Caring for your pet isn’t our profession. It’s our calling.
Dr. Tara Wicker is a dedicated veterinarian with over 15 years of experience, currently serving as the Medical Director at Family Pet Care. A 2010 graduate of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Wicker has a strong professional interest in dermatology, internal medicine, behavior, pain management, and end-of-life care.
She is known for her compassionate, individualized approach to veterinary medicine, always acting as a strong advocate for her patients and their families. Her goal is to support the human-animal bond through thoughtful, personalized care at every stage of a pet’s life.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Wicker enjoys reading, gardening, and spending time with her husband and two sons. Weekends are time she cherishes with her family, cheering on her sons at their soccer games and golf tournaments.
Julie always knew she would be in the veterinary field, a passion she had since childhood. She started working in the kennel at her first veterinary hospital and has since gained experience in every department. Surprisingly, she found her niche in reception, where her customer service skills shine, and she still steps in to assist the tech team when needed. When she’s not at work, Julie spends as much time as possible with her kids when they’re in town from their newly established life in the USMC. She also enjoys hiking with her best fur-friend, Ricky, an American bulldog/Dogo mix.
Tammy joined our team two years ago, after retiring from a career in Accounting/Business. She assists the clinic part-time as both receptionist and vet tech assistant.
When not at work, Tammy enjoys spending time outdoors and cherishing moments with her family.

Winnie’s love for veterinary medicine originated from her father, Dr. Dietz. She has enjoyed helping animals for as long as she can remember, especially on the farm where she was raised, where her father greatly nurtured her passion for animals. Winnie is a devoted dog mom to her pup, Cookie, whom she spoils every day. In her spare time, Winnie loves to paint and take on creative, artsy projects.
Winnie values the bond she’s able to create with both patients and clients. She appreciates the strong communication within the team that ensures everyone is on the same page. Winnie also loves how they work together as a true team, supporting each other’s success.
Raised in Missouri City, Texas, Matt Martin’s love for animals began while growing up with a pair of golden retrievers, Shelby and Mattie, the latter of which his parents named after him. When my parents got the goldens, Miss Mattie was a little antisocial and they didn’t pick her at first. After we left the breeder, I was in the back seat sobbing, and when my parents asked why, I told them no one could love that dog like we could, so they turned around and got her.”
Matt’s favorite part about working here is the culture. He loves how his teammates consistently work together, supporting each other to achieve their goals. For anyone considering joining the team, he wants them to know that they also have great clients who make the work even more rewarding.
Jay brings years of experience in team leadership, client service, and operations management. He’s known for his calm, thoughtful approach, and ability to bring people together to solve problems and support a healthy, high-performing team culture. His background includes working in both animal care and people management roles. He deeply values client relationships and looks forward to welcoming you and your pet in soon!
Dr. Dietz fell in love with Veterinary Medicine when he moved out to the country in 8th grade and subsequently read a book called “All Creatures Great and Small” by James Herriott. From that point on, animals and Veterinary Medicine became a passion. He attended Veterinary School at Texas A&M University and graduated in 1989. Upon graduation he and his roommates embarked on a quest to England and visited James Harriot’s Veterinary clinic and got his autograph.
