Meet Our Doctors
dR. TIMOTHY BILLS, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Tim developed a love for animals at an early age, which was reinforced at age seven when he would occasionally “run away” (to the front of the neighborhood), waiting for his mom to get home. All the dogs in his rural neighborhood followed and joined in his solitude to lend their support. Tim went on to graduate from St. George’s University in 2015 after completing his clinical year at the University of Florida. Tim has been a practicing small animal veterinarian in Colorado since 2016. His professional interests include soft tissue surgery, internal medicine, and dermatology.
Outside of being a veterinarian, Tim loves everything that Colorado has to offer and enjoys exploring the mountains, hiking, and skiing. He also enjoys seeing live music and keeping up with the Avs, Nuggets, Rockies, and other sports. Tim loves his work and caring for the pets that come through the door!
Dr. Jeremy Hardy, DVM

Meet Our Staff
Sonya
Veterinary Assistant
I have lived in Colorado my whole life. I have had many different career paths I have explored. I’m a former firefighter, medical assistant, traveling phlebotomist, and veterinary assistant. I graduated from ABC College in California for veterinary assisting in 2019. During the pandemic, I worked as a traveling medical assistant administering the first rounds of covid vaccines. My true passion is animals so I found myself back in the veterinary world. I joined the Foothills team in July 2022. In my spare time, I enjoy fishing, camping, rebuilding old cars, and spending time with my dog Posiedan.
Eva
Certified Veterinary Technician
I’m a Colorado local, born and raised in Denver but for the last 20 years, I’ve lived in Sunny San Diego which I consider my second home.
I have a degree in Animal Health Technology from San Diego Mesa College and have worked in small animal practices, specialty clinics, and have interned at the famous San Diego Zoo, where I worked with amazing people and got to see so many awesome animals, including the adorable pandas!
After a break from work to raise my daughter, I’m so happy to be back in Colorado working as a CVT. I have seen my love of animals transfer to my daughter and she is thrilled that I am a “puppy nurse” and get to wear pajamas to work.
