Dr. Lindsay

I am a native of Colorado. In high school I was an avid athlete playing volleyball, basketball, and soccer. I, also, loved the piano and started playing at the age of five. For as long as I can remember I have aspired to be a veterinarian. My animal care career started in high school. I worked as a kennel “kid” at our family veterinarian. Even though my role was small, I learned firsthand the importance the client places on feeling confident and comfortable with their pet care provider.

I attended Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins studying Biology and Zoology. During college I worked at Lambspun of Colorado, a fiber arts gallery. While working there it was a necessity to acquire the skills of knitting, spinning, weaving, and crocheting, but I, also, learned and saw firsthand how important it is to manage a business. Those three years provided me the confidence and determination to become a veterinarian and a business owner. Upon graduation from CSU, I applied and was accepted at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. I graduated in May 2003 with a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and returned to Colorado. To enhance my entrepreneurial knowledge, I decided to continue school and graduated with a Master of Business Administration degree (MBA) from the University of Colorado at Denver.

What are those other letters behind my name? As you can tell I have a love of learning. Business was always something that intrigued me having two parents that were CPAs (Certified Public Accountants). So, I went further with my education to become a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM). Once I dove more into veterinary medicine, I found I have a love for nutrition. I started exploring Eastern Medicine and obtained my Certified Veterinary Food Therapist Certification (CVFT). The love of learning never dies, so I will continue to be the best veterinarian I can be.

My doctor career started soon after my return to Colorado as an emergency and critical care veterinarian on the overnight shifts for a large Castle Rock practice. Since I was the only veterinarian present at night, I learned a lot of practical experience quickly. I worked my way onto the day shift as a general practitioner. After five years of practicing medicine there, I advanced in my career by becoming part owner of a practice in Castle Pines. I was a general practitioner as well as the primary manager of the multi-doctor practice for the next six years.

I moved to Parker in August 2014 and love it. My new and final home is Veterinary Center of Parker.

The final tidbit about me is my family. I am married to my husband with a charming and beautiful teenage daughter. No doubt you will see her at the clinic volunteering her time, walking your fur babies and helping the clinic stay clean. My furry family members are Bucky (Boston Terrier) and Millie (English Bulldog).

I have a passion for photography, crafts, and nutrition. As I learn more about my own health needs, I transfer that knowledge to my patients. As I continue to learn and grow in the field of veterinary medicine. I have focused my energy into functional medicine for animals.

Dr. Amanda

You know that feeling when you have found your place in the world? That’s how I feel in veterinary medicine and in particular, at Veterinary Center of Parker, Inc. My main job as a veterinarian is to be a voice for your pet. I love answering all of your questions and helping to strengthen the bond you have with your furry friend. My dog Poe and my cat Lila are 100% part of my family. They sleep on the bed and demand attention all the time. Poe and I even have matching hoodies. So I fully understand wanting the best for our pets, and so much of that involves providing the best care we can. That spans from vaccines as puppies and kittens to deciding when it is time to say a peaceful goodbye. I want to be there with you every step of the way.

Animals were a huge part of my childhood growing up in Massachusetts and that childhood joy has not diminished. After getting my bachelor’s degree at Colorado College and my veterinary degree at the University of Minnesota, I moved back to Colorado and couldn’t be happier. The love of learning never dies, so I’m always reading and watching webinars to stay up to date. And I have a new found passion for backyard chickens! In my non-animal time, you can find me reading, knitting, hiking, or skiing. Please let me know if you have any book recommendations!

Dr. Carlos

Hello, I am Dr. Carlos! I was born in sunny San Juan, Puerto Rico and have always had a passion for helping animals in need. I started working with the local animal rescue organizations when I was in high school and this helped me realized that I wanted to become a veterinarian. I moved to Florida where I got my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a minor in Zoology from the University of Florida. Afterwards I moved to Alabama where I met my wife Alba and received my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree from Tuskegee University. Colorado’s outdoor and pet friendly lifestyle caught our attention and, after participating in a few externships in the Denver area, we decided Colorado was the place to be!!

We share our home with 2 Spanish Water Dogs named Zoe and Hugo, a Weimaraner named Zahra, 3 cats named Poe, Spy, and Alyah and 2 Sugar Gliders named Bindi and Lune. On our days off, we enjoy exploring Colorado with our dogs or you can find me at home playing the drums.
