I cannot recommend this place enough! Came here to get my dog neutered and not only did the young gentleman at the front desk give me peace of mind dropping him off, but he also got to know my dog a bit before taking him to the back. I've had another dog neutered in the past in a different state and remember the healing process being difficult, so I was expecting the same this time around. They do keep the pets all day, I'm assuming to monitor them after surgery and picking my pup up, I could've sworn he had not just been through surgery! Super happy, not drowsy at all and the lovely front desk ladies reassured me that I could call anytime with any questions I had. Love this clinic:) read more

Dr Freund and this clinic provide attentive care and I trust them completely with my two dogs. I have never had anything but wonderful experiences here, and I have seen lots of them because my dogs have a death wish. Thanks for keeping them alive despite their best efforts Dr Freund and team, Jonathan Mulvihill. read more

Coronado Animal Clinic - Demon dogs - Veterinarians Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Wow. I do not write reviews often, I don't typically care enough to....but when I went to confirm the phone number on google (new phone drama) and I saw some of these reviews; I was shocked. I have lived in many cities and several states with my best-est Cavalier King Charles Spaniel friends; always researching and investing in vets that will offer this breed/my best friends' the best possible care. I have utilized Coronado since my transfer a few years ago from Chicago. The staff is kind, always....but most importantly, Dr. Roger Freund is incredible. The complaints about wait time are absolutely silly. I've never been to a vet in my life where there wasn't waiting involved. Ever. . . This isn't supposed to be a drive-through, people! The only essential thing to me is QUALITY CARE and DETAILED communication DIRECTLY from the Veterinarian. If that means that I'm waiting a bit because this amazing vet is taking his time whilst caring for someone else's little creature, so be it. It's a gift, the time and attention that Dr. Freund gives to your creature in the exam room. My experience with Coronado has been wonderful. My two beloved friends Bohdi and Bosli passed on, one in Coronado's offices and I now have two beautiful clay paw-prints and urns with their treasured ashes. I trust Coronado and Dr. Roger Freund. read more

Dr. Freund and his staff are amazing! My office found a kitten trapped in a storm drain. Once we managed to rescue it, we knew it needed veterinary attention. It was so tiny! When I went to pick her up, the first thing I noticed upon walking into the office was it was clean, very positive staff talking with other patrons and loving on their animals, and one very dedicated staff member trying to work at a computer while a cat (perhaps king of the office) walked back and forth in front of her screen. Meeting Dr. Freund was amazing. I told him I didn't have any pets, but I felt a bond with this kitten and wanted to take good care of her, so he talked with me and educated me on her needs and how to properly care for her. I appreciated him taking this time so much. Pennywise as I've decided to call her, will need her first shots in 2-3 weeks and I wouldn't even consider taking her anywhere else. read more

great vet . compassionate, caring. He's the Vets Vet! wouldn't go to any other Doctor.

Wife took dog for nails etc. Came back with a terrible limp so-called for an immediate appointment to determine source of problem - at first refused on next day visitbut after insisting that it be looked into was advised to come in tomorrow and wait to see the doctor. Waited but left after told would be longe than time she had so left, knowing my concern that whatever was causing the limp should not develop into something worse. Disappointed in their lack of concern after creating a problem that should have been avoided (one of the nails had been cut extremely short, apparently by an untrained tech). The doctor appeared to know her stuff, though. read more

Staff is rude every time I go or call. Horrible smell coming from the dirty back area. Dr. Freund misinformed me and my cat died a week after going there. Average prices. read more

Something went horribly wrong... The Coronado Animal Clinic was recommended by a friend and had good reviews, so I decided to take my best friend Riley here. I believe our first visit to the clinic was in May 2017. I took Riley, a 7 1/2 year old Maltese, for a problem he was having with his hair initially and also to monitor a collapsing trachea and heart murmur. My initial visit was for what was diagnosed as folliculitis, and Riley was being treated with antibiotics and was showing improvement, then on June 22nd we went for a follow up visit on the folliculitis and I asked the doctor's opinion on what to do to help with his collapsing trachea, which was causing increased coughing at times. (In the past with another vet, it was recommended to give him hydrocodone syrup or isoproterenol, which helped subdue the coughing...but new this was something that he and I would have to live with as a remedy.) On 6/22 after, ruling out that surgery might be an option but not necessarily a cure, Dr. Freund recommended a compound medicine that was developed by Auburn University called " Auburns Collapsing Trachea Solution Suspension " that supposedly had great success with other pets with a collapsing trachea...so I decided to give it a try to help Riley. The only side effect per the doctor would be drowsiness. I took the prescription to McCrory's Pharmacy as recommended by the doctor. I picked up the prescription from the pharmacy on Friday, 6/23 and the pharmacist also noted that drowsiness would be a side effect. We had a good weekend on so no medication was needed. After having a little coughing spell on Sunday night I decided to try the new prescription on Monday morning before heading to work. Riley always goes to the office with me daily. So around 6:15am I gave Riley his first dosage the this compound formula that was recommended...by 6:45am Riley died in the car on I-10 on the way to work. Needless to say I was sad and angry that he went before his time, by something that was suppose to help him, with the only side effect being drowsiness...but killed him within minutes. I can only assume that one of three things caused this unfortunate death. -possibly Riley wasn't a good candidate for this compound formula -possibly a problem with the compound formula, but was assured it was formulated correctly -possibly the recommended dosage was too high I'm still looking for answers for this unnecessary tragedy...but I'm finding none, and may never! RIP Riley....I'm so sorry. read more

