Please Welcome Dr. Emma Hawkins to the Countryside Family!

Dr. Emma Hawkins grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and has wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age. She received her Bachelor's in Animal Science in 2020 and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2024 both from Kansas State University. While pursuing her Bachelor's degree she began working at the Kansas State dairy farm where her love and interest for working with dairy cows began. Since then this interest has continued to grow alongside her passion for helping all other creatures as well.

During her free time she enjoys reading, hiking, paddle boarding and spending as much time outdoors as possible. She is very excited to be a mixed animal veterinarian at Countryside and is so happy to become a part of this great community. She is looking forward to working with and meeting everyone in the area!
