Overview
Welcome to Fillmore Veterinary Hospital, where your pet’s health and happiness come first. As a privately owned animal hospital in Colorado Springs, we provide comprehensive veterinary care with the personal touch that only a local clinic can offer
Dr. Cor grew up on a farm in southern Wisconsin in a Dutch immigrant family where he developed a love for animals, whether they be pets or livestock. Combining his passion for animals with a love and amazement for science, being a veterinarian was a goal from early high school. After graduating from Dordt University in NW Iowa, he attended Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in May 1987. Along the way he met his wife Brenda and together they moved to Colorado Springs. He joined Dr. Merle Watts, the founder of Fillmore Veterinary Hospital, and bought the practice 18 months later. The hospital grew from a 1 doctor practice to 3-4 doctors at a time. Dr. Hensen bought FVH from Dr. Cor in November 2024 and he continues to enjoy working part-time, taking care of pets of long time clients, some even spanning several generations within the same family!
