Raytown-Gregory Animal Health Center: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I love it here and my dogs do too. Excellent service and very knowledgeable and compassionate doctors and staff.
Fantastic experience: OAll the Dr's.are great and my dogs have always got exceptional care, I have been a pet parent since Dec1997 and all my dogs (4) and 2 grand dogs have had their medical needs taken care of here. All future pets will as well
Positive experience: This has been my 'go-to' vet for nearly a decade and one thing that makes me recommend this clinic is the stability of the staff, from vets to office staff to vet techs. I did have one poor encounter recently, where a pet owner didn't control his two full-grown German Shepherds, who went after my 11-year-old dachshund. No fault of the clinic -- just had no way to keep away from the aggressive dogs and a bad owner.
Fantastic experience: Well staffed, clean facilities and friendly staff. Overall a good experience.
Fantastic experience: Always pleasant and ever so competent. Very thorough and efficient. Veterinarians are compassionate and concerned with providing the best care possible
Fantastic experience: Very Professional and the Doctors and Staff are very professional about your Animals needs.
Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend Raytown-Gregory Animal Health Center to everyone. The Doctors and Staff are knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. All of my pets are (or have been) patients there; from my diabetic/hyperthyroidism/one-eyed geriatric cat, my puppies to old age, and to the cats that saw the ‘vacancy’ sign on my door, lol. My latest trip was with my 14 y/o border collie mix that is allergic to everything (thank goodness for Apoquel) for her annual check that turned into more than routine. After an ultrasound and consultation with Dr. Beachner, we are now in hospice care. Raytown-Gregory Animal Health Center is the best in town. Over 25+ years, thank you for being there to take care of my four-legged and one 3-legged family members.
Fantastic experience: The staff is very welcoming, understanding, and informative. Granted, it's a pain getting an appointment but that's because they are swamped with patients. Everybody brings their pets here for good reason, they are amazing. If you ever need reliable and caring vets that will give your pet the assistance they need, please visit these fantastic clinic!
Fantastic experience: Had to take our senior kitty to See Dr. Godwin. This was our first time at Raytown-Gregory Animal Health Center and I couldn't be happier. The wait was minimal and with animals, that's appreciated. Dr. Godwin is amazing and our Sirius is feeling so much better. The location is easy to get to and the place is really, really clean and smells nice. I will say it's a tad pricey but all vets are. Still, we will be going back and taking our other animals there.
Fantastic experience: Staff is fantastic and will go out of their way to help you. All the vets are quality practitioners that show your pet is valued and listen to your concern.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic office doctors and doctors team. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Beachner not only gave our new puppy a very through examination but also spent a long time answering our questions. The clinic itself is very clean, spacious, and the prices were more than fair. This clinic is very professional and my husband and I were really happy with the service we were given.
Fantastic experience: My dog was injured and I never been seen at this clinic before in between looking for a new one and they were able to get me in the same day which was awesome. The staff and the vet were super nice and welcoming and help get Lola squared away. I believe we found Lola a new vet :)
Fantastic experience: My 1st visit with my puppy, Lizzie. The entire staff as well as other clients were awesome, gentle and welcoming not only to Lizzie but to me as well. Lizzie didn't wine, cry or bark. She took her shots like a champ.
Fantastic experience: Brought my pug, Sibby in Wednesday morning for an eye that got poked by one of my other pugs. She got great care.
Fantastic experience: We have been clients at this clinic for more than 20 years. The quality of care we receive for our dogs is top notch. The front desk staff are extremely helpful when we call or check in for appointment. Doctor Beachner has always guided us in the right direction when making decisions about our dogs' care. Our dogs have also seen Dr Chirpich. He too, provides great guidance. We highly recommend this clinic for pet care!
Fantastic experience: The staff, especially Dr. Godwin, take such good care of my dog, Lucky. They always answer all of my crazy, helicopter dog mom, questions.
Fantastic experience: Friendly. Efficient. Clean. Caring. Understanding if a cat won't allow the parent to keep an appointment.
