Meet Dr. Adria Flowers Dr. Cherese Sullivan | Veterinarian

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Adria Flowers Dr. Cherese Sullivan and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Adria Flowers, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Dr. Flowers I wanted to create a clinic that was modern and created inclusivity. It was never my dream but wanted something that was different than most clinics.

Dr. Sullivan
I thought that there are other people out here pursing their dreams and having something to call their own in our industry and why not us? At the point I considered it I had the key thing that was missing from the start which was experience. After 20+ years in the industry and more than 10 as a veterinarian I was ready to get started!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Dr. Flowers I am honestly still learning how to be a business woman. The medicine comes natural to me but handling finances and financial trends is something that I am still learning.

Dr. Sullivan
Skyline is a modern and unique veterinary clinic. When you come in you are welcomed by our diverse staff and each pet is treated as an individual. We are proud to serve the community of Greater Third Ward Houston, Texas.
It was not an easy road, many people told us to give up on bringing a vet clinic to this community. However, we knew it was underserved and in need of high-quality veterinary care.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Dr. Flowers I would say let’s go to NASA and then head over to the beach for the day. The next few days head to midtown/heights area for cool spots and hangouts.

Dr. Sullivan
I would recommend many of the Black-owned businesses on the Almeda corridor where our clinic resides for food, shopping, music, and hanging out.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Dr. Flowers- My Mother, Elvena, she raised me and taught me almost everything I know. Most importantly to pursue my dreams and never give up.

Dr. Sullivan
My mother as well. She is a woman of many accomplishments including being the first African American woman become a Rear Admiral in the Navy. She always was someone that I aspired to be like.
