LUBBOCK, Texas — Lubbock keeps welcoming new businesses, and now the city’s growing veterinary industry is getting a boost as well.
Drs. Kirk and Kheli Sears are a husband-and-wife veterinary team bringing West Texas Veterinary Specialist, the region’s first dedicated veterinary specialty referral center to Lubbock. Kirk Sears, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM), is currently the only board-certified veterinary specialist practicing in the region. The new specialty center will expand access to advanced veterinary care for pets throughout West Texas and the surrounding reigon.
