✨ Meet Ashley! ✨

Ashley is one of our dedicated Veterinary Technicians, and she's passionate about neurology because of the challenge and rewarding moments—especially when helping animals walk again.

When she’s not at work, Ashley enjoys spending quality time with her daughter and her two adorable dogs:
🐶 Effie (the sweet one)
🐶 Edgar (the playful companion)
They love to be together as a family, making memories that last a lifetime.

Fun fact: Ashley loves dancing (even if she’s not the best!) and would’ve pursued a career as a baker if not in veterinary medicine! 🍰

We’re so lucky to have Ashley on our team

Meet Mia Joy

Mia Joy, a 1.5-year-old Dachshund, came to us after a car accident left her paralyzed in her hind limbs. With her owner recovering from injuries, our team at The Animal Neurology Center stepped in to provide innovative, compassionate care.

Instead of traditional surgery, we created a custom 3D-printed spinal splint to stabilize her spine and prevent further movement. This cutting-edge technology allowed Mia to heal safely while giving her the best chance for recovery.

Several weeks later, Mia was walking again! Her journey is a powerful reminder of the role technology and personalized care play in saving lives.

Watch Mia’s full recovery story and see how innovation and compassion made all the difference.

We believe that great care starts with a calm, happy pet. That’s why our exam rooms are spacious, soft, and completely pet-centered. There are no intimidating exam tables or harsh surfaces. Instead, your pet will find orthopedic beds from Big Barker, fun toys from Jolly Pets, and slip-resistant rubber floors for comfort and safety. Our rooms feel more like playrooms than clinical spaces, because they should. For especially nervous pets or sensitive conversations, we also offer an outdoor exam area designed for privacy and peace.

It was such a pleasure to spend time with the MVMA community at this past weekend’s Annual Convention. Between my lectures and our exhibit hall booth for The Animal Neurology Center , our team loved the opportunity to connect with so many of our Missouri colleagues.

Congratulations to Dr. John Dodam, 2026 MVMA Veterinarian of the Year, and Dr. Abby Whiting, recipient of the Richard D. Antweiler Servant Leadership Award — both incredibly well-deserved recognitions for leaders who make a real impact on our profession.

✨ Meet Megan! ✨

Megan is our amazing Client Service Representative, and she loves being part of the neurology team—especially because she gets to help pets feel better with the latest in CT and MRI technology.

When she’s not at work, you can find Megan hanging out with her two golden retrievers:
🐶 Comet (the adventure buddy)
🐶 Nova (the playful spirit)
They love their frozen peanut butter kongs and running around at their lake property! 🏞️

Fun fact: Megan is a huge STL Blues fan and loves to cook and bake. If she weren’t in vet med, she’d be baking delicious treats as a career! 🍰

We’re so lucky to have Megan on our team 💙🐾

✨ Meet Alex! ✨

Alex is one of our incredible Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) and a proud neurology team member—mainly because she gets to see all the Frenchies (honestly, same).

When she’s not helping care for our patients, Alex goes home to a full house of pups:
🐶 Bucklee (10-year-old pug)
🐶 Marlin (8-year-old Frenchie)
🐶 Penelope (2-year-old fluffy Frenchie)
🐶 Sig (4-year-old pitbull and hiking buddy — the Frenchies stay home 😂)

Outside of work, you’ll find Alex baking sweet treats, playing piano, binge-watching The Office, listening to Taylor Swift, and very intentionally avoiding scary movies, pickles, and anyone who doesn’t like dogs.

Fun fact: If she weren’t in vet med, she’d probably be a hairstylist ✂️
Favorite pet celeb? Doug the Pug (of course).
We’re so lucky to have Alex on our team 💙🐾

"Lifelong learner” gets a lot of lip service in our field. Today, I saw the epitome of it—in the flesh.
Dr. Dietrich Steinberg is a local primary care veterinarian I’ve worked with for over a decade. Retirement clearly doesn’t suit him; he still practices two-plus days a week. Today, he spent the day at the ANC, fully immersed—seeing cases together, participating in MRI and surgery, and talking through what the future of veterinary medicine may look like in the age of AI.
It was an absolute pleasure. As he was leaving, Dr. Steinberg smiled and said, “Thanks for my great day at Disney World.”
Today, we truly lived our core values: Commitment to Growth, Education at Every Level, and Pride in Our Place. ANC vision realized!
I hope you’ll follow Dietrich’s footsteps—always remain a student, and take advantage of the opportunities we have to learn from one another, including our shared shadowing experiences at the ANC.
