Dr. Lauren Carmichael is the daughter of a Naval commander. She was born in Rota, Spain and from there has lived in Florida, Hawaii, Virginia, California, and Kansas! She considers Kansas City, Kansas “home”, since she lived there the longest. Dr. Lauren Carmichael started her undergraduate career at Baylor University and later transferred to Kansas State University where she completed her undergraduate degree in just three years and was then accepted into the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2009.

Dr. Stone was born in Biloxi, Mississippi and moved somewhere new every two to three years because her mother was an Air Force flight medic. Naturally, she often refers to herself as a military brat. Her family ultimately settled in Texas during her college years, and she graduated from Texas Woman’s University in 2016. Dr. Stone has been part of the Highland Pointe Animal Hospital family since 2016 when she worked with us as a client services representative and later veterinary assistant prior to being accepted into Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She graduated with her doctorate in May of 2022. Dr. Stone has often been called a crazy cat lady, but she also loves all dogs. During her down time, she loves to golf, go to the gym, and spend time with her many pets. She has four cats named Tango, Cash, Princess, and Kitbull and two dogs named Monroe and Lily. Dr. Stone can’t wait to see you and your fur-kids!
Logan is proud to have been with Highland Pointe since its beginning. He has loved animals of all kinds his whole life – mammals, reptiles, birds, fish and yes, even insects! He graduated from UNT with a Biology degree in 2013 and has worked in animal medicine since 2014. He loves getting to know every animal that comes to the clinic and especially enjoys winning over the shy ones!
Logan was born and raised in Fort Worth and currently lives in Denton with his wonderful wife Zakiya and their two dogs – Cosmo and Penny, and cats – Zena and Yuki. When he isn’t telling a story about his fur babies he is probably talking about food or telling a really corny joke!

Although always an animal lover, Mandi’s interests in veterinary medicine began after she started volunteering with animal rescues over 12 years ago.

Mandi has over 6 years of experience working in the field. She has quite the zoo at home with 4 cats named Caesar, Freya, Bobby B, and Bran; 3 dogs named Odd, Crystal, and Kella; and 6 chickens named Edna, Annabelle, Marchesa, Fiona, Reza, and Beyjay. She’s passionate about animal rescue and has fostered over 40 dogs and cats.

Mandi has been married for 18 years and has one daughter, Catherine. She’s an advocate for her daughter who has Down Syndrome and volunteers with Special Olympics. She loves to fish, hike, camp, read, watch terrible reality television, and cook in her down time.
I have lived most of my life in the Seattle area. As a result, I enjoy coffee! I have always known that working with animals was what I was supposed to do with my life. I graduated from Pierce College with an Associates in Veterinary Technology in 2005 and received my Veterinary Technician License in Washington State. I currently share my home with five dogs and a bearded dragon. Oh, and my husband and two kids! 😉
I have always loved animals from a young age and knew that I would always work with them. When I went to college I was introduced to veterinary technicians, and that is what I knew I wanted to do. I love the feeling of helping animals and am very excited to help all of my new family members at Highland Pointe Animal Hospital!

I am a student at UNT majoring in Biology. I have had all sorts of pets but am currently a mom to my dog Ryder, and two cats Naga and Kevin. I moved here from St. Louis, Missouri about five years ago and miss the cold! I enjoy reading, playing music, and staying at home with my fur babies!
I went to high school at Hebron High School prior to attending the University of Arkansas in 2014. While there I studied Animal Science and graduated with a Bachelor of Science. In my free time, I ride horses or hang out with my dogs Luke and Ford.
