Dr. Richard Clive graduated from Texas A&M University in 1993. He has been a Houston area veterinarian since then and opened Midtown Veterinary 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 no 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 Doctor in Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. After finishing veterinary school, Dr. Ferrer decided to get more experience in the veterinary field and completed a one-year medical and rotating surgical 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 fantastic city.

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

Originally from Austin, Dr. Catherine Lang has loved making her home in Houston. Dr. Lang earned her veterinary medicine degree from Texas A&M University, graduating magna cum laude as a Phi Zeta honors club member. She previously graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science from Texas A&M University. While pursuing her studies, Dr. Lang was involved in multiple organizations, including serving as president of Green Vets Society, vice president of Imaging and Dentistry Club, and an officer in Delta Delta Delta fraternity.

Rounding out her education at Texas A&M, Dr. Lang spent time studying veterinary medicine abroad at the University of Padua in Italy and through an externship at a hospital that specializes in orthopedic surgery in Faxe, Denmark. These experiences gave her a unique and global perspective on her vocation.

The learning doesn’t stop after veterinary school. Dr. Lang loves attending continuing education events to stay up-to-date with advances in veterinary medicine while far exceeding the state and AAHA required CE minimums each year.

In her spare time, Dr. Lang loves spending time with her friends, family, and her talkative Siamese mix, Vincent Vega. During the fall, she loves watching Fightin’ Texas Aggie football, preferably at Kyle Field. You might see her trying new workout classes around the Montrose area, spending time outside on a sunny day, or planning her next trip abroad!

Office Manager
Norma began working at Midtown Veterinary Hospital in the summer of 2012, and she couldn’t imagine doing 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 the surgical suite as some of her passions include dental cleanings/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 four-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 Veterinary Hospital (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!

She has her Certified Veterinary Assistant certification 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.

Catherine is originally from the northeast but has been living in Texas for about seven years.

As a Licensed Veterinary Nurse who has been practicing since 2017, her background is mainly in emergency and critical care. She also has a passion for diagnostic imaging. Catherine recently completed her certification in proficiency in soft tissue abdominal ultrasound. She looks forward to helping our patients with this important diagnostic tool.

She has her hands full with three dogs and one cat, and she is especially excited to meet any Shih Tzu patients (they’re her favorite!)

Jenny has been writing poetry for seven years and has competed in poetry slams all over the state for the last three years. She even made it to the Women of the World Poetry Slam Qualifiers! Jenny also plays the piano and guitar. She loves to spend time with her family and friends and can’t wait to learn/grow in her career.

My name is Thomas, and I am the front desk manager at Midtown Veterinary Hospital. I have held this position since 2014. I am an eight-year-old Boston Terrier who enjoys the finer things in life. This includes napping, playing chase, more napping, and eating carrots. You can usually find me under the front desk or running around the clinic looking for treats to eat. When I’m not hard at work, you can find me with my mom on her many adventures or at home with my sister, Jasmine.

Here at Midtown Veterinary Hospital, we have a few fish that have become part of our family. They live in the built-in aquarium. You can see them as soon as you walk up to our second floor. They love to greet people (especially when they’re hungry)!

Abbott & Costello: These two usually stick together, as they get along very well. The only thing they like to argue about is who’s going to swim first.

Eugene: You can usually find him at the top of the aquarium, waiting to be fed. He’s always the first to get food!

Blanche: Blanche loves to hang out with Eugene. She thinks she’s an angelfish too!

Deserey: She likes to hang out in weird places! You can find her on the glass, on the underside of the branch, or hiding below!