Wow! Probably the best vet experience I have ever had. I walked in and was immediately taken back to a room (which I very much appreciated bc my kitty gets so scared waiting around other animals In the waiting room). The vet techs were very gentle and they were able to draw blood in less than 10 minutes. I was most impressed with Dr. Freund. He was phenomenal. I loved his energy and could feel how passionate he is about taking care of animals. He explained everything so thoroughly and put all my worries at ease. The front desk girl wasn't the friendliest but other than that it was a great experience and I 10/10 recommend this clinic! read more

This terrible vet had the audacity to tell me my dogs paw was ok after her limping on it for a few day so they charged me for the X-ray never showed me it, gave me pain killers and said she will be fine in 2 weeks. I followed the advice ended up taking her to another vet because after 2 weeks it got worst. So I had to take her to another vet where they took another X-ray and install noticed it was a break. So if you care about your pets I wouldn't even consider this place. read more

I love the veterinarian there and he charges reasonably, however it is very difficult to schedule an appointment there. The secretaries there are rude and make it very difficult to get in. I call three weeks ahead of time to make an appointment to get my dog's teeth cleaned and they say it can't be done. They want to give me an appointment four weeks from now. The hours of operation are very impractical for working people. read more

I went to this clinic with my friend for a kitten check, and the staff was able to squeeze him in without an appointment, they were helpful and friendly right away. When the doctor came in, we mentioned a few different things, 1st the kitty had ear mites, which they flushed out at the office, without sending us home with a treatment that would certainly have an additional charge without mentioning the extra work. I was pleased. After we asked about toxoplasmosis. The doctor was patient enough to explain the history of the illness, and ways you can get it and how to avoid it. We asked if we should test the animal, and he could have said sure, and made more money, but he was honest and said his advice would be the same either way. Lastly, I also am familiar with feline leukemia and feline aids. The kitty came from a unknown location, I figured it would be good to know and take the test. Again the doctor could have given us the go ahead to make a little more money, but he said it was unnecessary. The kitty can live a long life with leukemia but if he has aids, he would probably die early in life, and that is something that would just naturally come up. Since she does not have other kitties the test is unnecessary. I was very happy with the overall experience, everyone was patient and informative even though we bombarded them with multiple questions! read more

My Girl is my World, so when her Vet retired, I was worried where I was going to take her. Since her Vet had a more Holistic approach to treatment, I was afraid to take her just to anyone. I asked Friends where they take their Four legged Furry Children, at least 4 friends said they come to Coronado Animal Clinic to a wonderful Vet, Dr. Freund and his staff. I have not been disappointed so far and he every bit the Good Vet Dr. Freund is and his caring staff. My Girl health is very important to me and I want her to be treated well until she is a very little Old lady. She is young 13 year old right now, I want to keep her happy and healthy for as long as I can. Thank you.... read more

I have been going here with my past 4 dogs which is roughly a good 10-15 years I believe. Most of the ladies in the front are very nice! They always get you in quick and the vet is very good at his job he very obviously love animals and gets the diagnosis rather quick! Any questions you have he will answer quickly and thoroughly to get you in and out with all the answers or medical attention your pet needs quickly! EVERYONE here loves animals and that is easily seen! That's why I give it five stars! read more

Dr roger fruend is the best vet in El Paso. Ive taken 5 different dogs to coranado over 10 years, purebred and mutts, and he gives them all the same excellent care. Even though i've moved to albuquerque i still bring my dogs to el paso to see roger because of his no bs approach to health care. He will not insist on unnecessary tests and treatments and will take the time to explain all options along with his recommendation. Dr fruend gives you great explanations and is amazing at his diagnosis. I've tried several other vets in albuquerque and am frustrated by the insistence of the unnecessary yearly tests most (non-thinking) vets push during their exams. I find the staff always helpful and flexible for appointments and emergency walk- in. If you read the low rating reviews carefully you will see that there are no complaints about the doctor, and the concerns about the staff can often be inflamed by the emotion of the event (did the lady with the parvovirus dog expect the dr to leave a surgery and risk the health of that patient? did she really get any faster service leaving one facility and searching for another? Self-absorbed / important maybe?) I initially choose dr fruend because he donated his time to the humane society for sprays and neuters. I continue to go to dr fruend because he is an excellent vet with great skills. read more

Awesome friendly staff and Doc! They are so helpful and accommodating. Thank you for all your kindness and help with our crew!

Receptionist is extremely rude, If you want information about anything. I would advise going somewhere else.

