Currently, Dr. Leestma's family includes her husband, 3 children, Kora, Korbin and Kallen, 3 dogs, Cooper, Newby, and Kaia, Boone the "retired" clinic cat, a few chickens, and a bunch of fish. Her favorite thing about veterinary medicine is building relationships with clients and their pets to keep both happy and healthy.
