I will never take another animal there! While the shelter itself is not the cleanest, nor most state of the art, I do respect their mission of being a "no kill" shelter. Sadly that mission seems to sometimes take over common sense. Still, my beef is not with the shelter, but rather the clinic. This place has shown the absolute worst possible care for animals I've ever seen. It may be low-cost, and it is also extremely low quality! I took a dog that was adopted to the clinic. After a series of misdiagnoses and botched surgeries, I went elsewhere. When I compared the difference between a quality vet and this clinic I was floored! The lack of post-surgical pain management alone was enough to convince me to never take any animal to that place. The filthy environment, horrible customer service and seriously questionable level of skill are the final straw. Are the vet techs even certified or trained? When left alone for a time I did a visual exploration of the facility and have never seen a medical facility of any kind with such dirt, grime, and lack of care. I can only imagine the infection, bacteria and pathogens that place is teeming with. I feel lucky that I got my dog out of there alive. Though she does have life-long consequences that could have been avoided or lessened with proper care early on. If you care for your pet at all... DO NOT GO THERE! read more

MaxFund is the only place I have taken my dog to. I completely trust them with the care of my little one. It's a very affordable option when I need to take my doggie in for a simple shot and paid way less for her spay than I thought it would be. Their hours are funky so be sure to check and call before you come in. The staff is super friendly and put me at ease right away. read more

I have never met a more unprofessional person in my life. Literally brought me to tears with how he talked to me like I was incompetent. I was just there trying to help my sick dog and all he did was yell at me and tell me how shitty the food I was feeding him was. He even told his staff to tell me to "fuck off" after i left the room. The sad thing is, they warned me about him before he even came in. So he's like this with other people. Nobody should ever be treated like this. Especially people who are looking for help with someone that is supposed to be a "professional " when it comes to animals. I'll warn everyone I can about this place. read more

I've been taking my dog here for years, lately their cleanliness has come into question. Do they not clean the rooms before each visit because they should. Also the waiting room is full of other dogs hair and smells like pee. I'm not a huge fan of leaving covered in so much hair and dander from so many other animals. Update: they wanted me to come in for an important procedure in a week, this needed to happen today, my dog has open wounds. They barely looked at her and did not seem concerned at all. This is the first time she needed something besides shots and this was not the place to go for a serious issue. Try tender touch instead, they care and are super clean. Second star is only for the price but beware, you get what you pay for. read more

True Companions Veterinary Clinic - Yuck - Veterinarians Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I was out for a drive when I found a lost wounded stray kitten, we went to 6 other places which all turned us away or threatened to euthanize unless we took financial responsibility, this was the only place that not only accepted care of the kitten, but also acted quickly and communicated flawlessly with us during the entire process, overall extremely impress will all of the staff and their capabilities with kindness, and would recommend this place for many many people in the future!!! read more

This is a really great low cost clinic in the Denver area. Sometimes there's a really long wait for walk-ins vs. appointments, but it's honestly been worth it for the care they've given my kitties every single time I've had to go in. read more

This place was a horrible experience. I took a stray cat I had found down there because it had a discharge coming from his ear. After waiting 2 1/2 hours for the vet she told me he had an infection and needed a deep cleaning for that. The procedure could not be done that day and I was supposed to drop him off the next morning, which I couldn't. I got an estimate for the work to be done and went to my regular vet who said the cat did not have an ear infection and the procedure was less than half the price Max Fund would have charged. This is a LOW cost clinic. I don't think so. I paid 47.00 to sit there for 3 hours and have them give me the wrong information. NEVER again. read more

Brought my dog here for one vaccine, needless to say after waiting over an hour and a half for "our chart to pop up" my dog did not get her vaccine. Very disappointed read more

I have been to MaxFund Wellness Center multiple times for my cats. I gave three stars because the receptionist is rude. Had I not needed the low cost at the time, her attitude would have turned me away. But, the veterinarians are very nice and calming, they are affordable, and they did a great job with both of my cats. If it was for more than just shots and check ups I'd probably look somewhere else, but for yearly services they are worth it. read more

I only knew of this place from the parents of the dog I adopted. After reading other reviews I wanted to share my experience which has never been negative. Everyone is nice, visits were timely, cost seems reasonable. read more

