Jonathan T. Quint, DVM

Dr. Jonathan T. Quint grew up in the great state of Montana where his interests in veterinary medicine developed at an early age. During his elementary school years, the rescuing of baby birds from fallen nests every spring launched his desire to help any animal in need of assistance. He even went so far as to dive into a Montana river to save a drowning moose calf (in hindsight, not the most brilliant move as the mother moose was just upstream and the river was cold!). Everything worked out ok as he carried the baby to the edge of the woods where the mother could retrieve it.

Dr. Quint attended college in Pennsylvania at Franklin & Marshall College where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Economics. He then attended Montana State University in preparation for veterinary school. He obtained his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 1997. After a brief 8 months of small animal practice in Kalispell, Montana, he returned to beautiful Colorado where he has resided to this day.

Dr. Quint has practiced in the Castle Rock area since early 1998 and his interests lie with soft-tissue surgery, dentistry, and reproductive medicine. He is excited to be a part of the Animal Care Center of Castle Pines, where state-of-the art medicine and surgery will be emphasized. “I look forward to joining Dr. James, Dr. Wayment, and Dr. Crippen in this wonderful new facility. This venture will allow me to bring you and your pet compassionate, quality care for many years to come’”

Dr. Quint lives in Elizabeth, Colorado, with his wonderful wife, a beautiful daughter, a golden retriever, a German Shepherd, and a very spoiled cat! His leisure time is spent fly fishing, hiking, and hopefully more time in the air as he continues his passion for flying.

Lindsay M. Crippen, DVM, MBA

I am Lindsay M. Crippen, DVM, MBA at least that is my official title, but I prefer Lindsay. I am a native of Colorado, born and raised along the Front Range in beautiful Denver. In my high school years I was a concert pianist, a varsity volleyball, basketball, and soccer player. I worked in a veterinary clinic as a kennel "kid" to gain experience in the veterinary field.

After high school I attended college at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado knowing I would apply for Veterinary school during my fourth year of undergraduate. College was filled with many hours of studying, working, volunteering and some social time. I worked at Lambspun of Colorado, a fiber arts gallery, learning the art of knitting, spinning, weaving and crocheting, but also learned how to run a business. I was their office manager. Working for three years at Lambspun gave me the confidence to become an entrepreneur. I knew I would open and operate my own veterinary clinic. After going to school full time, working twenty to thirty hours a week and volunteering about ten hours a week, it came down to the final semester of undergraduate and preparing to move to Illinois for Veterinary school.

I spent four years in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois attending the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. There were many hours of studying, socializing and some working. College was devoted to getting into veterinary school and veterinary school was devoted to learning about veterinary medicine, to establish lifelong friends and determine the kind of doctor I wanted to become. Four years came and went quickly.

I graduated in May 2003 and returned to Colorado. I was jobless, homeless, and money less. What alternative did I have, but to move in with the parents? I decided to attend school again for my Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. I graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver in May 2007 with my MBA

I told my self after graduating from veterinary school that I wanted to be in pursuit of my own hospital in 5 years and it has happened! I worked as an emergency and critical care doctor on the overnight shifts for the first nine months of my career and then gradually worked my way into the daytime shift as a general practitioner in Castle Rock. Currently, I have joined forces with Animal Care Center as a practice owner and am looking forward to new challenges that it brings me. I can honestly say I love my job. My clients and I work as a team; the clients rely on me, the doctor, to treat their family members with respect and care and I rely on them to keep me informed about their pets. I want to educate clients and to love their pets as they are loved at home.

Asides from work l I do try and create a balance of my own wishes and desires. I have three cats, Black Diamond, Jack, and Chloe, two leopard geckos, Dudley and Clementine and my beloved dog, Holly Berry. I enjoy photography and traveling. I recently got married to my wonderful husband and am looking forward to a trip to Africa this summer. Many days there are not enough hours in one day to get done what I would like, but in the end I am happy and enjoy life to its fullest. And those still pondering, no I am not still living with my parents!
