About Us - Dr. Lee Breshears

[Audio] Spry Companions surgical center is led by the extraordinary talents and care of Dr. Nate Miller and Dr. Lee Breshears…….. Dr. Breshears was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He attended Colorado State University for his undergraduate studies and for his veterinary medical degree. He completed a general rotating small animal internship at the University of Minnesota and a surgical internship through Veterinary Specialists of Nevada. He completed his residency training at the University of Missouri-Columbia, as well as a one-year clinical instructorship that led to his board-certification by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2007. During his time in Missouri, he performed research in the Comparative Orthopaedic Laboratory at the University of Missouri-Columbia. This work focused on the characterization and treatment of osteoarthritis and cranial cruciate ligament injury and he received his PhD in Comparative Orthopaedics through the Area Pathobiology Program. He taught at Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand in 2008 and again in 2019. While teaching overseas, he appreciated the diversity of cases including the unique orthopedic injuries sustained in New Zealand's working dogs. In part, this interest in these working dogs as well as their injuries led to Dr. Breshears becoming board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation. Prior to becoming a founding partner in Spry Companions, Dr. Breshears was a practicing surgeon and partner in a large specialty hospital in the Denver metro area for more than a decade. This experience led to his desire to focus on challenging cases in orthopedics, minimally invasive fracture repair, advanced arthroscopy and angular limb deformities. Dr. Breshears holds an executive MBA from the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver and has a special understanding of how business practices, for better or worse, influence the efficiency and delivery of medical care. Dr. Breshears takes pride in patient-focused care which includes walking clients through all treatment possibilities for their pets, surgical and non-surgical alike..
