Dr. Brian J. Golden, DVM
I attended Colorado State University's school of Veterinary Medicine. During my sophomore and junior years I interned in an equine and exotic animal hospital. I worked at Marineland of the Pacific and Marine World. Upon graduation in 1975, I opened my companion animal hospital - Lake Murray Village Veterinary Clinic in La Mesa. Additionally, I worked as a consulting veterinarian at Sea World on marine mammals and their penguin and exotic bird collection.
The companion animal practice consist of general veterinary medicine, surgery, internal medicine, dentistry and some exotic animal medicine. My goal is to practice quality medicine and give compassionate care to every patient. There is an emphasis on the pug breed as I have had five pugs; Otis, Jasmine, Bella, Samantha, and Hannah.
When not working at my practice, I spend quality time with my family; Sunny, my wife and sons Brad and Rory. We enjoy traveling, cooking gourmet meals taking fishing trips surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, yoga camping and running the dogs at the beach.
I try to live my life to the fullest - both in my professional and personal pursuits.

Dr. Ellen Catt, DVM
After growing up in Southern California I graduated in 1979 from Humbolt State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology. I then attended the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University graduating in 1984. After graduation I returned to Southern California where I did a year internship in a small animal medicine and surgery in Los Angelas.
While attending veterinary school I met my husband Dr. Larry Catt. After we married we settled in San Diego County where he started his veterinary practice - Large Animal Veterinary Associates - in El Cajon specializing in horses. While raising our family I worked at several veterinary hospitals in East San Diego County. I now enjoy the flexibility of working part time at Lake Murray Village Veterinary Clinic and as an independent contractor at several San Diego veterinary hospitals. Throughout my veterinary career I have focused on compassion, communication and offering a high standard of veterinary medicine to my clients.
On a personal note, we have two children, Christopher and Emily, our Border Collie Jackson and a horse, Shuayla. During my leisure time I enjoy gardening, Pilates, travel and hiking. My husband and I successfully climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. I plan to continue to blend hiking and travel exploration whenever possible.
