About Aurora Animal Clinic

Dr. Jones graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 2019 and quickly found a home at Aurora Animal Clinic as a mixed animal practitioner. In 2024, he took the opportunity to purchase the clinic, where he remains committed to upholding the values established by his predecessor while continually enhancing the quality of care offered.

Respected among cattle producers throughout Southwest Missouri, Dr. Jones is deeply involved in the livestock community and manages his own beef herd. Outside of veterinary medicine, he enjoys cheering on Oklahoma State football (Go Pokes!) and spending time with his wife, Megan, and their daughter, Hadley.

Dr. Bader has been a cornerstone of the Aurora community for more than 30 years. A 1987 graduate of the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine, he has dedicated his career to serving both small and large animals with compassion and expertise. 

While he enjoys all areas of veterinary medicine, Dr. Bader has a particular passion for working with equine patients and is well known for his calm, confident approach when handling horses. His longstanding commitment to his clients and their animals has earned him a trusted reputation throughout the region. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Bader enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren.
