When your pet needs emergency care, knowing where to turn can make all the difference. Dr. Matt Asciutto shares the story behind Inkwell Veterinary Emergency Clinic, Fort Collins' locally-owned outpatient emergency clinic that's changing how pet parents experience urgent care.

After years traversing the country as an emergency veterinarian in specialty referral centers from Alaska to North Carolina, Dr. Asciutto put down roots in Fort Collins when his wife joined CSU. With a growing family and deep emergency medicine expertise, he spotted a crucial need in the community – accessible, transparent emergency care that bridges the gap when your regular vet isn't available.

What makes Inkwell truly revolutionary is its physical design. "The whole place is glass," Dr. Asciutto explains. This deliberate transparency allows pet owners to witness their pet's treatment firsthand, reducing anxiety during already stressful situations. Located at Drake and Timberline, the clinic combines specialty-level medical expertise with convenient hours (open until 10 PM) and a genuinely local approach to business. Dr. Matt Asciutto addresses common misconceptions about veterinary financing while emphasizing his collaborative relationships with area primary care veterinarians.

Beyond his professional identity, we glimpse the person behind the white coat – a family man who once performed improv comedy and still occasionally strums a guitar while falling asleep. His philosophical approach to challenges serves him perfectly in emergency medicine: acknowledge where you are and focus on finding solutions.
