Dr. Brad Uppinghouse grew up on a small farm outside of Fulton, Missouri. He graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia with a Bachelors in Science in Biological Sciences. He developed a passion for veterinary medicine while working in a reproductive services lab at Mizzou after acquiring his undergraduate degree. His interests include surgery, endoscopy, and advanced imaging. Dr. Uppinghouse and his girlfriend like spending time playing board games, playing disc golf, camping, and hiking. They are the proud fur parents of Castiel, a Red Heeler/Jack Russel mix, and Paisley Jane, a Staffordshire Terrier.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Hooton enjoys hiking, playing board games, and watching movies. She values time spent outdoors and relaxing with friends and family and is always up for a good game night or movie marathon. She shares her home with her two beloved pets: Missy, a coconut retriever and Tootsie, a sweet and sassy cat who keeps everyone on their toes.

Madison was born in Santa Clarita, CA; she spent most of her time growing up with her animals. She had dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. Throughout her teenage years, she was a competitive dancer. She moved to New Jersey to pursue her choreographer career and did training throughout New York City, and even trained with the Radio City Rockettes. She moved to Las Vegas in September of 2020 and joined the West Russell Animal Hospital Team to pursue her love of animals.

She enjoys spending her free time with her Australian Shepherd/ Heeler mix Roxie Rae and her two rescue black cats, Wednesday and Pugsley. She loves the beach, surfing, traveling, and taking Roxie on walks. You can catch her teaching at a local Dance Studio in the Vegas area when you don’t see her running our front desk. Madison thoroughly enjoys all of the clients and pets at West Russell Animal Hospital.
