Dr. Erin Brady
Medical Director
Colorado State University
Dr. Brady completed her undergraduate and veterinary training at Colorado State University. Her career began in a mixed-animal general practice, but Dr. Brady quickly found her true calling in emergency medicine. Joining VEG in 2022, her career grew from performing as an emergency doctor on the hospital floor to lead doctor, to medical director. Originally from Hudson Valley, NY she’s thrilled to be back in the area she loves. An avid hiker, Dr. Brady and her husband hit the trails with their two giant-breed dogs, and a fearless toddler who somehow keeps up!
