Dr. Kaki Nicotre

Dr. Kaki has been working in veterinary medicine since 2006, when she fell in love with the profession. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Texas A&M University in 2013. Dr. Kaki moved to Clifton in 2014 and took ownership of Clifton Veterinary Clinic the following year, continuing the legacy of Dr. Lloyd Hampe. Her greatest joy is being a mom to Nellie Bell and Gus, whom she homeschools right at the clinic. She is married to Kyle, the clinic’s practice manager, and together they form the heart of the Clifton Vet team. Outside of work, Dr. Kaki enjoys gardening, reading (often five or six books at once!), camping with her family, and traveling the world in search of new culinary adventures.

Dr. Ashley Vahling

Dr. Ashley Vahling, a native of Southern Illinois, earned her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences from the University of Illinois in 2016, followed by her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2024. With a passion for both pets and livestock, Dr. Ashley always knew she wanted to live and work in a rural community practicing mixed animal medicine. During her final year of veterinary school, she spent two weeks in Clifton for a veterinary externship. Dr. Ashley fell in love with beautiful central Texas, especially the town of Clifton, the surrounding communities, and the people who live there. She moved to China Spring, Texas, in June 2024 and began working as an associate veterinarian in August. Dr. Ashley’s professional interests include ophthalmology, cardiology, and diagnostic imaging, with a particular enjoyment in working with sporting and hunting dogs. She looks forward to meeting and building relationships with her clients and their animals. Outside of work, Dr. Ashley enjoys spending time with her husband and two young daughters, along with her pack of Catahoula dogs, horses, and barn cats. An avid outdoorswoman, she enjoys hunting, fly fishing, competing in working trials with her dogs, as well as reading and painting.

About Us

what is Clifton Veterinary Clinic?

Clifton Veterinary Clinic has been proudly serving Clifton and the Bosque County area since 1965. Our motto of “Expert Medicine, Hometown Service” is the guiding factor for everything we do. We believe that good medicine and amazing service are not mutually exclusive. You should expect a level of medicine unheard of in a small rural community, and a level of love and familiarity unheard of in a large metroplex.

Every case, every client, and every animal make us better at what we do. We hope that you will feel you are inherently blessed by our passion, our service, and our medicine. Dr. Parks first opened Clifton Veterinary Clinic in 1965 at its previous location at the North end of town. The long and successful history of this clinic is owed to several men who took ownership and left their mark on both the clinic and the community.

In 2015, Dr. Kaki Nicotre and her husband Kyle bought Clifton Veterinary Clinic and have operated it with a passion for service since that time. They continue to carry on the legacy of providing expert care while maintaining a strong connection to the community and the people they serve.
