Paulina Platten, DVM, CVA

I grew up in the suburbs of Dallas, TX and at a young age found my happy place at a barn surrounded by horses. Yes, I was *that* "crazy horse girl" that everyone knows (and loves, right?). My love for all animals grew from there. I can't remember a time where I thought I would do anything other than attend Texas A&M Univerity to become a veterinarian. And the rest is history...

I completed my undergraduate studies at Auburn University with a degree in Animal Science in 2016 and then returned to my home state to complete veterinary school at Texas A&M University in 2020. Since then, I have developed a passion for integrative medicine and have completed certification as a veterinary acupuncturist. I also have an interest in herbal and food therapies. Additionally, I feel strongly about promoting wellness and preventative medicine to help all pet parents keep their fur babies happy and healthy for as long as possible. Being able to support and strengthen the human animal bond is one of the many reasons I love this job. 

I have the joy of being a treat dispenser to two dogs, Samford and Bunny, as well as one horse, Stone. When away from the clinic, you can usually find me in the saddle or out exploring with my canine companions.
