Erika Gibson

Born in Virginia and raised in Maryland, Dr. Erika Gibson loved animals her entire life. She owned a wide range of different pets--from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles and chinchillas. However, she didn't decide to pursue a career in veterinary medicine until after graduating from the University of Miami with a dual Bachelor's of Science in Marine Science and Biology in 2012. Between graduating from undergrad and beginning her veterinary program at Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Gibson worked in various veterinary clinics and pursued a Master's degree in Marine Biology in order to adequately prepare for veterinary school. After graduating from Auburn with her DVM in 2019, she relocated to a clinic in the Houston area, gaining valuable experience in treating a wide range of pets (including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds, small farm animals, and non-human primates). She has special interests in abdominal and orthopedic surgeries, feline medicine, and exotic animal medicine. Notably, Dr. Gibson is one of the only Certified Aquatic Veterinarians located in Texas.

She recently welcomed her newborn daughter, Nyla. She also has a Great Dane named Kira, 2 cats named DJ and Misty, and a 3-legged chinchilla named Stitch. Her hobbies include spending time with her family and friends, traveling, watching women's and men's basketball, and reading. She is excited to build a relationship with the clients of Companion Animal Hospital and provide the best medicine for their loved ones.