I have taken my pets to Dr Suro (who started this clinic & who has since retired a few times over) for 15 or so years and I will continue to take my pets to Maxfund Wellness Center because I do believe that they are there for the animals and not for a paycheck! Dr Suro told me the truth about my cat (he was dying) when All Cat Clinic in Englewood wanted to go in to do emergency surgery that started at $2500 and remove a cancerous tumor (which turned out to be a bowel movement). It is sad to see so many people stating that the vets are gruff/rude and soforth. In my experience I have experienced that the people that are there for the animals, and are the best with animals, are very often NOT good with people. It just comes with the territory. So when you state if the vet wasn't "people friendly" please make note how they were with your fur babies. These vets are there because they want to be and are there for the animals, not the paycheck. This is the ONLY PLACE I will take my animals for they TRULY care about the animals!!! read more

If I could Give them zero stars, I would. First off, there was no parking lot (my dog was injured and had to walk .25 miles to the car and back). They also had a very small space for there waiting room, and there were ALOT of dogs. The wait was THREE HOURS and they only saw one out of my two dogs, bec they didn't have enough doctors on staff. My dog went in there in so much pain, unable to walk... AND THIS VET SENT HER AWAY WITH NO MEDICATION OR SOLUTION. This place was the most unprofessional Vet Clinic I have EVER been to. DO NOT GO HERE. I ended up immediately taking my dog to a different vet, where they were easily able to diagnose her with a torn ligament and prescribed an anti-inflammatory and a pain killer. And we're scheduled for the soonest surgery available. Because of the great care at COMMUNITY PET HOSPITAL w Dr. Bruce. My dog is now feeling more comfortable. read more

Took my kitten since she's has been scratching her ears a lot. Turns out she had mites. The doctor seemed very inpatient and was not specific with the medications or how long the treatment was going to go for my kitten. I felt as if I couldn't ask questions because he would answer them while walking out the door. I felt unwelcome by the doctor but other staff were really nice and patient with me since I had to ask them the questions that I should have asked to the doctor. If you have the money to go to another vet I would 100000% recommend to go to a different vet. read more

This clinic is busy most of the time but they provide routine care and are great for things like vaccines etc. I have never made an appointment and know that if you are worried about time you shouldn't go here as a walk-in, it could take hours sometimes. read more

It was a horrible experience. Staff didn't show any care or compassion for my dog. I am pretty convinced they don't like dogs. Threaten to charge you for being late. I was seen over 15 minutes late. My dog, who has never growled at anyone, didn't like the vet. If you have seen the movie Beethoven, it was a total Beethoven moment. Walked out during the exam, because of how the treated me and my dog. If they treated my dog poorly right in front of me, I can only imagine what they do when I am not there. Ridiculous policies about only 1 person in exam room with dogs. My dog is a member of the FAMILY. Although I don't expect to have the entire family in the room, I would expect that me AND my husband be present during the examination. Lastly, one of my adult children over heard staff gossiping about pet owners and bad mouthing their questions and requests. Low cost or not doesn't excuse poor treatment of pets and their owners. AVOID!!!!! read more

I have very mixed feelings about this place. I originally took my pup to get her yearly exam and shots. I was a walk-in on a weekday around 11 am and I waited for two hours to be seen. I let them know that she had worms and we have been battling them for a while now. None of the over the counter medication was working. The vet came in after the vet tech (another half our wait) and did a 5 minute exam on my dog, administered shots and deworming medication and left. I thought it was very strange they did not want a sample of my dogs feces to assess what kind of worms she had. I offered to bring one, and the vet said there was no need and the medication would "definitely work." I made an appointment to have her spayed two weeks later because of the extremely low prices. As a broke college student, I felt this fit my budget best. By the time her surgery was due, she still had worms. They assured me they would deworm her again (but not without extra payment of course). After her surgery, my dog, Kora, developed an infection near her vagina, not the incision site. It looked as if she has been nicked when she was shaved. I have an Australian Shepard so they had to shave her belly. I tried explaining this to the doctor, but they told me I there's no way to prove it happened while under their care. Well... it definitely wasn't there before she was under your care... When we took Kora in to have this looked at, the vet tech said it was going to be a $300 surgery to fix, which was ludicrous. Thank goodness he wasn't the vet. The vet said surgery would not be needed. He prescribed some antibiotics ($50) which cleared up the area. What I am most upset about is that she still has worms!!! Like I said, I offered to bring in a fecal sample to be examined, but was turned down. So I have now paid twice to have her dewormed with no success. Cheap prices, but you get EXACTLY what you pay for. read more

