The technician and veterinarian were very transparent. They were very good about emergencies with my dog! He ate something he wasn't supposed to and they were able to fit him in the morning! They take care of all their patients that come through their doors! So far I have met 3 of their veterinarians and all of them have been very chill and incredibly knowledgeable. They are incredibly willing to clarify anything you have questions on via phone, online, or in person! They also give you in-depth instructions on paper as well! The other thing I really liked is that they give information on the issue that your pet has. For example my dog had giardia coming out of the shelter, and they taught me the things I needed to know about the parasite and what to look out for! They even gave me a journal that had researched it so I can continue to treat it if the parasite comes back!(Which it can unfortunately). They are also very good about send you your invoice so you can submit it to your pet insurance! All in all, they are awesome and I highly recommend them if you are on Evans or near DU!

Took my dog here a couple of times for a rash on his ear. Was prescribed a medication that barely helped. On the follow up visit the doctor, who was different than the one who prescribed it, said he’d never heard of the medication before and doesn’t know how it works. But suggested I buy another round and increase the dosage. I passed. At that same follow up visit, was time for his semi annual exam and vaccines. Was charged $88 for the exam, and all the doctor did was listen to his heart and breathing for maybe 30 secs. No oral exam, check of the ears, etc. I’ll be going to a different vet next time.

Very professional and welcoming staff from reception to vet and everyone in between. I felt well informed about the current health problem my cat is experiencing and also made aware of ways to best bolster his health in the future. Everyone made it very clear how time-critical different shots/procedures were and I felt well equipped to decide what to do right away, what to postpone, and what didn't fit given my cat's indoor-only life.

Front desk and the tech was awesome! I want to start this out with the positive. Front desk answered any of my questions, and was happy to help. My issue lay with one of the Doctors, who seemed pretty judgmental and right off the bat like he did not want to serve me or my partner despite the urgency of the situation. Throughout the appointment, we kept getting... ''But you'll want to go to a vet you trust.'' (Which is strange in itself, are you not trustworthy?) Despite us insisting the importance of a dental as soon as possible, (which he also agreed needed to be done ASAP) and the price point of our prior vet that we could simply not afford. To be honest, he did not seem empathetic at all, like he did not want to work with us, and he disregarded anything we said. Including the fact I am a prior ER veterinary technician of 5+ years. I was there to get my dog affordable care through their reasonable monthly plans. I would not recommend this location and have switched providers within the company as I signed up for a plan because it was the best option to get my dog the care she needed. I dont know if it was because im a person of color, because i'm a woman, or because i have a partner that he felt the need to passively turn us away. Either way, it was a bad experience and he clearly did not want our business.
