Meet the Team

Dr. Cowgill grew up on a small hobby farm in Fruita, Colorado. She received her veterinary technician training through the U.S. Army Reserve while she completed her undergraduate education at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. She graduated from Colorado State University’s veterinary medical program in 2011.  She chose to pursue a career in companion animal medicine because she values the bond between people and their pets and enjoys helping clients make informed decisions about their care.

Dr. Cowgill has been working in small animal general practice for the past fourteen years.  Her main areas of professional interest are internal medicine, soft tissue surgery and of course, dentistry!  Dr. Cowgill started the Pet Dental Clinic in an effort to provide a simpler, more affordable solution for pet owners along the Front Range.  She feels blessed to be part of a small team using the talents that God has given them to help ease the load on people who love their pets. 

When not working at Pet Dental Clinic, Dr. Cowgill continues to work relief shifts for local small animal practices so she can keep her general knowledge sharp.  In her free time, Dr. Cowgill enjoys spending time with her family and all things outdoors. She loves traveling, camping, hiking, and water sports. Dr. Cowgill lives in Berthoud with her husband and three children. They share their home with a dog, cat, and a rabbit.

Dr. Tina Simmons, a graduate of CSU, returned to Colorado after practicing in Cheyenne, WY as well as Anchorage, AK. She was raised locally on a small farm in south Fort Collins and worked throughout high school at a local dairy. Dr. Simmons has an abundance of diverse experience working in both companion and rescue/shelter medicine since 2003. During that time, she witnessed the significant benefits in her patients’ lives from the dental care she was able to provide. She is excited to be a part of making this needed care accessible to our local pet families.

When she is not working, Dr. Simmons is an avid gardener and enjoys fishing. And she is always thinking about how to make her rescue chihuahuas happier.

Dr. Christine Bui grew up in Southern California before moving to Colorado to earn her DVM and MBA from Colorado State University in 2015. She spent several years undergoing additional specialty training in both small animal and zoo/exotic medicine before returning back to Colorado. Dr. Bui values the importance of oral health for all species of animals in conjunction with a good wellness prevention program to keep animals living longer and healthier lives. 

Dr. Bui also serves in the US Army Reserves as a veterinarian. Her missions have allowed her to travel both state-side and internationally to take care of Military Working Dogs, horses, local community pets, and exotic ambassadors (birds and lions). 

When not occupied with work, Dr. Bui enjoys spending time with her family, pets, and friends, traveling, and watching movies or documentaries.   

Dr. Echeverri was born and raised in Torrance, California and moved to Colorado in 2023. Prior to veterinary school, Dr. Echeverri received her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at University of California, Davis in 2017. Dr. Echeverri earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree in 2023 from down under at The University of Sydney. Her interests include surgery, preventative medicine, and emergency. 

Moving to Colorado has been a perfect fit for her now husband, Jack, and Border Collie, Indie. They love to call her “Chicken” because of her long skinny legs and how she is afraid of random things like spoons. Their little family loves to go on fishing, hiking, and Jeep camping adventures together. 

Dr. Echeverri strives to treat your pets as her own and uphold the Pet Dental Clinic’s excellent care! She is so excited to begin her veterinary career with the Pet Dental Clinic and can’t wait to meet you soon!
