Dr. Kileigh Speed, originally from Dothan, AL, joined our team of doctors in 2019 following graduation from Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Prior to this, she completed her undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Sciences, also from Auburn University. Dr. Speed is living her lifelong dream having wanted to be a veterinarian from the time she was three. Growing up, she spent much of her time gearing herself towards that goal, including working with us as a veterinary assistant prior to veterinary school.

Dr. Speed is married to another practicing veterinarian, Dr. Zac Hassler, whom she met during her undergraduate time at Auburn. Together they are living her other lifelong dream as they have two beautiful children and four dogs spanning small to large breed – All of which keep them on their toes. While away from the clinic, Dr. Speed enjoys watching movies, photography, drawing, and spending time with her friends and family.

Dr. Speed’s professional interests include preventive & emergency medicine, soft tissue surgery, and furthering the human-animal bond with thorough client communication and detailed patient care.
