Dr. Kristine Rockey-Millikin graduated from Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010, following her undergraduate degree in Wildlife Management from Stephen F. Austin State University. Throughout her career she has been fortunate to travel extensively and work with everything from poison dart frogs to Elephants; but enjoys companion animal surgery, internal medicine, and pet pocket animal care the most.

While Dr. Rockey is originally from the Houston area; she, her husband Jeff, and daughter Gracyn have called Brenham home for many years. They reside on their small family farm on the outskirts of Brenham with their menagerie consisting of a herd of Dexter cattle, 2 donkeys, 3 mini horses, 2 quarter horses, 11 chickens, 8 dogs, and 2 cats. When not working, she enjoys traveling with her family, herding with their Corgis, and riding.

Dr. Hecht and her fiancé, Aaron, share two cats and two very energetic dogs. In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with friends and family, reading, and sightseeing.
