Taylor Parker, D.V.M.

Dr. Taylor Parker comes from Akron, Ohio which is where she first fell in love with taking care of animals. “Growing up, my sister and I were always taking in any injured wildlife we found,” Dr. Parker said. “The need to care for animals has stuck with me ever since.”

Dr. Parker attended Ross University in St. Kitts where the island lifestyle was a nice change of scenery from her hometown in Ohio. From there she attended Louisiana State University for her clinical year. While Las Vegas was initially not on her radar, Dr. Parker said that she is very happy that she made the move.

“It’s a wonderful city and there is so much to do here,” she said. As an avid hiker, Red Rock quickly became one of her favorite hangouts. “I have always loved the outdoors and Turtlehead Peak was one of the first places I knew I just had to try!”

Dr. Parker enjoys surgery and working with exotic animals. She said that patient care is always a top priority. “My family had pets growing up, as well as my friends, and classmates,” Dr. Parker said. “These animals are truly a member of the family and it so important to understand that when caring for them.”

Dr. Muñoz completed the Lone Mountain Animal Hospital externship program in October of 2017.

Tiffany Moore, D.V.M.

Dr. Tiffany Moore is a graduate of Ross University and a former extern of Craig Road Animal Hospital. Dr. Moore completed her clinical studies at Lousiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana right before she migrated to Las Vegas. She obtained her Associate’s in Veterinary Technology at SUNY Canton, and later graduated with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science at SUNY Cobleskill, both located in upstate New York.

Dr. Moore was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida but she grew up in Barbados. She knew from a young age that she wanted to become a veterinarian. Dr. Moore’s passion to care for animals blossomed when she was a young child. Being an only child, Dr. Moore’s companions were always four-legged and furry. Growing up, she would volunteer at the RSPCA in Barbados, and during her studies in New York, Dr. Moore volunteered at various shelters in the area. Exotics, pathology, and surgery are some of the areas that she’s interested in.

High fashion modeling and becoming a disc jockey were two of Dr. Moore’s potential career interests as an adolescent, but animal health naturally took precedence.

“I truly couldn’t envision myself investing all of my time and energy pursuing a career that was not animal-related, so I decided to go for it every step of the way. My passion for animals was and will always be the number one thing in my life.”  Dr. Moore said. “When the time came to begin my academic career, I chose to pursue a technician degree first, in order to better develop my technical skills. Subsequently, I decided to obtain some large animal experience by pursuing an animal science degree.”

In her downtime, Dr. Moore enjoys listening to music, watching the “Harry Potter” series for the millionth time, cooking, dancing, and spending time with her pets. Dr. Moore shares her life with a calico cat named Nymphadora, two skinny pigs named Minerva and Petunia, and a Shih Tzu named Fleur that she adopted from Lone Mountain Animal Hospital.

Natalie Gulson, D.V.M.

Dr. Natalie Gulson is a former extern of Lone Mountain Animal Hospital and grew up in Xalapa, Mexico. She’s always had a love for animals and has a family dog that still lives with her parents in Mexico. She grew up with several other pets, including turtles, hamsters, and fish.

Dr. Gulson said she didn’t consider becoming a veterinarian until she started volunteering at a local animal shelter in Xalapa that had a clinic attached to it. She started by cleaning the kennels and begun shadowing the clinic’s veterinarians by the time she was in high school.

“I started by assisting in surgeries and doing consultations, and that’s when I realized that’s what I wanted to do,” Dr. Gulson said.

She received her Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Southern Illinois University before going to vet school at the University of Missouri. Dr. Gulson said she’s most interested in exotics, surgery, zoological medicine, and conservation. Aside from her volunteer experience in shelter work, Dr. Gulson has also volunteered with wildlife rehab centers and at an exotic veterinary clinic while attending Southern Illinois University.

“I’ve done some research with horses,” Dr. Gulson said. “I worked at the equine center at Southern Illinois, and I’ve also done some research with search and rescue canines with FEMA.”

In her spare time, Dr. Gulson enjoys hiking, exercising, shopping, reading, and spending time with her friends. She’s also an avid board game enthusiast and is interested in playing the violin again. She has a 2-year-old Samoyed named Pambazo.

Shreya Gowda, D.V.M.

Dr. Shreya Gowda is a graduate of Michigan State University and is from San Jose, California. Dr. Gowda said she knew from a young age that she wanted to become a veterinarian.

“It was always one of those things,” she said. “My sister wanted to be a lawyer, and I always wanted to be a vet, so that’s how people differentiated between us.”

Growing up in the Bay Area, Dr. Gowda didn’t have many pets due to her mother’s allergies and her dad being uncomfortable around most animals. Her family did own a pet rabbit, but it was kept outside. Dr. Gowda said she would love to have pets of her own one day now that she’s relocated to the Las Vegas area.

She received her Bachelor’s in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley, and her Master’s in Lab Animal Science from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Gowda worked for a couple of years at local animal clinics in the Bay Area before attending Drexel for her Master’s.
