Dr. Kris is a 2004 graduate of the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. She worked in the St. Louis area for three years before coming home to Kansas City and joining the Noah’s Ark family in 2007. She enjoys living and working in Brookside-Waldo because it is such a pet-friendly neighborhood with a strong sense of community. She likes nothing more than running into clients and patients on the Trolley Trail or at the store and getting caught up on how everyone is doing! “Noah’s Ark has the combination of caring and knowledge that make it a very special place to work. I love that I am able to get to know our patients and clients on a personal level.”

Dr. Kris and her husband, Eric, live with their children, Claire and Henry, an English Setter, Howie, and three cats, Carmelita, Zelda, and Sheila. Outside of work, you can find Dr. Kris enjoying a crossword puzzle with a cup of coffee, holding on to aerial silks for dear life, riding bikes with her husband, trying out a new recipe, and finding new fun things to do with the family.
