The Vets

Dr. Mac

Don Mac Kenzie, DVM

Our affable patriarch! Dr. Mac has been treating Flagstaff pets for over twenty years. He has a special interest in exotics, and a fondness for the shy pups that take a little extra time to befriend.

He earned his DVM from Washington State University in 2004, and is an Army Veteran. He shares his home with two pups: Rowena Maeve (a certified hippo) and Moose (an absolute dingus).

In his free time, he enjoys brewing beer, camping, and studying foreign languages (we're pretty sure he's fluent in Canine, but his Feline is a little rusty).

Dr. Holly

Holly Bellrichard, DVM

Dr. Holly joined our team as a full-time Associate Veterinarian in November 2021!

She graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2015 and spent several years working at a cat-specific clinic in St. Louis.

She shares her home with her husband, three young children, and a variety of pets - including her Chihuahua-mix, Cricket, and her rescue pup, Jawa.

In her free time, she enjoys hiking and visiting national parks.

Dr. Croft

Kalina Croft, DVM

Dr. Croft joined our team as a full-time Associate Veterinarian in June of 2025!

A Flagstaff local, Dr. Croft spent many years working as a Vet Tech here in town. Now that she has graduated from vet school, she's joining our team as our third Full-time Veterinarian!

She graduated from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 2025.

Her hands-on experience as a technician and a DVM gives her great insight into both sides of veterinary medicine.

The Front Desk

Courtney

Manager

Courtney has been with us since the very beginning, and we would be lost without her. She can cover any position, is adored by all, and has the patience of a saint!

Courtney shares her home with three cats - Freddie, Duey & Sammy.

Miss Jan

Receptionist

If you know her, you love her. Miss Jan has been in the field since the early '90s, and is a bit of a celebrity among our clients.

She's a great-grandmother, in every sense of the word, and she shares her home with four cats - Doc, Marty, Tobias and Magi.

Heather

Heather was with Midtown from 2021-2023 and then returned in 2024! She has many years of experience as a veterinary receptionist, and we're thrilled to have her back on the team!

Martina

Technician

Martina joined the team in the Fall of 2021, and has an Associates degree in Veterinary Technology. She is an absolute joy to work with, and one of the funniest people. She is our resident Heeler Wrangler, as well as our Resident BTS Fan.

When she's not at the clinic, she's busy running the family ranch and spending time with her very special cat, Toast, and her many ranch dogs (including our favorite, Cash!).

Chyan

Technician

Chyan joined our team in early June of '22, and is currently studying Psychology. She is incredibly dedicated to her patients and is always eager to learn something new.

Chyan shares her home with two pups, Whiskey & Sprocket.

Valeria

Valeria shares her home with her cat Yuuki, and two pups, Lexa and Rin!

Matt

Matt joined our team in the Summer of '23 as a Technician! He is our resident "cat guy," and he has a special fondness for the little dogs... especially Dachshund puppies!

Kathleen

Kathleen shares her home with two cats - Barbossa and Jack Sparrow.

Bird

Assistant

Bird joined our team in May of 2025 as an assistant eager to learn more about veterinary medicine!

"Management"

Clyde

Assistant to the Managers

Clyde came to us as a street cat who wasn't in the best of health. But now he's living the sweet life here at the clinic!

You can often find him at the front desk, napping his day away or asking for treats. When he's feeling fiesty, he can get a little mouthy - but don't worry, he's totally toothless!

Andy

Assistant to Clyde

Andy arrived as an abandoned kitten after his litter was dumped roadside. Due to head trauma from his ordeal, Kathleen provided intensive care until he was ready to become our full-time clinic resident.

Despite his rough start, Andy hit all his developmental milestones and now thrives as our resident troublemaker, keeping Clyde and the staff on their toes.

Sam

Owner & Manager

Samantha started as a kennel technician a million years ago (or 2010, if you want to get specific). She has held every position within the clinic except DVM, and with that brings a unique perspective to her role as Owner/Manager.

She is an NAU graduate, a member of the VHMA, AAFP-certified, and a soon-to-be CVPM (Certified Veterinary Practice Manager)!

Sam shares her home with a Pitty-mix that goes by Mattie (short for Matilda), her cat Iggy of 16 years, and a Pyrenees/Malamute named Dash.

Jake

Owner & Manager

As co-founder of Midtown with over a decade of experience, Jake served as head technician for the first four years while managing our marketing and social media.

In 2024, Jake and Sam expanded to launch Midtown Media, where Jake now helps local businesses create content, passing the torch and many of his responsibilities to Jayden.

Jake lives with his Pyrenees/Malamute Dash, Pit mix Mattie, and cat Iggy
