Dr. Greg Matt grew up in a small town in Iowa and was inspired to become a veterinarian by the care and compassion displayed by his family’s veterinarian. Following graduation from Iowa State University, then Iowa State University School of Veterinary Medicine with his D.V.M., he joined a busy practice in Dallas, Texas with a large caseload. There he developed extensive experience in internal medicine and surgery. In 1985 he moved to Houston, Texas purchasing Mt. Houston Animal Clinic. Then in 1995 he purchased Beechnut Animal Clinic located in southwest Houston. Dr. Matt strongly believes in staying current in the ever-changing world of veterinary medicine, and continues to practice on the leading edge- whether it be medical protocol, pharmacology or technology .He particularly enjoys tackling difficult to diagnose cases and is always searching for new technology to support his growing staff of doctors. In Dr. Matt's own words, “The most rewarding aspect of having practices with multiple doctors is you get to surround yourself and work with incredibly intelligent, compassionate, and talented people. I honestly feel honored that they have chosen to work with me.” When Dr. Matt isn’t running from clinic to clinic, he’s running from his teenage son's lacrosse games to his eleven year old daughter's basketball games with his wife Robin. When he finally gets a chance to relax you can find him ocean kayaking, boating, playing electric guitar, scuba diving or building computers. The family pets are Fisher a rescued golden retriever, Champ a local shelter dog, and Gus-Gus a black bear hamster. And on a regular basis there is an extra golden retriever hanging out with the gang. The Matt’s are a foster home for the Golden Beginnings Golden Retriever Rescue Group. |

Dr. Anna McMurrey is a Houston native. Growing up in Alief, she knew from a young age that she wanted to be a veterinarian. Her parents tolerated having “a zoo” in their home, which at one point in time consisted of over 15 animals. She attended Texas A&M University undergraduate school as well as Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine. After an internship in Boston, she was hired on to Beechnut Animal Hospital in April of 2008. Her love of veterinary medincine comes not only from the joy she gets out of being with animals, but the knowledge that she can help ease pain, cure diseases and generally help the lives of her patients as well as the people who care for them. She also loves having a challenging and yet very rewarding career. In her free time, she enjoys scuba diving, traveling, reading and is currently planning her wedding with her fiance, Danny. |
