What recent reviews say

GoodVets South Denver earns consistent praise for compassionate handling of nervous animals and staff who take time to explain care options without pressure. Most complaints centre on pricing transparency: one customer paid $400 for an unexpected blood test without consent, another found the $68 care plan offered only 5% discounts, and procedure time estimates sometimes shifted dramatically.

Praised for
  • compassionate, patient staff
  • friendly front desk and welcoming atmosphere
  • skilled vets who explain clearly
  • willing to work with anxious pets
  • follow-up care and attention to detail
Watch-outs
  • unclear pricing and procedure costs upfront

  • consent and communication gaps around tests
compassionate-staffskilled-vetsgentle-with-animalsclear-communicationfriendly-front-deskthorough-examscaring-follow-upsurprise-fees
Best for: Pet owners with anxious or fearful animals who value patient, gentle handling.
Think twice if: Ask for itemized cost estimates and procedure time breakdowns before scheduling, especially for surgical procedures or add-on tests.

Strengths

  • Dr. Morgan named repeatedly for compassionate care
  • staff adjust handling to calm anxious pets
  • post-visit follow-up calls standard practice
  • honest about avoiding unnecessary upsells

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Morgan cited by name in multiple reviews for compassionate care
  • staff perform vitals and exams with owner present when pets are anxious
  • they call the next morning to check on post-procedure pets
  • care plan ($68) offers only 5% discount, does not cover routine issues
  • unexpected blood test charged at $400 without prior consent or cost discussion

What reviews say by service

General Veterinary Care
Calm, thorough exams; staff explain options clearly without upselling.
Veterinary Surgery
Procedure costs and timelines need upfront clarification; one customer reported four-hour estimate after experiencing a 20-minute procedure elsewhere.
Emergency & Urgent Care
Open Saturdays for urgent cases; responsive same-day availability praised.
Veterinary Dentistry
Limited direct mention; nail trimming during exams noted as thorough.
Exotic & Avian Vet
Directory listing present; no specific review evidence.
Low-Cost / Affordable Vet Care
Care plan lacks real savings; routine items not covered. Price comparable to other clinics per one review but surprise fees occur.

Common questions

Are you open on weekends for emergencies?
Yes. Reviews confirm Saturday availability for urgent cases like lacerations.
What does the care plan cover?
The $68 plan offers 5% discounts and covers vaccinations, but routine issues are out-of-pocket. It is not comprehensive coverage.
Will staff handle my anxious pet differently?
Yes. Reviewers report staff allow owners to stay in the exam room and adjust handling to keep fearful pets calm.

Owners with anxious or fearful dogs consistently report transformations in their pets' behavior. Appointments run 30 to 60 minutes, with staff spending time on the floor building trust before procedures. The practice uses living room setups, soft music, and free "happy visits" to desensitize pets to equipment and handling. Dr. German and staff Max, Larissa, and others are named repeatedly for expertise in integrative medicine, dental work, and gentle anesthesia protocols. Pricing is described as reasonable and upfront, and the clinic handles specialty services like USDA health certificates for travel.
