We often boast about our wonderful animal-loving staff here at Towne North. We collectively share our lives and homes with many pets, including cows, mice, hamsters, fish, birds, sheep, goats etc! They are truly amazing!

Amy Willeford-Lewis, DVM
Dr. Lewis is a 1996 graduate of Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, and joined our family in August of 2011. Her interests include internal medicine, geriatric medicine, and dentistry. She also has experience in exotic animal medicine and feels that it adds an extra "flavor" to veterinary medicine. With a husband and 2 beautiful children (2-legged), her family is her heart and soul. A very energetic Brittany Spaniel and a loveable cat complete her family.
