Meet Our Team

Dr. Mark Buvinghausen graduated from Texas A&M University in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2008 with magnum cum laude honors. He was active in many student interest clubs and honor societies throughout school with special interest in the emergency medicine/critical care field. His interest in veterinary medicine began in grade school where he was an active participant in the local 4H program for many years. During high school, he was a member of the FFA where he raised and showed many different species of animals. He worked as a veterinary technician for seven years prior to entering vet school. Upon graduation in 2008, Dr. Buvinghausen moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado where he practiced emergency and critical care medicine for two years. In 2010, he moved back home to Katy and has been practicing small animal medicine since. When he’s not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife Jessica, three sons, Cayden, Will, and Camden, and the family chocolate lab, Dakota. He is also an avid outdoorsman as well as a wildlife and habitat conservationist.

Jessica began work in the veterinary field as an after-hours emergency veterinary assistant in Colorado Springs, Colorado during college in 2006. She met Dr. B there in 2008 and the rest is history! After becoming a mom in 2010 and moving to Texas, she put her career on the sidelines and changed her role to preschool teacher so she could spend more time with her boys. She has since held a few technician jobs over the years at local veterinary hospitals in the Houston area and is beyond excited to own and manage the clinic with her husband, Dr. B. When she’s not working or chasing the kids, her hobbies include raising butterflies with the family, crochet projects, cycling, and volunteering at the boys' school. She is also a licensed real estate agent with Upside Real Estate. At night she can be found curled up under a blanket with the family cats, Jim Bean and Whiskey Tango, who always makes sure she is up bright and early each morning to run the family business! Their family is complete with a chocolate lab named Dakota Rose, two ferrets, Emmy and Daisy, and all the native lizards her boys bring home =)

Shea grew up in Katy, Texas and attended Katy High School. She has been with her husband, Kevin, for 26 years and together they have a beautiful daughter named Scarlette.

She graduated from Fulshear High School in 2022, and she hopes to continue her education in the veterinary field and become a technician assistant.
