Dr. Steven V. Colburn feels that “New technology in the fields of reproduction, joint therapy, and lameness diagnosis make the future of veterinary medicine extremely exciting.” He finds motivation in the challenges these problems present, and satisfaction in correcting them. After attending UC Davis to earn his BS in Animal Science, and DVM degree in 1984, Dr Colburn settled in Fallbrook with his wife, Karen. The country town was an ideal location for raising their four children. Jeanelle (23) graduated with a BA in Communication from Cal State San Marcos, Garrett (21) recently got his degree in Business from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Ashley (20) is attending school at Colorado State and Wade (15) is a Freshman at Fallbrook High School. Whether at work or play, the Colburns are drawn to the outdoors. Leisure pursuits include hunting, fishing and sports in general. Dr. Colburn is the founder of what is now Creekside Veterinary Service. His dedication to the practice and commitment to continuous education has proven to be a winning combination for animals and their owners. Another factor that enhances the success of Creekside is the value the doctors put on their clients. In the words of Dr. Colburn, “The human relationships that develop between owners and their veterinarians are just as important to me as the animal care responsibilities.”
