Our Staff

Dr Williams is a Texas A&M Aggie through and through, completing his undergraduate studies there in 2001, earning his DVM at the A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004, and following it with obtaining his Master in Business Administration in 2005. He has been practicing in New Braunfels for over 20 years now. After realizing this is where they wanted to settle and raise their family, he and his wife (also a veterinarian), opened Animal Medical Center in 2015.

He met and married Mindy while they were in school together. Mindy has a passion for rescue pets and shelter work, and has spent several years working in shelters as a high volume spay/neuter vet everywhere from Austin down to San Antonio. Together (married for 20 years now), they have shared and grown their passion for caring for all animals, large and small, and raised a few children along the way!

Their 2-legged children are Owen, Sydney, Ethan, and Aubrey. They are often busy attending baseball games, gymnastic meets, and riding and roping lessons for their kids. Their 4-legged children include their 2 rescue dogs, Molly and Dillon, their 2 rescue cats, Penelope and Petunia, several horses and one pony, several cattle, chickens and ducks. The farm and all of their animals keep them entertained and very busy in their down time!

Dr Williams has an affinity for surgery of all kinds, but also enjoys a difficult medical case! He makes sure the hospital stays up with the latest technology, procedures, and medical protocols. When asked about his favorite part of the job, however, he always says it’s the lasting relationships he’s been able to build with our clients and their pets. We are thankful to be in this community and hope to continue to serve New Braunfels for years to come!

Dr Amy White joined the Animal Medical Center family in November of 2020. She received her undergraduate degree at UC Davis and earned her Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery from the University of Glasgow, Scotland in 2011. Dr White has been practicing in the San Antonio and New Braunfels area for 10 years in both small animal hospitals as well as an equine only hospital. Her areas of special interest include both surgery and dentistry.

When not at work, she and her husband, Travis, enjoy spending time outdoors with their 3 boys, Colton, Jackson, and Brody. Their love of animals extends to their home, where they care for 2 horses, 4 dogs, and 2 cats. Dr White definitely has a special place in her heart for all terriers and loves to see all of the scruffy-faced patients at AMC. We have been very impressed with Dr White, her skills, and her level of compassion with all of our patients!

Originally from the sun-soaked beaches of Southern California, Dr. Barrera has always had a passion for animals. She earned her
undergraduate degree in Animal Science from Cornell University,
graduating cum laude, before heading back west to complete her
veterinary degree at UC Davis, focusing on large animals.

After a year practicing mixed and cow-calf medicine in Canada (and realizing she wasn’t built for the cold!), Dr. Barrera transitioned to small animal medicine in 2012—where she met her husband, David, and soon after, they were married. The couple lived in Southern California until 2021, when they moved to New Braunfels as part of a church plant during the pandemic, just after welcoming their fourth (and final!) child.

Dr. Barrera has been serving the New Braunfels community ever since and is thrilled to join the team at Animal Medical Center, where she looks forward to providing compassionate care to both pets and their people. She and her family love the “big small-town” feel of New Braunfels and the strong sense of community it offers.

At home, she and David stay busy with their three dogs (a hunting lab named Penny and two lovable mutts, Carl and Russell), her 16-year-old vet school cat Marlo, six leopard geckos, a Russian tortoise named Taters, their chickens (Marlene, Lily, and Lottie), and David’s local quail farm. When she’s not at the pet hospital, Dr. Barrera enjoys traveling, listening to local music in the surrounding area, playing the piano, and serving at church alongside her lively and loving family.

Originally from a small rural town in Puerto Rico, I completed my undergraduate degree in Animal Science at the Public University of Puerto Rico in 2021. I went on to earn my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2025. Throughout my training, I developed a strong passion for both small and large animal care, with special interests in surgery, dentistry, and complex medical cases.

Outside of veterinary medicine, I’m a proud parent to my beautiful 4-month-old son, Khalil, and my loyal 7-year-old Yorkie, Chanel. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors, playing sports, and cooking for my family.

I’m thrilled to be part of the vibrant New Braunfels community. I chose this area because of its welcoming spirit and strong sense of community, and I look forward to providing compassionate, high-quality care to both pets and the people who love them.

Erica has a passion for helping pets live longer lives, she is a huge advocate for senior patients and all things Dachshund! She works tirelessly and with great attention to detail to ensure that every pet that comes through our doors gets the quality care they deserve. Erica stays busy with her three children and enjoys spending time outdoors. She has been with AMC since before we opened our doors and is the “Chaos Coordinator” here making sure each day runs smoothly.

Heather has been working in Veterinary Medicine for her whole career, 9 of those with AMC, joining us in 2016. She has a fondness for any speckled pups, especially if it’s a Heeler! Heather loves getting to perform dental cleanings on our patients. In her free time, she is a big crafter, sewer, and makes everyone at work feel special with homemade cupcakes on their birthday.
