Our veterinarians

Five veterinarians see patients at Animal Hospital at Grayhawk. Dr. Berman and Dr. Kitchen own the practice and work in it — there is no corporate parent and no regional manager above them.

TK No certifications are claimed for Dr. Thomas anywhere on this page, in the copy or in the schema, because none are confirmed. Confirm directly with Michael before adding a credentials entry.

Alycia Hagenmaier, DVM

Veterinarian · Several days a week at Grayhawk

Begins seeing patients Monday, October 5, 2026

  • Colorado State University, DVM 2018
  • Photograph to come

Dr. Hagenmaier joins Animal Hospital at Grayhawk and Desert Ridge Animal Hospital on October 5, 2026. A 2018 graduate of Colorado State University, she has been in practice for eight years.

At Animal Hospital at Grayhawk, Dr. Hagenmaier sees patients several days a week. She is at Desert Ridge Animal Hospital every Wednesday.

TK No certifications are claimed for Dr. Hagenmaier anywhere on this page, in the copy or in the schema, because none are confirmed. Confirm directly with Michael before adding a credentials entry.

TK The approved bio brief also carries a personal-detail sentence (travel, photography, restaurants, the ASU spider research) and one permitted mention of her previous practice. Neither is in doctors.ts, so neither is rendered here. Per the 28 Aug decision the previous-practice line belongs in the opening paragraph of the Grayhawk canonical bio only, and never in schema. Add the personal sentence as a bio field when it is signed off.

Special interests

Dermatology

Itchy skin and ears, recurring ear infections, and the allergy work-ups that get to why.

Vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, and stomachs that have never quite settled.

03

Chronic pain management

Arthritis and the stiffness that arrives with age, managed over months rather than one visit.

How we work

Fear Free is not one doctor's approach here. It is how a visit is run.

Pre-visit medication offered before you arrive, cats kept away from dogs from check-in onward, an exam wherever your animal is most comfortable, and a visit stopped rather than forced.
