Dr. Mara Reynolds attended the University of Missouri for her undergraduate degree in Animal Science as a Pre-Vet scholar. She also attended the University of Missouri earning her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, graduating in 2019. D. Reynolds moved to Overland Park when she was a child and considers it her hometown, but has also lived in California, Arizona, and Missouri. She grew up riding and showing horses in the hunter/jumper ring consistently has been surrounded by animals/pets. Her childhood dog, Jet, was her best friend throughout middle and high school. “Jet was a huge inspiration to me and inspired my desire to help people and their pets.

Before becoming a veterinarian, Dr. Reynolds volunteered during high school at Wayside Waifs and Chain of Hope, both rescues facilities in the Kansas City area. In undergrad, she worked at the Central Missouri Humane Society as well. “I always knew I wanted to combine my passion for science and animals and be a vet.”

Dr. Reynolds is a member of the Kansas City Veterinary Medical Association, the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and is Fear Free Certified. She enjoys internal medicine, dentistry, nutrition, behavior, and routine surgery.

“Forming lasting relationships with clients and their pets to better understand their needs and provide the highest quality medicine/care possible has been my goal as a doctor. Educating owners to be able to make the best decisions for their pets and their families has been the most satisfying part of becoming a veterinarian. ”

When Dr. Reynolds is not working she enjoys hot yoga, hiking, walking with her dog Ivy, spending time with friends, and exploring local breweries and craft beers. Ivy is a three-legged mix breed (mutt) that she adopted after her first year of veterinary school.
