Can I get a same-day or quick appointment?

Yes. One reviewer got an appointment within a couple of hours of a pet injury, and the clinic proactively calls patients to offer earlier slots when complex cases need more time.

Are they good with anxious or rescue dogs?

Multiple reviewers describe calm, kind handling of anxious and rescue pets. Staff take time to make nervous animals comfortable and discuss fear-based issues like thunder anxiety.

Do they follow up after visits?

What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently describe a team that goes beyond standard care: vets who slow down to listen, staff who remember returning patients, and genuine attention during difficult moments. Dr. Mills appears frequently in praise for patience with anxious pets and clear explanations. The clinic sends follow-up cards after euthanasia and calls to offer earlier appointments when pets need more time. One recent interaction with a visiting doctor (Dr. M. Perez) soured an otherwise loyal customer's experience, though most encounters, including with Dr. Erin and Dr. Margolis, leave owners feeling their pets are genuinely valued rather than processed.

The Central Park location draws people from across Denver, and even two-year regulars report pets pulling toward the building. Pricing does not come up as a complaint. The facility is clean and well-organized, with appointments easily booked. Owners of anxious, rescue, and senior animals specifically praise the calm approach and willingness to spend time discussing treatment options rather than jumping to expensive tests.

Some clients report caring vets and solid wellness programs, but many encounter unpredictable service. Recent months show recurring complaints about sedation being pushed for routine exams on anxious (not aggressive) animals, dismissive staff dismissing owner concerns, long appointment waits, and charges appearing after verbal promises otherwise. Dr. Ramos and Dr. Rodriguez (for oncology) earned praise for attentive care. The Glendale location drew traffic from nearby visitors. Wellness plans appear affordable but reviews suggest limited scope and exclusions that surprise customers later.

Front-desk experience and animal handling earn genuine praise from loyal clients, yet persistent complaints about expense, delayed diagnostics, and billing transparency paint a troubling picture. Recent reviews document record-keeping failures, staff shortages affecting continuity, and questionable upselling practices that cost families hundreds monthly over years.
