    A career long northland veterinarian, Dr. Wilkerson started at Eagle Animal Hospital in Riverside, MO. After nine years there, she had a brief tenure at Amity Woods and in 2003 helped to establish Shoal Creek Animal Hospital. In 2007 she rejoined her high school mentor, Dr. Howard at Crossroads Animal Hospital. “It has been an amazing fit and I am where I am supposed to be,” says Wilkerson. Dr. Wilkerson went on to purchase Crossroads Animal Hospital from Dr. Howard in 2021.

    Dr. Wilkerson married her high school sweetheart, Neil Wilkerson in 1990. They have two children, Nathan and Josie. The Wilkerson’s share their home with two cardigan corgis and have the honor of keeping their grand dog, an energetic lab while their son is serving in the U.S. Army.

    In her spare time Dr. Wilkerson enjoys out door activities like kayaking and biking. She also assists her husband with his business, Dubious Claims Brewing Company in Excelsior Springs.

    Receptionist
    Originally from Cameron, MO, my husband and I made Liberty our home (along with our two cats, Linus and Lazlo, and two Pembroke corgis, Watson and Mori) in 2019 and have loved it ever since! I stumbled onto a job posting for Crossroads in September 2022 and little did I know it would be the perfect fit. When I'm not in the office, I spend my time working my Mary Kay business and taking in the latest in true crime podcasts/documentaries.

  • Johnny

    Professional Biscuit Maker
    Johnny joined our team in 2019 after staff found him outside our door in a carrier wet from the rain. :( He has called the Crossroads office his home ever since! He loves "helping" with office work at the front desk, watching out the front doors, and his daily treats. He does not enjoy dogs and loud animals, so you can often find him napping in his special hiding places in the basement or sunbathing in the doctors' office.
