Our Beginnings
Animal Medical Center of Frederick County was founded in 1998 by business partners Dr. Brian Cather and Dr. Bruce Welch. The team then comprised two doctors and a few support staff. As our client/patient base grew, so did our team of veterinary professionals as we steadily added associate veterinarians and technicians. In 2014 the Animal Medical Center of Frederick County underwent major expansion and remodeling to make us the top-notch facility that you see today.
