Beechcrest Animal Clinic

Beechcrest is the best little hole-in-the-wall vet clinic ever! They don't even have a sign over their door, and that is just how humble they are. Dr. Maxson is the very best vet I have ever visited for my dog. He is kind and compassionate, and his staff is as well. We never have to wait very long, and he handles my dog with the utmost care and respect. They will not overcharge you, and will not do anything that isn't absolutely essential. You can thoroughly trust this vet. It is completely out of the way from where I live now, but I don't care - it's worth the drive. more

and good luck finding one comparable......I have been to some that were ok but this man is stunning ......and his clinic ......as one poster said.......clean clean clean. I had a weimar for 17 yrs with allergies and spent $$$....even accupuncture.....dr maxson helped me more than anyone else with being just logical ,considerate of monies and compassionate to the animal and her healing all at the same time......so he helped both her and me at the same time..........this is a stunning trait in any human. \r I now have a chihuhua with no problems but old age now and never had a vet for him ......so when the problem came up i did not hesitate all these yrs later to go see dr maxson........ not only did he know and remember me and darlin (my long gone weimar) but still had her picture on the bullitin board ....right where we had placed it after all these years......stunning.....and solved my chihuahua's (little boy dragon) problem with one visit (i thought i would be in for test and such....there were none.....only a cheap prescription i pick up every so often....that fixes what is wrong. \r thank you dr maxson for being there and who you are as a human being. and ditto for the lovely staff also.\r \r love and light from:\r darlin &\r little boy dragon\r more

I have been going to see Dr. Maxson (at Beechcrest Animal Clinic) for 11 years now. Reasons why I recommend him: + you won't find anyone else who truly CARES for your pet + the staff is very FRIENDLY + Dr. Maxson is considerate of your TIME and MONEY- he will not suggest to ""run tests"" if they are not necessary + in the event that he does not know 100% what the problem is, he will let you know; he is HONEST + he is COMPASSIONATE and wants the best for your pet + very reasonable PRICES - you won't get over-charged with Dr. Maxson We have moved several times within the last 11 years (out-of-state, too). No other vet can compare. I have been over-charged, my dogs and wallet has suffered with other vets. Although I live 1.5 hours away, I still drive to see Dr. Maxson. I recommend him to anyone who has a pet. I just hope he never retires! more

After having a bad experience with another vet in the westchase area, i stumbled on Dr. Maxson while living in the Alief area in the early 90's. He's simply the best. Knowledeable, caring to the animals and their owners. Very reasonable prices. he's treating one of my very sick kitties right now and my baby is back feeling better. i live on the north side of houston and i still make the trip down to Beechnut Animal Clinic without hesitation. I with Barbarasma....i too hope he never retires. Pros: Knowlegable, caring, great staff, clean facility. more

My family and I have been going to Dr Maxson for nearly 30 years. You can not build a better relationship with a vet then with Dr Maxson. I moved from Alief to NW houston and no matter how far the drive I will continue to go to Dr Maxson. No other vet will mourn with you when your pet dies, you never feel like a number at this Vet. Pros: Personal, Caring, nice, Cons: Location has become ""unsafe"" more

I haven't been to Dr. Maxson's clinic for over 9 years but I still have warm fuzzies for his treatment of my cats! \r \r I just got through sending an email to a friend telling her how great this vet is. His staff was great-very friendly, the clinic was clean and appealing. \r \r I used to live in Dayton, TX and I'd drive all the way to SW Houston to have my cats treated. I'd would definitely refer him to anyone that wants a good vet! Pros: Great vet, staff and prices. Good parking Cons: Neighborhood isn't as nice as it used to be. :-( And Beechnut traffic can be very heavy at times. more

I went to many vets in Alief and beyond for 2 years and COULD NOT find one that was very knowledgeable or kind. Referred to specialty clinic that charged $500 the 1st visit! The pymt plan was ""pay now or we keep your dog & charge boarding fees"". First concern-ability to pay at visit. In 1994, I asked a groomer if she knew a good vet that was very caring. Without hesitation she recommended Dr. Maxson. He treated my sickly girl for the next 10 years and was so very kind and loving to her. He always showed consideration for us too; offering treatment options, realizing that one's inability to pay for expensive treatment in no way diminished one's love for their pet. Husband & I were devastated when Helen was diagnosed with a fast growing cancer; she died in my arms 4 weeks later. We called Dr. Maxson, Jan said bring her in. In the exam room, both of us crying, our girl wrapped in her blanket, Janice gently took her from me & began to clean her face and body. Husband asked Janice for scissors (no explanation). She returned with scissors, brush, a twist tie, and envelope, then left us alone for the next hour. Our dog was a schnauzer/poodle mix, runt of the litter that grew to 38 lbs. & looked like an English sheepdog. In 12 1/2 years, I never cut any hair on her head. Husband brushed her hair up, tied w/ twist tie, & tearfully, we cut a 4"" lock of her hair. The grief that engulfed us extended to family & friends; everyone loved Helen. We were so touched when we rec?d. a sympathy card from Dr. Maxson & staff. This vet truly understands that pets are FAMILY MEMBERS & respects them as such when in his care. Office & exam rooms have always been spotless & odor free. Dr. Maxson is extremely knowledgeable & enthusiastically spends as much time as needed. Staff has always been wonderful about giving short-notice appts. 3 Yrs. ago we got 2 VERY rowdy puppies; so brother went to new home in Magnolia. My Great Friend! was so impressed with Dr. Maxson that she still uses his clinic Pros: CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN, VERY REASONABLE, EXCEPTIONAL DOCTOR WITH EXCEPTIONAL STAFF Cons: NOT ONE more

Beechcrest Animal Clinic was recommended to me when I adopted my baby beagle Charlie and later, Princess . I have been very satisfied with the friendly and caring staff. The clinic is always clean and efficient. My dogs love going there, that says a lot. Pros: Clean, caring, and efficient. more

I have had a Labrador that recently had to be put down, and Dr. Maxson and his loving staff were extremely caring and understanding. Sometimes your down on your luck with money and Dr. Maxson and staff were always so flexible about payment options. We have 5 cats now and Dr. Maxsons office has always been loving and very caring towards our animals. They treat our animals like they are part of their very own family. His office is always spotless and staff always friendly. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone. They say you get what you pay for, but for Dr. Maxson, you get way more than just that. 7-8 years of going to Dr. Maxson, and still won't go anywhere else. Pros: Loving, Caring, Friendly, Generous, Honest, Hardworking, Go Above and Beyond more

Dr. Max is the best. I have used him for about 7 years now. He is always caring and devoted to animals. He also understands the practicle, money, aspect of pets, too. He has always treated my cat and dog with love and kindness. All of my friends go to Dr. Max based on my recommendation. I would highly recommend him as not only the most caring of vets, but also the most economical vets in the Houston area. Two thumbs up from me! more

I have been with Dr. Maxxon for over 25 years with both Dogs and Cats. He is the greatest. He is sincere and attentive to the animals needs and the owners as well. I would recommend him to anyone and I have had several people to use him and they too were very happy with him. Pros: Excellent Vet, Great with animals, Wonderful with the ow more
