Dr. Berger takes the time to provide excellent care to you and your pets. Very patient. Explains everything to our satisfaction. Has cared for our dogs and horses.

Called about blood in my dogs stool and they couldn't have cared less. Told me they just couldn't see him because he isn't a client. They don't actually care about animals, just clients money.

Dr Berger is a top quality veterinarian. I live in an area with several farm vets and wouldn’t change a thing. Dr Berger has built a reputation that if you want to save your pet, he’s the guy. I am not speaking less of the others. There is a reason pulling a calf can’t equal canine hip replacement. One is business, and one is emotion. Dr Berger is Rolla’s Barnes for Canines. If you don’t know what I’m trying to say, it’s a compliment for Dr Berger. I would trust him completely and if he tells you it won’t help, he is just telling you what the best of the best will tell you. He is a gift to our community.

Dr Berger is a fine Vet. But his office staff are not friendly or competent. Have had two occasions of them messing up appointments.

UPDATE- still using Dr Berger and Animal Health Center and could not be happier. My husband and I own MidMissouri Malamute Rescue and we have numerous dogs coming through Animal Health Center and all have received amazing care. I am not the easiest person to deal with as all the puppies, whether ours personally or the Rescues, mean a lot to me and I expect a lot from Dr Berger and can honestly say he has yet to disappoint! I first went to see Dr. Berger numerous years ago when my Alaskan Malamute, Decator, all of a sudden could not move his back end. I found out Decator had been misdiagnosed with tick bite paralysis by a different Veterinarian and he actually had a disk in his back out. Dr. Berger was willing to try everything possible before finally saying Decator would have to undergo surgery or be put down. Putting my precious boy down was NOT an option! After undergoing the surgery, Dr. Berger continued to see Decator for all of his follow ups (even ALWAYS seeing him in the waiting room, or even on occasion, outside - as Decator would not go back in the patient rooms). I would have never trusted Decators care to anyone else - my whole world revolved around that boy (yes i'm speaking in past tense as I have since lost my boy and have found myself with a broken heart that will never heal!), he deserved and got nothing but the best! I have since homed several rescue dogs thanks to the amazing references received from Dr. Berger and his staff (Thank you all so much for that!) - Including a Chocolate Lab (ShyAnn), Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix (Keeper), Siberian Husky (Wylie) and another precious Alaskan Malamute (Krimson), whom have all received the same amazing care from Dr. Berger that Decator had. I am even considering starting a Malamute Rescue, as Missouri does not currently have one, and I have no doubts they would be well taken care of by Dr. Berger and his staff. I also have numerous cats/goats/cows. etc, that have all been seen by Dr. Berger! Anytime I call he is more than willing to come out to my home to see them if need be or get them right in at the office (unlike other veterinarian offices whom make you schedule appointments weeks out for emergencies) - I have even just showed up at the office numerous times with issues and have had no problem having my babies seen. My cat, Mallie, had continuous urinary blockage issues and I spent thousands with another veterinarian trying to correct this issue - one visit with Dr. Berger and he was good to go with no flare ups for several years now!! Dr. Berger is up front and honest about issues but also understands your pets are family to you and does not give up on them! I could go on and on in regards to all the amazing treatment my fur babies have received from Dr. Berger and how wonderful his staff is, but that would take days.....so all that really needs to be said is...if I would trust him with the lives of MY precious babies...then you can undoubtedly trust him with the lives of yours!
