| Dusty B. Goucher, DVM Dr. Dusty was born in upstate New York, but her family is here in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Her greatest influence came from her mother, Patsy Boshears. From her, Dr. Dusty learned dedication and persistence with a healthy dose of understanding. After high school graduation, Dr. Dusty attended East Texas State University (now known as Texas A&M at Commerce) where she received her Bachelor of Science in 1994. Dr. Dusty was accepted into the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine where she graduated with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2000. During that time, Drs. Dusty and Darren were married and had two children. After graduation, Dr. Dusty and Dr. Darren moved up here and began working in Sachse and Murphy. Dr. Dusty has worked at the Cat Hospital of Collin County since 2003 and continues to work there on Saturdays. Dr. Dana Pace has imparted much specialized knowledge to Dr. Dusty during these years. |

| Darren L. Goucher, DVM Dr. Darren was born and raised in Pasadena, Texas where his parents still reside. His greatest influence came from Dr. Tom Wilkes at the Richey Animal Hospital. There, he established a good work ethic and perhaps most importantly, compassion. After high school graduation, Dr. Darren attended Texas A&M University and received his Bachelor of Science in 1993. In 1994, Dr. Darren was accepted into the veterinary program at Texas A&M University where he graduated Cum Laude with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 1998. After graduation, Dr. Darren went to work for Dr. Dan Posey in Madisonville, TX who become his second true mentor. “I learned so much there, from both Dr. Posey and his staff. Probably the most important thing I learned was that you must treat people and their pets with the same care you expect when you are the patient." |

| Together, Dr. Darren and Dr. Dusty were able to realize their long sought dream of owning their practice. In December of 2004, the Animal Hospital of Fate opened its doors to serve the rapidly growing community in and around Fate, Texas. They now make their home in Rockwall, Texas with their three children, Lilly, Connor, and Adam. If you spend enough time with us, you will surely meet their adorable and ever helpful threesome. They have a rescued dog at home, an ill-behaved green wing macaw, and many fish. |
