New Dr. Arrival!

Please Welcome Dr. Tamera Kramer!

Dr. Tamera Kramer earned her undergraduate degree in equine science and then graduated from CSU’s Veterinary School of Medicine in May of 2021. She is a Colorado native and pet mom to “Piper”, a Russian blue cat, and “Mochi”, a black lab. Tamera is passionate about preventative healthcare, responsible breeding strategies, and small animal surgical care. She enjoys fishing, keeping up on the latest movie releases, and spending time with her family and pets. Many clients may recognize Dr. Kramer as she worked at Arvada Flats Veterinary Hospital throughout her schooling. Tamera wanted to mention that her family has trusted Arvada Flats with their pets’ care since she was a child.

We are thrilled to be bringing Tamera back to Arvada Flats and know she’ll be a great addition to our pet care team.
