What recent reviews say

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.

Recent shift: Recent high-star reviews (past month) praise diagnostic skill and patient care. One negative review from four days ago raises serious concerns about record-keeping (duplicate vaccines) and lack of management accountability, which contrasts sharply with the overall 91% five-star rating but signals an operational gap that merits attention.

Common questions

Can I get an urgent appointment quickly?
Yes. One reviewer was seen a few hours after calling; another got a next-day slot. Staff aim for same-day or next-day availability for urgent issues.
Is there a new-customer discount?
The website lists $50 off first appointments for new members. Ask about it when you book.
How much will my visit cost?
Always confirm the full estimated cost before services begin. Phone quotes have not matched in-person charges for some customers. Ask to speak with a manager if you see a discrepancy.

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.

Reviewers consistently experience calm, attentive care from named doctors (Leka, Iguchi, Jovanovic) who explain procedures step-by-step and respect pet owners' wishes on treatment. Surgeries span amputation, tumor removal, and dental extraction. Staff send follow-up texts personally, offer free consultations and telemedicine, and adjust pricing for financial strain, distinguishing this practice from clinics reviewers felt rushed or overpriced at. What stands out across posts: owners describe calling late at night and reaching doctors directly, waiting under two days for urgent appointments, and recovering pets with minimal complications. A 17-year-old dog's colopexy cost $2800 here versus $6K–$8K quoted elsewhere. One reviewer noted Dr. Iguchi caught lung spots another clinic missed one week prior, changing long-term care plans.
