Executive Team
Dr. Michelle Withrow, DVM
Owner, CEO
Owner of the Animal ER of Northwest Houston, Dr. Withrow grew up in Ponca City, OK where she raised several interesting pets including dogs, rabbits (domestic and cottontail), turtles, chameleons, fish, pheasants, and sheep. She discovered her love of veterinary medicine while volunteering at a mixed animal practice when she was twelve, and she followed this interest throughout her undergraduate degree by volunteering at several veterinary clinics while pursuing her bachelor of science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a minor in Economics from Oklahoma State University. She went on to graduate with honors from the OSU Center for Veterinary Health Sciences in the top of her class while participating in numerous professional organizations and leadership activities.
After Dr. Withrow and her husband completed their graduate degrees, they moved to Texas to pursue professional opportunities and raise their family. Since moving to Texas, she has enjoyed working with many local veterinarians from Texas A&M, Kansas State, and LSU while developing her medical and surgical skills. She maintains close personal and professional relationships with many of these local doctors.
Dr. Withrow and her husband Mathew have two children, Mason and Madison. They also have two furry children, Scarlett Jo and Gundy. Scarlett Jo is a Golden Retriever who is convinced she is a small lap dog, and Gundy is an English Springer Spaniel that is an easy going sidekick up for anything. Dr. Withrow enjoys exercising, target shooting, flower gardening, horseback riding, watching OSU sports and spending time with her family. She has a professional interest in dentistry, soft tissue surgery, diabetes mellitus and pain management, and she is actively involved in the TVMA and AVMA. Dr. Withrow is excited to meet you and your pet.
