Cesar Simon Vazquez, DVM, Owner
Meet Dr. Cesar Simon
Dr. Cesar Simon was born and raised in Madrid, Spain. His lifelong love for both medicine and animals made veterinary medicine a natural calling.
Dr. Simon began his career in the early 1990s, working on a rabbit farm in Spain before advancing to roles as a freelance small animal practitioner. In 1998, he moved to England, where he spent eight years practicing veterinary medicine in both small and large animal clinics, as well as working with the British Ministry of Agriculture.
In 2008, Dr. Simon relocated to the United States, where he has since served in small animal clinics and at the University of Texas. He is certified through the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates and the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.
Outside of his veterinary work, Dr. Simon enjoys spending time with his family—his son is his greatest joy. A passionate cook, he loves preparing his famous paella and other traditional Spanish dishes for friends and loved ones. He also enjoys reading, particularly on topics of history, philosophy, and psychology.
Dr. Simon is fluent in Spanish and conversational Italian and shares his home with his partner Lydia, a ball python named Manolo, and a cat named Basil.

She is deeply committed to giving back, dedicating her free time to volunteering at her church and participating in community service projects throughout the Houston area.
Geneva’s warmth, expertise, and dedication to both animals and people make her an integral part of our team.
