OUR TEAM

Dr. Karla Hilliard

Originally an Ohio farm girl, Dr. Karla Hilliard graduated with honors from Texas A&M University. She worked for the next 3 years in the Pulmonary Pathology Lab at University of Texas’ Health Science Center at San Antonio, doing research on respirators for premature infants, before returning to TAMU’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She now lives in Houston with her husband, two children (one of whom was born prematurely and required a respirator), a dog, a cat and four guinea pigs.

Heather

Heather was born in Sioux City, Iowa but has been in Texas since 2008, where she started working as a veterinary technician. She joined the Cypresswood Animal Clinic crew in 2015. You may know her from our Hope for Heather journey where we raised enough money to have Heather receive stem cell treatment for her MS at the end of February 2017! Heather does not let her MS slow her down or stop her from being an amazing technician. She is an inspiration to everyone here and her struggles remind us to remain positive through all of life's curve balls. When Heather is not working she enjoys spending time with her 2 kids and watching Netflix. She also has 2 dogs and a cat.