I wanted to like this place, and I gave them a few shots. Moving in from out of El Paso, I took to Yelp to help find a vet I would feel comfortable taking my dogs and cat. The staff was unfriendly. They were unfriendly when I called to set up the appointment- they asked me nothing about the animal I was bringing in, and when I started to explain my problem they cut me off, told me when my appointment was, and rushed me off the phone. I though maybe they were busy. When I went in, the staff was again unfriendly. They checked me in with hardly a word and avoided eye contact. The doctor was nice enough, my cat's issue was fixed, etc, however the doctor was in and out of the room in seconds. Nowhere in my visit did I feel like the doctor or staff had an interest in me or my pet other than getting us out the door as quick as possible and with limited interaction. They weren't awful- It was very easy to schedule an appointment, and their prices were more than fair. I was satisfied with the doctor's handling of my cat's problem. I tried a second time, just to see if they were having an off day, and received the exact same service. Unfriendly, impersonal, and cold. Having had multiple vets with friendly welcoming offices, and caring, interested doctors, this place is not for me. I will continue looking for a vet where I don't feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. read more

Been bringing my dogs and cats here for more than a year now. Dr. Freund was recommended to me by a friend from the dog park so I gave him a go. 1st, I took my Malinois puppy who was a bit over exuberant. The dr got her under control in seconds and even recommended a trainer (which we did end up hiring). We took our rescue shepherd mix there, our older cat (who got cancer and unfortunately had to be put down) and now, our two newest cats. We've gone there for routine vaccines, two spay surgeries, and one cats cancer. The spay surgeries were the best I've ever seen. Tiny incision that looked healed in days! Routine vaccines are done quickly and efficiently. They caught our cars intestinal cancer, but there was nothing to be done about that, unfortunately. They've never tried to over charge or add on anything unnecessary. All the folks who work there have been friendly. I now recommend this place to all my friends. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place! The staff is awesome, and the doctor is so caring. He honestly cares about your animals more than your bill! He has never overcharged me for anything, and my dogs are in there all of the time. He is cautious but also realistic, and only does what is necessary. He even left medication for me outside the office when I had to come after hours! Love this place and I wouldn't trust my dogs to anywhere else. read more

GREAT service! Short wait very sweet helpful staff! The package they give you when you bring in a puppy is great and the vet is VERY knowledgeable and kind! I was blown away! read more

I absolutely love it here! The staff is very efficient. They aren't trying to make money off you, they're there to help your pet and get you on your way. I take all my pets there. I've been to other vet offices and they just try and charge you for every little thing. This office has a lot of staff on board but everyone there knew why each pet was visiting. I was very impressed. The eastside wanted to charge my grandma 594 for her dogs teeth cleaning, mine got hers cleaned and a tooth taken out for 101!!! I really love this place. read more

I have 9 dogs and all of them come here for anything from shots to sneezes. Dr. Freund is an amazing Vet. Great with my animals. Even had a lot of surgeries done and i remember the first one lime it was yesterday.... I ask if i needed to buy a cone for him in which the Dr. Replied " If your dog needed to wear a cone, then i didn't do my job right" . thank you guysfor the years of great care :) read more

My cat was very sick and unfortunately I had to make a decision to put her to rest. The doctor's assistants did not know what they where doing to the point that they injected my cat with very small amount of liquid to put my cat to sleep, my cat was suffering so bad that they (the assistants) bought another dose and could't find my cat's vein, I got so desperately and called the Dr. to come in to the room and inject my cat. He came in and took him a matter of two seconds and injected my beautiful suffering female cat. If euthanasia is done the right way, it can be peaceful, and sometimes even beautiful, experience. Unfortunately I went through this with a male cat at our local emergency room and it was not at all like this last experience. Unfortunately, not all vets are good at this task, and there is nothing more upsetting for a cat guardian than to have a beloved cat's final moments be a struggle rather than gentle death it should be. To start with my cat's Dr. should it made the procedure. New clinical assistant personnel is definitely needed! read more

Missed diagnosis of pancreatitis - pet suffered all night. Dog was shaking , sick,vomiting, no meds. Front office staff is horrible and clueless. Pet really suffered. Debra Tyler read more

If I could have negative stars I would. This place is horrible. I had an appointment at 9 am. Well my little puppy was DYING of parvo and I took him in as soon as they were open and no one else was there because this is an emergency. Well the receptionist told me the doctor was doing a spay that morning so go get a cup of coffee and come back at 9. I mean really!! My puppy was dying and I was supposed to go get coffee and watch him pass away. Me and my husband called another clinic and they stopped what they were doing and took us right away. They also told us he is in horrible shape and is hospitalized. If we had waited till 9 my puppy could easily be dead right now. I also called up after to tell them what happened and all they had to say was. Well sorry and hung up on me!! Take your pets elsewhere. read more

Dr. Freund has been our family vet for five years, and I have nothing but compliments for him and his staff. Not only has he provided us with excellent routine care, but he saved the life of one of our cats when she went into heart failure three years ago. He could have recommended surgery (which we later learned would not have given her better odds of surviving her condition than medication alone) but instead prescribed several medications and proceeded to watch her closely during her recovery. He absolutely has the best interests of the animals under his care at heart, and will not recommend unnecessary procedures just to pad his bank account. read more
