Alix Buffing, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Alix Buffing grew up in Western Oklahoma where her family raises beef cattle and her favorite hobby was showing horses. She attended Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine with the vision of specifically working on equine; until she fell in love with the small animal side of veterinary medicine. The way people include their smaller pets as part of their family made the attachment to this medicine very easy. She graduated from OSU in the Spring of 2017 with the determination to one day open her own small animal veterinary clinic. Hill Country Veterinary Hospital opened its doors in September of 2020 and so began her journey of now being the “boss”. In her off time, she enjoys team roping with her husband and hanging out at their funny farm. She has two bossy Corgis named Annie and Sophie, a handful of awesome Aussies, a Conure named Henry, a Caique named Skip, an Eclectus named Benny, a black Mexican King Snake named Scarlett, and too many horses to count. |

Tabitha KennedyVeterinary Technician
Tabitha grew up in Bellevue, Nebraska where she met her husband who is in the air force, which brought her to Burkburnett. Fulfilling her kindergarten dream of becoming a veterinary technician, she graduated with an AAS in veterinary technology from Iowa Western Community College in 2017. Her deep love for animals persuaded her to have three of her own; Grayson, the happy go-lucky Labrador Retriever, Bruce, the hater of all other species-kind-of-cat and Morty, the too big for my puppy britches Golden Retriever. By adding actual humans to the mix, she now has a son named Carver and a daughter named Ridley. Tabitha is a lover of all things veterinary medicine and enjoys keeping every patient happy & healthy! |
