What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews dominate at 5280, where staff and Dr. Leach earn repeated praise for attentiveness, kindness, and clear communication through routine care and complex surgeries alike. One owner reported a missed cancer diagnosis and received a dismissive response, a stark counterpoint to the otherwise consistent pattern of thorough exams and genuine concern.

Praised for
  • compassionate and patient staff
  • knowledgeable vets (especially Dr. Leach)
  • clear communication and explanation
  • clean, calm facility
  • handles complex cases well
Watch-outs
  • missed cancer diagnosis
  • defensive response to complaint
  • misdiagnosis of dental issue
compassionate-staffgentle-with-animalsknowledgeable-vetsclean-facilityfriendly-front-deskthorough-examsclear-communicationfollow-up-care
Best for: Owners seeking long-term, detail-oriented care for dogs and cats, including seniors and nervous animals.
Think twice if: A missed cancer diagnosis and defensive handling of the complaint suggest owners of animals with unusual symptoms should seek a second opinion if initial exams feel incomplete.

Strengths

  • Dr. Leach highly trusted for years-long care
  • handles complex cases (tumors, surgeries, behavioral issues)
  • clean environment and calm handling
  • locally owned and operated

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Leach is a named, long-tenured veterinarian praised across multiple reviews
  • Handles dental extractions, tumor removals, and senior care
  • Answers questions thoroughly without rushing
  • Clean facility noted multiple times
  • Able to fit in urgent cases (example: shih tzu with groin injury)
  • Locally owned and operated (owned by women, per review)

Sploot Veterinary Care - RiNo

Sploot Veterinary Care - RiNo

4.8(833)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Sploot consistently delivers attentive care; staff earn high marks for patience with nervous pets and vets for listening to owner concerns. Surgical aftercare and emergency access stand out, and first appointments get discounted for new members via their SplootPack membership. However, aggressive no-show fees ($85-89 on brief appointments), surprise emergency visit markups, and confusing billing practices have alienated cost-conscious owners. Multiple reviewers report being charged double or triple typical vet prices without clear advance notice, and the clinic's explanations for appointment purpose shifted after disputes. Reliability hinges heavily on your tolerance for strict cancellation policies and premium pricing.

Five Points Animal Hospital

Five Points Animal Hospital

5.0(65)✓ Verified

Five Points earns consistent trust through vets who listen closely and make anxious pets calm. Dr. Dooley and Dr. Nelson build loyalty fast with honest estimates, clear follow-up care, and surgical skill that gets dogs back to hiking and long walks. Staff take time to explain diagnostics and options without pushing unnecessary treatment. The hospital runs clean and gets urgent cases in same-day. Pricing sits well below other Denver practices. One reviewer noted some techs seemed impatient with energetic dogs, but this is isolated.
