What recent reviews say

Most visits deliver expert eye care with staff who take time to explain conditions and build trust with anxious pets. Surgical outcomes for cataracts, entropion, and tumor removal are consistently praised. Two reviewers felt their urgent cases were mishandled or overpriced relative to outcome, and one questioned whether a specialist consultation was worth the $242 fee when the diagnosis proved inaccessible without surgery.

Common questions

Can I get a same-day or next-day urgent appointment?
Yes. Reviewers report being squeezed in at the last minute for urgent exams and getting appointments the next day for ongoing conditions.
Will they teach me how to care for my pet at home?
Yes. Staff send home detailed written care instructions, teach owners how to apply eye drops, and provide clear explanations of diagnoses and treatment plans.

State Of The Heart Veterinary Care

4.9(170)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most reviewers describe same-day or near-same-day appointments with patient, gentle care that works especially well for anxious animals. Staff proactively explains costs, avoids pressure, and follows up by email; prices run $50-99 for standard visits and $420+ for dentistry. Two recent one-star reviews describe a conflict with owner Justin over appointment handling and claim staff escalated rather than resolved. A solo practice led by Dr. Daughtry (also called Dr. Justin), known for solving complex cases other vets missed. Named staff members Mary, Jess, Holland, and Forest consistently praised for warmth and competence. Reviewers specifically appreciate that this clinic prioritizes the animal's comfort over speed and that the owner knows most regulars personally.

Owners consistently report calm, attentive care from Dr. Caldwell and her team, especially for anxious pets. Reviewers praise non-anesthetic dental cleanings, clear explanations, and a family-like atmosphere. A handful of complaints center on phone rudeness, expired medication stock, and pushy billing practices, though these are isolated against a strong majority experience. MoVet serves Southmoor Park with in-clinic visits, house calls, and telehealth triage. Their house-call block parties start at a $20 minimum per household. The clinic handles preventative care, chronic illness, bloodwork, imaging, ultrasound, and cryotherapy alongside general wellness.

Most people experience a practice where veterinarians spend unhurried time on diagnosis, explain findings clearly, and earn trust through calm, attentive care. Advanced Veterinary Care handles complex cases, reactive dogs, and surgical recovery with visible investment in each animal and owner, though a small number report difficulty reaching staff by phone and conflicting appointment guidance during urgent situations. The practice lists wellness, surgery, dental, laser therapy, canine rehab, and diagnostics including ultrasound and in-house labs. Dr. Converse and Dr. Jaynes are named repeatedly for thoughtfulness. One reviewer praised competitive pricing; another called fees "affordable." Serve Greenwood Village, Denver, Centennial, Englewood, and surrounding areas.
