Old Town Animal Hospital

Thanks so very much for all you do. Not only for our family, but for the kids and community! more

When I moved from Katy to the country several years ago, I was unable to take my 10-year-old toy poodle, Pepe, with me. I had no place to keep him at the new place because of a conflict with another dog and I was really afraid he would get hurt. Dr. Hicks had been Pepe's veterinarian for many years. He saw me agonizing over what to do with Pepe. Dr. Hicks and his wife graciously took in my dog as one of their own. They kept him at the clinic during the day and took him home with them at night and on weekends. Pepe became the clinic mascot. I could tell that the staff at Old Town Animal Hospital really loved him by the way they played with him. He got lots of love and attention from the staff and customers. Staff members even took turns on weekends taking him home with them. I couldn't have asked for better treatment of my dog.\r \r About two years later, Dr. Hicks called and told me that Pepe had developed a cancerous rectal tumor. Dr. Hicks said that he did not know how long Pepe had to live. I went to Katy as often as I could to see Pepe. I was heartbroken that he was so sick.\r \r A few months later, Dr. Hicks called to say that Pepe was in a lot of pain and needed to be put to sleep. But he said he wanted me to come see him one last time. I went. I will always treasure the time I spent with Pepe that day. I will remember the way he smiled at me that day forever. That is definitely the way I want to remember him. He had been my dog ever since I was a little boy.\r \r It is terrible to lose a beloved pet, but Dr. Hicks and his staff are the most compassionate people I have ever met. God bless you Dr. Hicks, Mrs. Hicks, and the entire staff at Old Town Animal Hospital for what you did for Pepe and for me. I really mean this from the bottom of my heart.\r \r I will always take my animals to Dr. Hicks and the people at Old Town Animal Hospital. This is true even though I have to drive over 50 miles one way just to get there. There is no doubt in my mind that they really care about both the pets and the pet owners. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. more

Thank you for being the best vet I have ever known. You are so compassionate and you love all animals as if they were yours. The Lord has a special place and heaven for people like you who love his animals he has created. All animals will make it to the Celestial degree where God, the Father and Christ dwell forever and I know you'll be there in the highest heaven after judgement day. more

Thank you so much for taking care of our baby Katy. She (a curious cat) got the tip of her tail caught in the door when she tried to get outside. The techs were so sweet & the dr just snipped the dead bone & she's as good as new & they didn't charge us anything. I will recommend this vet to everyone. Especially since we were told surgery would have cost $800+. Thank you!!! more

Dr. Hicks and his staff are wonderful. It is like an old time vet's office. Nothing fancy, just caring for the animals. I have called him on weekends and holidays and he always calls me back. I would highly recommend him! more

My dog has been seeing Dr. Hicks at Old Town Animal hospital for 3 years. Both doctors at this location are very knowledgeable and very nice, explaining everything and going over instructions well. Our dog has done their boarding for years as well and this is the only place we've taken him to recently where he has not come home with kennel cough. They seem to do really well with him because he doesn't seem skittish to go. More importantly (for me anyways) is the grooming! Wow...top notch! Our dog always sees Veronica and she is wonderful! He comes home looking great and smelling even better. I can't recommend her services enough. more

Dr. Hicks is a great veterinarian! We have taken all our pets to him for years. We are extremely pleased with the care and compassion he shows each of them. We would never go anywhere else but to Dr. Hicks and Old Town Animal Hospital. more

A big thank you to the doctor and staff that took such good care of Trixie for Shannon. Trixie is a huge part of her life. more

Dr. Rivera is amazing. She saved my 15 year old westie, and takes great care of my many other cats and dogs. The receptionists are very nice and the technicians are very professional. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is great. I wouldn't trust my pets with anyone else!\r more

Old Town has been the best vet hospital I have found. They have taken great care of my dog and my cat. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Katy area. My dog just loves going there as it has always been a great experience, and she gets a treat! more

