Cara Campbell, D.V.M.

I was born in East Liverpool, Ohio in 1960 and lived in Wellsville, Ohio until our family moved to Houston, Texas in 1965.

I grew up in a very medical family. My father was an Osteopathic surgeon. My mother and sister are registered nurses. My brother and sister are D.O.'s, an emergency room physician, and a family practitioner. We also grew up with lots of cats, dogs and horses. I showed our horses in combined training, dressage, and hunter-jumpers, until I was in my first year of vet school.

I graduated from J. Frank Dobie High School in Houston in 1978. Then graduated from Texas A & M in 1982 with a B.S. in Bio-Medical Science, and again in 1987 with a D.V.M. in Veterinary Medicine.

Growing up my big interest was our horses, but when I got to vet school I got my first Wire Fox Terrier and met some class mates that showed dogs. Since then I've been actively involved in breeding and showing my dogs.

I've been a small animal practitioner since I graduated from vet school. In 1991 I opened Westside Veterinary Hospital in Pearland. I've had the opportunity to see my practice and Pearland grow to become very special to me.

My husband, Mike Doleski, and I met on a golf course about 8 years ago. Mike was a Labrador Retriever man when we met, but converted to a Wire Fox Terrier man quickly. We were married on January 6, 2007. Mike is now the practice manager for Westside Veterinary Hospital. His skills have been a tremendous asset to the practice. We both believe that client satisfaction and the care of their pets is our primary focus.
