What recent reviews say
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.

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.

Livewell Animal Hospital of RiNo
4.9(168)✓ Verified
Livewell RiNo earns trust through vets and techs who visibly love animals, move patients through quickly, and explain every step. Dr. Kramer and Dr. Hoppe stand out for calling post-surgery to reassure owners and listening to endless questions without rushing. One owner was steered away from early eyelid surgery and faced permanent corneal scarring; a few callers report cold receptionists, mostly named issues. Pricing is fair, and surgical recovery updates feel personal. The clinic serves diverse pets from dogs to exotic birds, handles urgent care, and manages complex cases like reactive dogs needing double TPLO surgery. Strengths are bedside manner, same-day scheduling, and genuine attentiveness. The front desk can feel unwelcoming on first contact, and judgment calls on whether to intervene early sometimes disappoint. Most reviewers view this as their home vet now.
