Cherokee Animal Clinic

Our Staff


We're proud of the close family relationship we have with our staff. Everyone here works closely together as a team. Our doctors are TOP-NOTCH and care for your pets as part of our family. Go to each page for Dr. Anthony Holcomb and Dr. Justin Novak to learn more about them but we couldn't do it without the teamwork of the staff!

We hold monthly staff training meetings besides the daily training in the clinic and each one goes to seminars and is taking the Texas Veterinary Medical Association's test for Certified Veterinary Assistant (*CVA).

Come on in and meet the folks that make it work!

Chris
Chris Holcomb

Chris is the wife of Dr. Anthony, aka 'Mrs. Dr. Holcomb'. She and Anthony have been married since July 12, 1986. They have been together through thick and thin, including undergraduate studies and Veterinary School. They have 2 children..Ashley, who is graduating May 2008 from Texas A&M with a math degree and Amy is in Junior High and has learned to be a big help in the clinic - surgery is her favorite. Many clients have watched these girls grow up in the clinic over the last 15 years. Some will remember holding Amy at the old clinic as a tiny baby. Chris says that, "Anthony runs the medicine side and I run the business side". She keeps it all running together smooth as the "air traffic controller".
