Kingsbury Animal Hospital opened in 1978 in what had been a derelict gas station on Skinker Boulevard.
The first patient was a Doberman pup who got his ears cropped on an exam room table because the surgery room hadn’t been completed.
At that time the hospital’s personnel consisted of Dr. Stephen A. Brammeier, founder and proprietor, and one technician. Dr. Brammeier is a 1968 graduate of McCluer High School, and graduated from the University of Missouri Veterinary School in 1975.
He has been instrumental in the formation and management of the Animal Emergency Clinics, and is active in community affairs in the Central West End and DeBaliviere neighborhoods.
The practice at Kingsbury Animal Hospital is dedicated to providing individualized preventive and critical care medicine for dogs, cats, and other companion animals; and to supplying corollary services and supplies to their owners.
The hospital recently celebrated its tenth anniversary.
Since that first ear-crop facilities and staff have expanded to be able to meet more of its clients’ needs, including extensive preventive health care, dietary maintenance, diagnostic and treatment procedures, and surgical techniques.
The staff consists of Dr. Brammeier and his associate, Dr. Susan L. Brockmeier; Toby Newburger, office manager and veterinary technician; Diana Stahr and Vlasta Rysanek, veterinary technicians: Lisa Wells and Donna Hawkins, receptionists; and Rodney Williams, veterinary assistant. Dr. Brammeier’s mother, Shirley Brammeier, is the bookkeeper.
