Dr. Walker loves surgery, dermatology, and growing Apollo Vet to be the best it can be.
Dr. Mandy Boerner
Dr. Boerner is a graduate from Texas A&M University–gig ‘em, Aggies! She is passionate about dermatology, wellness and preventative care–especially starting when they are puppies and kittens!

Dr. Sameer Modak
Veterinarian
Dr. Modak has been a veterinarian since 2001, although you won’t often find him in exam rooms. This appropriately nicknamed “cool guy” is passionate about helping businesses scale and doctors grow in their confidence and surgical abilities. He has a rabbit at home named Stormy!
Dr. Katy Martin
Dr. Martin is a graduate of the University of Minnesota–go Golden Gophers! She is passionate about cardiology, neurology, behavioral medicine, exotic pets, hospice & end-of-life care. Herding dogs and sighthounds hold a special place in her heart, thanks to her mini Aussie named Leo and Silken Windhound named Pilot.
Dr. Sammy Rapoli
Dr. Rapoli comes to us from New York, and is now a Wimberley resident along with her six pets! She’s a graduate of Texas A&M University and a huge fan of A&M football!

Maria
Director of Operations
Meet Maria, our Director of Operations! She helps to keep the Apollo ship running smoothly between all of our locations. She also loves to jump in and help on the treatment floor whenever she is needed, making her a jack-of-all-trades! She has a menagerie of dog breeds at home–a Yorkie named Pina, a German-Shorthaired Pointer named Oakley, a Dalmatian named Pepper, and a terrier mix named Ginger (that she rescued here at Apollo!).
Olivia
Meet Olivia! Her undergraduate degree in animal behavior makes her great at helping our more anxious or fearful pets when they visit our clinic. She loves getting to form long-term relationships with our clients as they continue to visit Apollo, caring for animals in every life stage, and helping out with inventory in the back-of-house! She has a Border Collie named Willow, and also fosters dogs with local shelters.
Lorena
Lorena started with Apollo Vet as a technician assistant and quickly grew to lead tech! She loves to help the team wherever she can, and teach/train every new Apollonaut. If your pet is ever hospitalized for the day, there’s a good chance Lorena is helping to take care of them! Some of her favorite emergencies are rattlesnake bites and porcupine quills! She has a Yorkie named Bandit and a Chihuahua named Eevee.
Cloie
If your dog has ever had a run-in with a porcupine, Cloie has probably helped them out! Removing quills is one of her favorite parts about the job! She also loves surgery and feline dentals. She started at Apollo as a technician assistant and quickly moved up to technician, but is hoping to go to vet school some day! She has a spoiled Labradoodle named Jolene and a cute little kitten named Stevie.
Viktoria
Lead Veterinary Technician
Viktoria thrives on the adrenaline of emergency triage and surgery, bringing her A-game when pets need her most! When she’s not saving lives at the clinic, you’ll find her making a splash with her yellow labs, Lionel and Rosie—and yes, she and Lionel are basically celebrities after competing at Westminster and getting the ESPN spotlight for their epic dock diving skills. Talk about a dynamic duo!
Dani
Veterinary Technician
We’re sure you’ve met Dani if you’ve been at Apollo Vet in either Wimberley or South Austin! Dani’s skills as a technician are elite, but she has particular interest in exotics, holistic medicine, and end-of-life care. She is Fear Free certified and is even earning her CAETA certification to further help our clients when they’re making the tough decision to say goodbye to their pets. She has two dogs at home, Maggie and Maple!
Mireya

Say howdy to Mireya! Mireya is a veterinary technician who values the supportive team and genuine care everyone at Apollo gives to each patient. At home, she’s a proud dog mom to Sage and Wynter. We enjoy having her and her great sense of humor on the team!
Phoebe
Phoebe is one of our veterinary technicians! She’s incredible at client communication and takes time to explain the “why” when our clients have questions. She loves getting to practice and develop new technical skills, and following through with our patients through their diagnostics and treatments. She also enjoys getting to see all the cool surgeries we do at Apollo Vet! She has a German Shepherd-Poodle named Scarlet and a Chocolate Lab named Fynn.
