I'm Dr. Matthew Wright. I'm a proud alumni of Kansas State University, where I earned my BA in Animal Science in 1992 and my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. My early exposure to veterinary care began at Millard Veterinary Clinic, a practice founded by my father, Steven E. Wright. Growing up, I not only enjoyed owning horses but also gained extensive experience with large animals in Western Nebraska.
In 2001, I joined Millard Veterinary Clinic as a DVM and expanded our family legacy by opening Millard West Veterinary Clinic in 2004. Following my father’s passing in 2007, I took over leadership of both locations. In 2016, I established Elkhorn South Veterinary Clinic, further broadening our services across three practices to better serve the Elkhorn area.
I thrive on the diversity of general veterinary practice, where no two days are the same. From initial consultation to diagnosis and treatment, I am thoroughly involved in every aspect of my patients' care, with a special interest in orthopedics and ultrasonography. I’m also the principal veterinarian for the SNAFU Rescue Program.
With over 20 years of experience, my passion for veterinary medicine continues to grow. I value the relationships I build with clients and their pets, and I believe in leading by example—I’ve performed every task in our clinics from grounds maintenance to management.
Outside of veterinary care, I enjoy boating, working outdoors, and spending quality time with my wife and two daughters. I hold an Ultrasound Certification and am committed to lifelong learning to enhance the care I provide at our clinics.
