Our Staff

We're proud of the close family relationship we have with our staff. Everyone here works closely together as a team. Dr. Anthony Holcomb is TOP-NOTCH and cares for your pets as if a part of our own family but we couldn't do it without the teamwork of the staff!

We hold weekly 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 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 graduated 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".
