In 1986, Dr. Black enrolled in law school and earned his law degree from Santa Clara University in California in 1988.

Dr. Black attended the College of Veterinary Medicine at Texas A&M and graduated in 1996. He began practicing veterinary medicine at Park Cities Animal Hospital soon after. Since that time, he has enjoyed the satisfaction and rewards that come from doing what he loves most - caring for companion animals and their people.

Dr. Tucker graduated cum laude with a degree in veterinary medicine from Texas A&M in 1997. He interned for one year in small animal medicine and surgery at Kansas State University and spent three years at VCA Beltline East Animal Hospital where he honed his skills treating a variety of challenging emergency and critical care cases.
