Dr. Julia Niemann was born and raised in Kentucky. She earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Agriculture from Eastern Kentucky University prior to attending NC State College of Veterinary Medicine. During her studies, Dr. Niemann worked in both small and large animal general practice, in addition to an equine referral center. 

Upon graduation, Dr. Niemann completed an accelerated ER internship at a private small animal emergency and specialty center in her hometown of Louisville, KY. As one of the only specialty centers in the area, Dr. Niemann was exposed to a large and diverse caseload early in her career. After completing the internship, she went on to work full time as an overnight emergency clinician. Passions of hers include diagnostic imaging (specifically Global FAST scan ultrasound), trauma stabilization and ICU case management. 

Dr. Niemann traded in overnights to join the East Springs Animal Hospital team as an Urgent Care clinician. She looks forward to providing compassionate care during your pet’s urgent time of need, while also fostering long term relationships with her furry patients! When not working, you can find Dr. Niemann trail running, traveling, hanging out at a drop zone, or spending time outdoors with her three rescue dogs- Troy, Bones and Chloe.
