Veterinarian/Owner

Dr. Barchman, an Iowa native, is a 2006 graduate of Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  After receiving her DVM degree, she completed a rotating internship in Greensboro, NC.  After working in various different states, she found the place she called home right here in Leawood, KS.

As a previous member of the American Diabetes Association Leadership Board, an organization near and dear to Dr. Barchman’s heart, she strives to help find a cure for this dreadful disease.  It was after losing our beloved Dr. Cheri Jones, who passed away from secondary complications of diabetes, that she discovered her passion to reach for the cure. Dr. Barchman works directly with Likarda in doing studies to treat and hopefully one day, bring a cure for this disease.  For more information on Likarda, visit their website at www. http://likarda.com

Dr. Sally is a former member in the Leawood Rotary Club and also active in her church family, Grace Church in Overland Park, KS.

Dr. Kimberly Hunt

Animal Chiropractic and Rehab

Dr. Hunt graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic College in 2001.  After graduation, she started a holistic health clinic in Leawood, KS, where she specialized in treating chronic muscle and joint issues.  Eventually her love of animals lead her to explore the budding field of animal chiropractic and, in 2012, Dr. Hunt graduated from Options for Animals.  Shortly thereafter, she was certified as an animal chiropractor by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association.

In 2013, Dr. Hunt joined our staff here at State Line Animal Hospital, where she continues to combine her interest in holistic medicine with her love for animals. Her typical patients are dogs and cats, but she does treat the occasional horse, rabbit and chicken. She treats a variety of conditions including back pain, neck pain, lameness, pinched nerve, herniated disc, soft tissue injury, hip dysplasia, spinal cord injury, collapsed trachea, urinary incontinence, digestive disturbances, seizures and many more. 

A visit to Dr. Hunt is very unique because she combines chiropractic joint manipulation, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, passive range of motion, spinal traction and rehab exercises all into the same treatment. This is a very thorough technique which gets results in fewer treatments and holds longer than a traditional chiropractic adjustment.

When not at the clinic, Dr. Hunt can be found on her acreage in the country where she does some small scale dog boarding and fostering.  She is also an exam proctor for IVCA.  In her free time, she enjoys playing competitive tennis, dinner parties with friends and family, and working on her homestead alongside her family of farm dogs, barn cats, chickens, ducks and guinea fowl.   

 

Liz

Licensed Massage Therapist

Liz has a BS in Education and an MA in Dance and has been a practicing licensed massage therapist since 1997 when she received her massage training from Mueller College in San Diego, California.

In 2011, Liz expanded her repertoire to include animals, as they innately exude unconditional love, the core element of healing. Because they have no filters, their feedback is informative and useful in developing a stronger practice for both people and animals. Plus, there are benefits of unadulterated appreciation. She received her certification and began an internship here at State Line Animal Hospital, where she continues to practice animal massage. Her clients include dogs and cats.

Massage was not Liz’s first step on her career path. Her first love was movement and dance, as a choreographer, dancer and teacher. After 20 years in dance, she combined her arts with the healing arts. In addition to both the arts and healing arts, Liz loves nature, cooking and great conversations.
