Nina T. Clow, DVM, Owner
Although born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in May of 1960, Dr. Clow’s family moved to California in 1963 where it was “a little bit warmer”. The majority of Dr. Clow’s childhood was spent on an Almond Ranch in the San Joaquin Valley, which taught her the importance of hard work and perseverance.
Dr. Clow’s first BS was from Fresno State University in Surveying and Photogrammetry out of the Civil Engineering Department in 1983. She worked for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. for 3 years as a Land Surveyor, then was promoted to Crew Chief. The life of hotel rooms did not suit her, so she resigned and started the long journey to become a veterinarian.
Dr. Clow attended Fresno State University from 1983-1986, taking PreVet courses. She graduated from Washington State University, Pullman, Wa, School of Veterinary Medicine in 1994. She first practiced in Reno, Nevada for 3 years at a small animal practice where she discovered the challenge of exotic animal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and treating lots of Parvo/Distemper cases. In 1998, the family moved to Denver, CO, where she has been practicing at Quebec Highlands Animal Clinic ever since. Dr. Clow lives with her husband in Highlands Ranch Co, has a wonderful son in college, and live with a Smooth Fox Terrier named Mikey, and a Maine Coon cat named Theo. Dr. Clow enjoys flyfishing, gardening, biking, hiking with the dogs in the Rockies, and great outdoor concerts.

Erik, Office Manager
Before becoming the Office Manager of Quebec Highlands Animal Clinic, I was (and still am) a veterinary technician. I am a native of Denver, Colorado, and I have been in the veterinary field for 18 years. I have an Associates of Science degree in veterinary technology and am currently finishing my Bachelor of Science in Business Management.
I knew as a kid that I wanted to work with animals, but I’ll admit that I did not know what I was getting into when I chose to become a technician. I never thought of myself as a student of biology. However, I really enjoy working with the animals, as well as their human family. I especially enjoy it when I win over a grumpy cat.
I have two cats: a calico named Sally, and a black cat named Kasey. I also have a large family, which I enjoy spending time with. I also enjoy learning about different types of animals, most anything to do with arts and music, and I love to sing. I also enjoy traveling whenever I get
the chance.

From a young age I was always the kid that knew I wanted to work with animals every day of my life. I love how they can lift your spirits with their love for life and never ending love for people!
