What recent reviews say

Staff consistently help anxious and nervous pets feel safe, and reviewers appreciate transparent pricing without pressure to buy unnecessary services. The practice excels at scheduling same-day visits and following up by email, but two complaints describe confrontational interactions with the owner and staff mishandling of a high-anxiety dog.

Dr. Daughtry and Dr. Justin earn specific praise for solving chronic issues and patience. Vets name staff members Mary, Jess, Holland, and Forest. The business lists military discounts and dental starting at $420.

Recent shift: Two strongly critical reviews from three months ago describe confrontational interactions with owner Justin and rough staff handling of an anxious dog, contrasting sharply with overwhelmingly positive recent reviews (past two months). The owner's response is disputed in both complaints.</shifts> </invoke>

Eye Specialists for Animals

4.7(308)✓ Verified

Board-certified eye specialists deliver complex ophthalmic care across Colorado. Reviewers consistently praise the team's calm demeanor with nervous animals, thorough explanations, and willingness to squeeze in urgent cases. Staff follow up post-surgery and provide detailed home care instructions. Two complaints center on diagnostic limitations (melanoma detection requires enucleation) and one problematic antibiotic course; otherwise the experience is praised as efficient, compassionate, and worth the specialist premium.

Most visits here feel genuinely personal: vets take time to understand each pet, anxious animals calm noticeably, and staff explain procedures without rushing. The low-cost dental cleaning draws praise. A handful of one-star reviews cite front-desk coldness in emergency situations, expired pharmacy stock, and a tech's inappropriate financial judgment of a client, though these are outliers against 18 five-star accounts.

Advanced Veterinary Care of Greenwood Village

4.9(191)✓ Verified

Advanced Veterinary Care earns trust across routine care, emergency surgery, and long-term management. Reviewers consistently highlight Dr. Converse and Dr. Jaynes for patience with reactive animals, thorough diagnostics, and calm bedside manner. The practice moves quickly to arrange same-day ultrasounds and explains findings transparently without rushing. Staff remember pets by name and treat them as family. Two serious complaints emerged about phone responsiveness and inconsistent messaging from reception staff during urgent situations. One reviewer's dog with cancer felt neglected and received no follow-up after the pet's death. Despite these holes in communication, the majority value fair pricing alongside advanced care and report feeling fully informed and supported through complicated treatments.
