Over 15 years of loyalty is common at this Baker clinic, where veterinarians including Dr. Barr, Dr. Audrey Barnett, Dr. Theissen, and Dr. Howard earn trust through calm, thorough exams and end-of-life care that does not rush anxious pets. Staff (notably vet techs Brianna and Toya) stay attentive to each animal's comfort, and reviewers consistently praise the lack of upselling, though one recent critic disputed pricing transparency and raised concerns about private equity ownership.
Services span wellness exams and preventive care to dental cleanings, lipoma removal, and ear treatment. The facility is described as clean and welcoming. Cost concerns surface occasionally, but most reviewers who mention price find it reasonable for surgery and specialized procedures. One reviewer explicitly contrasted the clinic's restraint with experiences elsewhere, stating staff never recommend unnecessary treatments.
Review evidence is limited. The practice claims AAHA accreditation, AAFP membership, and Cat Friendly Practice status. Website lists general wellness, dental exams, surgery, radiography, and laboratory services since 1999.
True Companions earns strong marks for adoption support, clean facilities, and affordable spay/neuter services, with staff like Savannah and Liz praised for patience and responsiveness. Serious gaps emerge in veterinary care: multiple reviewers report rude doctors, misread test results that delayed treatment, and poor record accuracy, with some crediting departures of earlier vets for declining quality.
Strong core of five-star praise for caring doctors and affordable care masks real friction. Dr. David O'Brien and the clinic's mission attract loyal long-term clients, but front-desk miscommunication, medication mix-ups, and inconsistent staff demeanor during exams have frustrated repeat customers. Recent reviews suggest management improvements, though some past visits left dogs traumatized and owners questioning the clinic's grasp on pet handling standards. Vaccination, neuter, spay, and pharmacy services are clearly offered. Prices run $50 for exams and basic shots to $196-$318 for surgical procedures. Appointment-only service serves Denver. The clinic operates under MaxFund's banner, a rescue-focused organization, which appeals to price-conscious owners but seems to grapple with growing demand.
