    DR. RICK HAMLIN

    Mercy Animal Clinic is owned and operated by Rick Hamlin, DVM. Dr. Hamlin graduated from Texas A&M University Veterinary School in 1986 and has been practicing veterinary medicine in the Richardson/Garland/Murphy area ever since.

    Mercy Animal Clinic serves the George Bush Corridor providing excellent pet care for Plano, Richardson, Garland, Murphy, and Sachse. 

    Dr. Hamlin built Kindness Small Animal Hospital in 1992 and owned it until selling in 2005. He continued to practice veterinary medicine in the area and decided in 2012 he wanted to build a new practice. He and his brother built Mercy Animal Clinic in 2012 and he opened its doors in 2013.

    When Dr. Hamlin is not at the clinic during and after hours caring for your pets, he enjoys traveling the globe with his daughter and going to the gym. 

    You will be greeted by Larry, Carl, Roger, Geep, and Amanda our clinic cats and Dogs! They are eager to help take care of you and your pets as well! We look forward to meeting you and serving all of your pet's needs!
