What recent reviews say

Guardian Angel wins consistent praise for affordable spays, neuters, and emergency surgery, with patients spotlighting kind staff and fast scheduling. Communication feels uneven: some get detailed pre- and post-care updates, while others report days-long text delays and surprise final bills that contradict the low-cost promise.

Praised for
  • affordable pricing
  • emergency surgery availability and aftercare
  • friendly and empathetic staff
  • quick appointment scheduling
  • clear communication and follow-up
Watch-outs
  • slow text message response times
  • unclear pricing disclosure at time of service
  • staff inconsistency (front desk vs. back)
  • treatments performed without explicit patient consent

Best for: Pet owners seeking affordable surgery and spay/neuter with a caring approach.
Think twice if: Ask about total cost upfront; response times for text appointments can be slow, and some experience surprise billing despite low advertised prices.

Strengths

  • affordable spay/neuter and surgery prices
  • after-hours emergency response and follow-up
  • friendly, empathetic staff approach

Worth knowing

  • Miguel noted as staff member who makes customers feel welcome
  • Text-based appointment system managed off-site (Alyssa); reported multi-day response delays
  • Emergency surgeries with next-day check-in calls mentioned in recent reviews
  • Some patients report vaccines administered without explicit consent to longer-duration options

Reviewers praise Dr. Julia's compassion during euthanasia and boarding staff like Rob for reliable, friendly care. However, mounting complaints about front desk hostility, failed follow-ups (bloodwork, callback logs), canceled appointments with minimal notice, climbing fees, and staff shortages paint a picture of a once-trusted clinic in operational decline. Long-time customers report a shift from caring to impersonal over recent years.

Long-time patients credit Hermosa with life-saving surgeries at prices competitors cannot match, and staff who hold their hands through euthanasia. The clinic bills itself as affordable and keeps a steady base of loyal customers. Yet the experience splits sharply: some walk out feeling heard and cared for, others endure 30 to 60-minute waits they say happen every visit, staff who seem overloaded and curt, and billing confusion that left families paying twice. Surgery and emergency cases anchor the praise, especially when finances matter. Reviewers name Dr. Laurie and Juan as standouts. The clinic claims to serve all Denver metro neighborhoods and lists orthopedic surgery, dental care, and diagnostics among its services (since the 1990s). But patience wears thin for routine appointments: one owner with five chows walked away after being told their time was not valuable; another gave up on allergy shots after missing three scheduled slots because the vet never arrived.

Long-standing customers praise The Vets Animal Hospital for affordable care and Dr. Sebunya's attentiveness, but recent reviews reveal serious cracks: missed critical diagnoses, poor communication of test results, inconsistent staff training, and reluctance to answer phones or accept walk-ins. Some families report the clinic turned them away during emergencies despite being listed as urgent care.
