About Vet

I received my Bachelor of Science Degrees in Biomedical Science and Veterinary Science from Texas A&M University in 1991. I continued my education receiving a doctorate from Texas A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine in 1995. After graduation, I pursued a career in veterinary emergency and critical care before opening my own small-animal practice in 2001. I currently own a small animal practice in Houston, Texas that focuses on internal medicine, geriatric health care, soft tissue surgery, and preventative care for dogs and cats. I hold licenses in multiple states including Texas, Michigan, Virginia, Arizona, Vermont, New Jersey, and New York. I can approve prescriptions during an online appointment for Virginia, Arizona, New Jersey, and New York residents. In my spare time, I love to cook, eat Mexican Food, sip margaritas, and spend the afternoon at the park with my dogs. I have 2 dogs (Briar Patch and Kirvin) and 1 cat (Tater).

****Note: I do not prescribe anti-anxiety drugs, sedatives, tranquilizers or pain medications (like Trazadone, Amantadine, Gabapentin, Clonadine, Paraxetine, Fluoxetine, Acepromazine, Amitriptyline, Sileo, etc) on video appointments. If you are looking for these medications, please schedule with one of the other wonderful veterinarians on Vetster.

Absolutely great appointment. Very friendly and down to earth. I got antibiotics drops for his eyes going to our local pharmacy and did not have to drag the dog out in the snow.

Great advice, helped me to feel better about my dogs surgery. She explained the process and the importance of the surgery.

Dr. Banks was very thorough, both in taking my cat's history and in explaining the options, and concerns. Having consulted several doctors for the same issue, I can say Dr. Banks appeared at least as competent, but probably more experienced and certainly better at explaining the medical details, and options ahead. All in all I was very satisfied. Gabriel Guimaraes
