Our Team
Iridian
Hospital Administrator
Greetings, y’all! My name is Iridian, and I am very excited to meet your babies and you! Where to start? I was born and raised here in Dallas, TX and for as long as I can remember, I have always been passionate about helping people and their animals. I have an A.A.S. in Veterinary Technology and I practiced as a Veterinary Technician for a few years before I became the Hospital Administrator here at Isla Vet. I have loved everything about veterinary medicine and I cannot see myself doing anything else!
I only have ONE fun-sized Chihuahua fur baby named Chloe, and she has been my best friend for 15 years and counting! Sometimes she can be spicy, but she loves her Isla Vet Family. When I am not working, I spend quality time with my family and friends. Whether I am traveling or just being a couch potato at home, I love to make people laugh and make sure everyone around me is happy! I am a Libra, what can I say?
As a pet parent, I know it is hard to find a veterinary hospital with team members that listen to not only you as a pet parent, but also tend to your pet’s special and unique needs. Here at Isla Veterinary Boutique Hospital, we strive to make your fur child and you feel at home. I also love providing excellent customer service to our clients and treating their babies as if they were my own. As the Hospital Administrator, I will do my best to make every visit with us meaningful and memorable. I cannot wait to meet y’all soon!
Cassy
Lead Veterinary Technician
Hi there, my name is Cassy, and I am the Lead Veterinary Technician at Isla Veterinary Boutique Hospital. With over a decade of experience, I am deeply passionate about providing exceptional care to animals. I have dedicated my career to advancing my expertise and ensuring that every patient receives the highest standard of medical attention.
I live in a small town, where I find joy in the simple pleasures of life, particularly in caring for my farm animals, dogs, and cats. I especially cherish spending time with my horse, Jack, taking leisurely rides through the countryside during my free time. Since a young age, I have always dreamed of living this fulfilling life, surrounded by the animals I love.
At Isla Veterinary Boutique Hospital, I am excited to continue making a difference in the lives of pets and their families. I take great pride in being part of a team that fosters an inclusive environment, where every individual and their unique needs are valued.

Erika
Veterinary Technician
Hola! I’m Erika, one of the veterinary technicians here at Isla Vet. My journey in the veterinary field began over a decade ago as a receptionist at a small clinic in Carrollton. Through cross-training as a veterinary assistant, I discovered my passion for hands-on animal care, and the rest is history! I share my life with my two senior Beagles, Shiloh, and Daisy, along with my wonderful human child. Together, we love exploring new parks and nature preserves.
Raised in the C-FB area, I take great joy in caring for the pets of my hometown and helping them stay healthy and happy. I believe compassion and clear communication are essential to this mission, and I strive to ensure that every client feels valued and understood. I look forward to being a part of your pet’s journey toward health and happiness! See you at the Island!
Fabby
Veterinary Technician
Hi everybody! My name is Fabby, and I can’t wait to meet you and love on your babies!
My passion for animals started at a very young age and I knew helping them in one way or another was what I wanted to do. I have worked in different veterinary clinics and as a groomer, but I knew veterinary medicine was what I loved the most. I have now been in the field for 10 years and loving it!!
During my time off, I love spending time with my husband and two sons, as well as with my fur babies: Kaiser, a handsome Husky mix, and Solar, a beautiful Persian kitty. I also love reading, singing, and gardening.
I am excited to meet y’all and welcome you into our Isla Vet family! I couldn’t be more proud of who we are as a team, and I can promise we always strive to take care of your baby like our own, make you feel welcome and accepted, and provide the best medical care possible.
Emily
Veterinary Technician
Howdy, y’all! My name is Emily and I started my career in veterinary medicine at the ripe age of 19! I started as a kennel technician at a large corporate veterinary clinic and moved my way into emergency veterinary medicine for a couple of years, where I developed my skills and transitioned into more technical work. After several years in emergency medicine, I found myself feeling like I was lost in the field and I yearned to find a place where I belonged and could truly work on improving my skills. After taking a much-needed break from the field, I started looking for practices where I could feel like I was making a difference and that is when I found Dr. Josh and Isla Vet!
I can honestly say, without a doubt, that the care and compassion I have experienced as a technician at Isla Vet are like no other. Everyone at Isla Vet, from Dr. Josh to my lovely comrades on the medical team, cares so much about making your experience as a client—and your fur baby’s experience as a patient—as comfortable and compassionate as possible. Come in and see the difference a team that TRULY cares makes! 🙂
