Our Doctors
Dr. Phil Radakovich
Owner
Dr. Phil Radakovich graduated from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ames, Iowa in 1985. After graduation he worked at a small animal hospital in Naperville, Illinois for 4 years. There he met his future business partner, Dr. Jerry Immethun. Together they opened Marketplace Animal Hospital in May of 1989. Dr. Radakovich has six children that keep him busy and "young"......so he says! He enjoys golfing, biking, reading, and walking his dogs in his free time. He is an active member in the Latin Mass Community of St. Philippine Duchesne Catholic Church. Dr. Radakovich enjoys both the medical and surgical cases he sees at Marketplace Animal Hospital, but truly loves being a part of the human-animal bond that brings so much joy to our families.
Dr. Brian Godsey
Owner
Dr. Brian Godsey's love for animals started when he was very young. He started working for Marketplace Animal Hospital, as a kennel worker, when he was in high school. After 7 years in Manhattan, Kansas, attending Kansas State University, Dr. Godsey returned to Marketplace Animal Hospital as an associate veterinarian in 2011. In January 2021, after the retirement of Dr. Jerry Immethun, Dr. Godsey became co-owner of MAH with Dr. Radakovich. He is married to another veterinarian who also practices in the area. In his spare time he enjoys working in the yard, running, and taking in nature.

Dr. Morgan Carroll
Owner
Dr. Morgan Carroll is a long time Lenexa resident and has been bringing her own pets to Marketplace Animal Hospital for 17 years. Her first word was "cat" and she has loved animals since she was young. She graduated from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 2019 and is so happy to be practicing close to home. While Dr. Carroll loves surgery and internal medicine cases, her favorite part of the veterinary profession is establishing relationships with clients and their pets. When she's not working she enjoys going to the lake and traveling as much as she can. Dr. Carroll lives in Olathe with her husband, Jacob. She has one cat, Calvin, and two dogs, Lila and Griff.

Dr. Kristen Godsey
Kristen is a born and raised Kansan and has lived in the Lenexa area most of her life. Her mom tells stories of her love for animals starting at a young age. She grew up with both cats and dogs and knew she wanted to continue to work with them as a career. Since she was born into a Kansas State University household, she grew up loving the color purple and the Wildcats. It was no question she wanted to go to Kansas State for college with goals of getting into their veterinary program. After three years of undergraduate studies, she was excited to find out she was accepted as a student to the Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine. She met her now husband, and co-owner of Marketplace, Dr. Brian Godsey in her first year of vet school. In 2014, she was married and graduated from vet school. She returned to Kansas City after graduation and worked elsewhere as a small animal veterinarian before joining Marketplace. Together, she and Brian have a beautiful daughter.
