Welcome to Aspen Park Vet Hospital! I'm Dr. Jena Questen. Most people call me DrQ.

I'm so glad you're here because, like me, you believe your pets are part of the family. As a holistic vet and THE life coach for people with pets, my mission is to provide compassionate and accessible care to help your animal companions live happier, healthier, and longer lives. And of course, to make sure you and your animals have that movie magic bond you long for.

For over 40 years, Aspen Park Vet Hospital has been committed to providing the highest quality care to our patients in and around the Conifer Colorado area. We offer a wide range of traditional services, like wellness exams, vaccines and surgery, and also innovative, holistic and integrative options like acupuncture, herbal remedies, and therapeutic laser treatments.

As the first fish hospital in Colorado, we also have a special passion for our finned friends, and I am proud to be a certified aquatic veterinarian (CertAqV). I'm also a certified Professional Animal Trainer and Veterinary Acupuncturist. And I'm proud and honored to be the SBA's 2022 Colorado Small Business Person of the Year.

At Aspen Park Vet Hospital, we support your right to determine what’s best for you and your pet, with no pressure. I invite you to explore our site to learn more about how we can help your beloved animals thrive and how we can help you create that movie magic bond you've always dreamed of.

Holistic Medicine for Your Pets

Dr. H.C. "Doc" Gurney, Jr. (1930-2023)
​Founder, Aspen Park Vet Hospital

The APVH team

DrQ at the ResqRanch

​Aspen Park Veterinary Hospital was established by Dr. H.C. “Doc” Gurney, Jr. (1930-2023) over 40 years ago. Doc Gurney developed a wide reaching reputation for doing everything possible to help his patients. He believed in treating the whole animal, and was a pioneer in the fusion of eastern medicine with traditional western veterinary practices. Doc respected the power of the bond formed between an animal and their people, and he always kept that in mind with all he did.

APVH, now led by holistic Veterinarian Dr. Jena Questen (DrQ), is the continuation of Doc Gurney’s innovative work and commitment to animal welfare. DrQ is a Certified Aquatic Veterinarian, a Certified Professional Animal Trainer, and former President of the World Aquatic Veterinary Medical Association. She is also certified in acupuncture, herbal remedies, and a variety of eastern medicine practices. When she's not providing care to pets, you can find DrQ running the ResqRanch, a 501c3 nonprofit animal sanctuary specializing in the rescue of wild mustangs and off track thoroughbreds.

NOT FEELING THE LOVE from your old vet?

It's Not a Crime to Want the Best!

right-2.png


Sound Like Your Old Vet?

If you're tired of being treated like an appointment slot, rather than a person, come see us!

  • Do you feel like... your pet gets treated like they're an invoice rather than a beautiful soul seeking care?
  • Does it seem... your old vet immediately throws medications at the problem, without considering other options?
  • Are you frustrated that... every time something is wrong, your old vet wants to do lots of expensive imaging and testing?
  • And when it comes down to it, do you... feel like your pets are just NOT getting the very best in care, despite the high costs?

Dr. Q and her amazing staff got my dog Kozmo in with no notice when we were returning from a camping trip where he tore a deep gash in is right leg. The courtesy to work him in late in the afternoon, provide such amazing care, clean him up and staple the wound got us all home safe and sound! Dr Q. also set us up with a cone-of-shame, antibiotics, probiotics, and pain relievers. Kozmo is doing GREAT, he's getting used to the cone and the wound is healing BEAUTIFULLY. Thank you Aspen Park Vet Hospital for caring for animals and people so well. We are grateful we found you!​

Fantastic experience yet again with Dr.Q. So reassured every time we call or visit. Our family members are lovingly taken care of and we really appreciate the very low stress environment. Thank you for everything, Dr. Q!

I have been taking my cat, Katy, to see Dr. Q for years. Last December, Katy presented with some health concerns and I was able to get an appointment very quickly. Dr. Q and her staff have been amazing at helping me navigate the health concerns with Katy! At each appointment, Dr. Q has been great at explaining everything to me and making sure my questions are answered! In between appointments, the staff has also been very responsive if I have questions or concerns come up! Thank you Dr. Q and staff! Katy and I are very grateful for all the support and help!​​

I just wanted to send over a quick note to thank Dr. Questen and team for all the help with our dog Lily.

Our phone consultations made all the difference and gave me the confidence to have Lily's teeth procedure done. She finally had her procedure December 3rd and recovered very nicely. This is such a relief and a huge weight off our shoulders, and we couldn't have done it without you. The pancreatic enzymes and diet changes you suggested completely cleared up the digestive issues she was having, and she's just doing so well now.

​​​Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have made such a difference in our lives and the health of our pup!
