Congratulations Dr. Brown 🎉🎓🐕

Yesterday was a special day for the Baytown Animal Hospital family as we celebrated Dr. Makenzie Brown graduating from veterinary school! 🎓🐾

Dr. Brown’s journey is truly inspiring. She began her career with us as a veterinary technician, and through hard work, determination, and an incredible passion for animal care, she has achieved her dream of becoming a veterinarian. Watching her grow through every stage of this journey has been something very special.

Both Dr. Schumacher and I have been honored to support and encourage Makenzie along the way, and we could not be more proud of the leader, professional, and person she has become. Her dedication to her patients, clients, and teammates is exactly what veterinary medicine needs, and we know she has an incredibly bright future ahead.

We are excited to officially welcome Dr. Brown to the Baytown Animal Hospital team as a veterinarian beginning June 1st! Our hospital continues to grow because of strong, passionate individuals like Makenzie who lead with compassion, integrity, and perseverance.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Makenzie Brown on this amazing accomplishment! We are beyond excited for what’s ahead. 💙🐴🐶🐱
