About Vet

Hello, I’m Dr. Roy. I look forward to helping you and your pet from the comfort of your home. You will have my undivided attention for up to 30 minutes.

Enzo, my pup and constant companion, will help during our video appointment.

I grew up on a ranch in Texas. With my father’s encouragement, I received my DVM from Texas A&M.

During my career, I’ve been fortunate to practice on many species. A for armadillos to Z for Zebras.

I enjoy telling tall tales of my experiences!

The Human Animal Bond is dear to my heart. I helped launch pet visitation programs at the Houston Medical Center during the 1980s.

I’ve served on numerous boards and volunteered my services and time to shelters and animal rescue groups.

Ongoing continued education keeps me up-to-date on the rapid advancements in veterinary medicine.

My rabbit was drinking excessively and struggling with some GI issues. I had called every pet ER in our area and no one would see him because they did not have a rabbit specialist on staff. Dr. Roy listened to my concerns and gave us a game-plan to support our bunny at home until he could be seen in person by a vet on Monday. He was compassionate and educated us on the method behind the treatment plan he had us implement. I left the appointment no longer feeling powerless to help my rabbit and, importantly, like I had someone on my team. Happy to report that Levin, my bunny, is doing much better! Thank you so much Dr. Roy!

Allergies are causing Nina’s eyes to be red with heavy discharge. Dr. Cruzan immediately understood the issue. As he described the treatments, he explained how they would help and the best way to administer them. I feel very confident we can provide Nina relief.

Sunshine had hot and bald spots. Dr. Roy is very knowledgeable about her condition and gave wonderful advice. Really appreciated his personable demeanor as well. Great experience and beats taking Sunshine to the vet where she gets really stressed out.
