BANKS VETERINARY CLINIC OF BEAUMONT - Key Persons
Pets have always played a huge role in Dr. Huskey's life, so it was only natural for him to have an affinity for animals and helping them live a long and happy life. He was born in Paducah, but moved to Lexington while he was in middle school. He attended the University of Kentucky for his undergraduate degree and then went on to attend Auburn for veterinary school. He missed Lexington, so he returned home to practice veterinary medicine. Dr. Huskey shares his home with Denali, a Shepherd mix he adopted during his first year of vet school. She's cuddly, high energy, and loves everyone. In his spare time, Dr. Huskey enjoys watching sports (football, basketball, UK athletics), working out, taking Denali on long walks, cooking, and playing video games.

Pets are members of the family. They give us endless love, are excited to see us when we come home, and are sad to see us leave. They give the most altruistic form of love.
When I was a little girl, I remember telling my mom that the only thing our pets did wrong was not live long enough. I am passionate about keeping a pet as a healthy member of the family and giving them a voice. This means staying on top of all current veterinary recommendations and being proactive with their care.
My primary interests as a veterinarian include internal medicine, surgery, dermatology and allergies, ultrasound, and geriatric wellness care.
When I'm not working, I enjoy cheering on my boys with their various sports, being involved with their school, making memories with my family at Herrington Lake, and cooking and baking.
