Dr. Victoria Stone

Veterinarian

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!

Dr. Sienna Drizin

Veterinarian

Dr. Sienna Drizin grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has always had a love for animals. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from the University of California – Davis, where she also played Division I Soccer.

Dr. Drizin went on to attend veterinary school at Colorado State University, where she was awarded grants to study stress-related diseases in pets. That work sparked her passion for fear-free care and helping animals be safe and comfortable during visits.

After earning her DVM, Dr. Drizin completed a small animal rotating internship at the University of Wisconsin, which provided specialty training in emergency and critical care. Since then, she’s gained experience in both emergency medicine and general practice, bringing compassion, curiosity, and a thoughtful approach to every patient she treats.

When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her running trails, kicking around a soccer ball, or relaxing with her two beloved cats, Bean and Sprout—who definitely run the household.
