Hello, I'm Dr. Flathers!
Tell us about yourself, Dr. Flathers.
I have co-owned the practice for probably about 18 years. And prior to coming here to Missouri, I worked in Minnesota. I actually graduated from the University of Minnesota long ago. I worked in Minnesota, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. And I'm happy to be here in Missouri with my husband's family, and I have two grown boys. I wanted to be a veterinarian since I was a kid, and this is just one of those things that worked out. I liked animals, and I really enjoyed the sciences, and they just kind of came together, and veterinary medicine was my thing.
What do you like to do in your off time?
I like to take photographs of my cat, and usually it's the same pose over and over again. They just look so cute, I just have to have one more picture.
What are some of your favorite things about working in veterinary care?
The variety. We have a variety of clients. We have a variety of personalities in the patients that we see. Lots of different illnesses and lots of healthy animals as well. So, it's exciting to see different things every day and doing our best to help the clients and their pets.
