Suzanne Higgins, DVM

Dr. Suzanne Higgins graduated from the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in 1991.  Her bachelor of science degree was in Agribusiness from ASU in 1986.

Dr H. worked at several practices and performed relief veterinary services until spring 1997. She then opened DCAH as a start up business in March of 1997. Her first employee was one part-time technician. The hospital offered boarding, grooming and medical services from the start.  Dr. Higgins often worked alone early on in the practice. She often groomed dogs herself and for the first two years, cared for all the boarding animals every evening and on weekends. 

The practice continued to grow and Dr. Higgins began looking for land to build the new free standing hospital in 2002.  The parcel of land was located in 2004 and the planning was started!  In April of 2005,  Dr. Beth Robbins started as an associate.  Ground was broken for the new building in July of 2006, and ready to move in on April of 2007!  Stop by to check out our beautiful 10,000 square foot 2.5 acre facility!

Her time away from the practice is usually filled with spending time with her husband, two young boys, and Cephus, her new Doberman rescue.  She enjoys water skiing, hiking, camping, cooking and just completed her first sprint triathlon to raise money for breast cancer research.

Dr. K practiced in Chandler prior to joining the team at Deer Creek Animal Hospital. She enjoys all aspects of general practice, and has a special interest in internal medicine, surgery, and geriatric patient care.

Dr. K also works with Altered Tails, a Phoenix organization which works to control the feral cat population in Phoenix and the surrounding areas through education and sterilization. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, reading, running, and hiking. Her current pets include an orange tabby, a black lab, a Doberman, and a blue healer mix.
