Who We Are
Ponder Veterinary Hospital was founded by Dr. Phil Henderson in 1975. At that time the practice saw cats and dogs, and larger animals such as horses and cattle. Dr. Henderson developed a practice culture of progressive and high quality medicine, along with a focus on customer service and patient care.
Dr. Chris Norwood joined the practice in 2005 after graduating from Texas A&M, and eventually purchased it in 2012. At which point only small animals were seen as patients. Dr. Norwood has built on Dr. Henderson’s foundation of good medicine, and continues to bring in services such as ultrasound so that clients and patients don’t need to travel far for their health care.
In 2018, Dr. Katherine Moriarty became a part of Ponder Veterinary Hospital. She graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2015 and spent her first years practicing in Houston, TX. She is happy to bring in Fear Free principles and see cat and dog behavior cases.