Fantastic experience: The staff are down home compassionate & considerate. The vet techs are supportive and knowledgeable. The vet doctors are professional and sincere in their efforts to provide the very best care for their patients. I am very satisfied with every aspect of Raytown Gregory Animal Health Center. Update October 24, 2025. The entire staff show extraordinary compassion and consideration. They take the time to listen to pet owners, even when I ramble on and on. They address every concern and work with me to provide the best care possible for my dogs. Each one of these people are very important to me.
Fantastic experience: My friend really likes Dr Beecher so we went there to get Thunders shots. The assistant was awkward and and immediately put thunder in a mussel.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Godwin has treated my VERY anxious boy well.
Fantastic experience: Very professional nice the doctor know her business for our fur babies
Fantastic experience: they have always been great with my last and new animals. they are kind and gentle to animals and polite to the people that visit the clinic. always a great job.
Fantastic experience: We’ve seen two different doctors for our two cats and had such great experiences! Our older cat is on regular medicine and requires some follow up and this office is fantastic at communicating with us and getting what we need.
Fantastic experience: This is a great animal clinic. There are many clinics between my house and this location, but I go there because of the service. Dr. Chirpich is awesome!
Fantastic experience: It was a clean environment and my dog liked Dr. Frank which is very important to me. I liked her as well. I felt comfortable with her diagnoses.
Fantastic experience: We love Dr.Chirpich. He's taking care of our furbabies for atleast 2 decades!
Fantastic experience: They were excellent and really cared about pets
Fantastic experience: All of the staff are friendly and just awesome with my fur babies.
Fantastic experience: We had an emergency today with our cat went to our normal vet and they were closed so this place was 4mins away and they worked us in even though they were appointment only they were amazing worked with us with our budget and saved our cats life
Fantastic experience: It’s always a friendly atmosphere walking into this clinic. The front staff is SO nice, informative and they do show how much they care about you and your fur companion. The veterinarians and technicians are all so amazing too. They are fully engaged when listening to your concerns and make sure that you and your pet are taken care of. They will absolutely address any concerns you may have with comforting, yet knowledgeable explanations. My sweet Dutch Waffles (and I) absolutely loves coming into the clinic (shocking that a dog is excited to go to the vet!!) and loves all of the care and attention he receives. We will be staying with them for a LONG time.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Brancato is a great and very knowledgeable doctor. She listened to all my questions/ concerns and reassured me.
Negative experience: Raytown Gregory is the worst vet I’ve ever dealt with. My cat was dying and all they did was try to siphon as much money from me as they could without figuring out what was wrong with him. They insisted he have an echocardiogram and be put under for an X-ray. I visited Crysler Animal Hospital and they X-rayed him right away and discovered his cancer. Choose a vet who cares less about lining their pockets.
Fantastic experience: Great service, good doctor and very clean.
Fantastic experience: The staff are always so friendly and love the animals (family) that come through their doors. They are very informative and always have such a warm environment. I trust them for sure!
Fantastic experience: We saw Dr. Beachner for a second opinion on my dog. She and her staff were fantastic. Even though we didn’t get good news about our dog, Dr. Beachner was so kind, explained everything thoroughly, and answered all of our questions making us feel at ease and not rushed. If I could give a higher rating than a 5, I would.
Fantastic experience: Very good experience. I took my dog in for his vaccines. It was his first visit and he was nervous I was nervous because he was. They were very good with him and I was pleased with there patients and professionalism.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Chirpich is wonderfully compassionate and knowledgeable. Even with his busy schedule he makes sure your pet feels like a priority.
Fantastic experience: We've been going to Raytown Gregory since our pup was just a pup back in 2014, and won't be changing anytime soon!
Fantastic experience: Recently moved to Raytown. The staff and vets at Raytown Gregory Animal Health center listened about my cat’s medical history, carefully reviewed documents I had, and helped fond ways to make sure my cat was healthy and happy. I’ll definitely be going back!
