Greg Dobkin, DVM
I am excited to be working in and owning a practice in Parker, a place I call home. After growing up in Southern California, I received my Bachelor’s degree from Colorado State University in Biology and Zoology. During my time at CSU, I fell in love with the Front Range and knew it would become my home after vet school. I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Kansas State University in 2005 and 3 days later moved to Parker. There is not another community I would rather be a part of and I am thrilled to continue to build relationships and form new ones with owners and their four-legged members of the family. My interests are preventative medicine, soft tissue surgery, and dental treatments.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching my kids grow, and supporting them in their many activities. If I am not at work you can often find me on a soccer field, in the pool or on the trails in and around Parker as I train Ironman triathlons and marathons. I am joined at home by my wife- Erin, kids- Connor and Sydney and our dogs- Tulo and Lager.