Will never go back. For low cost you wait forever. They try to charge you for a lot of stuff your pet does not need voiding the low cost clinic completely. I went back there in a pinch against my better judgement. Don't take your pets there Super unprofessional and very disappointing. read more

This little gem is easy to miss (I got a "little" lost because I didn't write down good directions). I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to drop off and pick up my pup for a spay. The inside is clean and there is plenty of room for both people and pets to keep their distance. The prices are clearly shown on the check in form and the technician helped me determine what I should pick without going overboard. There was no pressure to sign up for anything and the prices are very fair. I was charged exactly what I expected to be charged. Make sure you have a credit card; they don't take cash/checks. I admit that I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but I am impressed with how well my dog is healing and how great the sutures look. The staff are polite, professional, and efficient. My pup was sent home with pain meds for a few days and now she is feeling terrific. Parking is a challenging as there isn't a parking lot, only street parking, so arrive early and plan to walk a block or two. I would not hesitate to take my pets here in the future; they did a great job and made it super easy for me, too. Way to go, MaxFund! read more

Keep your pets clear of Dr Cox. She caused the death of my 11 pound dog by not sedating him for a heart X-ray. Poor dog thought he was fighting for his life, not understanding the reason she wanted him in a certain position. He struggled mightily until his atrial tore, then collapsed and stopped breathing. Must have been traumatic for the tech watching. Dr Cox's comment to me? "Well, he couldn't take the X-ray. You need to take him immediately to VRCC. We'll call ahead to let them know you're coming. " I have zero respect for this vet and a ton of loathing for what she put my dog through. But she did give me a bottle of pills "to help his heart work" and if course charged me. read more

Excessively long wait during walk in hours. Then you get in to find out that they actually charge $34 for an exam when you're walking in. The point of going somewhere low cost is to avoid the hefty office visit fees. Then once you're in the back, you find out they charge for every little thing they do. $25 to check out my dog's ears. $20 for each vaccination. No cheaper than going to a regular vet. Probably will not come again. read more

I am in the middle of a move and totally forgot to get my cats rabies vaccine redone, so I needed to find a place as soon as possible. I had called at least 6 places before MaxFund and they were all booked out for weeks! There was definitely a bit of a wait, I probably waited about an hour just to check in, after I checked in I waited an additional 10 minutes and then we finally got in with a vet tech. This is to be expected especially after the covid shutdown and for a place this affordable. The vet tech that was helping me was very friendly and informative on what I needed to do and look out for. If you need last minute vaccines this place is definitely worth the wait! read more

I wanted to share with all of you the horrible experience que had at Maxfund Animal Adoption Center. We went there on thursday june 2nd with the intention of adopting a puppy/dog, we already have a cat we adopted 5 years ago and we wanted to add a new member to our Family. We fell in love with a little puppy called "Gumdrop" and we were ready to sign the papers and adopt him when they told us we had to wait for another family to want to adopt him so, to See which family would be "better" or "more capable" to raise him. You Can imagine how bad we felt when they told us that but we still went ahead and followed all the steps we were required from them. They told us we had to come back on friday with the rest of the family to meet him (and we did) and that we had to bring our cat too to show them that he is neutered. So we made an appoiment for my cat with their vet clinic to show them that he was neutered on friday 10th and today the 8th they called us to tell us that they were not going to give us "Gumdrop" and their reasons were that supposedly not all of our family members went to the shelter to meet the puppy (wich is a lie, because we were all there on friday june 3ro) and that we didnt take our cat to them when they had already given us an appoiment for this friday the 10th. I understand that there are certain rules that we need to follow to adopt a dog and that there's a chance that another family might be chosen to be the dog's family but this is not how you treat people. They used and said Lies to disregard us as possible adoptants. We feel very dissapointed and sad with the whole situation. We feel like the se people like to play with people's feelings and it's not cool at all. We were really excited to have a new puppy in our lives and to be able to give a dog in need a home, but now thanks to them this is not going to happen. We just wanted everybody to know this in case anyone was thinking of adopting a new pet from this place. read more

