What recent reviews say

Most visits run smoothly with staff who explain treatment at each step and stay attentive during emergencies, sometimes getting patients seen right away. The team excels at handling difficult situations like end-of-life care, pet anxiety, and behavioral challenges, though one recent visit involved extended waits (2+ hours) and concerns about whether a procedure was completed as promised.

Named doctors include Bueck, Park, Mancino, Mendola, and Benavitz; a nurse named Ben and tech named Geoff were also praised. The clinic operates as an open-concept ER, handles urgent cases from early morning, and provides amenities like phone chargers and coffee. One patient noted costs as reasonable for an ER; another paid $1,147 for diagnostics leading to euthanasia recommendations.

Praised for
  • responsive emergency care
  • compassionate staff
  • clear communication
  • skilled veterinarians

Do they serve emergencies early in the morning?

What happens if I can't afford treatment?
Staff have provided referrals to lower-cost facilities and helped transport pets when cost was a barrier.

Goldsmith Veterinary Clinic

Goldsmith earns consistent praise for staff who spend time calming fearful animals and answer questions thoroughly. Most reviewers highlight Dr. Baxter, Dr. Norberg, and named staff like Lauren, Lyndsey, and Virginia as particularly attentive. One serious complaint alleges the vet downplayed a senior dog's heart failure prognosis, failed to offer overnight admission, and caused preventable suffering, though the clinic did refund medication costs.

Exotic Pet Vets (Denver)

Exotic Pet Vets (Denver)

4.8(521)✓ Verified

Reviewers consistently experience knowledgeable, caring treatment for exotic pets. Staff and veterinarians like Dr. Ruoff, Dr. Guerrera, Dr. Lykins, and Dr. Fitzgerald combine deep expertise with genuine affection for small animals, handling emergencies and routine care with equal dedication. Surgical outcomes impress, particularly with complex cases like cysts in small mammals. Transparency, follow-up (including after-hours texts), and offered financing through Cherry make care accessible. Two negative reviews flagged medication refusal and post-exam communication gaps, though these appear isolated against 94% five-star ratings.
