“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”
Forward, Faster
Our Story
Music City Pet Internal Medicine was born from a simple but urgent need: to offer a better path for pets facing serious illness. Dr. Larson saw too many families overwhelmed by the cost and logistics of specialty referral—and too many veterinarians left to manage complex cases alone.
MCPIM was created to offer a middle option: collaborative, accessible internal medicine support that meets vets, pets and their people where they are.
Music City’s Mission
We believe every pet deserves timely, expert care, without unnecessary delays or barriers.
Our “Forward, Faster” hybrid model bridges the gap between general practice and full specialty referral, supporting the Spectrum of Care and keeping pets in familiar surroundings whenever possible.
Who We Help
Pet Owners
If your vet has recommended an internal medicine consult—or you’re unsure whether a full referral is the right next step, MCPIM is here to help.
Our services are ideal for busy families, those facing financial constraints, or anyone who wants to talk to someone first before committing to a larger facility.
Veterinarians
We’re your partner in managing challenging cases. From diagnostic interpretation to client communication, we offer practical support that strengthens your care and helps you guide families through difficult decisions.
What We Offer
Virtual Tele-Advice
Expert insights and recommendations from the comfort of your home, empowering you to make informed decisions with your primary veterinarian.
In-Clinic Services
Specialized testing and procedures performed at your family vet’s office—often more affordable and less disruptive than a traditional referral.
This hybrid model also reduces patient stress, improves access, and supports better outcomes for pets across Nashville and surrounding areas of Tennessee.