I really wish we could have tried out other vets at MaxFund because I've heard good things, but we got stuck with the same guy over and over. And our cat's death *may* have had something to do with his inability to make a proper diagnosis. We first took our kitty Orange Girl to Maxfund to get her ears checked out - they were itchy and seemed to be bothering her. The vet came in and immediately wanted a earmite test, which we obliged to (you know how you feel like a terrible pet-parent if you don't agree to the tests). This came back negative, so was just extra $$. He asked if we "wanted to have them cleaned." Yes we did- by someone else. Nope- my husband and I got stuck holding the poor thing down while the vet tech cleaned them with a q-tip (I could have just done this at home.) This vet has NO bedside manner- very gruff and in a hurry. I understand that this is pro-bono work (and I really do fully respect that). But have a little sympathy for the patients who don't know what kind of bill or diagnosis they may be looking at. Anyways, we were less than impressed from the first visit. But when we found ourselves in a emergency situation where Orange Girl wasn't going to the bathroom and looked to be in pain, we knew Maxfund had her file/history so we took her there- against our better judgement. We explained what had been happening and all he was concerned with was her freaking ears! He sent us home with some pain meds and no useful suggestions. Once we got home, we thought maybe it could be a UTI? So we called Maxfund and asked the vet. "Oh yeah, that could be it. I'll leave some meds on the counter for you to pick up." So back we went, and administered them to OG, hoping for a resolution. Move forward to two days later, when she hasn't progressed one bit, and in fact is declining. We again went to Maxfund, as they knew her (short) history. (Fool me once...) He was fairly rough with OG, who by this time was having trouble breathing and was wheezing for air. "Ohh yikes, this is one sick cat," he proclaimed. Gee, thanks- I knew that. To top off his lovely demeanor, he repeatedly called Orange Girl a "HE." It spells out her gender right in the $%#& name, genius! The visit was quickly turning into a comedy of errors, except it wasn't funny. We had noticed a lump on her lower stomach and asked if an x-ray would help. He agreed and came back with an x-ray of her chest, not the lump area (?) "Ooo guys I don't like this at all- this does NOT look good." Well don't sugarcoat it or anything, geez. "Well guys I don't know what else to tell you- she's VERY sick. Here's a list of other vets to go to- I can't help you any further. I mean come on guys, what else can I do- a bunch of x-rays- you find out she has cancer, then what? What are you going to do then?" I don't know dude- that's why we're at the VET! You're the expert who is supposed to spell out our options. So we left in tears, and drove to Alameda East VCA (who was a 100000% improvement from Maxfund.) OG didn't survive through this ordeal, and I kept thinking if only she had been properly diagnosed (was the tumor something serious that could have been prevented or seen by x-ray? Did she have a UTI that turned into kidney failure that could have been prevented?) Plenty of "what if" scenarios played out for weeks later, but in the end the blame game really didn't do any good, because regardless we lost our furry friend. read more

I've been meaning to post this review for a while. Horrible, horrible experience here. Last spring I took my furry guy in due to some lethargy and intestinal problems. We saw an older male vet (can't remember his name!), who had absolutely no bedside manner, assumed I knew nothing about my dog's health, and was completely dismissive of my concerns. He did no bloodwork and took no samples, just prescribed a general anti-bio. I tried to press him for a more thorough exam, but he was dismissive and thought that his discomfort was totally routine. After further expressing some concerns to a nurse, she was equally as condescending and just directed me back toward the doctor. My dog had to go every 30 mins or so, and was not acting himself. I am not an overly anxious person, but was genuinely worried about him. They did not hear this, and implied that I was over reacting. After the anti-biotic did not work, we found another vet. They took one look at him and told me that he would need to stay in the hospital overnight-- he was severely dehydrated and very ill. After some diagnostic work, we found out that he had a very serious liver condition, and, very sadly, he passed away from this within a month. Shame on this place for not listening to my concerns. I deeply regret wasting my time here, especially when that time could have helped save or extend my sweet dog's life. read more

Love the Docs and Techs at Max Fund. So good with my cat. I had Dr. O'Brien today and he was great with my Lola. The techs are just as good as well. Prices are great too. Doc called me with results the same day. read more

