meet the family
 
 
The staff here at Harlingen Veterinary Clinic are much more than just employees, we are family. And although you may know some of us, we thought it would be nice to learn a little bit about our doctors.

  Kristen Ripberger, CVM ~ We are very happy to welcome Kristen to our family at HVC. She joined us in the summer of 2002, after working for several years at a practice in Indiana. Kristen hails from Christine's alma mater, Purdue University, which essentially made her a 'shoe-in' here. Her kind and competent madder makes her a favorite with our patients, as well as our clients, and we hope to share our office with her for a long time to come.
