-Dr. Randall Gallagher is very excited about starting a new practice with Dr. Wilkie and Dr. Pipiringos.

He was born in New Orleans, but grew up overseas and lived in Singapore, Norway, and Egypt. He moved to Houston in 1985, and, aside from seven years in College Station, Texas, has been here ever since.

He attended Texas A&M University for both undergraduate studies and veterinary school. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science, and Cum Laude as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

His clinical interests are internal medicine, with an emphasis on feline medicine, and soft tissue surgery.

   -Dr. Pandora Pipiringos graduated from Colorado State University in 1997, with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. She grew up in Denver, Colorado, but has lived in many places, including New Mexico and New York City. Practicing in the Houston area for over ten years, she now calls Houston home.

"This city has the friendliest neighbors and best pets in the country."

Her own family consists of husband Hank, and rescue pets that she has fostered -including Moose, the 110-pound Chocolate Lab, Bart, the Yellow Lab from the Houston Humane Society (and escape artist!), Allie Johnson, her blind, 14-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix, her newest puppy, Gilligan, and several assorted reptiles.

"Everyone at Richmond Avenue Animal Hospital has worked together as a team for years, even though our location is new. Our medical care is top-notch, and we would love to have you as part of our family."

   -Dr. Diane Wilkie has had a love for animals since she was a little girl. She also graduated from Texas A&M University, and has been practicing veterinary medicine for 18 years.

Dr. Wilkie grew up in Egypt, and has lived in many exotic places. She came back to the United States to attend college.  It has long been her dream to open her own practice, and she is so happy to have Drs. Pipiringos and Gallagher as her partners!

She has two beautiful children, and two Yorkshire Terriers that were a gift from a dear client.
