Dr. Lauren Crenshaw

Dr. Lauren Crenshaw

Veterinarian

Dr. Crenshaw completed her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian when she graduated from Texas A&M in 2024. At the age of 7 years old, she knew she wanted to be a veterinarian due to her love of animals, but as she delved into the field in high school, she realized that it was the relationships that she built with clients that solidified her decision to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. She is now dedicated to providing the highest quality of care and advocating for the needs of both her patients and clients.

She is originally from Southeast Texas, and spent her childhood on the water. She recently moved to the Montgomery area and was initially drawn to the area because of the lake, but decided to stay for the people she met when she got here. She is so excited to continue career at Fish Creek Animal Hospital and build life-long connections with clients as they work together to ensure that the pets they love receive the best care possible and are always treated with kindness, compassion, and respect.

In her time away from the clinic, she enjoys reading, being on the water, and cuddling with her dogs while she crochets. Additionally, she is learning to ride a dirt bike with her fiance, Blaine, who races motocross.
