After a surgical residency, Dr. Kimberlin chose to stay in St. Louis and to continue to cultivate his veterinary community relationships.

After 10 plus years, he began a new chapter in his career, and joined a mobile surgeon in the St. Louis area. Here, he found a love for working in local veterinary hospitals performing orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries while working hand in hand with the referring veterinarians.
Dr. Kimberlin is now branching out on his own to begin Integrity Animal Surgery. He is excited to open his own mobile surgery practice as the only St. Louis board certified home grown surgeon. His new mobile surgery practice will bring integrity and compassion for the animal, clients, and veterinary hospitals and their staff. Integrity Animal Surgery will provide superior care to animals and veterinary practices in the St.Louis and surrounding areas. He knows how important pets are and he will bring this approach to the mobile community with Integrity Animal Surgery.
