What recent reviews say

Most reviewers experience exceptional personal care, especially from certain vets like Dr. Barone and Dr. Mott, who take time with anxious pets and explain options clearly. Recurring friction points are phone estimate errors that result in surprise charges at visit, delayed responses to patient questions, and variability in how individual staff handle routine appointments.

Their website lists acupuncture, in-house lab, ultrasound, and online pharmacy alongside general care and surgery. They are AAHA accredited and have operated since 2003. The main risk: front desk pricing may not match what the examining vet charges, so confirm fees in writing before the appointment.

  • skilled vets

  • long-term relationship building
Watch-outs

Most visits yield attentive, unhurried care with staff who remember animals by name and show genuine affection. Vets explain options plainly, offer price breakdowns upfront, and stay late or reschedule to help anxious pets. A serious anesthesia incident during spay surgery and one account of aggressive upselling cast shadows; reviewers in those cases felt abandoned afterward rather than supported through complications. The clinic operates seven days and spans eight service lines. Named clinicians (Dr. Adaska, Dr. Kelly, Dr. Allison) earn repeated praise for thoroughness. One reviewer with a cat facing emergency obstruction surgery was comforted for hours and guided to affordable care; another needed USDA travel paperwork and received after-hours texts and expert guidance.

Staff at this Central Denver location build strong rapport with pets and owners alike, taking time to explain procedures and address concerns without rushing. Reviewers consistently praise named vets like Dr. Lexie, Dr. Liv, and Dr. Z for catching missed diagnoses and handling nervous animals with patience. Pricing surprises and a documented case of unnecessary duplicate vaccination mark the main friction points; a few customers felt misled on phone quotes or questioned whether exams prioritized sales over wellness checks. The business handles general care, urgent eye issues, and post-operative comfort well. Their commitment to accessible options-offering resources for cheaper care, working within budgets, and applying first-visit discounts-appeals to cost-conscious owners. One long-term customer switched practices over vaccination oversight, citing the lack of on-site management as a systemic concern.

Staff earn consistent praise for calm care with nervous pets and same-day emergency slots. Vets explain treatment options without pressure and follow up by phone. One cat owner felt her explicit instructions about nail care were ignored; another reviewer experienced a three-minute exam after a long wait and thought the heartworm test charge was steep. Most pets arrive anxious and leave calm. Dental care, vaccinations, and wellness checks form the bulk of visits. Dr. Devin is named for thorough health summaries. Techs including Lizz are called out for kindness. Fair pricing is mentioned in one review; a few flag costs as high relative to the broader market. Same-day access for sick or injured animals stands out.
