Having lived many years nearby, she is very fond of the Heights and is excited to serve the community.

Dr. Wen has fostered for several rescue groups and continues to volunteer at non-profit spay/neuter events.
“I strive to treat every animal and advocate for every patient like they are my own. The human-animal bond is the reason for what I do, and I want pet parents to feel like we are on the same team.”

Dr. Riley is a “born and raised” Houstonian. While she loves everything the city has to offer, she knows the best way to balance big city life is to find a community you love and to truly engage with those people. And the community that Dr. Riley loves best is “pet people”!
With more than 10 years of experience in the inner loop area of Houston, Dr. Riley is excited to work with the team at Heights Hospital for Animals as a resource to help you help your pet live their best life. Whether you just adopted your very first pet, you’re a dog person living with a cat for the first time, or you have so many animals you could practically run a petting zoo, Dr. Riley is looking forward to meeting you and hearing your stories. Dr. Riley’s professional interests are broad and easiest to describe as “comprehensive care” – everything from preventive care to pet hospice, and all the ups and downs in between – she will partner with you to make the plan that works best for you and your pet.
