Our Story
We're proud of our deep commitment to pet owners and pets since the clinic opened in 1957!
1957 - Opened!
Initially opened in 1957, Hickman Mills Animal Hospital has continuously provided the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area with high quality and compassionate veterinary care for 60+ years. Built by Dr. L.W. Williams on what was then a two-lane road called Blue Ridge, we have experienced only two ownership changes in more than 5 decades of service.
2025 - Clinic Purchased by Dr. Ashton Sellers
35+ Years of Combined Veterinary Service
