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. She shares her home with two rescues, Zoe and Cheech, and a newly rescued tripod orange tabby, Duey Schmitten.
​​
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/Head Receptionist
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
Receptionist
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 Technicians
Jayden
Manager/Head Technician
Jayden has been with us since the beginning! He started as an Assistant and has worked his way up to Manager / 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."
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.
Bird
Assistant
Bird joined our team in May of 2025 as an assistant, and she's flying through Technician training! She is often oblivious to Dr. Mac's sarcasm, and she wears her heart on her sleeve... two things we love her for!
​
She shares her home with two cats, Aditi and Kalika, and her Malinois-mix, Malu.
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).
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!
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!).
Kathleen
Assistant
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 rescuing cats, and she's the reason we're stuck with Andy. ;)
​
Kathleen shares her home with two cats - Barbossa and Jack Sparrow.
"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)!​
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
In Memoriam
Matt
Our Favorite Technician
Matt joined the Midtown team in 2023, and had an incredible impact on those who were lucky enough to know and love him - both two-legged and four.
​
He lost his life at the end of 2025, in a tragic car accident. We will not be the same without him, and we will never forget him.

Chiquita Banana
Clyde's Real Boss
Chica came to live at our office in 2021, and she ran the show until August of 2024, when she lost her battle with kidney disease at the age of 25-years-old. (Yes, 25!)
​
She was sassy, smart, and didn't tolerate anybody's nonsense. We think about her every day.
