Originally from New York, Dr. Lehman grew up in a family of doctors and nurses but his passion for medicine would take a different path. After completing veterinary school on the beautiful island of St Kitts, he returned to the states to complete his clinical training, and developed an interest in emergency and critical care medicine. His love of the outdoors brought him to Colorado. He is the proud father of two amazing children and two rambunctious rescue dogs!

Did you know?
VEG Edgewater is a VEG Blood Bank location, which provides blood for canines. These donations help save the lives of dogs in need of transfusions. The blood we store can be available to a VEG hospital or shared with a local Edgewater veterinarian. It’s one more way VEG can give back to the community. You can help by signing up your dog to be a blood donor. Find out more or ask one of our VEGgies about the VEG Blood Bank.
