Meet the veterinarians
About Dr. Bianca Le
I grew up in a slightly rural area near New Orleans. I spent most of my childhood outdoors, picking satsumas from our orchard or running around with my siblings. On long summer days, we’d tag along with my parents to the seafood dock they managed. I always looked forward to petting the stray dogs that would greet us at the entrance. I wanted to help them, but I didn’t know how.
Volunteering at an animal shelter during high school helped me realize I could have a career dedicated to helping animals as a veterinarian. I went on to attend Louisiana State University for my undergraduate and veterinary education.
During the COVID-19 era of curbside service and limited face-to-face interactions, I worked at a fast-paced animal hospital in Houston. Per protocol, pet owners were allowed in the building only for euthanasia appointments. This highlighted the importance of comfort and companionship during those final moments. Saying goodbye is one of the most difficult things for any pet parent to experience, but a peaceful passing is the greatest gift we can provide. I became a veterinarian to make a difference for pets and people. Working in end-of-life care means that I can make a lasting impact on the human-animal bond.
When I was young, our family dog was a sweet, affectionate Pomeranian named Mimi. One day, Mimi went missing. Despite our efforts, we were unable to find her. Losing Mimi gave me an understanding of grief without closure. I never got the chance to say goodbye. Considering this experience, I am honored to help pet parents cherish their pet’s final moments in the comfort and privacy of their homes.
Outside of my work with Lap of Love, I provide veterinary relief services for my colleagues. My husband and I are glad to reside, once again, in our hometown, surrounded by family and our two dogs, Primrose and Tater Tot. When I’m not caring for pets and pet parents, I enjoy traveling, reading, and yoga. I especially love spending time in nature, whether I’m taking a hike in the mountains or enjoying a sunset picnic.
About Dr. Amy Stanton
I was born in Iowa, and grew up in several different states before landing in the exciting city of New Orleans, Louisiana. As a child, I always knew I was destined to help animals — I remember drawing pictures of my caretaking abilities in kindergarten. Originally, I pursued the veterinary technician career path, getting my associate’s degree in Illinois, and then my license to become a credentialed veterinary technician. I learned some of my most valuable skills in vet tech school as being a veterinary nurse not only helped me get into veterinary school at Louisiana State University, but also enhanced my veterinary skillset.
Since graduating from veterinary school, I’ve focused primarily on dogs, cats, and some small mammals. I love being able to celebrate the human-animal bond and make a difference in the lives of pets and their families. In general practice, I had the ability to focus on many different aspects of care to provide the best life possible for pets.
Being part of Lap of Love allows me to provide comfort and peace to pets and their families at a genuinely tough moment, ensuring that they are not alone through this delicate time. As a veterinary technician, I once assisted a veterinarian with the euthanasia of an older dog. The owner was an elderly woman who had driven herself to the appointment. After her beloved companion was euthanized, she was distraught, and no one on our team wanted her to drive herself home. I volunteered to drive her home and I was so grateful I could be there for her in that moment. That helped cement my desire to provide compassion and support during such difficult times for pets and their families.
