Born and raised in Overland Park, Kansas, Scott received his undergraduate degree from Colgate University and his DVM from the Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine. Post-graduation Scott interned and worked in Washington D.C. before relocating to Aspen where he practiced at Aspen Animal Hospital before eventually becoming the clinic’s owner. He also saw a need for additional care and opened the Valley Emergency Pet Care Center which has transformed into a 24/7 facility that brings specialists in ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, cardiology, internal medicine, radiology and neurology to the Roaring Fork Valley. After 23 years he sold his practice and, luckily for the pets of Moab, he has brought his extensive expertise and desire to provide quality care to the area.
Aside from running a successful veterinary hospital, Scott also sits on the board of the Aspen Animal Shelter. Additionally he has been the attending veterinarian for numerous Iditarod Races in Alaska. When not working, Scott avidly bikes, skis and telemarks, downhill skis, and hikes. He is the proud father of two children and he and his wife Patsy provide a loving home for two rescue dogs.

Katie has had a life-long love of animals. Instead of bringing home every stray she found, she decided to pursue a career where she could put her passion to work. She brings professionalism, compassion and excellent care to her job as a vet technician.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, she moved to Colorado to attend Colorado Mountain College. She graduated in 2005 with an Associates of Animal Science and begun work at Aspen Animal Hospital before joining the team at Mill Creek Vet Clinic.
During her free time she enjoys hiking with her three rescue dogs Satchel, Crosby and Winnie, spending time on the river and cheering on her favorite Cleveland sports teams. In addition she takes care of her two rescue cats Twister and Paws and her aquatic turtle Kosar who always puts a smile on her face.
Katie is excited about becoming a part of the community and exploring the beautiful and breathtaking terrain of Utah.

With a strong background in caring for emergency and critical care patients, Mike joined the Mill Creek team in 2019 where he is currently the lead technician. Outside of work, Mike enjoys canyoneering, rockhounding, road biking, and generally all things outdoors.
Tiarah joined the Mill Creek team in December of 2023 after relocating from Duluth, MN. She obtained her AAS in Veterinary Technology from Pima Medical Institute in Dillon, MT. She is passionate about anesthesia and laboratory diagnostics, and loves the fast paced environment of being a technician and the variety of tasks that must be performed with each patient. She enjoys making a positive difference in the lives of not only the animals but their owners as well. When not at work she can be found paddle boarding, watching hockey, or spending time with her son Atticus, her dog Larry Bird, and cat Tiny Murderer.
I started working in vet medicine almost 5 years ago. I started in Las Vegas, NV and moved to Utah a couple years ago. I love being able to help our patients feel their best! In my free time, I love fitness, dirt biking and spending time with my family.
Jess wandered her way to Moab in 2007, somewhere from the east, and never found her way back. Jess heard the calling of the animals and joined the team at Mill Creek Animal Hospital in 2020. It takes her everything to not take any pet in need home and is constantly sending adorable pictures to her “other” with the text “Want?” below, but he just says no without even looking at the cute little muzzle. She’s a real softie!
Those days you don’t see your smile behind the counter at Mill Creek Animal Hospital, she will be covered in clay pursuing her other love, ceramics, in her studio. And when she’s not covered in clay, you might find her gardening, spending time with her horses, rafting with her “apart-ner” Zach on the trail with her dogs Tika and Sala.
Working with animals has been a passion of mine since childhood. Outside of helping pets and their people at Millcreek Animal Hospital, I attend monthly spay and neuter clinics on the Navajo Nation. In my free time you can find me rafting, canyoneering, or hiking and backpacking with my rescues Rufus and Nizhóní’, and my husband Zach.
