Dr. Kimberly R. Hendrick was born and raised in Odessa, Texas. Her two passions growing up were her animals and sports. She competed in the 1994 NAIA Nationals in hurdles for Howard Payne University. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science and Veterinary Science from Texas A&M University in 1997 and 1998, respectively, and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine, also from TAMU in 2001. She initially practiced medicine in Lubbock for five years before moving to the Brazos valley. She and her husband Cory have two children, Audrey and Bruce, plus a herd of Angus Cross cattle, and a variety of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and birds. In her spare time, Dr. Hendrick likes to run, read books, play tennis, sew, knit, and crochet. She and her husband moved to the area and joined the clinic in 2007, and she purchased the practice from Dr. Lloyd in 2009. Ground was broke in 2014 for the purpose of building a new facility, which officially opened in August of 2015 [citation].
