Dr. El
Dr. Lenher’s love of veterinary medicine began at the age of 13 when she started volunteering at Wickford Veterinary Clinic in Wickford RI. After receiving her undergraduate degree from the University of Rhode Island, Dr. Lenher went on to earn her doctorate from the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University in 2002. After graduation, Dr. Lenher spent a year in North Carolina for her internship. She then practiced in Charleston, S.C., before settling in the Richmond area. Her professional interests include client education, preventive medicine, sports medicine, ophthalmology and dentistry. She is a firm believer in fear free practice and tries incorporate a fear free approach to all her patient interactions.
When she is not in the clinic, Dr. Lenher enjoys riding her horse, showing the local hunter/jumper circuits and spending time with her family. She is an avid sports fan cheering for the teams she grew up with in Rhode Island, the New England Patriots, Red Sox and Bruins. She currently lives in Powhatan with her husband, children, and their rescued family members including dogs, cats, birds, farm animals and a horse or two.
