Time to meet the Doctor! Today we are going to shine the spotlight on Dr. Gasson. He has been the rock for this team through so much and we couldn't do what we do best without him cheering us on.
Dr. Gasson grew up in The Woodlands, Texas. He attended Texas A&M University where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in August 2002. He remained at Texas A&M for veterinary school, where he received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in May 2006. After graduation, he practiced in Scottsdale, Arizona for 3+ years before deciding to return home to Texas. He joined Longwood Animal Hospital in December 2009. His professional interests include internal medicine, endocrinology and dermatology.
Dr. Gasson resides in Cypress with his wife, son and daughter, and their Lab, Max. Away from the office, Dr. Gasson enjoys playing golf and watching Aggie sports. He regularly attends Aggie football games as a season ticket holder.
