Dr. Matt Booth is one of the AVSEC owner partners. He grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. and was an avid surfer and alpine skier. Dr. Booth attended the University of Georgia for undergraduate and veterinary school. During this time, Dr. Booth was employed as a veterinary technician at a general practice and the critical care unit at the university. This experience led Dr. Booth to recognize his passion for small animal emergency and critical care. Dr. Booth graduated veterinary school and had an unusual entrance to critical care and emergency medicine.

He began working in Augusta, Georgia where there was a great shortage of this type of veterinarian. Through mentorship by Dr. Roger Gfeller, DACVECC, Matt immediately became the primary emergency clinician for everything from motor vehicular trauma, to gun-shot wounds to massive bee envenomation. In 1999, Dr. Booth moved to Boulder County where he has continued to practice critical care, emergency medicine and surgery.

Dr. Booth has the most wonderful wife in the world, Jen, a sweet daughter, Ashley, and new son, Blake. He also has a 20-year-old cat (Tar Tar) that he got when he first became a technician. Dr. Booth is also an avid kayaker and telemark skier. You might see him kayaking the creeks in Lyons or on the slopes of Eldora when he’s not helping pets at AVSEC.
