We offer a variety of surgical and non-surgical treatment options for acute and chronic illnesses to improve patient comfort and accelerate surgical or injury recovery time. Our service is spearheaded by Dr. Felix Duerr, the only practicing veterinarian in Colorado that is double boarded by both the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) and the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (ACVSMR).
