I am Dr. Jared Steck, a 2017 graduate from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. Before applying to veterinary school, I attended Truman State University in Kirksville, MO, where I graduated with a degree in chemistry. After veterinary school I practiced in Drexel, Mo for two years as a mixed animal veterinarian and then in North Carolina doing emergency and relief work. My professional interests include small animal preventative medicine, surgery, and working with the occasional farm animal. During my free time I enjoy spending time outside, gardening, and working on my family’s farm in central Missouri. I am looking forward to exploring the greater St. Louis area and serving the Homestead Veterinary Hospital clientele as a companion animal veterinarian.
