What recent reviews say

Patients consistently experience attentive, unhurried care with vets and techs who remember individual animals and tailor exams to their needs. Staff make follow-up calls, meet nervous pets outside the clinic, and provide emotional support through illness and end-of-life decisions; one patient calls them a trusted partner since 2007.

Dentistry, surgery, and wellness visits all draw praise for thoroughness and absence of pressure to upsell. Pricing is described as reasonable and fair value. The practice has built multigenerational loyalty, with families returning for decades and vets staying involved in clients' lives beyond the appointment.

Western Veterinary Partners

3.9(32)✓ Verified

Five-star reviews from business partners praise Western Veterinary Partners' organization and investment in animal welfare. Darker picture emerges in customer complaints: after acquiring clinics, the company cut back on pet health communication, cancelled appointments repeatedly across multiple locations, and staff turnover made consistent care difficult. One recent one-star review alleges review suppression, while a patient praising Dr. Etheridge at Wellshire Animal Hospital shows promise when operations run smoothly.

Modern Animal Cherry Creek

4.8(96)✓ Verified

Modern Animal Cherry Creek earns consistent five-star reviews for staff who genuinely calm anxious pets and prioritize owner comfort. Reviewers name Dr. Curnett, Dr. Gober, Dr. Flanigan, and techs Angie, Maggie, and Meghan as attentive and knowledgeable, with one owner driving an hour round trip to return. Their 24/7 virtual care, mobile app, and All Access membership appeal to busy owners. First-exam credit ($50 off $85), off-street parking, and spotless facilities are repeatedly praised. Even rescue dogs and fearful pets relax here; one owner notes her previously nervous dog now gets excited at the door.
