History

Established in 2011.

Surface Creek Veterinary Center opened its doors in October of 2011, as soon as construction of the clinic was complete. Drs. Jeff and Susie Hirsch came to Cedaredge in 2009 from Phoenix, AZ. In Arizona they had a successful practice in the North Central area, but were displaced by light rail construction. They took this as a sign to get out of town, and arrived in beautiful western Colorado shortly after. The decision to start over and build a new clinic was spurred by local demand and a shortage of veterinarians. The clinic has been serving the needs of animal owners in Delta county for almost 3 years now, and we are proud to say we are here to stay!

Meet the Business Owner

Jeff H.

Business Owner

Dr. Jeff grew up in Phoenix, AZ, and worked in construction while attending night classes at Arizona State University. When the bottom fell out of the real estate and construction market, he got serious about school, applied to and was accepted to the veterinary school at CSU in Ft. Collins. There he met his future wife, a Colorado girl. They moved back to Arizona for 12 years, had a nice clinic, which was then taken by the government through eminent domain, and ended up back in the beautiful state of Colorado with 3 kids. Here they started over and built a new veterinary practice in Cedaredge. Jeff is active in the community and his church, and has come to love the rural life.
