Beechcrest Animal Clinic

Dr. Hassan and his staff are the most kind, caring, animal loving people I have ever come across at a clinic. Trust me, they will put your pet's interest first. You will be glad you took your pet there. I have been taking my pet to this clinic since 2009. Read Less

I used to bring my dogs here when it was still Dr. Maxon's. Though I was sad to see him go, I still decided it was only fair to give his successor, Dr. Hassan, a chance. He didn't have the same genuine nature and didn't take the time with my dogs as I hoped he would. One of my dogs had an ear infection and after many visits and spending a lot of money on medication, poor Thor was still scratching (sometimes until he bled!) It wasn't until I got a second opinion (after already spending a lot of money already) that I realized it was a whole different issue and took another type of medication to clear it. I have completely switched over from beechcrest, but the positive memories of Dr. Maxon will always remain. Read Less

We took my dog there for a second opinion since my dog had stopped eating and lost a significant amount of weight. Instead of prescribing numerous medications like the first vet, Dr. Hassan ordered labwork in an effort to diagnose my dog. Upon arrival, Dr. Hassan and his staff were really nice and professional. They took the time to explain why the labs were needed and what my dog might have. Sadly, the news was not good, but Dr. Hassan made an effort to treat my dog in an effort to get him better. He was very sincere and professional. He treated my dog and was truthful when my dog showed no signs of improvement. We made the decision to euthanize him. Dr. Hassan and his staff made sure we knew each step in the process and allowed us time in the room to grieve. They even sent us a sympathy card and it was personalized and signed by each member of his staff. Even though our encounter was brief and sad, I was very happy to have taken my Randy to Dr. Hassan. In the future, I will make sure to take my future fur babies to this office. Thanks Dr. Hassan and staff for all you do! Read Less

Initially hard to find, but worth the hunt. Tucked away in an Asian strip center, this is a nice family vet. I've been taking my dog here since she was 2 mos old. She is now 3 1/2 yo. I've always been treated with respect and honesty. Dr. Maxson/Dr. Hassan and the techs take time to get to know the pets and allow them to become comfortable with them. They tell you costs up front. Prices are very reasonable. They call multiple times to check up on my girl when she is sick/post-op to track recovery/changes. I appreciate all their effort. My pup is always happy to see Dr. Hassan and the team. They always leave things on a positive note. Dr. Hassan even escorts me and my pup to my car when it starts to get dark. I highly recommend Beechcrest. Read Less

It was my first time here with my pet dog, i read the rating comments since the previous doctor is retired now and wasnt sure if i should go. Honestly, everyone bere was very friendly and they would answer any questions even when i just called in to ask. My dog got better within a few days and they still call to check up on him. Sometimes theyre busy, which might explain why they pay a little less time on your pet, but he's still a doctor so he knows what he's doing and still examine fully. He gave me a discount too, since we're kind of on a budgetRead Less

New vet, but I had not been there for awhile. Office visit was $30, now $50. I'm not saying it was not worth it but for basic care like shots, I prefer Pet Express $9 office visit and low priced shots. Read Less

Dr. Maxson took care of my min pin, Jasper until his death. He took care of my rat terrier, Lilly until her death. Now Dr. Hassan takes care of my shih Tzu, Bella Marie. I love this vet clinic & the people that work there. Read Less

Dr. Maxson has retired and the new vet is horrible. He just wants you to get in, pay, then get out. The sutures he gave my cat barely held the skin together before we even reached home. I'm never coming back.Read Less

Dr. Maxson is no longer there. It is very sad. There is no personal connection or empathy for your pet. It is pretty much $$$$$$$$. The Vet seems to be very COLD and took 5 minutes to exam the sick pet. The SAD thing about this is that the Vet did not even take the temperature of the pet and recommended $$$$$$ tests. Our family missed Dr. Maxson so much. He is a wonderful VET.Read Less

Doctor Maxim has been our family's vet since early 90s. All of our relatives have our pets going to him as he is a very caring, loving animal doctors. Dr. Maxim's service price is very reasonable. He cares very much of our pets and the owners feelings as well. Very hard to find such honorable tradition vet like him nowadays. Read Less

Dr. Maxson is an incredible vet! You can tell he and his staff care for our dogs and really have a passion for what they do. Dr. Maxson is very knowledgeable and there hasn't been a problem yet that he has not been able to help us with. On a recent visit for my 11 year old boxer who was limping severely and could barely walk, he gave him an anti-inflammatory and antibiotic and he was better by the next day. He hasn't had any problems since. I truly believe his guidance & care has helped our boxer to live a long and healthy life. I have referred several people there who were unhappy with their previous vet and they are now happy clients of Dr. Maxson. He is the best! Read Less

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. 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. thank you dr maxson for being there and who you are as a human being. and ditto for the lovely staff also. love and light from: darlin & little boy dragon Read Less

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! Read Less

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. Read Less

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. Read Less

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! 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. 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! Read Less

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 Read Less

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. Read Less

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. Read Less

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! Read Less

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. Read Less
