Andrea Trujillo, DVM - co-founder

Dr. Andrea Trujillo is from Las Vegas, NM, and went to vet school at Colorado State University. She returned to New Mexico after veterinary school and practiced at the same hospital in Santa Fe for just over 20 years. Since December of 2023 she has been a part of a practice in Rio Rancho that focuses on internal and regenerative medicine. 

Dr. Trujillo loves the mystery of internal medicine and the fine art of soft tissue surgery.  It is respect for the human animal bond and the support and development of her colleagues that keeps her passionate about veterinary medicine.  

Dr. Trujillo figured out early in life that she enjoyed using her plastic doctor toys on her stuffed animals rather than her dolls. When she was 9 years old, her allergist told her she’d never be a veterinarian because of severe allergies and asthma. 

Many allergy injections, inhalers and antihistamines later, she graduated from Colorado State University as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.  

During her time as a veterinarian she has had the privilege of being an associate, mentor, preceptor, manager and medical director. She is honored to add co- founder of Turquoise Trail Veterinary Urgent Care to her list of career roles.

In her spare time she enjoys reading novels, managing her husband’s art business and collecting houseplants. She also loves to spend time gathering her extended family and traveling with her husband and son. She has a single eyed “flug” (fluffy pug) named Dart. 

Dr. Trujillo is proud to have been a part of the Veterinary Community in Santa Fe for the last 20 years. . She looks forward to returning to work with the people, pets and professionals of Santa Fe, Rio Rancho and Northern New Mexico.
