Meet Our Veterinary Team

Veterinarian

Jessica Parkerson is a full-time veterinarian and owner of Tanglewilde Veterinary Clinic.
Dr. Parkerson grew up in the Houston area and graduated from Humble High School in 1996. She has fond childhood memories of bottle-feeding some of her grandfather’s calves on the family’s farm in Louisiana, and she has never known a time when she did not intend to become a veterinarian. After graduating from Texas A&M with a BS in Biomedical Science, Dr. Parkerson earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University in January 2004. She currently enjoys practice in primary care and surgery for cats and dogs of all ages. Dr. Parkerson is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist and also holds Advanced Certification in Veterinary Chinese Herbal Medicine through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society.

When not at the office, Dr. Parkerson loves spending time with her family. She and her husband have 2 boys, one cat, and a dog. They are frequently found at the Houston Zoo or visiting friends and family. When Dr. Parkerson is not at the office, she is still working. Last year she accumulated over 100 Board-approved continuing education hours! Her days and nights are dedicated to her family, her patients, their owners, and her staff. As much as she sincerely appreciates her relationships, she might take a break to ski every now and then.

Staff Member

Lee (also known as Santa Lee) has been a key staff member at Tanglewilde for over ten years, recently retiring from managing the kennels in order to concentrate on inventory control and data analytics. Lee enjoys his work mostly because of all the 4 legged friends he has made over the years. Lee says, “It’s really neat when a dog or cat comes in and seems to recognize me. And, of course, I have my favorites.” Lee and his wife got their first cat a week after they were married, and since then, have never been without at least 2 pets. They currently share their home with three cats; the oldest is about 20 years old! When he isn’t caring for our friends here at Tanglewilde Veterinary Clinic, Lee likes spending time with his 4 grandkids and planning for his next adventure.

For over twenty-two years, Roseanne has been making friends and looking after pets at Tanglewilde’s front desk. She appreciates the opportunities to help every person feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. Roseanne’s heart for pets is as sweet as she is for our Tanglewilde visitors, too. She has rescued Afghan hounds and parrots in the past, but these days she and her husband are enjoying the company of their two energetic cats. When Roseanne is not helping out at the clinic, she and her husband enjoy visiting with friends and family, reading, traveling, and gardening.
