Clarence Sitzman, DVM
Diplomate: American Veterinary Dental College
Immediate past president American Veterinary Dental Society
Member of A.A.H.A., A.V.M.A, C.V.M.A, L.C.V.M.A
I grew up in nearby Greeley on a dairy farm with my parents, one brother
and two sisters. I graduated with a B.S. in Animal Science from CSU in
1972, and with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1975. I spent one year
as an intern at the animal reproduction center at Colorado State
University.
After graduation, I married my college sweetheart Phylis, and we have
three children, Ryan, Diana and Paul. (They are all currently in
college, so retirement in nowhere near in the future). After the
internship I started my own practice in Fort Collins, and have been in
practice here since 1976. We moved into our current location in the
spring of 1986, and did a major remodel and expansion in 1998.
As a veterinarian I acquired a professional interest in veterinary
dentistry about 10 years ago, and have pursued advanced training in
dentistry since that time. I receive referrals from the Colorado front
range, the western slope, and from most of Wyoming. I am an active
member of the American Veterinary Dental Society, and have been
fortunate enough to have served as president of that organization in
2004 and 2005. In February of 2007, I received my diplomate status from
the American Veterinary Dental College.
Some of my outside interests are music, gardening, racquetball and
rugby, and watching the best team in the National Football League- the
Denver Broncos. I am an active member of Timnath Presbyterian Church,
where I sing in the church choir, and help teach some of the adult
classes.

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 working with the clients. 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. This is
something people don’t usually hear, people who love their 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- pets, garden, rose beds etc. I enjoy
camping, fishing and warm weather vacations. I do love living in
Colorado; sun and warm weather are for me.
