Dr. Denver Coleman completed his undergraduate studies at Loyola Marymount University, his Masters in Biological Sciences from California Polytechnic University, and his Veterinary Degree from UC Davis of Veterinary Medicine in 2019. Afterward, he completed a one year internship program at the University of Illinois, School of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Coleman’s interests lie in emergency and critical care, ophthalmology, exotics, and marine mammal medicine.

He believes in working hard and having a few laughs along the way. The pet parent of two pugs named Huckleberry and Abraham.
