Carin Ramsel
DVM
Carin Ramsel graduated in 2003 from Kansas State University. She moved to Colorado in 2005 to be closer to her family. Dr. Ramsel, seeking new ways to help pets, took several courses in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) and now uses it to complement Western Medicine. She is currently finishing her master’s degree in TCVM and will be one of the first American veterinarians to have this distinction. She enjoys the outdoors and spending time with her family, two dogs, & foster cat.
Gretchen Kasameyer
DVM
Dr. Kasameyer has been a veterinarian since 1997 after graduating from our own Colorado State University. After graduation, she spent a year in Caribou, Maine, then worked at Cheyenne Mountain Animal Hospital for 25 years. She had a brief respite from the daily commute from Denver to work at the Animal Hospital Center, a 24-hour emergency center in Denver until she returned to the Springs, and she has been here ever since!
She enjoys all that Colorado Springs has to offer, including hiking, camping, and great motorcycle weather. Dr. Kasameyer is involved in wildlife conservation, environmental stewardship, and trying to keep our government in line! Her own pets have been varied, and many, but currently, she owns Tater and Coleslaw, two sibling English Bull Terriers.
