Dr. Monica Walker serves as Regional Medical Director helping mentor veterinarians and build our veterinary team for hospitals in our southwestern states. Dr. Walker received a B.S. in Biology from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine.

She worked as a companion animal veterinarian with a special interest in canine and feline dentistry before moving into leadership positions as Chief of Staff and Medical Director overseeing 16 hospitals in Texas. Dr. Walker is a strong advocate for work-life balance for veterinarians and enjoys driving leadership development to impact both the individual veterinarian and the hospital.

Dr. Walker lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with her family.

Why I like working for Southern Veterinary Partners:

“SVP has given me the opportunity to use my skills as a veterinarian and manager in a way that makes me feel valued! I share my opinions and our team works cohesively with shared respect to address the needs of our doctors and hospital teams. The leaders at our home office genuinely care about veterinarians in a way I have never seen before! This company feels like the home away from home that I have been searching for in my career.”
