Can I get an appointment on short notice?

Yes. Reviewers consistently report same-day or next-day availability, a key advantage for those switching from vets with longer wait times.

What is the Total Care Plan and who does it suit?

A tiered membership ($50-80/month depending on pet age/needs) covering all visits, vaccinations, and major procedures like spay/neuter and dental. Reviewers on fixed budgets found it worthwhile; one noted it may not suit everyone's situation.

Can my anxious senior pet visit comfortably?

Multiple reviewers with anxious or senior dogs report the entire team takes time to help pets warm up and feel safe. The practice prioritizes comfort over pushing treatments if a pet is stressed.

What recent reviews say

Patients consistently praise Dr. Lisano and staff for calm, attentive care and unusual flexibility around pet anxiety. The standout draw is immediate appointment availability, clear upfront pricing, and the Total Care Plan that makes routine and surgical care affordable on fixed budgets.

A single recent visit raised concern over a technician's inaccurate weight estimate affecting medication dosing, a serious issue that one long-time client withdrew their earlier five-star review over. Otherwise, spay/neuter outcomes and follow-up communication earn repeated mention.

Downtown Animal Care Center

4.3(1266)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Downtown Animal Care Center earns solid marks for friendly staff, quick appointment access, and weekend walk-in clinics. Most reviewers praise compassion during difficult moments and fair pricing. However, front desk inconsistency and occasional staff rudeness frustrate some, and at least one family reported a deeply upsetting end-of-life experience marked by poor communication and lack of care.

True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic

4.2(669)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

True Companions draws strong praise for adoption experiences and special-needs cat care, with staff frequently described as kind and compassionate. However, recent complaints center on veterinary care quality: misread test results, dismissive vets, inappropriate comments to owners, and euthanization of an elderly cat admitted as a no-kill case. The loss of a well-regarded vet (Dr. O'Brien) appears to have coincided with service decline.

True Companions Veterinary Clinic

4.2(1043)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most visits feel professional and humane, with staff genuinely invested in animal welfare and prices well below typical vet costs. However, front desk errors (lost records, contradictory phone-to-counter information) and a few vet or tech interactions marked by impatience or rough handling undermine the promise; experience varies sharply by appointment and staff member. Dr. David Obrien earns specific praise for expertise. Reviewers consistently note affordability ($50 exams, low surgical pricing). Recent reviews hint at operational improvements, but medication handling missteps and lack of ownership for mistakes remain red flags for long-term clients.
