Leanne Diese, DVM

Dr. Diese joined us here at Ann Arbor Animal Hospital in June 2024 as a member of the primary care and surgical teams. She has been working in the veterinary field since she was an undergraduate in college, and received her DVM from The Ohio State University in 2017. She practiced in northeast Ohio and then Boston, MA prior to moving to Ann Arbor.

When asked her favorite things about being a veterinarian, she responded, “I love the huge variety of different things we get to do every day; no two days are the same. My favorite areas of practice are surgery and feline medicine—bring me all the kitties!” She lives with her husband, daughter, and three pets: a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Ember, an orange tabby cat named Oliver, and a black cat named Inky.

Dr. Diese is passionate about client education and preserving and strengthening the human-animal bond, saying, “I think it’s at the heart of everything we do in veterinary medicine.” She is Fear-Free certified and feels strongly about making veterinary visits as considerate and low-stress as possible.
