank you, Dr. Lindsay! Read Less
