Dr. Don Beebe

Biography

In 2007 Dr. Beebe founded Apex Veterinary Specialists in Englewood, Colorado. His goal is to combine his clinical dental expertise with his compassionate bedside manner in order to improve the quality of life of pets with dental diseases in Colorado.

Dr. Beebe is very active in the veterinary community, and teaches at the local and national level. He provides continuing education programs for veterinarians and technicians who are interested in developing and maintaining their techniques and skills in dentistry. Dr. Beebe holds appointments on multiple American Veterinary Dental CollegeTM committees, and is a member of numerous veterinary organizations including the Foundation for Veterinary Dentistry, American Veterinary Medical Association, and Colorado Veterinary Medical Association. His special interests include periodontal surgery, endodontics, and maxillofacial fracture repair.

Don and his wife have four children, three Sphinx cats, a Labrador retriever and a friendly Border Collie who comes to work with Dr. Beebe most days. They all enjoy hiking and camping on the weekends (yes, even the cats!).
