About Us
About Sugar Land Veterinary Services
Sugar Land Veterinary Specialists (SLVS) has been serving the community since 2005, and our philosophy is the same today as it was when Dr. Charlie Quick first conceived of this hospital—we treat our clients’ pets like we’d treat our own.
Under the new leadership of Dr. Andrew Novosad, we strive to be the premier referral hospital in the area—one our primary practice partners can work with seamlessly and our clients can depend on for best-in-class specialty care. We have deep ties to the Sugar Land community and are committed to serving pets across Houston so that every pet can count on us for expert care in their time of need.
As a 24-hour hospital offering emergency and specialty care services, SLVS provides a continuity of care that emergency-only clinics can’t achieve. Led by Dr. Ashley Parker, our emergency care team is there for pets when every minute matters. But they don’t do it alone. They’re supported by specialists across disciplines so pets can get the care they need, when they need it, without transferring back and forth between clinics.
Our Mission & Core Values
Our mission at Sugar Land Veterinary Specialists is to provide the best possible veterinary specialty and emergency care for pets and their owners with outstanding customer service, understanding, compassion and communication. We recognize, respect and support the value of every co-worker and our referring veterinarians in this TEAM effort to succeed in OUR MISSION.








SLVS Culture
Dr. Novosad’s leadership style is simple: listen first and consider how each decision impacts those involved. When it comes to caring for pets and supporting a team of veterinary professionals, the bottom line isn’t the only line.
More a family than a group of co-workers, the SLVS team shares the belief that collaboration, communication, and mutual respect lead to clinical excellence. Our enjoyment of what we do and who we do it with keeps us grounded and growing in our careers.
Unlike some specialty hospitals that operate in silos, SLVS doctors and support teams work together to achieve the best outcomes for our patients. Sometimes, that means formal consultations and in-depth medical reviews. Other times, it involves on-the-fly hallway conversations if that’s what it takes to do right by our patients and deliver “wow” service to our clients.
