Our Doctors

Dr. Robert Duncan 

     Dr. Robert grew up in Gainesville, Texas.  He graduated from
Texas A&M University in 2001 with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
degree.   His first five years as a DVM were in Austin, TX of which 
the last two were spent practicing emergency medicine.   He and 
Dr. Virginia-Nell Duncan moved to San Antonio in October 2006.  He 
has been at Spring Branch Veterinary Hospital since June of 2007.  
The Doctors Duncan own one dog, Sam, and two Siamese cats, Bob 
and Sassy.  All of their pets were adopted from rescue groups in
College Station, Texas.   
         
      "I am a veterinarian because of the special bond between people
and their pets. As a pet owner I know and respect this bond.  It is 
a privilege to be a part of this profession."

their home.  The San Antonio Zoo is another nonprofit organization the

     "The only thing I have ever wanted to do was be a veterinarian.  
I can remember pretending to doctor our family's goat when I was 
seven years old."
