What recent reviews say

Owners return for years, citing staff who answer phones professionally and vets-notably Dr. Brett, Dr. Duane, and Dr. Amy-who listen and explain findings clearly. The clinic earned loyalty across decades, with customers willing to drive 45 minutes rather than switch. Routine checkups run smoothly; X-rays and diagnostics happen the same day.

Red Rocks Animal Center

Red Rocks Animal Center

4.1(1086)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Red Rocks earns strong praise for affordability, gentle care, and staff warmth on routine visits. Many owners trust them for long-term management of senior and chronic conditions. However, serious complaints emerge around communication gaps during emergencies, delayed medication orders, and incomplete diagnostics that led some owners to seek care elsewhere. The clinic's strength in accessible, caring basic care is undercut by lapses in follow-up and diagnostic thoroughness. The $25 first exam fee is a genuine draw, and staff are consistently described as kind and engaged. Yet owners report unreturned calls when dogs were in distress, diagnostic interpretations that contradicted specialist findings, and quote changes that caught owners off guard. A pending clinic "revamp" is mentioned in one recent review.

Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

4.6(788)✓ Verified

Most visits go smoothly, with staff and vets earning praise for skill and kindness. Recent renovation has disrupted scheduling badly, and the hospital struggled with emergency response when a client's elderly dog had an acute reaction to vaccines. Dr. Arcuri and Dr. Andrew both appear often in reviews, though opinions split. Five-star reviewers note thorough exams, follow-up calls, and help with travel health documents. Critics report miscommunication about what to bring, dismissive tone from at least one vet, and a two-day wait when urgent care was needed.

Sploot Veterinary Care - Belmar

4.8(457)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Sploot delivers calm, patient care with staff who take time to explain options without pressure. Reviewers consistently describe feeling informed and genuinely cared for, especially with senior and nervous pets. Pricing is generally praised as fair, though a handful flag surprise gaps between phone estimates and in-person quotes for complex procedures like extractions. The clinic serves a wide area around Lakewood and Denver with weekend and extended hours. Named staff like Dr. Sylvia Berns, Dr. Parker, and Kortnee earn repeated praise for skill and kindness. Surgical and dental work, emergency same-day appointments, and wellness visits all feature positively in recent reviews.
