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 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!
​
She shares her home with several cats, as well as her pack of dogs: Atlas, Feneas, Kaos and Khloe!
The Support Staff
Jayden
Head Technician
Jayden has been with us since the beginning! He started as an Assistant and has worked his way up to Head Technician. He's also our resident Mr. Fix-It.
​
Jayden shares his home with a rescue mutt named Atreus, and a black cat, "He Who Must Not Be Named."
Brynn
Technician
Brynn joined our team in the Fall of '21 and quickly worked her way up to Technician and Inventory Guru! She's always the first to offer help to the team, and we love her for it!
​
Brynn shares her home with two Cocker Spaniels (Alaska and Kikimora), and three cats (Khajiit, Lesovik, and Kludde).
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.
Matt
Technician
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!
​
He shares his home with two rambunctious Dachshunds, Gaz & Willa, as well as several cats, including Anakin and Garry!
Valeria
Technician
Valeria joined our team in the Summer of '22, and is attending school for Veterinary Technology. She has a lot of management experience, and she is always ready to take on more challenges throughout her training.
​
Valeria shares her home with her cat Yuuki, and two pups, Lexa and Rin!
Kathleen

Kathleen joined our team in the summer of 2024, and she has a wealth of experience in reading animal behavior and practicing a Fear Free approach. She has a special interest in cats, and is considering going to school for Veterinary Technology.
​
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
