Lisa McCarthy

DVM, MBA, Owner

Dr. Lisa McCarthy is a native of El Paso, Texas and a graduate of Texas A&M University, where she received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1989. She also earned a Masters of Business Administration from Colorado State University in 2005, making her a proud “double Aggie.” Over 30 years of practice Dr. McCarthy has provided small animal health care in both private and shelter settings and has served as managing Medical Director in many practices. Her favorite areas of practice are surgery, dentistry and preventative care. Honoring and supporting the special bond that clients have with their pets is the overreaching motivation for Dr. McCarthy’s practice life.

Dr. McCarthy has frequently travelled internationally to provide veterinary care to underserved communities. In 2014 she established a non-profit organization, Vet Treks Foundation, which provides veterinary services in rural areas of Kenya, as well as education and veterinary equipment to Kenyan veterinarians, enabling them to provide ongoing care in their communities.

Other passions pursued by Dr. McCarthy include travel and outdoor adventure. She has rowed the Grand Canyon, summited Kilimanjaro and many of Colorado’s “14er’s”, and she followed the route of Sir Ernest Shackleton to Antarctica.

Dr. McCarthy shares her home with two dogs (Talulah and Fenway) and two cats (Bean and Bumper), all rescued. The vacuum gets a lot of use!

Midtown Veterinary Medical Center is the culmination of 30 years of learning best practices and Dr. McCarthy’s dream come true. She is excited to be able to provide the very best in medical care for pets and service to their people.

Practice Manager

Jane presides over the front-of-house operations and marketing at Midtown Vet Med Center. Bringing a lifetime of experience in service industries with her, she always strives to ensure clients and patients are welcomed and comfortable, and well cared for in our hospital. Whenever people regale her with tales of how their beloved pets arrived in their lives and how they got their fabulous names and what their best tricks are, her day is made! Jane never met a dog she didn’t like.

Currently, Jane shares her home with a beautiful 75-pound German shedder lapdog, named Ada Woo, who is hell on a vacuum. When not swiffering up dog hair, Jane enjoys movie marathons, cooking up something in the kitchen to share with friends, and walking through the foothills. For over 10 years, she’s led an international book club with the Global Village Museum. She studied journalism at the University of Montana and then meandered through careers in human medicine, food service, fair trade retail, and back to veterinary medicine. Somehow all those experiences tie together to make MVMC a very happy fit.

Sophie

Technician

Sophie just recently moved to Fort Collins from Australia! She studied veterinary nursing in Belgium and went to Australia for a four-month internship. In Australia Sophie worked at a small animal veterinary clinic and saw her fair share of Australian wildlife in the clinic — kangaroos, opossums, and echidnas. However, seven years later her visa had run out so she decided it was time for a fresh start in the mountains of Colorado.

In her free time, Sophie loves to explore every outdoor activity Colorado has to offer, especially ones where her six-year-old golden retriever Chilly can come along with her.
