Dr. Sam McDonald
Medical Director
Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Sam McDonald grew up in Round Rock, TX. He grew up shadowing and working in local general practice and specialty veterinary clinics. He completed his Bachelors and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine. After finishing school he came back to Austin and worked in specialty and emergency clinics in the Austin area. Given the opportunity, he joined VEG in 2021 and traveled to Dallas for a year and a half waiting for the Austin clinics to open. After the opportunity came to open the third VEG in Cedar Park, he excitedly jumped on the offer. He is passionate about emergency and critical, internal medicine and the human-animal bond. He is also passionate about learning and elevating medicine for his team.
