Veterinarian and Owner
Hello, I'm Dr. Lara Schwab! I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science in 1997 and went on to earn my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. I began my career in the North Dallas area, where I practiced for 12 years before joining Lake Conroe Veterinarians in 2013 and working at Lakeway Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic. I have a passion for dermatology, dentistry, and internal medicine, and I love educating the community and advocating for pets' well-being.
I am a proud member of the Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA), American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and Montgomery County Veterinary Medical Association (MCVMA).

Favorite Part of my Job
My favorite part of being a veterinarian is serving and educating the community to enhance the welfare of pets. I am passionate about being a pet advocate, building strong bonds with my clients and their pets, and working together to improve the care and well-being of every animal I meet. I have a special interest in dermatology, dentistry, and internal medicine, and I enjoy helping pet owners navigate the complexities of their pets' health needs.
Why I chose this profession
From a young age, I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for animals and people. At 16, I started working for a small animal veterinarian, and the dedication and compassion I witnessed from the veterinarians there solidified my desire to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
Personal Hobbies & Interests
Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Ryan, and our two children, Claire and Noah. I am also an avid competitor in Versatility Ranch Horse and Stock Horse riding, which allows me to combine my love for animals with the thrill of competition.
