Dr. Lauren Crenshaw

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.

Hi, I’m Amber! I’m a passionate animal advocate dedicated to making every animal feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have hands-on experience working with rescues, caring for horses, and running my own dog boarding business. My husband and I spoil our fur kids; we spent four years traveling the country by RV with our six rescue dogs, from Florida to Utah.

My name is Heather Marie Blackburn, I have been in the veterinary field as a Veterinary Technician for over 20 years. I worked at large, small, and exotic practices. I also spent several years working at a cat-only practice here in the Houston area. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology. I moved to Lafayette, LA shortly after graduating and worked for National Marine Fisheries for a few years, before returning to be a vet tech. I moved back to Texas a few years ago, after starting a new life with one of my classmates from Port Isabel High School, Arthur Cochrum III. We share our home with AC and our 5 pets! We spend our spare time watching AC play football and our Aggies on Saturday! We plan on getting our own piece of the Texas Coast one day, so we can play on the beach and fish every day!

With over 20 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I am passionate about providing compassionate, knowledgeable care to every patient I meet. My professional journey has been shaped not only by my work in the field, but also by my personal love for animals of all kinds, especially exotics. At home, I care for a diverse group of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, an iguana, and an 18-year-old tarantula.

I live with my husband and son, and much of my life revolves around both family and animals. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, camping, and biking, activities that keep me connected to nature and the outdoors.
