Barbara Berding, RVT

Barbara has been in the veterinary field for almost 20 years. She graduated from the University of Missouri - St. Louis in 2006 with a B.S. in Psychology.  Her love of animals and science took her into the veterinary profession, and in 2011, Barbara graduated from the Vet Tech Institute at Hickey College with an Associate's degree in Veterinary Technician Sciences and obtained her Registered Veterinarian Technician license in 2012.
She is a member of the Missouri Veterinary Technician Association. Her favorite things to do are cook, watch horror films and take hot air balloon rides. She resides in Webster Groves in her Lustron home with her husband Jon and their four cats.

Valerie Mongold, Receptionist

As the receptionist, Valerie is the first and last person you will see when arriving for your appointment and most likely, the friendly voice you hear on the phone. She has been in the veterinary field since 2014. She is a proud St. Louis native, although she lived in Kansas for a short time, where she assisted at a mixed animal practice. Valerie is an avid animal lover, and will do almost anything for their well-being. She is, of course, obsessed with her own fur babies, Leo, Jazzy Belle, and Ingrid.  She spends most of her free time with them and enjoying the great outdoors.  Valerie has been gracing us with her positivity, diligence and compassion since July 2020
