Dr. Evelyn Fitzpatrick
Dr. Fitzpatrick's Bio
Dr. Evelyn Fitzpatrick (also known as “Dr. Fitz”) grew up in Glendale, Arizona, and started her multi-college career. First, she headed to Colorado State University to earn a bachelor’s degree in wildlife biology. Then Dr. Fitz started a master’s degree in pathobiology and infectious diseases at the University of Arizona. This was before being accepted into the Veterinary Medicine program at CSU. In 1999, she graduated from the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine – but she wasn’t done yet. She started a master’s degree in epidemiology at Colorado State University, only to be interrupted a year later by her first child’s birth. At that point, she decided that small animal practice was safer for her family than playing with BioLevel 4 viruses like Ebola, Hemorrhagic Fever, and Plague. And after a few years working in Arizona, she and her family moved to Colorado Springs in 2006. She has been working in the area ever since.
Dr. Peggy Colgate
Dr. Colgate's Bio
Dr. Peggy Colgate is a sixth-generation Coloradoan and notes that the family is not related to the toothpaste Colgates. She received a bachelor’s degree in biology from Western State College in Gunnison, CO, and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO, in 1993. In addition to her medical degree, she has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in anthropology. Dr. Colgate has worked in a number of companion animal veterinary practices in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, and New Mexico, filling in for doctors who are sick or on vacation. In recent years, she has confined her “relief” work to Colorado exclusively to be closer to family, have more time for her pets, and enjoy the many attractions of our area. Dr. Peggy’s current pet family includes some unruly terriers, a turtle, and a salamander who is 21 years old! After working at some 40 different practices over her career, Dr. Colgate finds that the staff makes or breaks a clinic and says she especially enjoys working at Centennial because of the excellent crew.
