Dr. Ron W. Bachman
Veterinarian
Dr. Ron W. Bachman was born and raised in Mulvane, KS. He graduated in 1986 from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Bachman met his wife, Sharon, at Kansas State. The Bachmans have 2 grown sons, both earned their degrees at K-State. The Bachmans owned and operated a successful small animal practice in Southern California for 22 years, where he gained a special interest in orthopedics, surgery, and dentistry. Since returning to Kansas and purchasing FMA Animal Hospital from Dr. Gunter Alberti in 2010, Dr. B has dedicated himself to providing medicine with an individual and personal touch. Dr. B brings his two furry friends to work with him everyday, a golden retriever named Kaepe and his newest family member Elliott the schnauzer.
Dr. Alex Bachman
Veterinarian
Veterinary medicine has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My dad, Dr. Ron Bachman has been a veterinarian his entire life, so I guess you could say I was born into the veterinary world. Growing up, I was also busy raising cattle, sheep, and pigs, so working with animals has always felt pretty natural to me.
What I enjoy most about being a veterinarian is helping pets and the people who love them. Getting to work with pet owners, care for their animals, and surround myself with like-minded, caring people makes this incredibly rewarding work. My favorite areas of veterinary medicine include ultrasound and imaging, surgery, and educating clients and the next generation of veterinary professionals.
When I’m not at the hospital, you can usually find me at home with my wife, Aimee, and our three kids—Declan, Liara, and Briar. Most of my free time is spent either corralling the kids, enjoying the kids, or occasionally wondering how there can possibly be this many kids in one house.
Our family also includes three dogs: Finn, our Lab/Great Dane mix; Livie, our Cavalier; and Elsie, our “crazy” Springer. Elsie keeps things interesting, to put it mildly.
One thing I wish more pet owners knew is that veterinary medicine can be much more stressful and mentally taxing than it may appear from the outside. Veterinary teams care deeply about what they do, and a little kindness and respect can go a very long way. Thankfully, it’s almost always repaid.
As for my hidden talents… I can consistently solve a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube, which I’m pretty sure qualifies as an important life skill. I’m also a good home chef and genuinely enjoy cooking. Unfortunately, my children have yet to fully appreciate my culinary talents, which is especially frustrating when they refuse to eat my gourmet creations. Their loss.
I feel very fortunate to get to spend my days doing something I love, working with great people, and helping pets live healthier, happier lives. And when the workday is over, I’m usually heading home to my favorite—and considerably louder—team: Aimee, Declan, Liara, Briar, Finn, Livie, and Elsie.
Dr. Jamie Wilson
Veterinarian
Hello, my name is Dr. Jamie Wilson. I earned my veterinary degree at the University of Georgia in 1993. I then went on to do an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the University of Minnesota. After completing my internship I practiced in Auburn, Alabama for 2 years and moved to KC in 1997. I have been practicing small animal medicine and surgery since that time. In the last 8 years prior to joining FMA, my practice consisted of filling in for various veterinary hospitals when veterinarians needed to be out of the office. That is how I came to know the wonderful doctors and staff at FMA. I became a regular member of the team in April 2017. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and loving many animals in my life including rabbits, cats, hamsters, turtles, mice and dogs. I used to enjoy riding horses, mostly in the hunter jumper arena. I have one son who is 18 and the joy of my life. When I’m not at work I enjoy live music, traveling, discovering new restaurants in KC and meeting the demands of my cat, Clyde!
Dr. Brittany Salisbury
Veterinarian
Dr. Salisbury’s passion for veterinary medicine began with caring for neighborhood pets and stray animals. She believes the best care comes from partnering with pet parents through open communication, trust, and shared decision-making.
Outside of work, she enjoys thrifting, photography, and playing pickleball. She shares her home with her adopted Golden mix and beloved adopted cat.

Audrey has loved animals for as long as she can remember, and becoming a veterinarian has been her dream for as long as she can remember, too! She is currently completing her prerequisite courses at MCC, with plans to apply to veterinary school once she’s finished. We love watching her chase her dreams and are excited to see where her veterinary journey takes her!
When she’s not working or hitting the books, Audrey enjoys spending time with her three cats and her dog, who are truly the lights of her life. Between her studies and her furry family, there’s never a shortage of animals in Audrey’s world!

Hanna's Bio
Hello, my name is Hanna. I am a Veterinary Technician here at FMA Animal Hospital. When I was younger I always dreamed of working with animals. I am living my dream right now at FMA. Working with such caring people who have the same love for animals is a blessing. Seeing patients recover from illnesses is always amazing, but seeing how happy the owners are to have their companion back is the best feeling. I have 2 dogs named Chico and Nova. I also have a cat named Skyy Baby. I couldn’t imagine my life without them.

Hey, I’m Jessica! My dog Gigi and I have been receptionists here at FMA since 2015. The people I work with and the pets I get to see every day make my job so worthwhile! When I’m not at work, I enjoy hanging out with my pack at home in Waldo. I also love spending time with family and friends, making art and music, and experiencing all that the Kansas City area has to offer.

