What recent reviews say

Staff and vets earn consistent praise for patience with nervous animals and for taking time to listen. Multiple reviewers highlight how the team works within budgets, explains costs upfront, and treats pets with visible affection. Dr. Adaska, Dr. Kelly, and techs Lexi, Isa, and Cheyenne appear by name across positive reviews. The clinic uses fear-free design (warm lighting, lower stress) and stayed open late on a weekend to help a dog needing emergency bandage care.

Two serious one-star reviews detail surgery complications (kitten's cardiac event during spay with improper anesthesia drugs) and a pregnant dog treated aggressively for cash before being directed to low-cost care. The anesthesia case drew criticism from a second vet for dangerous protocol and poor follow-up. These stand apart from the strong pattern of compassionate, budget-conscious care elsewhere in the review set.

Praised for
  • compassionate emergency response
  • staff gentleness with anxious pets
  • transparent pricing and budget work
  • attention to detail and thoroughness
  • caring follow-up and emotional support
Watch-outs
  • anesthesia complication and poor medication protocol
  • insensitive financial pressure in complex cases
  • inadequate follow-up after adverse events
compassionate-staffskilled-vetsgentle-with-animalsclear-communicationclean-facilityfriendly-front-deskthorough-examsaffordable-pricingcaring-follow-up
Best for: Pet owners with anxious animals and those seeking transparent, affordable general care and wellness exams.
Think twice if: Spay/neuter surgery patients should verify anesthesia protocols and ensure post-operative monitoring; two reviews cite serious surgical complications and delayed follow-up.

  • Staff trained in anxious-pet handling

Worth knowing

  • Named vets: Dr. Adaska, Dr. Kelly, Dr. Allison

  • Fear-free clinic design with warm-toned exam rooms and reduced fluorescent lighting
  • Staff stayed late on Saturday for emergency bandage change
  • Complications documented: kitten cardiac event during spay (improper anesthesia mix, intubation while awake); pregnant dog given IV fluids and $60 medication before referral to low-cost clinic

Common questions

Do they offer same-day emergency appointments?

Will they discuss costs before providing treatment?
Yes. Multiple reviewers mention receiving a price breakdown before services and staff working with their budget.
Is the clinic designed to reduce pet anxiety?
Yes. They use fear-free design with warm-toned paint, reduced fluorescent lighting, and staff trained to calm anxious pets. One reviewer noted her rescue dog's anxiety noticeably reduced here compared to other clinics.

Most visits end with relief and gratitude. Vets like Dr. Lexie, Dr. Z, Dr. Liv, and others spend time listening, explaining each step, and catching problems other clinics missed. Staff remember pets by name and adjust the exam room to calm nervous animals. A handful report serious friction: surprise bills after being quoted differently on the phone, a cat given two rabies vaccines in back-to-back years with no explanation, and difficulty reaching management to resolve complaints. The business claims it discounts new clients $50 on first visits and serves Union Station, LoDo, LoHi, and surrounding Denver areas. Prices come up often enough to trust reviewers care about them, but the clinic's openness varies wildly between appointments. When staff engage on cost upfront, people praise them. When they do not, frustration runs deep.

Urban Vet Care

Dr. Barone and most of the clinical team earn strong loyalty for genuine care and skilled handling of anxious or complex cases. However, pricing surprises, gaps between front-desk estimates and vet fees, and uneven staff consistency-some techs don't know their scope-undermine confidence for first-time or cost-conscious owners. Their website lists acupuncture, laser therapy, in-house lab, and surgery alongside preventative care, supported by AAHA accreditation and 20 years in practice. The best experiences come from established patients and those seeing the senior veterinarians; newer arrivals report rushed visits and pressure to add services.
