Dr. Rita Geigel was born in San Antonio, Texas and raised in Puerto Rico. She grew up on her Grandfather's farm, where she developed a life-long passion for taking care of animals.

She attained both her Undergraduate Degree in Biology and her Veterinary Degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 1990, officially becoming a VMD. In 1991, she moved to Austin with her husband and family. Ever since, she has pursued excellence in her career and honed that knowledge to care for cats and dogs. She worked in Emergency Medicine for many years at a diverse spread of Clinics all over Austin. 

She finally pursued her dream of opening Windsor Park Veterinary Clinic in 2013! Since then, she has devoted her time to nurturing a compassionate relationship with clients and their pets, focusing on client education and empowerment. 

Working at Windsor Park Veterinary Clinic has been the most fulfilling, exciting time in her career. She strives to serve with love, patience and intention to collaborate with her clientele alongside her wonderful, excellent and supportive staff. 

Dr. Mockler has been a phenomenal surgeon at the clinic since 2020. A graduate of Kansas State University in 2004, she brings more than 20 years of veterinary experience. Throughout her career, Dr. Mockler has cared for pets in a wide range of settings — from owning and operating busy clinics to practicing in leading veterinary hospitals. These experiences have refined her skills, strengthened her intuition, and deepened her dedication to providing the best possible care for every animal. She has always had a special place in her heart for rescue pets, whose resilience and vulnerability inspire her to offer gentle, compassionate care (Pictured is Wilbur, one of the many rescues she has adopted).

Dr. Danielle Hein has been an exceptional relief veterinarian at the clinic since 2022. She earned her veterinary degree from Cornell University in 2013 and has spent much of her career working in emergency veterinary medicine. Dr. Hein is highly passionate about mentoring and takes great pride in training new graduates and veterinarians transitioning into emergency medicine, as well as interns and externs.
