MISSION STATEMENT
Our goal at Kansas City Canine Orthopedics is to return 100% of our patients to the activity they love and enjoy, whether that be leisurely walks in the neighborhood, playing with unbridled enthusiasm at the dog park, or having a clean run at an agility competition. We strive to meet this goal by having dedicated ourselves to becoming one of the most highly skilled, certified, and effective orthopedic and sports medicine teams in the world. Our promise to you is that we will do everything in our power to meet that objective.
