Meet the Owners: We look forward to welcoming you and your pets.

In fact, when you come in, you'll see exactly why our veterinarians are praised for their kind and thorough care. We'll give you and your pet all the time you need, and never rush through an exam. We'll also carefully track the course of your pet's care, which is so important to your pet's long-term health. In every case, you'll be served by experienced, knowledgeable members of our staff. Our veterinarians, veterinary technicians and other pet-friendly personnel are trained to the highest standards. Their knowledge of the latest veterinary medicines and procedures ensures that all our pet patients get the best in prevention and healing methods.

History: Our friendly, professional staff is made up of dedicated individuals who have made it their mission to help pets live long, healthy lives. To be true to this mission the hospital team relies on several individuals, where each team member is equally important in helping us deliver the best patient and client experience for both you and your pet. And if things get very complicated, we are fortunate to have access to the nation's largest network of VCA veterinarians and board certified specialists. In a word: Teamwork! Teamwork is a constant in our daily practice. From the very first person you speak to to the person who checks you and your pet out, our team of pet lovers works cohesively to create a warm and welcoming experience for both you and your pet.

Specialties: We provide veterinary services for every stage in your pet's life, from her first shots to a lifetime of preventive care to keep her happy and healthy. Our services don't end at our hospital doors.

Curtis L. Bock

Medical Director
Veterinary School: Kansas State University

Dr. Bock was raised on a farm in the Flint Hills, near Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. When he discovered that his round house curveball was not a ticket to the major leagues, he set his sights on a career in veterinary medicine. He graduated from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1974. After a year in mixed practice in Chillicothe, MO, he arrived at Welborn Animal Hospital, where he has practiced small animal medicine and surgery since. During the period of 1976 to 1990, he shared his small animal duties with a livestock market practice at the Kansas City Stockyards. Soft tissue surgery and internal medicine are what he enjoys most about practice.

He and his wife have two grown children and two grandchildren. They share their home with two beautiful, but lazy, golden retrievers. He also likes to travel, read, study history, and follow K-State athletics.
