Leah Hadskey, DVM

“I have wanted to be a veterinarian from a very young age. One of my favorite childhood photos is me on career day in kindergarten wearing scrubs and a toy stethoscope carrying a stuffed tiger. There is truly nothing more beautiful than the human-animal bond and I want to do my part in keeping that alive.”

Why did you become a vet?

I have wanted to be a veterinarian from a very young age. One of my favorite childhood photos is me on career day in kindergarten wearing scrubs and a toy stethoscope carrying a stuffed tiger. There is truly nothing more beautiful than the human-animal bond and I want to do my part in keeping that alive.

What do you enjoy about your job?

I love the diversity of veterinary medicine! You get to be a dermatologist, internist, surgeon, you name it, all in one! There is truly never a dull moment in our profession and that’s what makes it so exciting and a joy every single day.

Education

Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Mississippi State University
DVM from Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine

What do you love most about living in Memphis?

Memphis has so much to offer to their residents. I love always having great sites to see and activities right outside my front door. My favorites include seeing a show at the Orpheum Theatre, admiring the animals at the Memphis zoo and trying all the delicious food Memphis has to offer!

What secret talent do you wish that you had?

I would love to have x-ray vision! It would really come in handy in my career!
