Dr. Leea Greenville:

Dr. Greenville was born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii where she graduated from Punahou School, now famous for also educating President Barack Obama. After getting a bad case of "Island Fever" she moved to Massachusetts where she received her BS in Animal Science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, graduating magna cum laude. She then continued her adventures in Fort Collins, Colorado where she earned her DVM degree from Colorado State University.

With a natural love of puzzles and problem solving, Dr. Greenville is always ready to tackle the most challenging of internal medicine cases.  She works hard to identify not only  the exact cause of your pet's symptoms, but also the best course of medical treatment.  She frequently consults with veterinary specialsts around the country to provide you with the most recent treatment advances. Her calm manner and gentle hand will put your pet at ease.  She strives to make your pet's appointment as stress free as possible--in fact, it's not unusual for her patients to not even notice that they're getting their shots!

Dr. Greenville practiced small animal medicine and surgery in Las Vegas, Nevada and Montgomery, Texas before moving to Austin in the summer of 2008. She practiced as a "relief veterinarian" at multiple clinics in Austin before finding a home here at Circle C Animal Hospital in October of 2008. Dr. Greenville lives in the Austin area with her husband, their three children, two dogs and two cats.

Dr. Greenville’s interests include internal medicine, surgery, and the human-animal bond. She is passionate about animals and remains an advocate for your pet’s health.
