Aimee Johnson was born and raised in a small Texas town called Cash. She attended Texas A&M, with a major in Biomedical Sciences, and in 1996, was accepted for a coveted position at the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine.

Seeking a change of scenery after graduation, Dr. Johnson accepted her first position in Puyallup, Washington, a suburb outside of Seattle, where she practiced small animal medicine for one year. Deciding the Northwest wasn't her ideal location, she chose to move to Colorado, a state she had come to love while working on dude ranches during her summers between school years.

After a few years working as a relief veterinarian in Gunnison, Colorado, Aimee found a permanent job in Evergreen, Colorado, where she worked until purchasing Creature Comforts Animal Hospital.

Throughout her career as a small animal veterinarian, Dr. Johnson has always had a love of dentistry. She feels that of all the diseases we see in our pets, dental disease is the most common, the most ignored, and has one of the greatest possibilities for spreading generalized disease to our beloved pets. She also developed an open mind for alternative veterinary therapies and believes both Western and Eastern philosophies are important to provide the best preventative and long term care for our pets.

Aimee currently shares her life with a thirteen year old Border Collie, named Nevar, a Chocolate Lab, named Gus, and a Buckskin Quarter Horse, named Quanah. Needless to say, she adores them all.

Dr. Johnson and her staff place a high value on cultivating strong relationships with all of their clients. Please call Creature Comforts Animal Hospital today with any questions about Dr. Johnson or your pet's health.
