Richard T. Wall, DVM, CCRP (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner)

Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine class of 1979.

Dr. Wall is a resident of The Woodlands, Texas. He opened the Animal Clinic at Cochran's Crossing in 1995 and the Animal Clinic at Alden Bridge opened in1998.

Dr. Wall has many interests in the field of veterinary medicine. However; the area that has captured his heart and mind is rehabilitation medicine. This new field draws knowledge from the human physical therapy profession, but many questions still exist about the proper rehabilitation of the veterinary patient.  It is the opportunity to help animals in a novel way and to assist the veterinary rehabilitation profession as it continues to progress onward, that has energized Dr. Wall to become one of only a few veterinarians in the country to practice rehabilitative medicine.  He has attended and completed all of the course work for the Certificate Program in Canine Rehabilitation at the University of Tennessee - College of Veterinary Medicine and is now a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner. 

In addition to rehabilitation medicine, Dr. Wall has special interest in the surgical correction of cranial cruciate disease and medial patellar luxation.  Both of these are very common problems encountered in a small animal practice and recent advances in both surgery and rehabilitation have dramatically improved the outcomes of each.

With this in mind, Dr. Wall opened the state-of-the-art Animal Clinic at Indian Springs and the Veterinary Rehabilitation Center in September 2004.

Over the past several years Dr. Rick Wall has developed an extensive progressive practice in rehabilitation medicine at the Indian Springs location.  The practice has improved the lives of many patients suffering from both orthopedic and neurologic problems.  Some of Dr. Wall's most rewarding cases have been with paralyzed patients who regain their mobility.  Recently, Dr. Wall has started performing some Chinese medicine and acupuncture for pain management and neurologically deficient patients.

Kari is a Registered Veterinary Technician who graduated from Tomball College in 2004.  She received her certification in Canine Rehabilitation through the University of Tennessee Certification Program in the summer of 2006. She is our Rehabilitation Technician and heads the rehabilitation center at the Indian Springs location in The Woodlands, Texas. Kari works very closely with Dr. Rick Wall to ensure that all of the patients get the attention and the appropriate therapy needed. Recently, adding even more knowledge to help her with her patients, Kari has completed courses at the Chi Institute.  Her instruction there was in Chinese veterinary medicine, which allows her to have a versatile approach when treating the rehab patients.  As the youngest of seven siblings, Kari’s main love and inspiration is her family, the people and pets!  She shares her life with Cocoa Bear, Leo, and Tootsie Roll (her spoiled Dachshunds) and Sunny (the Miniature Pincher/Terrier mix).  In her leisure time she volunteers at the Houston Zoo (giraffes being her favorite), and enjoys dancing and spending time with friends.

Sharon has joined our team here at The Animal Clinics of The Woodlands, bringing with her over 18 years of outstanding veterinary technician experience. Her main areas of interest and expertise are emergency medicine and general veterinary care. She enjoys spending her time away from work with her son, Ashton; the Dachshund, Miller; and Daisy, the Cockatiel.  When Miller lets her, Sharon also enjoys relaxing at the lake and watching Ashton compete in sports like, Tae Kwon Do and baseball

Much of Sharon’s expertise and loving soul can be seen when she’s helping with the rehabilitation patents.  It takes a gentle, but steady hand, and a serene and caring continence.  Sharon displays all of these qualities brilliantly.  Her help has been a great asset in rehab!

Jinger is one of our immensely skilled administrative assistants.  She has been an outstanding asset for The Animal Clinics of The Woodlands and part of the Rehab team since March 2006.  All who work with her are gratified to have her help and brilliant insight.  Her extensive talents are caring for all of our rehab patients and their owners while also managing much of the office and receptionist work at Indian Springs.  Jinger enjoys her leisure time with her family and her beautiful new granddaughter!  Two of her favorite pastimes are reading and working-out, when her impish cat, Gandolf, lets her!
