Compassionate Care Rooted in Experience and Love for Animals
After vet school, I completed a Small Animal Rotating Internship at Nashville Veterinary Specialists and 24-Hour Emergency Hospital. This intensive training helped me grow as a clinician and deepened my experience in emergency medicine, internal medicine, surgery, and more.
GET TO KNOW Dr. Akila Bryant
Hi, I’m Dr. Akila Bryant, a veterinarian with a passion for compassionate care, mentorship, and community service. I began my journey at Tuskegee University, where I earned my undergraduate degree in Animal and Poultry Sciences. From there, I pursued my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Purdue University, where I was honored to receive the G. Edward Cummins Award for Exemplary Compassionate Care for Animals and Clients—a recognition that reflects my deep commitment to both pets and the people who love them.
Beyond clinical practice, I’m passionate about mentorship and empowering the next generation. While in vet school, I worked closely with students from kindergarten all the way through college, helping spark their interest in science and veterinary medicine. I believe in the power of education and the importance of showing young people what’s possible when they follow their dreams.
Whether I’m treating a patient, mentoring a student, or giving back to my community, my goal is always the same: to serve with compassion, care, and purpose.
