Dr. Karen Sanderson retired on December 21, 2023 and our practice is now closed. While this may be concerning, we want to assure you that great cardiac care can be found for your pets at VRCC Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital in Englewood or Choice Veterinary Specialists in Westminster.
Medical records from Dr. Sanderson’s practice have been transferred to VRCC Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Hospital and the Client Coordinators in the Cardiology department at VRCC are happy to assist you with obtaining those records or forwarding them to the practice of your choice.
We encourage you to establish care with a new cardiologist of your choice and are happy to assist with making this a smooth transition.