Rachel's Bio
My name is Rachel. I have been working in the veterinary field since 2005. I have always had a passion to work with animals and have decided to turn that into a career. My favorite thing about working at FMA is the cherished relationships I develop with our patients and clients on a daily basis. I get a lot of satisfaction out of helping make a beloved pet feel better and then returning them to their family. To me, there is no greater fulfillment. In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies, listening to music, and spending time with my own furry family and toddler. I have a French Bulldog named Lanette, and 2 cats.

CSR Manager
Hi, I’m Kelly! I was born in Kansas and attended Wyandotte High School. I’ve been working in the veterinary field since 1999, and my love for animals started when I was just a little girl! 🐾
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing pets feel better and knowing I get to be part of the amazing team that helps make that happen. I love being able to support our clients and their furry family members throughout their veterinary journey!
When I’m not at FMA Animal Hospital, you can usually find me fishing, enjoying a lake trip, or spending quality time with my kids. My favorite color is green, and when it comes to food, Mexican is always a great choice! 💚🌮
I’m proud to be part of a team that cares so much about the pets and people in our community, and I look forward to helping make every visit to FMA a positive experience!

Bayli
Bayli's Bio
I’ve always loved animals and helping people, which makes working at FMA such a great fit for me. One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to know our patients and their families and building relationships with them over time. I also really value the community I’ve found with my co-workers and the relationships we’ve built as a team.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, playing soccer, and cooking. My fur baby is Brodie, a 7-year-old Staffy mix. I adopted him right when COVID started as an emotional support animal—but it turns out he ended up needing more emotional support than I did!
One thing I wish every pet parent knew is that vaccines are an important part of keeping pets healthy, even if they spend most of their time indoors. Preventive care is an important way we can help our pets live happy, healthy lives.
A fun fact about me is that I’ve lived in Paris twice and speak a little French! 🇫🇷 I love experiencing different cultures, and I’m always happy to share a little bit of my French with anyone who will listen.

Jenn's Bio
When I’m not at work, you can find me practicing martial arts, drawing, hitting the gym, or playing video games. Something you might be surprised to learn about me is that I train in martial arts every week! My ideal vacation would be escaping to a quiet, rural spot with my two cuddly pets for some much-needed quality time. 💜
I’m passionate about helping pets live healthier lives and would love to share more knowledge about everyday preventative care with pet owners. I also encourage everyone to keep up with regular grooming and make sure their pets are spayed or neutered!
A few fun facts about me: my favorite color is purple, my favorite food is fettuccine Alfredo, and my two pets are hands-down the cuddliest companions ever. I love being part of a team that helps animals feel their best, and I’m excited to keep learning and growing in veterinary medicine!
Lori
Lori's Bio
I’m a Kansas City, Missouri, native and a Ruskin High School graduate. I earned my Bachelor of Science from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri, and my MBA from the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas. Before making the leap into veterinary medicine, I spent 25 years managing practices in human healthcare. While I may be newer to the veterinary side of things, I’m definitely not new to loving animals. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home—or a life—without them!
When I’m off the clock, you’ll probably find me with my nose in a good book, listening to music from just about every genre imaginable, or settling in for a good binge-watching session. My dream vacation is to travel overseas someday and explore new places, experience different cultures, and make some unforgettable memories.
Family is a huge part of my world. I’ve been married for 35 years, have three adult children, and am a proud grandma to one adorable granddaughter. My furry sidekick is Prince Caspian, a handsome Nebelung cat I adopted in August 2025 from Prairie Paws Animal Shelter in Ottawa, Kansas. He’s living proof that sometimes the best things in life come with whiskers, paws, and an adoption story!
As Hospital Manager, I love helping our team do what they do best: provide excellent care while making pets and their people feel right at home. And if I happen to sneak in a little extra cuddle time with our patients along the way, well… I consider that a very important part of the job description!
I’m so happy to be part of the FMA Animal Hospital family, where caring for animals isn’t just what we do—it’s what we love! 🐾
Sky
Sky's Bio
When I’m not at FMA, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors, tending to my plants, playing video games, or hanging out with my daughter and my very full house of animals! My little zoo includes 5 dogs, 3 parrots, a tegu, 10 geckos, tarantulas, jumping spiders, isopods, 5 snakes, and even a colony of stray cats I feed. Basically, if it has fur, feathers, scales, or eight legs, I’m here for it! 😂 I also have my Class A CDL and previously worked in construction and as a CNA. Caring for animals and people has always been close to my heart.
One thing I want every pet parent to know is that we treat your pets like they’re our own at FMA Animal Hospital! I also encourage everyone to keep tempting objects and toxic foods, like grapes and onions, out of their pets’ reach.
My motto is to remember that life is beautiful and enjoy every precious moment. And if you ever need a pet sitter, I’m happy to help with just about any critter—my own little zoo has prepared me for almost anything! 🐍🐾

In Memory of Buddy - 2007-2021
Hello, my name is Buddy. I’ve been a patient at FMA since 2007. I work at FMA during the week making sure everyone is comfortable. You’ll often find me trying out the new bedding behind the front desk or demanding a treat from the delivery man. I also make sure everyone’s lunch is safe before they eat it and I never miss a staff meeting. In my spare time, I like to nap and stay close to my people. I am the goodest boy!
