Veterinary Assistant - Green Summit Animal Clinic

At Green Summit Animal Clinic, we’ve been taking care of beloved pets and their owners in Lee’s Summit and surrounding communities for more than 20 years. It is our mission to provide the most comprehensive health care available to each of our patients to create the highest quality of life possible.

In addition, we will strive to provide the best client education. We know that you want the best for your pets.

That’s why our entire animal clinic is dedicated to making caring for your pet as easy and convenient as possible.

When it comes to care, our veterinarians and staff practice the highest moral and ethical standards. We understand that your pet is a member of your family and deserves the very best veterinary care available. With continued education, we remain at the technological forefront of our profession.

If you’re looking for a veterinary clinic with excellent care and veterinarians and staff who have your pet’s best interest in mind, come in and see us. We would love to give you a tour of our animal clinic. From our clean and spacious reception and waiting room to our radiology, surgery and onsite pharmacy, we make taking your pet to the veterinarian as pleasant an experience as possible.
