Meet Murray
Our Doctors
Gary Edlin, Owner, DVM
This is Dr. Edlin the owner of the hospital and lead veterinarian, but I just call him dad (or sometimes “The Food Guy”). He’s a Louisville native who graduated from Eastern High School. When he decided people and their pets were his passion, he set his sights on Auburn University…
Allison Edwards, DVM
Dr. Edwards grew up in a small town in Lincoln County where she began her love of veterinary medicine by taking care of farm animals, cats and dogs, and occasionally injured wildlife. She then received a B.S. in Biology from the University of Kentucky and earned her DVM from the…
Lindsay Miller, DVM
Here’s another amazing veterinarian, Dr. Miller. She graduated from DePauw University (not to be confused with De Paw University, my alma mater) with a degree in Biology and French. Did you know that “Tu es un si bon chein” is French for “You are such a good dog”? Anyway, Dr.…
Isaac Croudep, DVM
Dr Croudep is the newest doctor to join to the East Louisville Animal Hospital family. You may also hear him called “Dr. Isaac” by me and the rest of the team. It was his bond with his childhood puppy, Tyson, that gave him the inspiration to become a veterinarian, and…
Maggie Micciche, DVM
Like me, Dr. Micciche is a Kentucky native—she was born and raised in Lexington and loved animals from an early age. Her grandparents had a farm and lucky for us, she always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. She received her B.S. in Agriculture Biotechnology from the University of Kentucky, and…
Our Staff
Andrea Bray, Client Care Representative
Andrea is one of our client care representatives who not only makes sure our client experience is exceptional—and she’s also one of the team members who has the honor of seeing that I get fed and pottied when I’m here at the hospital. Even when it’s cold or raining, she…
Kara Hammond, Technician
This is Kara, one of our veterinary technicians. Kara’s superpower is her ability to hit the highest octave to make puppies piddle when she squeals with excitement. It’s true, she’s made me piddle many times (I would have been embarrassed if I wasn’t a dog!). She graduated from Spaulding University…
Kari Hicks, Technician
Kari is a veterinary technician at East Louisville Animal Hospital and has more than nine years of experience in the veterinary field! She was born and raised in Lapeer, Michigan and knew she wanted to work with animals after her dog had knee surgery and she had to spend her…
Mary Keppner, Technician and Client Care Representative
Mary is my one of my besties and takes great care of me when I’m at the front desk—even when I get a little too excited and jump up on the counter and clear out her workspace! She has more than 20 years of vet tech experience and has worked…
Charlyn Leffew, Practice Manager
You might say Charlyn, the Practice Manager, is my work-wife, ‘cause we share an office and end up spending lots of time together. She is tasked with leading the team and ensuring they provide the highest level of client service possible. With more than 14 years of experience in the…
Christina Hensley, Client Care Representative
Christina is another one of our awesome client care representatives who sees to my comfort and happiness while I’m helping at the front desk. She doesn’t even seem to mind stepping over me to get her work done! Christina joined East Louisville Animal Hospital in 2019 with several years of…
Ellen McBride, Technician
Meet our veterinary technician Ellen! She has more than 26 years of experience in the veterinary field and has done some amazing things in her career, including working with seals at the Marine Mammal Rehab Center in San Francisco and with a llama named Major Tom. Ellen has been here…
Holly Perry, LVT
This is Holly, a licensed veterinary technician here at East Louisville Animal Hospital. She’s from a small town in Eastern Kentucky about 10 minutes from the Red River Gorge. She graduated from MSU learning about pups just like me (and other animals, but there’s no dog quite “like” me!). Holly…
Joseph Voll, Pharmacy Technician
If you’ve been coming to our hospital for any length of time, you probably know Joe. He’s been here on staff for more than 21 years—that’s more than a century in dog years! He makes sure all the pets we see get their medications filled and refilled and runs our…
Haylie Henson, Technician
Haylie joined us in 2019 as a veterinary assistant student at Animal Behavior College. Her love and compassion for animals lead her to seek a career in the veterinary field, and while she is completing her certificate requirements, she is also learning on the job with our technician team. I…
Corey Phelps, Technician and Client Care Representative
Meet our newest team member, Corey who comes to us from Owensboro, KY. Corey has always aspired to care for animals and has more than nine years of veterinary experience, so working at East Louisville Animal Hospital was the perfect choice! When she’s not assisting the doctors, Corey hunts me…
Robbie Perkins, Technician and Client Care Representative
Meet Robbie, who joined us in 2019 and has been on the fast track in client care, patient care and Murray care! He helps make sure I get what I need, whether it’s breakfast, a potty break or toy to demolish. Otherwise, you’ll find him at our front desk as…
