Leigh WaltersChief of Staff
Hello there, my name is Dr. Leigh Ann Walters. I recently moved to Texas, and I am very excited to be a member of the Vetsavers team!

I worked as a medical director and associate veterinarian in Nevada for several years before finding my new home here in Lewisville. I attended West Virginia University where I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor of science in 2001 and received my DVM degree from Tuskegee University in 2006.

My professional interests include nutrition, internal medicine, oncology, pediatrics, and geriatrics. I subscribe to the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” I value restorative and preventative medicine as a means to enhance longevity and improve quality of life.

Outside of work, I am happily married and enjoy spending time with my family and pets. My hobbies include writing, nature, and travel.

I look forward to meeting you and your pet very soon!

Emelie KarlssonDVM
Hello, I’m Dr. Karlsson!

I was born and raised in a very small town in Sweden and grew up with dogs, cats, goats and horses. I was always fascinated with American culture so I moved to the U.S. after high school for my undergraduate degree, and then returned to Europe for veterinary school a few years later. I graduated from the University of Veterinary Medicine, Budapest with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2017. After graduation I completed the Educational Commission for Foreign Graduates (ECFVG) and received my American veterinary license in 2019. I love all animals but have a special place in my heart for cats and dogs. I have a 9-year-old Ragdoll cat named Cocos who you might have seen roaming around the clinic or napping on the bookshelves. I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine, but my special interests are preventative and internal medicine.

I feel very fortunate to be part of the Vetsavers team and I am so excited to meet you and your pet. I look forward to taking care of your pets with compassion, dedication and a whole lot of love.

Hello, I’m Dr. Vuong! I was born in Houston, Texas, and I grew up in Sugar Land. I moved to Dallas for my undergraduate degree at UT Dallas, and it’s always called me back. I graduated a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University in 2022, then came back to Dallas to practice veterinary medicine.

My professional interests include internal medicine, especially neurology and endocrinology. My favorite animals are my dog, Summer, and my cat, Mochi. In my free time, I like do tabletop and board gaming, and learning new skills.

I’m excited to meet you and your pet, and I can’t wait to care for them at Vetsavers!

Hello, I’m Dr. Courtney Cobb! I grew up in Mansfield, Texas where I developed a deep love for animals. I received my undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University and in 2022 graduated from St. George’s University in Grenada with my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Vetsavers team and look forward to helping keep your pets happy and healthy! I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine but have a special interest in preventative care, internal medicine, and surgery.

Howdy, I’m Dr. Cordova! I was born and raised in El Paso, TX, then moved up to the Panhandle to begin my veterinary educational journey. I obtained undergraduate and master’s degrees from Texas Tech University in 2018 and 2020, respectively, and obtained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University in 2024.

Within veterinary medicine, I am most enthusiastic about preventive care, surgery, and shelter medicine. As a Spanish-speaker, I’m very passionate about serving the Spanish-speaking community and making veterinary caremore accessible to them and their pets. Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy going to the movies, concerts, and collecting vinyl figures. Some of my favorite things are Taylor Swift, the Scarlet Witch, and my two dogs, Addie and Chester!

I’m very excited to be a part of the Vetsavers team! I look forward to helping promote the human-animal bond by providing quality care to you and your pets!

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I am the Senior Hospital Manager. Growing up my family always had a variety of pets, so it is no surprise I chose helping pets and their pet parents as my lifelong profession. I started out as a Veterinary Technician over 20 years ago and have been in a management position for about 10-15 years. I have a true passion for helping animals and veterinary medicine.

When I am not working, my husband and I enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors. We have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish. We also enjoy spending time with friends/family; cooking, gardening, listening to live music and watching our favorite sports teams. Go Rangers and Cowboys!!

I look forward to meeting you and your pets during your visit to Vetsavers Pet Hospital.

Well, hello there! I’m Sadi and I always enjoy coming into work and getting to meet and see all the different pets. I have two dogs and two cats. Charlie and Basil are dogs. The two cats are Prince and Ginger. They are older but still a lot of fun. When I am not at work, I enjoy reading, draw and doodle, and hope to one day publish a book.

Kacy
KacyClient Services
Hello! My name is Kacy and I graduated from Texas A&M with a BS in Genetics. I have two cats named Willis and Elijah and a dog named Ryder – I adore them all. They are my sweet boys.  In my time outside the clinic, I enjoy reading and watching scary movies regardless of whether or not it’s Halloween. I truly
believe Hoarders is the greatest show ever produced and you will not change my mind. My favorite food is a warm German pretzel and my life would not be complete without the occasional Vanilla Coke from Sonic/Starbucks Pink Drink.

The best part of my job is meeting everyone’s wonderful pets and watching the puppies and kittens grow!