A great value for the money. more

Thank you all for your generous care of my baby girl, Bo Peep. more

We had to euthanize Sheba (our family dog) last Friday and I knew it was going to be a trying time for our family especially my wife, Kathy. Sheba was very special to us and I wanted you to know that your staff could not have been better to us and Sheba! They were very comforting and supportive and helped us make a very difficult decision that had to be made. Sheba lived a very long 16 years and I feel that we stretched the last 5 years out of her with your help! My two kids were very young when we got Sheba as a puppy and they grew up with her being their buddy and companion! Everyone, that ever met Sheba made a comment about what a good dog she was. I am pointing out how much we loved and cared for Sheba because with your staff being so professional, caring and loving we were able to give Sheba the dignity and comfort at the end of her life that she greatly deserved! Dr. Hicks, on behalf of our family and Sheba, please accept our sincere thanks for taking such excellent care of Sheba and please pass onto your staff our gratitude for being there last Friday and many times before. Your caring will always be remembered! more

Dr Hicks has been my vet since 1985. He is the most knowledgeable, caring and compassionate vet I have ever known. I have more than 15 horses he cares for, dogs and cats. I had a dog that was allergic to everything on the planet just about and took medication his whole life (he lived to be 13) and he was a 90 lb mutt. Dr Hicks worked with us to always keep him healthy and whenever I had to leave town he stayed at the clinic and was treated like a King! He could not have been in better hands. When his time came, he was so supportive, it made it a little easier.\r I have had him at my place at ALL hours of the night. He has stayed with my animals all night at times. Whenever I need him, he is there.\r \r Except for my first dog, all of my animals have been rescues. I live 45 minutes from Katy and I would never consider taking them to anyone else. I live in the middle of nowhere, on a dead end (literally) and have many dumped and abused animals. One of my dogs had been so abused it took us 3 full months to touch him. When I finally did, I grabbed him and got him to Dr Hicks. He was a long haired dog and he was extremely matted. Michelle Hicks spent hours shaving him to relieve his pain and he had heart worms, no teeth and was petrified, but with the loving care he received from Dr Hicks, he lived with me for 10 years until recently developing cancer. Making the decision to end his suffering was hard, but again, he made it easier. I was able to bring my other dogs to the clinic to be with him in the end.\r \r My newest dog, Domino was found in Fulshear covered in mange, with about 60 shot pellets spread over his entire body and a 9 mm bullet in his leg. He spent approximately 2 months at the clinic and is now the picture of health and a great dog. more

Really!!! We've been taking four dogs to Dr. Hicks for more than five years and he is EASILY one of the most knowledgeable, experienced, skilled and compassionate vets I've encountered anywhere - and we've lived in North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania as well as Texas.\r \r In fact, we ran into a very questionable, opportunist vet in Katy some years ago - that gave us an ""emergency"" call when we were in vacation in Las Vegas, trying to sell us some expensive - and completely unnecessary - dental work on a 12-year-old dog.\r \r Dr. Hicks, by contrast, is highly principled and caring, and has been known to make ""house calls"" at night to ranches to attend to sick horses. THAT'S how caring and expert Dr. Hicks is! more

Great vet--great care! We are very pleased with the care our pets get from Dr. Hicks and the staff at Old Town Animal Hospital. We would never consider going anywhere else. more

I have two labs that I take to Dr. Hicks. The staff at O.T.A.H. is very professional and the pricing is very reasonable. Dr. Hicks and his staff provided excellent care to diagnose a bacteria my dog received while recovering from a snake bite. It took a couple of tests but I felt they were very concerned with my dog's health and worked as quickly as they could to get him the correct treatment. In fact, they were able to find a very inexpensive treatment for the bacteria rather than using a very common expensive medicine they had on hand. As a 'true client' I highly recommend O.T.A.H. And although I am not family, Dr. Hicks and his staff always make me feel like extended family when I have to bring my dogs in. more

Don't listen to the bad reviews!Dr. Hicks is the best vet I have ever known.We had to put our dog down a couple of years ago, our dog had a stroke. So we loaded him into the back of the truck and hauled him over to O.T.A.H. Within seconds Dr. Hicks came outside and examined our dog. He said "" I'm not going to move him, he's already in enough pain. I'm just going to uthinize him right here."" Within days of our dogs death, Dr. Hicks staff sent us a postcard saying how sorry they were for our loss. If that's not the best vet I don't know who is. more

Caring vet that takes the time to talk to you about your animals situation. Polite staff that is very helpful. If you need a great vet this is one! more

Dr. Hicks has been my pet's vet for many years. My furry, four legged children have been under the care of Dr Hicks from the time they were babies thru the hardest time of having to say good bye to them. They are very lucky to have him as their doctor. Dr Hicks has always been there when we needed him the most. Cannot ask for a more caring and dedicated doctor. Thanks Dr Hicks. more
