As of February 2021, Dr. Lori Perrow is our new medical director. She graduated from North Carolina Veterinary School in 1999 and practiced in North Carolina until moving to Colorado in 2013. Her husband is a physician assistant at a family practice, and they have a daughter who shares her mother’s passion for animals. Their family also has 5 dogs (yes five!) and 2 cats. Dr. Perrow enjoys biking, running, and knitting in her spare time.
Dr. Cam Mellin, DVM, Associate Veterinarian
A son of the Blue Ridge with a western kick, “Dr. Cam” is ecstatic to join the wonderful team at Columbine Animal Hospital. Hailing from the commonwealth where he attended veterinary school at Virginia Tech, Dr. Cam maintains a passion for internal medicine, animal behavior, and the empowerment of senior pets through “proactive” care, nutrition, and the use of rehabilitative therapies designed to keep our animals sharp & agile well into their golden years.
Beyond the walls of Columbine, Dr. Cam can be found in the backcountry researching mountain lions in New Mexico, Jaguars in Arizona, or rehabilitating local wildlife here in Colorado. His wife Grace keeps their home warm and full of laughter, with the couple proud pet parents to a spunky hound Harper, a charismatic cat Poppi, and an oh-so-mischievous (and talkative!) African Grey Parrot; Zola.
When kicking back; Cam enjoys travels with his wife and their “zoo”, perfecting his short rib ragu recipe, cheering on Arsenal Football Club, and taking in the beauty of a Colorado sunrise with a hot cup of coffee and a good book on Western history.