This is a despicable organization. MaxFund essentially held our cats hostage until we paid them more money. We fostered cats for MaxFund for months and then decided to adopt our third batch of kittens. After having these two cats for a while, we called to check in and see if it was time for them to be spayed and to see if we could adopt them. (We later found out from an employee that they had lost track of the kittens we were fostering. Yikes.) They confirmed multiple times over the phone that we would be allowed to adopt them. Typically, if you foster them, you get to adopt them for free, but they asked for a $50 donation over the phone and we agreed to pay that. We dropped them off to be spayed and got a call a few hours later that we were not going to be allowed to adopt them. (When we dropped them off to be spayed, they also had no record that we had scheduled the procedure.) We had already accepted these cats into our family and hearts after hearing that we would definitely be allowed to adopt them. We even built them a climbing wall and got them name-tags. Hearing that they had changed their minds about our adoption was shocking and heartbreaking. We went over to the shelter to try to get an explanation and were told we could wait for the founder to return from lunch and then speak with her. We learned that the vet Mario (who we'd already had a nasty experience with over treatment for our sick fosters) had made the decision that we couldn't adopt the cats. An employee (apparently the founder's grandson) came to tell us to leave even though we'd been told we could wait. When we asked said grandson for a reason we were being denied the adoption after being assured multiple times, he was adamant that he didn't have to give us a reason and even laughed at us over how upset we were. (We were in tears trying to figure out how to get our girls back.) Finally, he said we were being denied because we were "unfit" to adopt the cats. As evidence, he said it wasn't right that we had re-named them (we didn't even know their original names, but who cares if someone renames their adopted pets?) and used nail caps (which are PETA-approved). One kind employee who was witnessing this exchange finally got the founder on the phone and the founder said we could keep the cats if we paid an additional $250. We paid it. We would have paid much more than that to have avoided the threat of taking our girls from us. I guess we were "fit" to volunteer as fosters for them, saving them money, but not to adopt cats that they could potentially get money for. The fact that they ended up giving us the cats for an additional $250 shows it was a power trip for them. They are disgusting. read more

Top notch service at affordable prices! Our sweet boy Max needed TPLO surgery.... we had gone to our usual vet who told us we needed to spend 3500 for the surgery ;( that was a bit more than we could afford... at the time (or, ever, who has 3500 laying around...?) ;( Max just had another surgery which we are still trying to pay off... So we did a bit of research and we found the wellness clinic- the hubs went in and met with the orthopedic surgeon, toured the facilities and found a wonderful and cheaper (much much less expensive) solution - that also benefits the wonderful services the max fund already provides! We were best impressed with the level of care and will definitely come back ! The docs and staff genuinely care about the animals and they do it for much less than other vets and all proceeds benefit a no kill organization- a genuine no kill shelter... Love love love this place!!!! read more

Do not take your dogs here. Puppies die in there care and the spayed requirement for an 8-10 week old puppy is a scary procedure with very little success. The time to get a dog spayed should be up to the owner and requiring this to be done before an adoption can take place is a absolute crime. Two dogs died on the operating table today as their hearts could not handle the severity of the procedure. When the first dog died why would a vet think it was appropriate to continue to performing on additional dogs. When does a vet take legal responsibility for their own actions. read more

I got a kitten from Maxfund about a year ago. A week after I was told by their clinic that she was healthy, she got giardia. I took her in to get a diagnosis and within a few days after that she had some sort of skin infection on her face. Seems I'm not the first to have this problem based on other reviews here. So I took her back in, and had the gull to question the vet's diagnosis of ringworm based on a cursory glance at the (barely visible) red spot. They took my cat out of the room to get fur for the culture I requested, and when they brought her back she was missing half of the fur on the top left side of her face. The vet immediately put the ringworm treatment on the newly bald spot and it literally chemically burned her. I'll let you guess what the result of the culture was. Do not go to this clinic unless you want your animal to leave in worse shape than it was when it went in. read more

Spanky's dental was a total success! They called me during the surgery to discuss the extractions and treatment options, and when I picked Spanky up at the end of the day, the cost was at the low end of the estimate they had given me. They were professional and kind the whole way through. Spanky came home still high as a kite from the anesthesia, but he was hungry right away and recovered very quickly. He's now back to normal, free of his stinkbomb breath and angry that he has to eat dry kibble again now that he's all better. read more

