After graduation, Dr. Savicky was accepted into Veterinary School at Colorado State University, graduating with a DVM degree in 2007.

During his residency, Dr. Savicky was exposed to a high volume of state-of-the-art orthopedic, soft tissue, and neurologic surgical procedures in small animals.

For over a decade, Dr. Savicky has dedicated himself to learning, practicing, and teaching advanced veterinary surgical procedures. He has published articles in peer-reviewed literature researching risks for excessive tibial plateau angle, comparing treatment options in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament injuries, urinary bladder reconstruction, and outcomes following removal of infected TPLO implants. He has mentored numerous interns and specialty interns and helped guide them to achieve their desired goals. Dr. Savicky has continued to master his profession with advanced training in stem cell therapy, tracheal stenting, plastic/reconstructive surgery, PRP therapy, minimally invasive surgery (arthroscopy and laparoscopy), and total hip replacement.

When not at work, Dr. Savicky enjoys time with his Boarder Collie, Oreo, and two cats, Steve and Maggie. Dr. Savicky also has a passion for travel, sports, and more recently scuba diving.
