Lucy Faulkner - Veterinarian

Dr. Faulkner has been a veterinarian at Central Houston Animal Hospital since 2007.

Her desire and path to become a veterinarian started when she was in the second and third grade and hasn’t wavered since. She grew up in East Tennessee riding horses and began working as a kennel assistant at a small animal hospital at the age of 15. Through her college years, she worked as a veterinary technician while obtaining a BS in Biology, Cum Laude, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She earned her Doctor of veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Tennessee in her home town of Knoxville.

Dr Faulkner relocated to Texas in 2001 and worked as an associate veterinarian until purchasing CHAH. She has a passion for internal medicine, geriatric care, and soft tissue surgery. Finding the cause of an illness and treating that rather than putting a bandaid on the problem is very important to her. In 2022, Dr. Faulkner became a certified canine rehabilitation practitioner and has loved adding those treatment modalities to alleviate pain and help to restore and maintain function.

In addition to rehabbing injured cats and dogs, helping homeless pets in Houston and surrounding counties is an important mission of Dr. Faulkner’s. She works with various rescue organizations and finds joy in being part of a process to those pets finding a forever home. She lives in Houston with her husband, two children and five dogs and occasionally finds time to ride her horse in her free time.
