Meet Our Veterinarian

Rick Kesler D.V.M. is a 1985 graduate of Iowa State University school of Veterinary Medicine.  After graduation, Dr. Kesler’s experience included all animal species.  He soon realized that companion animal medicine was his true calling and therefore he concentrated on the practice of small animal and equine medicine and surgery.  He has spent much of his career as a practice owner and has employed veterinary associates and veterinary technicians throughout his veterinary office ownership.  His professional experience also includes a wide variety of surgical cases including orthopedic, gastrointestinal, and soft tissue surgery.  He has practiced alongside AVMA Board Certified veterinary surgeons, ophthalmologists, dermatologists, and internists.  Additionally he has worked in two metropolitan-based emergency clinics which allowed him the experience of a wide range of veterinary cases. 

Dr. Kesler is licensed to practice Veterinary Medicine in 11 states and currently is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association.  He is Lambert Vet Supply’s consulting veterinarian where his duties include staff training, product advertisement, consultations with all members of the pet industry, public speaking at local and state association meetings, teleconferences, and writing informational articles for animal-related magazines.  He is also a Staff Veterinarian for Main Street Animal Clinic.
