Lone Star Equine Sports Medicine

A dedicated equine and large animal veterinary practice serving Montgomery County and the greater Houston area, led by Dr. Alvarez, providing top-tier veterinary care for performance horses of every discipline

Lone Star Equine Sports Medicine was founded by Dr. Francisco Alvarez with a singular focus: providing the highest level of equine sports medicine and veterinary care in the greater Houston area. After earning both his undergraduate and veterinary degrees from Texas A&M University and completing a specialized internship at a referral sports medicine hospital in Texas, Dr. Alvarez returned home to Montgomery County to build a practice that puts horses first. Located at 14920 FM-2854 in Montgomery, Texas — the heart of horse country — Lone Star Equine Sports Medicine is equipped to handle everything from routine wellness exams and dental care to advanced lameness workups, regenerative therapies, and pre-purchase evaluations for performance horses of every discipline. In 2021, Dr. Alvarez was honored with the PSI Practitioner of the Year award, recognizing his dedication to excellence in equine veterinary medicine