Fantastic experience: I have been taking my pets to Raytown-Gregory Animal Health Center for 31 years. I would not take my furry family members anywhere else. Dr. Beachner is excellent! And the support staff is always friendly, helpful, and professional. 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: Professional, caring and compassionate staff! Front desk ladies are friendly and accommodating, vet techs are great with our pets and the veterinarians are wonderful at explaining options, pros and cons of various treatments, and test results! We drive 20 miles to get here! I wouldn't trust our pets to anyone else!
Fantastic experience: Tech's and doctor's are always fast efficient thorough . Sent my sister to them has three dogs
Fantastic experience: I have had nothing but good experiences at Raytown-Gregory Animal Health Center. I've been taking my senior cat here for several years to see Dr. Beachner. The staff are kind and attentive. They are extra gentle with my cranky old girl. When Deliah needed an urgent surgery Dr. Beachner found a way to adjust the schedule and squeeze her in. Thanks for all you do!
Fantastic experience: Raytown Gregory is the best vet service in Kansas City. Super, caring staff and the docs are great. We've taken our fur babies there for years and will keep that up as long as we have pets!
Fantastic experience: Love this place, everything was explained thoroughly during the exam. Very friendly staff made me feel welcome. Will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: My cat was very sick and could not move for almost 2 full days I brought her here and the people were great they got her back to normal the very next day it was affordable and my babies all better now!
Fantastic experience: DR. TIM CHIRPICH is the absolute best. He is so kind and i am truly so thankful to have him as my vet. I have gone to Dr. Tim for many years now and have always been happy with my experience. (I go every 6 weeks or so) My dog is my child and my whole world, so if you’re the same way, give my review a read. Dr. Tim has gone above and beyond for my dog. My dog got an infection and sadly had to be on an iv for a week and stay at the center overnight. My dog is much better now and was given the best care by Dr. Tim and his team. I can’t thank him enough. His staff came into the room and all were so happy to see my dog was better, gave him kisses and hugs. I can tell they all truly loved and cared for my dog and I couldn’t be more thankful. thank you Dr. Tim CHIRPICH and staff. I’ll always be thankful and grateful.
Fantastic experience: I have been very pleased with the care my pets have received at Raytown-Gregory. Dr. Lowrey is the best!

Fantastic experience: Dr Godwin provides wonderful care to my dogs. He offers great options and suggestions about caring for my two older dogs.
Fantastic experience: At Raytown Vet, my dog gets excellent care. When he really needs to see someone quickly, I'm able to get that appointment. Everyone is nice...from the front office to the vets to the techs. The prices are reasonable and I don't feel like unnecessary services are ever pushed on me. That has happened at other places. Raytown Gregory Animal Clinic was recommended to me and I have no problem recommending it to other pet owners.
Fantastic experience: I've been taking animals here for years and I love how great everyone is. My dog actually likes going and visiting!
Fantastic experience: Everyone that is super amazing and really care about both their patients and their owners. We could not be happier with the care they have provided both our cats and we recommend them highly.
Fantastic experience: We have taken many pets here over the years and have always received excellent care.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Raytown Gregory animal health before it was the building it is. It was a converted house. They are amazing with my kids and I have formed several friendships with some of them. Their prices are reasonable and always have what I need. I would recommend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Great Vets and staff. They've taken terrific care of my dogs for over 40 years.
Fantastic experience: The veterinarians and staff are great. I have been going there for many years. It's the only place I will take my animals. They are very thorough. My animals receive the best care. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Have always taken our animals to Raytown-Gregory Animal. Won't trust any other vets in the area. They truly care about your animals and not in it for just the money.
Fantastic experience: The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our senior dog felt at ease for his first visit. We are pleased that we found a new vet that took the time to make sure he felt comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Godwin is a wonderful vet. Very kind His assistant, Cindy, was very very helpful. She spent extra time with me explaining the medication’s.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so kind and the vet explained everything so well. I won't ever go anywhere else and will recommend this office to anyone with a pet.
