Lauren Williams Molinari, DVM, a 2013 graduate from Iowa State University College Of Veterinary Medicine, wanted to become a veterinarian since she was four years old after her favorite animal at the Audubon Zoo, a white tiger named Suri, died from ovarian cancer. She and her husband currently have one son and two dogs. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, exploring new restaurants, and traveling. She is excited for the new professional challenge of becoming a hospitalist at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists. She looks forward to treating the cats and dogs of Houston and its surrounding areas when in need.
