Dr. Brittany Padayachee earned her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in May 2025, after completing her Bachelor of Science at Arizona State University. She is originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, and enjoys spending time outdoors and engaging in creative crafts, particularly building miniature gardens. Her passion for veterinary medicine began in kindergarten, when she portrayed Jane Goodall in a school play—an experience that sparked a lifelong love for animals and conservation.

Dr. Padayachee has a strong interest in veterinary surgery and a special passion for ophthalmology. She also completed an externship at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, where she combined her love for medicine with a lifelong fascination with turtles. One of her biggest dreams is to swim with sea turtles.

Family is incredibly important to Dr. Padayachee. Her parents and extended family are from South Africa, while she and her two younger sisters are from the United States. Her family includes three dogs—Blaze the Bernese Mountain Dog, Juniper the Newfoundland, and Hazel the Bulldog. She is here with her partner, Sam, and his dog, Bo.

Dr. Padayachee looks forward to growing as a veterinarian alongside her clients and patients at Pima North. She is passionate about following pets and their families throughout every stage of life and is committed to providing the highest level of care through clear communication, compassion, and empathy.
