Timothy Lescun

BVSc, MS, PhD, DACVS

Dr. Lescun was a calming presence during my residency, and I would not be where I am today without his encouragement.

- Mackenzie Adams, DVM, DACVS (Large Animal)

Dr. Lescun is a quiet surgeon, but he will say something if it is needed. He is a great teacher and lets you explore situations on your own before stepping in.

- Sabrina Brounts, DVM, MS, PhD, DACVS (Large Animal)

Dr. Timothy Lescun has helped me to become the veterinarian, surgeon, and person who I am today. He has done that for me and countless others throughout his years of service to our profession.

- Michael Fugaro, VMD, DACVS

Dr. Lescun approaches every situation in a thoughtful and logical way. He continuously teaches house officers and residents to take time to think while also being efficient. He also clearly cares deeply about each of his trainees. He wants to see all of them succeed/be the best they can be, and he will do anything he can to help that happen.

Dr. Lescun has been my mentor for many years – throughout my residency, PhD, and in many aspects of life. I am truly grateful. Thank you!

Dr. Lescun is dedicated and meticulous in his many roles; a surgeon, a scientist, a teacher, and a mentor. It is hard to put into words all that I have learned from him. I feel lucky to call him a friend as well as a mentor.

The most patient, kind mentor who has quietly contributed so much to the profession and I am honored to consider him both a mentor and a friend.

- Karine Pader, DVM, MS, DACVS (Large Animal)

Dr. Lescun has mentored me as an early career surgeon. He is very patient and supportive – he seems to have the knack for knowing when to step in, when to make an insightful comment, and when to let his mentees proceed on their own. There are many skilled surgeons in the world that have been molded by his kind mentorship.

- Michelle Tucker, DVM, DACVS (Large Animal)

Dr. Lescun has always been a supporter of all students, residents, and young surgeons. He will always make time to answer a question, consult on a case, or give you general advice on a subject.

- Sarah Waxman, DVM, MS, DACVS (Large Animal)

Dr. Lescun has been an inspiration and mentor throughout my career. He is always willing to give advice when needed.