I think this is a great place to find your new member of the family!! The smell isn't great, but if you look beyond that, you will find volunteers who spend time with each individual animal trying to socialize it and care for it. Not one animal gets neglected here, and they provide help for injured animals. No one gets turned away or put down. I saw two volunteers go around each kennel and they spent a good amount of time with each animal!!! They treat them like they were their own. Please donate, volunteer or adopt from this wonderful organization! read more

ok...I can't believe what just happened to me. I am currently unemployed or I would have taken my 17 year old Bichon Frise to our regular vet. My Bichon was having problems with appetite loss and was getting skinny. He appeared to have a toothache--not uncommon for this breed so I scheduled him for dental work with Every Creature Counts. They suggested taking him to a local vet to update his vaccinations and get antibiotics for his tooth infection or they couldn't do the dental work as scheduled. I did some research and found Maxfund. When I took him in to Maxfund, and the vet told me that he was in terrible shape and was having seizures and needed to be treated immediately. I refused the $137 for a full blood test and settled instead on a smaller test for just kidney function as well as some antibiotics for his tooth infection and (against my better judgment) phenobarbital for his "seizures". They called the next day and said his kidney functions were terrible and that he needed to be hospitalized and given fluid treatment. The Maxfund vet recommended that I bring him in for a urinalysis for $25---no bid deal. The phenobarbital made him unable to walk or even stand. He just laid there and whined and pissed himself. I planned on giving the stuff back when I brought my dog back for the urinalysis. The problem is that we have one car and I had to wait for my wife to get home from work to use it. She raced home and then I raced to the vet's office in traffic only to arrive, and I'm not kidding, 3 minutes late. They close at 6pm but take their last appt at 5:30. I got there at 5:33 and the door was locked. I knocked and the receptionist answered and said the vet left already. I gave her the phenobarbital and said we wont be needing this anymore and then left. My plan was to go back in the next day and have the urinalysis done. Well, the next day (today) at 11am, Animal control came to my house because the vet at Maxfund reported me as neglecting my dog!!!!!!!!!!! The officer came in and met my dog, saw that he was well taken care of and wondered how the vet could report somebody who had a 16.5 year old dog. Common sense told her that 1) an abused or neglected dog doesn't live to be that age and 2) somebody who would keep the same dog that long probably cares very much for it. I'm so furious right now!! So the lesson I learned about Maxfund: Bring your dog in but if you can't make your next appointment or if you disagree with the vet about her quacky diagnosis, then they will report you for neglecting your animal. Think I'm lying? contact me at nervousmark@yahoo.com and we can discuss the details. read more

We had a great experience here. We have a very large, very timid mastiff who was abused and is terrified of people. The doctor and staff wonderful, and genuinely caring towards us and our dog. I wish I could remember the Dr's name, because she was one of the best ones we have ever met. read more

This place is either understaffed or they just don't care about customer service- or actually helping your sick pet. I took my cat there last week and described his symptoms (blood in stool) to the vet. The vet didn't want to even examine my cat because he was scared/sick and wouldn't let anyone touch him-- so if your pet potentially requires careful handling or sedation, they don't want to deal with that. The vet told me to just put him on a diet and bring him back if nothing changes (and take off more work and pay more money), when they could actually examine him, do a fecal culture, and whatever else right then and there.. because that's their job right? When I told the vet that I wanted to have him checked out that day, they just said "fine can you come back at 4pm?", which was 4hrs later-- I told them I could wait, but they wanted me to leave and come back later.. all the while they did not explain ANY of the procedures or what they would even be doing for that long. When I did come back, the front desk was way too busy for only one person to be working it, and I waited literally 30 mins to be acknowledged until I finally got up and asked to pick up my cat. Eventually I met with the vet again and he told he they did find something in my cat's fecal culture! And he didn't even say anything about how he wanted to just send me home earlier! He prescribed antibiotics and probiotics for my cat-- which, a week later, my cat can't tolerate, he pukes and gags at the smell of it. So, I go back today-- actually I called and left a message for them to call me back, but they didn't, so I ended up taking off more work to go in there and, once again, wait for almost 30mins for someone to acknowledge me. Getting frustrated I went up to the counter and the woman flat out ignored me until I started speaking to her. I overheard the tech telling the vet my issue (need new medicine or different form of it), and heard the vet tell her that I should probably just stop the medication. Then he came in and just talked AT me about how there weren't really any other options (not true), but wouldn't stop two seconds for me to ask questions, but essentially he wanted to send me home with nothing yet again! Finally, he agreed to give me a couple doses of meds in a pill form (the other was a powder), but then I overheard him afterward tell the tech that I'll probably need to come back and that they'll charge me again. Seriously?!? I went there because my pet is sick and they tried to brush me off- twice, even though they found something in his culture after I asked them to do it! So, they don't acknowledge your concerns, and then they try to send you home with nothing so that you'll have to come back and they can keep charging you! I apologize for the length of this, but I can't even believe what an ultimately awful and frustrating experience this has been. I won't be going back there unless they decide to hire quality vets that actually care, and more front desk staff to acknowledge people that have been waiting 30 minutes just to speak to someone. read more