Negative experience: I took my dog here had a full health check up and paid atleast 600 for that and shots the. My dog passed away I have called the office and unsubscribed to the emails and texts they are still ending me reminders for his "up coming appointments " or coupons for some bull ish I hope this can get there attention thanks for making me cry every time I open my email oh and not finding his giant stomach tumor I say don't go there they are corporate owned and don't give a flip about the animals just the profit
Fantastic experience: Great, caring place to take your fur babies to be cared for. Staff is pleasant and friendly. Doc’s take the time to listen to your concerns and explain everything going on with your fur baby very well!
Positive experience: Great place and atmosphere. Took my pup to get vaccinated, and for her checkup.
Fantastic experience: Raytown Gregory Vets are the best to me. They have taken care of my fur babies for over 15 years. Dr. Godwin has seen treated my cats with such compassion and he saw me through the loss of my first cat Eli. The staff are caring and awesome and I’m so happy to have them as my Vet. Thank you for everything.
Fantastic experience: I cannot begin to express how much I love the staff at Raytown-Gregory. I drive all the way from Midtown in Kansas City all the way to Raytown-Gregory, in order to receive the highest level of veterinary care and competence that I've received in this city since Dr. Dean Maxwell retired at Union Hill Animal Hospital. Dr. Chirpich, and quite honestly, every other veterinarian in that clinic are highly skilled, and truly care about your companion animal. I have been to other clinics in Kansas City, where I feel like their profit margins are more important than honest care. Raytown-Gregory will continue to be my revered animal clinic for the foreseeable future. Thank You, Raytown-Gregory, for being You.
Fantastic experience: They are definitely not inexpensive, but we have been using them for several years and they have always been just great with the fur babies.
Positive experience: Absolutely one of the best places to take my pets. My only concern is that a lot of symptoms or serious health concerns were just mixed with an ‘air of mystery’ and a full list of what my cats lump might be was never given. Just a hefty price tag.
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend this team more. Everyone is so attentive, calming, helpful, patient and caring. Knowledgeable staff, vets and easy to work with. I trust them with my fur children always. Thank you!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Update: another year later and still 5 stars! Just moved here and the vets we’ve worked with and their team is amazing and they added to extra rooms for the demand they have! Everyone was beyond friendly and educative!
Fantastic experience: Decided to get a second opinion on my cats teeth. The last vet stated they would need to pull a few teeth but couldn’t decide on a number. When I asked for an estimate with 4 teeth extracted I was ignored. Due to this unpleasant experience I decided to get a second opinion at Gregory animal hospital. The Vet performed the second exam and said they believe the teeth can be cleaned without needing extractions. Sadly my cat had two broken molars and they were pulled. However I appreciated them not immediately going the pull 3+ teeth route.
Fantastic experience: We've been going here for our Veterinary services for over 30 years and have been very pleased with their work. They are very caring and provide great care for our pets.
Fantastic experience: The staff and Dr. Lowry are knowledgeable, friendly and caring. Our dog Calli , now 16 yes, has been going since she was a pup. Everyone takes time to answer questions and explain procedures and options for her care. We were in for annual shots and exam, but had some other health questions about our aging companion and Dr. Lowry took time to examine and explain "normal" aging and things that required follow-up. It's comforting to rely on the Docs to care for our pet's health. We recommend them highly.
Fantastic experience: Dr Beechner is the best. All the staff are kind and helpful. Update. I just had a kitty pass and they were beyond compassionate. Thank you Lowry and all of the staff
Fantastic experience: The doctor was wonderful. Spoke to us so we were able to understand him and what was wrong with our dog.
Fantastic experience: Staff was very nice. Doctor took time to explain what was going on with my dog. Definitely recommend. Prices are reasonable
Fantastic experience: Everyone was very friendly and professional. They all seemed to genuinely care about the well being if my cats. They were forward and direct with out being rude. I'd recommend them to anyone with a fur baby.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at Raytown-Gregory Animal Hospital have been Amazing! Everyone is so kind and helpful! My dog and I felt very welcomed as new patients!
