Dr. Lisa Mausbach

DVM

Dr. Mausbach earned her DVM from Colorado State University in 1998. After completing a small animal rotating internship at a busy AAHA-accredited multi-specialty, emergency, and general practice, she remained on staff as a tenured clinician for almost 20 years. In the 2nd half of her career, Dr. Mausbach has found a passion for high-volume high-quality spay/neuter [HVHQSN] surgery along with a mission to help increase access to affordable veterinary surgical care. Her ambition to open a surgery and procedure-focused veterinary clinic in the Denver metro area has resulted in the opening of Second Chances Veterinary Care.
