Front Range Veterinary Clinic-Staff

Trent Newcomer, DVM
I grew up in the Kansas City area and earned my
Bachelor’s Degree in Business from the University
of Colorado, Boulder. I then worked and traveled
extensively around the world before eventually
returning to Colorado and earning my Doctorate of
Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State
University. I became the proud owner of Front
Range Veterinary Clinic in 2009. I enjoy all aspects
of veterinary medicine, but have particularly strong
interests in internal medicine, soft-tissue surgery,
and dentistry. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy
cycling/mountain biking, skiing, camping, traveling,
and reading.

Jill Weich, DVM
I was born and raised in the Chicago area. In 1996 I
moved to Fort Collins to attend CSU where I
earned my bachelors in Biology and my Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine. After school I practiced in
northern Indiana for 3 years before moving back to
Fort Collins. I have been at Front Range for just
over 2 years and love the clients and the staff here.
My special interests are soft tissue surgery,
dentistry, and dermatology. I have 3 pets – Mavik
the dog, and Twix and Skittles my 2 cats. When I’m
not being a veterinarian I enjoy downhill skiing,
mountain biking, running, and spending time with
my family.

Patty Burdick, Office Manager
Customer Service has always been important to me
and I try to treat all clients as I expect to be treated.
I enjoy the people I work with, as we are a very
diverse group. One thing you will hear at Front
Range Veterinary Clinic is laughter, because we truly
love our jobs. I have been married to Steve for 31
years and we have two sons. One lives in Colorado,
and the youngest lives in Washington State. We
have 3 dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and a Lab Mix). I
am passionate about cooking. Forget the 30 minute
meals! I enjoy taking care of all things house-related:
pets, garden, rose beds, etc. I also enjoy camping,
fishing, and warm-weather vacations.

Matt Hodson, Veterinary Assistant
I grew up in California and moved to Colorado in
2001. Soon thereafter, at the age of 12, I started
volunteering at Front Range Veterinary Clinic. A few
years later, I realized that I wanted to make it a
career and I am currently attending Front Range
Community College in pursuit of a degree in
Veterinary Technology. I love the challenges of
working in a veterinary clinic and all of the
interesting cases we see. I look forward to providing
the best service possible to all of our clients and
patients.
