What recent reviews say

Staff at GoodVets LoHi earn consistent praise for patience with anxious pets, transparent pricing, and willingness to stay late or spend hours helping owners navigate emergencies. Dr. Adaska, Dr. Kelly, and techs like Lexi, Isa, and Cheyenne are named across reviews for attentive, calm bedside manner; the clinic's fear-free design with soft lighting and warm tones reflects that care. One critical 1-star review describes a catastrophic spay-surgery outcome (heart stopped, severe reaction to anesthesia) where a second vet deemed the drug protocol reckless; another flags overbilling followed by deflection to low-cost alternatives. Most reviewers highlight affordability and flexibility, but surgery safety and billing consistency warrant scrutiny before booking high-risk procedures.

Praised for
  • compassionate staff, goes extra for scared animals
  • clear pricing before services
  • emergency same-day availability
  • skilled vets (Dr. Adaska, Dr. Kelly named)
  • fear-free clinic design and demeanor
  • thorough exams and follow-up care
Watch-outs
  • risky anesthesia protocol in spay/neuter (near-fatal outcome)
  • unclear pricing or overbilling before deflecting to low-cost clinics
  • poor communication after complications (text instead of call for critical issue)
compassionate-staffgentle-with-animalsknowledgeable-vetsclear-communicationclean-facilityemergency-availabilityfollow-up-carefair-pricingtransparent-billing
Best for: Owners with anxious pets, families needing clear pricing and flexibility, those seeking after-hours emergency help.
Think twice if: Prospective surgery patients should clarify anesthesia protocols; one review flagged dangerous drug dosing in a spay that caused cardiac arrest. Budget-conscious owners should confirm final costs upfront.

Strengths

  • same-day emergency access for existing patients
  • fear-free clinic environment with soft lighting
  • clear cost breakdown before treatment
  • staff stay late for urgent bandage changes and non-routine needs

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Adaska and Dr. Kelly named for skill and demeanor
  • Techs Lexi, Isa, and Cheyenne noted for patience
  • Fear-free environment with low lighting and warm paint in exam rooms
  • Staff offer dried beef liver treats in exams
  • Stayed after closing for emergency splint change
  • USDA travel certification services offered
  • Follow-up texts and calls same-day or next morning for complex cases

Sploot Veterinary Care - Commons Park

4.7(550)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Sploot Commons Park earns consistent praise for clinicians who spend time listening, explaining procedures step-by-step, and catching problems other vets missed. Staff remember individual pets and adapt to nervous animals. Pricing transparency is the weak spot. Reviewers report being quoted one price over the phone but charged significantly more on arrival, and at least one customer was given an unnecessary rabies booster without checking records. A few clients praise the team's willingness to discuss cost options and offer resources for affordability; others felt the visit focused on upselling rather than wellness.

Urban Vet Care

4.7(856)✓ Verified

Urban Vet Care consistently earns trust for Dr. Barone's steady clinical judgment and the team's gentleness with nervous pets. They offer on-site surgery, dentistry, acupuncture, and lab work with genuine warmth. However, phone quotes often differ from final bills, some appointments feel rushed, and follow-up communication can lag, leaving a few patients frustrated by what feels like misaligned pricing or attention. Several reviewers praise the exam-room wait experience over lobbies and note Dr. Barone sits with anxious pets to calm them. The practice has been operating since 2003 and is AAHA-accredited. Cost estimates and staff consistency appear to be the rougher edges in an otherwise well-regarded clinic.
