Growing up on a farm, Dr. Fitzpatrick has always had a love of all things animal.  Being a 2015 graduate of the University of Missouri - Columbia she has been fortunate enough to have found her dream job. Dr. Fitzpatrick enjoys challenging surgeries and being able to help the dogs and cats in her care. She spends her spare time with her horses, cows, 4 dogs and her kids. 

Dr. Kobs came to us from Iowa and we are super excited to have her be a part of our team! She is a graduate of Iowa State University and is loving life down here in Kansas City now.  In her spare time she is a dance enthusiast and spends time with her 2 rescue cats.

Penny is our Registered Veterinary Technician and we are incredibly lucky to have her!  She loves the preventative care side of medicine and loves to educate clients on what they can do to help their furkids! In her off time she enjoys spending time with her family and is looking forward to getting chickens in the near future!

Helga is with us in a receptionist position, but is also a registered Veterinary Technician. She enjoys the interactions with clients and pets alike. Helga is also a valued member of the local rescue community, fostering bottle babies and special needs puppies and kittens.  In her spare time she loves gardening and working outside.

Teagan joined the team and splits her time as receptionist at both here and the Woodlands.  She is fast becoming an integral part of both teams and we have loved having her!  She loves spending time with her family and family pets on her days off!

Ava has been a part of the NKC team for several months now, starting out in the daycare and moving to a full time kennel attendant and veterinary assistant.  She is looking forward to hopefully starting school to get her veterinary assistant certificate soon!  She spends her down time with her 2 dogs and 3 cats and spoils them as much as possible!

Kayla joined the NKC clinic as weekend kennel attendant and is loving spending her weekends with the pups!! She is a very important part of the “behind the scenes” in the clinic!  She is very hands on, helping the doctor and groomer, when she is not taking care of your pups in the kennel!
