Doctors
Dr. Kenneth Chmelka, DVM, Practice Owner
Dr. Kenneth ChmelkaI had the privilege of growing up around a variety of pets. The fondness encouraged me to become a veterinarian. I received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine degree from Kansas State University in 1983. Following graduation, I worked at a small animal and equine veterinary hospital in Upper Hutt, New Zealand before coming to Colorado Springs in 1985. I was soon practicing at Academy Acres Veterinary Hospital as an Associate Veterinarian then quickly moved onto being partial owner in taking care of cats, ferrets, dogs, rabbits, and reptiles. In March 2000, Dr. Schrepel and I joined partnership to open Aspen View Veterinary Hospital. I enjoy internal medicine and surgery, as well as working with exotic reptile species.
My wife and two boys keep me busy outside of the hospital with various sport activities and school. We have a Golden Retriever, Gretzky; and 3 cats, Katrina, Hazel and Biggelsworth. We also have a tarantula named Pete. When not working with animals I enjoy cycling.
In over 20 years since receiving my Doctorate, the satisfaction of helping animals and the contact with their owners makes me proud I became a veterinarian.
Dr. Douglas Schrepel, DVM, Practice Owner
Dr. Douglas SchrepelI graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1994 from the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University. After practicing in a small animal hospital in Washington state for a year, I returned to Colorado and joined Academy Acres Veterinary Hospital for 2 years, where I met Dr. Chmelka. In March 2000, we joined partnership and opened Aspen View Veterinary Hospital.
I am currently a member of The American Veterinary Medical Association, The Colorado Veterinary Medical Association, The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights, and the Colorado Springs Area Veterinary Society. I take a special interest in pain management, strengthening the human-animal bond and in addition to my canine and feline patients I take pleasure in caring for rabbits.
I share my life with veterinarian, Dr. Laurie Clauss, my three children, a Boxer, a blind Labrador Retriever, and a number of cats that seems to change constantly as I and Dr. Clauss actively work with the Humane Society and Feline Rescue Groups. When not working with animals or attending school events, I am an avid distance runner, love to snow ski and dabble with vegetarian cooking.
