Dr. Chris Tucker, DVM

Dr. Tucker is beyond excited to bring the high-quality medicine, surgery, and customer service clients have come to know at Frisco West Animal Medical Center to Prosper.  This next chapter will allow him to continue servicing his existing clients and patients, all the while allowing for a return to the passion of new practice start-ups and new opportunities for the staff he so dearly cares for.  

Dr. Tucker has been practicing in North Dallas for the last 20 years. Before graduating from Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, he attended Texas Tech University, where he met his wife, Lisa.  Through 25 years of marriage, their proudest achievement is their two children.  His daughter Alex will graduate from Colorado State University in December of 2023, and his son, Reid, plans to attend the University of Oklahoma this fall.  

Professional interests focus on internal medicine and surgery.  One of Dr. Tucker’s primary goals is to expand the scope of surgical offerings available to his clients in general practice.  Beyond exceeding the latest standards in animal healthcare, Dr. Tucker’s passion is fueled by the relationships formed with clients in the exam room.  Professional fulfillment comes from the bond created while caring for those patients so dear to him and their families. 

While not practicing veterinary medicine, Dr. Tucker enjoys anything outside. Life outdoors is paramount to the balance between a demanding career and a busy family.  When not ranching or spending time at the lake, the Tucker Family finds great joy in traveling the world.  As Dr. Tucker and Lisa become “empty nesters,” they are excited to expand their travels to new and more distant locations.
