Dr. Sophie Gleeson

DVM

Dr. Gleeson grew up in Australia and moved to the US to start high school. She obtained a Bachelor of Science in animal science from Texas A&M and her veterinary degree from St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine, with her clinical training completed at Louisiana State. Prior to attending veterinary school, Dr. Gleeson worked as a veterinary technician in Florida for 2 years. Dr. Gleeson spent time in equine and mixed animal practice and worked in McKinney before joining Cross Timbers AMC.
Growing up on a farm, Dr. Gleeson always knew she wanted to become a veterinarian. Her love for animals both large and small, treating their ailments and helping with their care allowed her to get experience early on in life.
Dr. Gleeson’s areas of interest are internal medicine, geriatrics, and preventative care.

When Dr. Gleeson isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her friends, family, and her 2 Doberman Pinchers, Zoe and Zappa. Dr. Gleeson has horses that she enjoys riding in her free time.

Stephanie

Receptionist

Stephanie joined us in 2014. Her bilingual skills help us at the reception desk. She is one of the few employees we have that does not own a half dozen dogs or cats. The need to having something demanding her attention is well met, however, as she is called “Mom” by over a dozen children and is an active grandmother and aunt to many more. For two years, she co-owned Boomer’s.
