Amanda Burdette is from Westchester, NY and moved to Colorado in 1999. She completed her undergraduate degree at Colgate University, spent two years at the University of Colorado Boulder, and then received her DVM from Colorado State University. She has experience in home hospice and euthanasia care, and quality of life for her patients is at the heart of her practice. She utilizes fear-free techniques, pain management, and preventive medicines with the goal of seeing patients living their best lives. Outside of the hospital, Dr. Burdette spends her time with her husband, two teenagers, dog Ginger, and cats Theo and Sonny. They like to hike and ski together as a family. On her own time, Dr. Burdette reads, trail runs, bakes, cooks, and tells herself to restart her yoga practice [citation].
