Alicia Wilson, DVM

Dr. Alicia Wilson was born and raised in Fountain, Colorado, a small city between Colorado Springs and Pueblo just outside of the Fort Carson Army base. Following high school graduation, she moved to Mount Vernon, Iowa to attend Cornell College. In just over 2 years’ time she graduated from Cornell with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. She applied to Veterinary schools across the nation where she was accepted to Cornell University, UC Davis, and Midwestern University.

She began pursuing a career in the veterinary field, as most stories go, as a young child falling in love with the idea of helping animals. Dr. Wilson began shadowing at various clinics and even found a job in the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo where she was able to help educate others about animals, their needs, and the means of taking care of them. She is all about the exotics and is a big proponent of conservation medicine and loves working with them every opportunity that she gets. She also loves working with horses and large animals in general. She is a member of the WDA and AAEP.

Dr. Wilson loves to go on hikes and when she had a horse in her life, enjoyed riding immensely. She currently has 2 dogs at home who are a result of working at the clinic, but she absolutely loves them. Dr. Wilson also enjoys artwork, mostly doing graphite personally, but will dabble into chalks, charcoals, and paints. She also does sewing and cross-stitch. (Source)
