We are pleased to partner with Dr. Lucas Moeder, Tallgrass Veterinary Imaging, and Mobile Pet Imaging to continue expanding our range of care for our patients. Everyone plays a critical role in your pet’s care and getting them back to their happy healthy self!
Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)
This advanced orthopedic procedure is considered one of the most effective surgeries to repair a torn cranial cruciate ligament in dogs. The surgery includes altering the angle between the femur and tibia to reduce the amount of tibia shift during the dog’s stride. By changing the angle, it creates a more normal configuration of the knee joint and reduces mechanical stress.
Dr. Lucas Moeder grew up in La Crosse, Kansas. After doing his undergraduate studies and veterinary school at Kansas State University, Dr. Lucas joined a mixed animal practice in Rose Hill, Kansas where he spent four years. During this time, he developed a skill and passion for orthopedic surgery. Dr. Lucas saw that many communities across the state of Kansas were without local options for orthopedic referrals and therefore made the decision to start offering mobile orthopedic procedures to practices all across the state of Kansas. Dr. Lucas and his wife, Kelly, now live in Hays, Kansas with their two children, Grace and Miles.
Tallgrass Veterinary Imaging
The board-certified veterinary radiologists at Tallgrass Veterinary Imaging interpret our x-rays and ultrasound imaging. This allows us to offer the highest standard of accuracy and diagnostic potential for any imaging performed at our practice.
Dr. Henrikson is a third-generation veterinarian from Emporia, KS and 1998 graduate of the Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

After moving back to Kansas in 2013, Dr. Henrikson founded Tallgrass Veterinary Imaging to provide radiology and diagnostic imaging consultation to veterinarians in Kansas and across the United States. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three kids, supporting KSU athletics, lake time, and golf.
Mobile Pet Imaging
Mobile Pet imaging provides echocardiograms and multi lead EKG for our clinic. Echocardiograms and EKG’s can provide us with valuable information on how the heart is functioning. An echocardiogram shows how blood moves through the chambers and values, while an EKG shows the electrical activity of the heart.
