life-changing work we do every day.

✨ Meet Kelly! ✨ Kelly is our Facilities Manager, and she loves being part of the neurology team because she gets to see patients regain function and comfort. She values working alongside a team that truly improves a patient’s quality of life every single day 💙🐾 While Kelly doesn’t currently have pets at home, she has a soft spot for great pet names like Fuzzy White, Peanut, and Floyd (we agree — top tier names). Outside of work, you’ll find Kelly hunting for antiques or tending to her garden 🌿 She loves the fresh start of spring, the crisp air of fall, and yes… she’s definitely a cat person. Fun fact: If she weren’t in veterinary medicine, Kelly would be a homicide detective 🔍 (We’re glad she chose neurology instead!) We’re so lucky to have Kelly keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes 💙🐾 #AnimalNeurologyCenter #TeamSpotlight #BehindTheScenes #VetLife #NeurologyTeam

🌟 Meet Rufus, the miracle pup who’s walking again just two weeks after surgery at The ANC! 🌟 Rufus’s mom, Judy, shared this incredible review with us: “Words alone can't begin to express how grateful I am to Dr. Wininger and his staff. Rufus, my 6-year old longhaired dachshund, lost the use of his back legs. My vet immediately called The Animal Neurology Center, and the very next day he went into surgery. I am so pleased to announce that just two weeks later, my Rufus is walking again. It's nothing less than a miracle. Dr. Wininger's expertise in the field of neurology and neurosurgery is a shining example of what a great, passionate doctor can do to improve the lives of SO many pets. I would highly recommend The Animal Neurology Center. How lucky I am to have this incredible top-notch Center so close to my home.” Here’s to Rufus, Rusty, and Andrew—three lucky rescue pups with hearts full of love! 💙 #anc #animalneurologycenter #veterinaryneurology #stldog
Rusty — Sweetest Chihuahua Every patient at ANC gets round-the-clock care, including through the night when our technicians provide the one-on-one attention that keeps recovery on track.
