FVH has provided veterinary services for the Golden/Lakewood area since 1979. In December of 2016, Dr. Francis retired and Dr. Morgan Burger bought FVH.
Dr. Burger attended Mississippi State University, majoring in Microbiology before entering their Veterinary Medicine program. She graduated in 2003 with her D.V.M. She moved to New Orleans to join a busy 9 doctor practice. Later she became a faculty member of Tulane University in 2005, working in a high intensity/volume surgical facility and published several peer-reviewed articles. She returned to small animal practice to follow her dream of becoming a hospital owner. In 2016, she moved to Golden from Louisiana to purchase Francis Veterinary Hospital. Joining her in this adventure is her husband Chris, daughters Marley & Micah, and dogs Icee (boxer) & NayNay (poodle).
