Welcome to Madison Street Animal Hospital

Dr. Lexi McGilvray (Dr. Mac) grew up in the beautiful Seattle area.  She moved to San Diego, California for college, graduating from the University of San Diego with a BA in Biological Anthropology. She returned to the Pacific Northwest to attend Washington State University for veterinary school, graduating from WSU College of Veterinary Medicine with honors in May 2015.  After graduation, she was accepted by Seattle Veterinary Specialists for a one year, small animal rotating internship in emergency and specialty medicine.  She has worked as a small animal general practitioner since the completion of her advanced training. Her interests include cardiology, dentistry, and internal medicine.  When she’s not working with animals as a Cara team member, Dr. Mac enjoys traveling with her husband, snowboarding with friends, practicing hot yoga, cheering for the Seahawks, and exploring the PNW’s great outdoors with her Chihuahua mix, Leoberto.

Dr. Goldthwaite grew up on a farm in the rural Midwest where she developed a passion for caring for, rather than eating animals. She has a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and has been known to recite Hamlet’s soliloquy to her patients- “To pee or not to pee, that is the question.” She attended the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She has three children in addition to her dog Odie, who serves as the clinic greeter, and two ferrets. Odie is more popular than she is, but she doesn’t hold it against him- you can follow him on instagram @saddog_odie. She believes that good medicine is centered on a team approach focused on strong communication with owners to help them make the best decisions regarding their pet’s health.

Dr. Daiga Rozensteine has been with Madison Street Animal Hospital since 2019. Born in Latvia, she knew by age five that she wanted to devote her life to animals and by ten was determined to become a veterinarian.  While working at an animal shelter called Dzivnieku Draugs in Latvia, she helped establish a charity hospital for stray animals and pets of low-income families. She’s a graduate of the Latvia University of Agriculture, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and obtained her Washington State Veterinary License in 2015. She has extensive experience in emergency care and general practice. She loves and feels deeply connected to each of her patients and strives to provide them with the highest quality care.

When away from her patients, she can be found hiking, traveling, cooking vegan food, and volunteering at Pasado’s Safe Haven. Dr. Rozensteine also shares her home with Bholu, a rescued dog from India.
