Originally from northeast Texas, Dr. Conway is a graduate of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. During her clinical year at LSU she was introduced to integrative medicine, specifically acupuncture. Dr. Conway loved the improvement that each patient experienced and decided to incorporate that into her career after graduation. She soon became a certified veterinary acupuncturist via the Chi University and received her certification for veterinary medical manipulation (chiropractic) a few years later. Dr. Conway’s main passion is incorporating acupuncture and chiropractic care into Western medicine to allow the best, well-rounded options for her patients. She also enjoys soft tissue surgeries and has taken a recent focus in emergency medicine after working in general practice for the last 5 years.
In her spare time Dr. Conway enjoys spending time outdoors fishing and hiking with her husband and their (numerous) dogs. They also have 3 cats and 1 snake, Reese Slitherspoon.
Dr. Mohammad Abdelhameed or “Dr. Mo” grew up in Jordan where he used to help his grandfather on the family farm. He especially loved caring for the litters of puppies they would have. He attended veterinary school in Jordan at Jordan University of Science and Technology, graduating in 2008. After working for several years in a mixed animal practice he decided to pursue a masterʼs degree in molecular biology at Fort Hays State University at Kansas, focusing his thesis on Prion disease in pigs. Missing veterinary medicine, he started working as a veterinary technician at Town and Country until finally completing requirements to obtain his official veterinary credentials here in the United States. Dr. Mo began working full time as a veterinarian in April 2022 here at Town and Country and we are as happy to have him as he is to be here.
Dr. Braxton Norris was born in East Texas, but spent most of his childhood and teen years growing up in Cypress, Texas. It was there spending time on his family property taking care of pet horses, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, guinea pigs, and even hermit crabs, where his excitement and passion for animals grew.
Dr. Norris attended Texas A&M University where he earned a Bachelor’s in Animal Science and a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences. He ultimately traveled to California where he graduated from Western University of Health Sciences with a DVM degree in 2024. Following veterinary school, Dr. Norris underwent a rotating equine internship at Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center focused in equine emergency/critical care medicine, lameness, surgery, reproduction, farm calls, and wellness.
He is excited to see his beloved companion animal patients again in which his passions include small animal surgery, emergency medicine, and wellness care.
Dr. Norris enjoys sports and spending time outside hiking, grilling, or at the lake where you might catch him enjoying a ride on his paddle board or jet ski.