I have taken my dog to MaxFund for a couple of years now, because it's close and fairly priced. Overall I am very satisfied with the service and cost. Mainly I have seen Dr. O'Brien, and at this point think he is the best vet there, the only one I will see. He can come off as gruff, but I think he simply has a matter-of-fact approach and hasn't a lot of patience for owners who make excuses for improper care of their animals. He is always thorough in his examination, and we never leave without him checking my dog's teeth, ears and body, regardless of the reason for the visit. Before moving forward with treatment, Dr. O'Brien gets as much history as possible, and doesn't jump to running every test possible if he thinks it won't be useful. That said, he has never had a 'wait and see' attitude; he pursues finding a solution and has been very clear when something should be done to ensure the health of the animal. He is very thorough in explaining options for testing, treatment and costs of each. Costs are explained up front, before any test is run, and his recommendations for home remedies start at low cost options. My insistence on being present for basic procedures is respected, and questions about procedures or information I'm given are answered politely and thoroughly. I have found the vet techs and front office staff friendly and generally helpful. Since it is mostly a drop in clinic, they can sometimes be overwhelmed. The waiting area has recently been revamped to improve access.. Spay and neuter is available for low cost, as are vaccinations, so there is no excuse for not having that done. Mondays seems to be the busiest (of course); the clinic is closed on Tuesdays to care for shelter animals. Because of the drop in nature, you may have to wait a while to be seen. As of 7/14 the drop in cost for a vet visit is $35, for an appointment the cost is $45 and most shots run about $20. They do require payment at the time of service, so be prepared for that. They do not accept checks. Overall, I recommend this clinic, particularly Dr. O'Brien, to anyone seeking quality animal care for a lower cost than average. read more

I really like this place a lot. Great princes too. I used to go to planned pethood but maxfund has the same prices and way nicer staff! Like way nicer! You will most likely have to wait a long time but I feel like that's the price you pay when you get good service and less than half the price you would at any other vet read more

So kind and attentive! They got my cat and I in and out quickly and gave us detailed instructions of how to tend to our issue. And the services were so cheap! It was the cheapest visit I've ever experienced! Kitty and I will be coming back!! read more

Took my 8 week old kitten in for shots and deworming. My kitten was seen by Dr. Rope. She asked me all the normal check-up questions and I brought up that the kitten had been scratching her ears a lot and might have mites. She glanced at her ears, then administered the shot and sent me my way, with no paperwork at all. I even asked before I left "so her ears are ok right?" and got a quick yes response before she ran off. Got home and the itching got worse and worse and she started to shake her head a lot. She was going crazy and meowing "help" all through the night. The only thing I could do was massage her ears to relieve the itch, so she didn't open her skin with her scratching. Poor baby was MISERABLE. I took her to another vet immediately in the morning and confirmed mite infestatation. He let me see the little monster under a microscope. DO NOT SEE DR. ROPE! She does not care about your pet. There is no excuse to have not caught this. She could have very easily made the same quick diagnosis the vet I saw this morning did and prescribed her medicated ear drops. She is careless and should not be in this profession. She sent this 8 week old kitten home to suffer! I dont know how that woman can sleep at night. I hope no pet has to face the same suffering due to her negligence. STAY AWAY FROM DR. ROPE read more

They are a complete rip off. Took a 7 yr old female in to get spayed, the charged us $150 for one shot, which we waited over an hour for, wouldn't give her a rabies shot until she was spayed. Then, they tell me that it will be another $175 for the spay. They completely lied over the phone, I clearly would not have payed $300 for a spay and drove to this location from Longmont had they told me what they thought they were going to charge me. I STILL have not gotten a refund (which they would only give me 1.after she was spayed and 2. within 30 days of my office visit). I will never ever return or recommend this place and plan to file a complaint with the AAVSB. read more

Took my dog Luther into the shelter last week because I was unable to continue providing proper care for his needs any longer. I supplied comprehensive documentation for his ailments one of which will eventually require hip replacement. This was info from 2 different outside vets He is now up for adoption with a very soft bio alluding to minor ailments and low cost meds but no mention of the displasia/ arthritis/surgery. HIS bio has been spun so hard that one would think he were a candidate for political office and not a poor good dog that needs serious help to live a long happy life. read more
