Emily Lebiedz, B.S., DVM

After graduating high school she went on to major in Animal Science at UMASS Amherst. While there she developed a love for riding horses, and became a certified riding instructor. During summer breaks she worked at the school’s horse farm as well as milking 500 cows at a local dairy farm. She went on to Tufts Veterinary School and graduated in 1997.

Emily’s first job after graduation was at Suffolk Downs as one of the track vets. Inspecting all the horses for the day’s races and making sure both horses and jockey were safe on the track was an interesting entrance to the profession. Emily started at Edgefield in 1998. For the first several years she split her time between our horse practice and our small animal hospital. Although she loves both aspects of practice, horse work with its erratic schedule does not lend itself well to family life and motherhood. Emily is a member of the AVMA and NHVMA. (Source)
