Who We Are

Rocky Mountain Veterinary Clinical Pathology was started by Dr. Jeffries (DACVP, Clinical Pathology) to offer cytology and educational services with a personal touch to veterinary clinics in the Colorado area and beyond. Dr. Jeffries began her career in veterinary medicine as a certified veterinary technician in Tucson, AZ, where her love for teaching and clinical pathology became apparent. After veterinary school at the University of Florida she completed a residency in clinical pathology and Masters degree at Colorado State University. Her Masters degree focused on studying myeloma related diseases in dogs and cats. During residency and to this day she maintains her clinical skills by working as a relief veterinarian. We aim to provide personalized attention, reliable service, and learning opportunities for our clients.
