Midtown Veterinary Medical Center: veterinary clinic for dogs and cats in Fort Collins

Midtown Veterinary Medical Center (MVMC) is a private, woman-owned veterinary clinic located in Fort Collins, Colorado. It exclusively treats dogs and cats, with a focus on preventive medicine, sick pet care, and urgent care during open hours. The team presents itself as a small, collaborative group working in recently renovated facilities.

The clinic defines itself by three principles: compassion, integrity, and competence. Its stated goal is to maintain the health and well-being of pets, fostering the bond between animals and their owners.

Wellness and preventive services

The clinic offers a preventive care program for dogs and cats that includes comprehensive annual exams and semi-annual exams for senior animals, vaccinations tailored to each pet's lifestyle, and laboratory screenings aimed at early disease detection. It also provides nail trimming, anal gland expression, microchipping, and parasite prevention.

Urgent care and sick pet care

During open hours, the center handles urgent and emergency cases. For this, it has digital imaging diagnostics (radiology and ultrasound) and an in-house laboratory that allows for rapid results. It has facilities to hospitalize and care for sick animals while open. If a patient requires overnight care, it is stabilized and referred to a local emergency hospital; the clinic does not offer overnight care.

Surgery, dentistry, and pain management

Services include surgery, dentistry, pain management, behavior management, nutritional counseling with prescription diets, and end-of-life care, including euthanasia. Before a procedure, the team performs a physical exam and pre-anesthetic tests; in some cases, such as older animals or those with pre-existing conditions, a screening electrocardiogram is added. During anesthesia and recovery, a veterinary technician continuously monitors the patient with equipment that measures electrocardiogram, blood pressure, oxygenation, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Animals are kept warm with a forced-air blanket and receive analgesic treatment before, during, and after surgery.

Advanced diagnostics and collaborating specialists

The clinic works with several mobile veterinary specialists who offer consultations and care at its facilities. These include board-certified specialists in radiology (ultrasound, echocardiogram), surgery, and internal medicine (consultations, endoscopy). These professionals collaborate with the center's veterinarians to provide advanced medical care and diagnostic testing without the patient having to travel. Diagnostic equipment includes digital X-rays, ultrasound, echocardiogram, and electrocardiogram.

Veterinary team

The medical team consists of three doctors with over 40 years of combined experience. Dr. Lisa McCarthy, founder, has been practicing as a veterinarian in Fort Collins for years. The clinic presents itself as a newly opened center for the local community. Technical and reception staff complete the care team.

Payment policies and prices

Payment is made in full at the time of service. Debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Care Credit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay are accepted. The website catalog listed the following fees: general exam $72, urgent exam $97, and emergency exam $160. For each visit, a personalized estimate is prepared based on treatment recommendations; estimates are not provided over the phone.

Frequently asked questions and visit policy

The clinic exclusively treats dogs and cats, although it also trims nails for guinea pigs. It does not treat exotic animals. For matters related to wildlife, it refers to Colorado Parks and Wildlife; for injured or orphaned wild animals, to Animal Control of NOCO Humane Society. Regarding the possibility of always seeing the same veterinarian and technician, the center tries to accommodate client preferences but cannot guarantee it due to scheduling conflicts, vacations, or emergencies; all team members are trained and communicate with each other. For safety, all pets are required to arrive on a leash or in a carrier and remain restrained in the reception area and during transfer to exam rooms.
