EMERGENCY VETS AND URGENT CARE IN Tucson, AZ
welcome to VEG Oro Valley!

Dr. Lesley Cohen
Medical Director
Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine
Originally from Florida, Dr. Cohen found a sense of home on the west coast after graduating from Oregon State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She worked as a small animal emergency veterinarian in the Willamette Valley for three years before joining VEG in 2024. She fell in love with Tucson as a true diamond in the rough of the Sonoran Desert, and appreciates the landscape, culture, and community it has to offer. She believes deeply in the importance of empathy during medical emergencies and enjoys coaching fellow doctors through challenging cases and surgery. Her favorite VEG core value is creating meaningful moments for pets, customers, and her team through medical excellence, compassion, and unexpected acts of hospitality. Outside the hospital, Dr. Cohen and her husband, share their home with three cats, and an ever-growing collection of houseplants.
