Dr. William Cole

DVM, Internal Medicine

Dr. Billy Cole graduated from Cornell University in New York (where he grew up on Long Island) in 2008 with a B.S. in Animal Science.  He went on to attend Kansas State University where he earned his DVM in 2015.  He continued his training with a rotating internship at VCA VREC and Shoreline in Norwalk & Shelton, CT before moving to the west coast the first time for a specialty internship at Animal Specialty Group in Los Angeles.  He returned to the midwest for his residency at the Ohio State University, but was drawn back to sunny SoCal where he has worked at several specialty hospitals and done some in-home end-of-life care working with Lap of Love.  He is excited to begin his next adventure staying in California just a bit further north by joining Lenity to reinstate our Internal Medicine Service.

Dr. Cole’s professional interests include endocrinology, gastroenterology, nutrition, endoscopic procedures and minimally invasive interventions but really he enjoys all things internal medicine/veterinary medicine as long as he gets to stay out of the operating room.  In his free time he likes to spend time with his dogs Luna, Remus & Myrtle (all named after Harry Potter characters), and his nieces and nephews back on the east coast. He is a plant/gardening enthusiast as well as a crocheter.  He also likes to dedicate some of his free time to working with charities such as The Trevor Project, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles, (BBBSLA) National Alliacne on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
