What recent reviews say

Most visits run smoothly with kind staff and quick access to care, but customers report sharp inconsistencies in front desk reliability and occasional staff rudeness. Dr. Molloy earns particular loyalty; euthanasia experiences vary widely from compassionate to distressing, and the $50 appointment deposit policy has fueled frustration when not applied uniformly.

Recent shift: No clear recent shift in sentiment, though complaints about the $50 deposit policy began within the past month.

Praised for
  • compassionate end-of-life care
  • friendly and professional staff
  • easy appointments and walk-ins
  • fairly priced first visit
Watch-outs
  • inconsistent front desk communication
  • rude technician behavior
  • poor handling of euthanasia appointments
  • no-show deposit policy not enforced fairly
compassionate-stafffriendly-front-deskskilled-vetspoor-communicationgentle-with-animalslong-wait-times
Best for: Pet owners seeking same-day appointments and weekend walk-in access; those with established loyalty to Dr. Molloy.
Think twice if: Staff reliability varies: front desk often miscommunicates or doesn't answer phones; euthanasia appointments have delivered both care and distress depending on which staff member you encounter.

  • named veterinarian Dr. Molloy highly regarded
  • same-day sick pet appointments

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Molloy is a named veterinarian reviewers praise for kindness and skill
  • technician named Bre received complaint for rude attitude
  • weekend walk-in clinic offered
  • $50 deposit policy for appointment no-shows mentioned but inconsistently enforced
  • same-day sick pet appointments available

True Companions Veterinary Clinic

4.2(1045)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

True Companions has strong appeal for budget-conscious pet owners seeking gentle, skilled care, with Dr. O'Brien consistently praised for expertise and compassion. However, a persistent pattern of front-desk communication failures and inconsistent vet behavior leaves some clients frustrated. Recent reviews suggest staff improvements, but past clients report high-stress handling of nervous animals and contradictory information that has cost them time and trust.

True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic

4.2(669)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

True Companions couples adoption services with low-cost veterinary care that wins steady praise for compassion toward special-needs animals and patient staff. However, recent reviews flag serious concerns: multiple clients report rude vets, misread medical results, poor record-keeping, and a marked drop in care quality after staff changes. The no-kill policy itself has been questioned by adopters who say animals were euthanized without consent.
