Dr. Adrienne Diez, a Puerto Rican native, knew from a young age that her love and respect for animals would lead her to become “an animal doctor.” Raised by a single mother in a home that valued honesty, empathy, perseverance, responsibility, and humility, she credits her family’s unwavering support as the foundation for achieving her dream of becoming a veterinarian. 

Her passion for veterinary medicine deepened during hands-on experiences with farm animals while earning her bachelor’s degree in biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus. Dr. Diez went on to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts, completing her clinical year at Oklahoma State University. She then pursued a rotating small animal internship at VCA Hollywood Animal Hospital in Florida and is RECOVER CPR certified. 

In 2025, Dr. Diez joined Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists for a specialty internship, where she looks forward to working closely with the Dermatology team to expand her skills and knowledge as she pursues her long-term goal of completing a dermatology residency. 

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Diez enjoys traveling, reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, exploring the city of Houston, and spending time with her family and her spoiled fur siblings.
