Dr. Steve Sullivan
DVM & Practice Owner
Dr. Steve Sullivan was born and raised in Pasadena and graduated from Deer Park High School (Go Fighting Deer!). He knew at a very early age that he wanted to either be a veterinarian or dig for dinosaur bones. When he matured to the ripe old age of 8, his interest in dinosaurs waned, but his passion for animal medicine did not. That was when he knew he was destined to become a veterinarian (or “vegetarian,” as he liked to say back then).
Dr. Sullivan graduated from Texas A&M University (Gig ’em, Aggies!) with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 1996 and began his career as an associate veterinarian at Red Bluff Animal Hospital. In June 2005, he purchased Red Bluff Animal Hospital. Realizing he was getting way too much sleep, he bought Richey Animal Clinic in 2006.
Dr. Sullivan has been happily married since 1997. His wife works for Shell, and together they have three sons who continue to make him proud. His oldest son, Zach, graduated from Baylor University with a degree in Supply Chain Management. His middle son, Connor, attends Texas A&M University and plans to follow in his dad’s footsteps by becoming a veterinarian. His youngest son, Jacob, is studying engineering at Texas A&M University.
The Sullivan household also includes two feline supervisors. Willow is the definition of a laid-back cat; she graciously allows affection whenever she’s in the mood. Tux, on the other hand, is convinced his life’s purpose is to keep Willow on her toes by antagonizing her whenever possible. Somehow, they make it work.
In his free time, he likes to…wait, he doesn’t have any free time. On those rare occasions when he actually has free time, you’d probably find him spending time with his family, working out, fishing, playing a little poker, or cheering on the Aggies, Baylor Bears, and Iowa Hawkeyes.
