Dr. Richard Clive graduated from Texas A&M in 1993. He has been a Houston area vet since then and opened Midtown Vet Hospital in 2010. “I absolutely love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else for a living.”

Dr Gabriel Ferrer is originally from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. It was there that he developed a passion for animals at a very young age. Because there is not a veterinary school in Puerto Rico, he left his Caribbean Island to pursue his dream of becoming a Veterinarian.

Dr Ferrer graduated from Louisiana State University with an undergraduate degree in Animal Science. Then he graduated from Michigan State University with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M) degree. After finishing veterinary school, he decided to get more experience in the veterinary field and finished a one-year medical and surgical rotating internship at The Ohio State University. During his internship year he became very interested in veterinary dermatology and came to Houston to do a specialized one year Dermatology Internship at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists. He loved Houston so much that he decided to stay in this amazing city.

When Dr. Ferrer is not at Midtown Vet Hospital, he enjoys spending time with his wife Rosa and their two rescued dogs Luna Sofia and Jimmy Changa. Also he enjoys running, playing Volleyball or just enjoying everything this great city of Houston has to offer.

Office Manager
Norma began working at Midtown Vet in Summer of 2012 and she couldn’t imagine any other job. Working with animals has been a lifelong dream that came to fruition when entering the veterinary field in 2010. A graduate of the Vet Tech Institute in Houston, Norma was a Registered Veterinary Technician and is now Office Manager at Midtown.

You can still find her in exam rooms and in the surgical suite as some of her passions include dental cleanings and treatments and anesthesia.

In her free time Norma likes to spend time with her family, husband and children. She has a family tradition of owning chihuahuas but her “first-born son” is a 4 pound chihuahua named Tiny Dog.

Cassandra grew up in Houston and has been with us since January 2014. She wears a couple of hats here at Midtown Vet (we’ve since asked her to get rid of those!). When she’s not keeping us current on our safety policies, maintaining accreditation, or preparing our social media content, you’ll find her doing what brought her into veterinary medicine: taking care of pets!

Cassandra has her CVA and is currently finishing up her licensing studies. Outside of work, she is interested in arts and crafts, watching her favorite shows, and spending time with her cat (Norman), dog (Kat) and boyfriend.

Celene has been a vet tech since 2010 and is a 2019 liberal arts graduate from Texas A&M. In the clinic, she loves making sure our patients are comfortable and loved while they are in our care. She also loves client education and making sure you leave our hospital feeling that all your questions have been answered.

Celene has 2 black cats of her own that she adores!

In her free time she likes going to the gym and spending time with friends and family.

Rosina is originally from northern Indiana, she moved to Houston in 2011 due to her husband’s career. As a child, Rosina and her Dad would always help animals in need, from birds with broken wings to squirrels trapped in fences. Her compassion for animals inspired her to choose a career that would fulfill her love for animals. She has shared her life with a variety of pets such as dogs, cats, hamsters, and frogs.

In 2012, Rosina graduated from Pima Medical Institute as a Certified Veterinary Assistant. She worked at a low cost clinic for 4 years afterwards. In an effort to strengthen her bond with animals and expand her knowledge, she worked as a dog trainer in 2016 while she continued her education in veterinary medicine. In 2017, Rosina graduated a second time from Pima Medical Institute with an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science. She quickly took her VTNE examination and Texas State examination and is happy to now be a License Veterinary Technician (LVT).

During her off time, Rosina enjoys the companionship of her cat, “Scaredy Cat” and her dog, “Macchiato” (Maki). She also enjoys spending time with her family, playing with her pets, and doing arts and crafts. Rosina finds dog training to be very rewarding, so she continues training in her free time (feel free to contact her at www.barkercanineacademy.com)

Rosina is proud to be a technician and loves that her career is focused on helping animals, and enjoys additional fulfillment outside of work helping dogs with their manners and anxieties through training.
