Veterinarians

Dr. Scott Read	I grew up in St. Joseph, MO and attended Savannah High School. I graduated from Missouri Western State University in 1997 with a biology major and minor in chemistry. I worked at a veterinary clinic in St. Joseph since I was 16 years old. I graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. I then went back to work at the same clinic for five years before starting at Eagle in August 2006. I am married and have two sons and a daughter. We have four dogs and two cats. I enjoy spending time with my family and attending school events.
Dr. Matthew Silvius	I was raised in Lathrop, Mo which is just north of Kansas City. I started working in the field of veterinary medicine as a kennel assistant at Eagle Animal Hospital while attending Missouri Western University. Once I obtained my undergraduate degree in Biology, I began pursuing my goal to be a veterinarian. I graduated from the University Of Missouri, College Of Veterinary Medicine. While in veterinary school, I met my beautiful fiancé. We were married in May 2007. She is also a veterinarian. At the moment we have 1 cat named Jade. In my free time I enjoy the outdoors, skiing, and fishing. I am also a fanatic fan of Mizzou and Kansas City sports.
Dr. James Sparks	I was born and raised in the Northland, and graduated from Park Hill High School. I joined Eagle Animal Hospital at the age of 15, and continued as a member of the support staff until going away to college. The University of Missouri became “home” until I graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1990. I have practiced at Eagle since graduation and now enjoy the ownership role. My wife, Beth, and I are very proud parents of our 3 children, Patrick, Sean, and Cara.My hobbies include golf and fishing, but most of my time away from the office is dedicated to enjoying my family which includes our pets.
