Vet Plaza Animal Clinic

We have used this vet for over 8 years and they have been consistently reliable, helpful and compassionate with our dogs. The entire staff is amazing and they will take great care of your pets!

Brad and his team took terrific care of my dog ! Highly recommended 👍

Dr. Twigg and staff at Plaza Animal Clinic are great. The front desk staff are warm and welcoming when you walk in the door. The environment is relaxed compared to other clinics we have been to which were very chaotic. Dr. Twigg and his techs are caring, knowledgeable, and great with the animals. We have had both large procedures and routine visits and could not be happier. If my dogs could talk they would say they can’t wait to see Dr. Twigg. Thank you Plaza Animal Clinic.

Profit over Pets! Plaza Animal Clinic is the most expensive veterinarian in KC. I’ve put up with it for 3 years, but a recent experience had me move to FMA on Rainbow, where I’m quite happy. The worst part is that Plaza Animal Clinic overcharges you when you are at your most vulnerable, and they don’t care. The Situation: My 55lb Golden Doodle was attacked in the throat by a German Shepherd. A Sunday ER visit to Mission Vet Clinic took care of the crisis with surgery and stitches ($900 for 5 hours). They were awesome! After that, they had me follow-up with my regular vet to change the bandage every few days. When Plaza Animal Clinic charged me $100 for 20 minutes for the first visit and evaluation, I paid it. Then, every several days I returned. Each time it took less than 10 minutes to change the bandage but they charged $100 each time. I price checked this at two different vets and was told $0 to $29. I asked to speak with the owner to negotiate the $500 for the five visits to $200. He didn’t care. He talked in circles to justify. When I told him about my price benchmarking, he didn’t care. When I asked for the logic of $100 for 10 min of help from a nurse, he didn’t care. He said time and who does it (a nurse) doesn’t matter. Basically told me to pound sand, despite the fact I have 3 large dogs and cat and have spent THOUSANDS with his clinic over the last few years. This is all about making money, not about care for the animals or customer care. A typical small clinic has $1.5MM in revenue and the owner makes $300k. A 10% increase in prices will drop $150k to the bottom line, thus increasing the owners take home from $300k-$450k. Why not take advantage of people’s love for their pets to get a 50% raise? FMA is 5 minutes away, has four Vets and is a family business. They are incredibly fair and transparent on pricing and highly skilled. I recommend them.

We’ve been going to plaza animal clinic since moving to Hyde park. I don’t care if it was a quick visit, yearly, or calling with a question. They always have been so helpful. We recently put down our sweet girl. They helped me make the difficult decision, stood by my side, gave our entire family a shoulder to cry on. They were beyond sweet and I’m so grateful. I highly recommend the entire staff. We’ve seen several doctors and they all have been very knowledgeable, very kind, and never rushed any of our appointments! Your animal will be in good hands if you choose them!
