In addition to the practice, Flower Mound is exactly the community that the Harveys were seeking to put down strong family roots for years to come. Dr. Harvey and Christine have three children. There have been many pet family members through the years; including, beloved Rogue and Smokey, the couple’s college cats; sweet Casey Dog, a black and tan coonhound adopted from Redstone in Alabama; and many rescue animals that completed the family.

Currently, the family is blessed with lots of unconditional love from O’hana, a sweet and beautiful mixed breed dog from Coppell Humane Society, and Daphne, an amazing Pyrenees dog and true companion to O’hana and the Harvey family, from SPIN (Saving Pyrs in Need).

Dr. Lock loves working with and getting to know patients and clients and forming bonds with them.  She considers her clients and the staff at CTAMC her extended family.
