After completing a one-year rotating internship at VCA Sacramento Veterinary Referral Center in 2013, Dr. Lehmann ventured to Belize in Central America spending just over a year caring for a variety of different creatures. Coming back to the States, she spent four years in general practice before deciding emergency medicine was where she needed to be. She embraces the variety of cases that emergency medicine provides, especially trauma and wound repair. Dr. Lehmann pays strong attention to the human-animal bond with each case she sees. She greatly values finding the right plan for each family and patient she takes care of.
When not working in the emergency department saving lives, Dr. Lehmann does volunteer and shelter work both here and abroad. She enjoys scuba diving and the travel that brings, baking and hiking. Dr. Lehmann has four family dogs, mostly adopted through work situations, and one tortoise.
