True Companions Veterinary Clinic

Most reviewers praise the clinic's low cost and caring approach, with longtime supporters highlighting their mission and some staff showing genuine gentleness. However, consistent complaints surface about front desk miscommunication, disorganized records, and inconsistent handling of anxious animals. Recent reviews suggest some operational improvements, though experiences remain variable. Staff quality varies significantly by individual. Dr. Obrien receives specific praise for expertise; other vets have been criticized for impatience and rough technique. Presurgical quotes sometimes feel inflated. The clinic operates as a busy, mission-driven practice, which works for some families but leaves others frustrated.

True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic

Staff and volunteers shine brightest during adoption: many adopters report feeling welcomed, guided, and grateful, especially for special needs animals. The vet clinic side is fractured. Some reviewers praise affordable care and attentiveness (notably a foster-to-adopt success with post-surgery support), while others describe vets as rude, dismissive of concerns, and inaccurate in diagnostics, leading to delayed treatment and loss of trust in the organization.
