Alexandra Shaffer

Dr. Shaffer is originally from Massachusetts and completed her undergraduate degree from the University of Vermont where she fell in love with hiking and seeing mountains every day. She took a year off before going to veterinary school where she was a Reptile Keeper at the St Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park and then an intern with the penguin colony at the New England Aquarium. Dr. Shaffer then spent the next 4 years completing her veterinary degree at (the very flat) University of Illinois where she fell in love with the excitement, difficult cases, and wounds that emergency medicine has to offer. 

In her spare time, Dr. Shaffer loves working out, hiking with her two dogs Remi and Butter, and enjoying all that Colorado has to offer (especially the beautiful mountain views).
