She received her DVM from Texas A&M University in 2003 making her a rare Longhorn/Aggie combo. While there, she explored many facets of veterinary medicine, including doing bench research on chicken anemia virus in Mexico, foot-and-mouth disease in Argentina, and fetal alcohol syndrome using a sheep model. During her third year, she discovered a love of diagnostic imaging, specifically ultrasound.
Dr. Brown’s entire practice career has been focused on central Texas. Her work experience includes two 8-year stints at local small animal hospitals, as well as countless relief shifts in many clinics in the area. After performing all the in-house ultrasounds for a practice for several years, she decided to seek further instruction in diagnostic ultrasound and obtained well over 300 hours of ultrasound continuing education. In 2012, she purchased her first ultrasound machine and began performing diagnostic ultrasounds for many clinics in the area. Since then, she has continued to serve over 20 practices in the central Texas area by performing ultrasounds for their clinics. As a previous partial owner of the Animal Emergency Center of Temple-Belton, she served in multiple capacities on the Board of Directors over the years, including President.
Her professional interests include internal medicine, infectious disease, diagnostic imaging, and feline medicine. Her partnership with Dr. Lisa Reeve in opening Barks & Bliss Veterinary Wellness allows them to offer a full range of diagnostic, treatment, and surgical services to all the pets of the greater Temple area. She enjoys the challenge of diagnosing difficult cases and loves teaching owners how to care for their pets’ behavioral and medical needs. Dr. Brown is certified in Low-Stress Handling. Dr. Brown and her husband Craig have 4 daughters: Anna, Grace, Claire, and Audrey. Over the years, they have had many pets but currently share their home with 2 dog-hating cats named Pirate and Charlotte.
Soon after graduating, she began a rewarding 20-year career at Scott & White in Temple as a stem cell transplant specialist and cancer researcher. She then received a Masters degree in Health Services Management at the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor and served as the Administrative Director in the Cancer Center until she was invited to initiate the staff Wellness Department at Scott & White. Over her 20 years in healthcare, she gained invaluable experiences both in compassionate, high-quality care treating cancer; and community wellness. After an amazing career in healthcare, she revisited the opportunity to go back to vet school. It didn’t take much for her to realize that she would achieve her dream! The support of her loving husband, kids, and friends was phenomenal. Within the year, she was accepted to Texas A&M and cherished every hour as an Aggie Vet student.
Dr. Reeve graduated from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2017 then began practicing in small animal medicine and surgery clinics in her Central Texas community. She is in constant pursuit of continuing her education and training through attendance in soft tissue and orthopedic surgery courses, as well as medical oncology rotations and training. She enjoys small animal medicine and surgery with an emphasis on prevention and wellness, oncology, soft tissue surgery, dental health, dermatology, and reproduction. Dr. Reeve is certified in Low-Stress Handling. She dedicates two weeks most years to provide care to the animals in the Turks & Caicos Islands, one of her favorite contributions to veterinary medicine and home to the world’s most beautiful beach. She strives to provide compassionate care and treats her patients as though they were her own, including dogs, cats, and small mammals.
