Dr. Erika Gibson, DVM, CertAqV
Owner & Chief of Staff
Born in Virginia and raised in Maryland, Dr. Erika Gibson loved animals her entire life. She owned a wide range of different pets--from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles and chinchillas. She possessed a strong passion for knowledge and graduated as valedictorian of her high school.
However, she didn't decide to pursue a career in veterinary medicine until after graduating from the University of Miami with a dual Bachelor's of Science in Marine Science and Biology in 2012. Between graduating from undergrad and beginning her veterinary program at Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Gibson worked in various veterinary clinics and pursued a Master's degree in Marine Biology in order to adequately prepare for veterinary school.
After graduating from Auburn with her DVM in 2019, she relocated to Houston, working for a clinic in the Houston area under a board-certified specialist, gaining valuable experience in treating a wide range of pets (including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds, small farm animals, and non-human primates). She served as Medical Director/Chief of Staff of two different clinics, prior to purchasing Treaschwig Veterinary Clinic in 2025. She has special interests in abdominal and orthopedic surgeries, dermatology, feline medicine, and exotic animal medicine. Notably, Dr. Gibson is one of the only Certified Aquatic Veterinarians located in Texas.
Dr. Gibson loves raising her daughter, Nyla, and watching the world through her toddler eyes. Dr. Gibson also has a Great Dane named Kira, 2 cats named DJ and Misty, and a 3-legged chinchilla named Stitch. Her hobbies include spending time with her family and friends, traveling, watching women's and men's basketball, trying new brunch spots, and reading.
Her life’s goal is to provide affordable, compassionate, and quality medical care to all her patients. She is excited to continue building relationships with clients in Humble/Spring, Houston and surrounding areas. Her team is committed to bringing the best medicine for their loved ones and becoming a pillar in this diverse community.
Daneatria Gibson
Practice Manager
I’ve always been the girl who wants to do it all. So I turned into the woman who does. From design, to architecture, city planning, sewing, and much more. There’s not much that I can’t do or figure out how to do, so when my sister, Dr. Gibson, asked that I join her as the Practice Manager of Gibson's Paws, Claws, and Crawls, there really was no question what my decision would be. Between my family's love of animals and my many talents, joining the practice just felt like the right next step. I decided to bring my lifetime experience of creative problem solving, customer service, and people and project management to help create a legacy with my family and in this community.
In my early years, I was introduced to Howard University. Growing up, I just knew, whatever I chose to do, I needed to help people and that is where I wanted to be. After finishing high school in MD I found a home there. I studied Architecture and earned my Bachelors. Over the next few years, I honed my newly developed skills towards many projects, such as freelance design, city planning, and home renovations.
My expertise only grew once I moved to Houston in 2017 and continued working in similar spaces including creating a residential remodeling company, Smooth Solutions, with my older brother (who also serves as the clinic's handyman).
Starting this journey with the family has been amazing, and I'm excited for what the future holds for Gibson's Paws, Claws, and Crawls.

Why vet med? Watching my sister work miracles on so many different types of animals. I’m the big sister but I’m constantly in awe of her capabilities and genuine care and concern for every patient that comes in (also getting to see all the different types of animals people bring in 🙂)

I've been working as a vet receptionist for about 3 years now, and I absolutely love getting to know all the pets and their people who walk through our doors. I've always had a soft spot for animals. I have three dogs and three cats of my own, so being part of a team that helps care for them every day is the perfect fit for me. Whether I'm scheduling appointments or sneaking in a few cuddles, I'm always happy to help. Favorite animal? Rabbit Favorite animal movie? Secret Life of Pets 1 & 2 Why vet med? It is my way of being able to connect with people and the animals I love in my community and to be able to make a difference. For them to see a caring, friendly face when they may be going through a very difficult time with sickness or loss of a pet or the joy of getting a new pet, I love to see new owners come in and grow together with their new fur baby.
