Dr. Jane Jeffries, practice owner since 1992, has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1989. Dr. Jane is a graduate of Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Jane loves her Noah’s Ark clients and the Brookside community.

“ Brookside is so much like a small town. I’ve grown to know my clients well over the years and I deeply appreciate the confidence they have bestowed upon me as well as in Noah’s Ark Animal Clinic. I am truly committed to providing their beloved pets with the excellent care they deserve.” Dr. Jane has several furry family members at home including Steve and Marilyn, her Labradors, her tabby cat, Joy, and Cody, a quarter horse.

Dr. Kris Neuhauser is a 2004 graduate of the University of Missouri's College of Veterinary Medicine. After growing up in Kansas City, she spent the next 10 years in other parts of Missouri for school and work, but she is glad to be back home now.  She has always enjoyed the Brookside area and is happy to be a new member of the community.

"Noah's Ark has the special combination of caring, knowledge, and eagerness to learn that makes it a very exciting and rewarding place to work.  I'm enjoying getting to know the patients and clients that are so dedicated to this clinic."

Dr. Kris and her husband, Eric, live with their three cats, Abby, Clif, and Leroy, numerous fish and a newt.  Outside of work, Kris enjoys road biking, jogging, reading, and finding new restaurants to enjoy.

Dr. Sarah Burkindine graduated in 2002 from Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. After completing an internship in small animal internal medicine and surgery in a large specialty practice in Atlanta, Georgia, she moved back home to Kansas City. She has spent the last five years practicing in southern Johnson County. With special interest in difficult cases, surgery and ophthalmology, she hopes to continue her dedication and service to the patients and clients of Noah's Ark Animal Clinic. “I treat all of my patients and their human families as I would want to be treated myself. I strive to strengthen the human-animal bond with all that I do. I look forward to becoming a part of the Noah’s Ark family!”

Dr. Burkindine lives in Prairie Village with her Keeshound mix, Gabby, and her ragdoll cat, Shadow.
