Meet Our Team

Born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, Dr. Lindsay Riddick was always surrounded by a montage of animals thanks to her animal loving parents. Her childhood was spent with a large variety of pets, both domestic and exotic. She became a veterinarian because it was just part of who she has always been, an animal care giver. After practicing at other clinics in central Texas, which were sold to large corporations, Dr. Riddick had a vision of creating a clinic of her own that was warm, welcoming and truly geared towards quality individualized patient care.
‍
Dr. Riddick’s passion is to keep veterinary care high quality and personable. She understands the importance of getting to know every animal she sees and believes that developing a bond with the patient and its human counterpart is a highly effective tool for creating a tailored, long term health care plan. Dr. Riddick’s experience has taught her that a low stress atmosphere that keeps morale and comradery high is a key element in creating a healthy and happy environment for the pets and their people. Dr. Riddick dedicates Dogwood Animal Clinic to all the special animals, both past and present, that have been such an integral part of her life. She shares her life with her husband Charles, her two very special dogs, Ferdinand and Rumple, and her American Saddlebred, Joker.
