What recent reviews say
GoodVets RiNo earns strong marks for a team that calms nervous animals and listens closely to owner concerns. Staff follow up by phone within days, work flexibly on bills, and refer to partner locations when needed. Recent visitors note climbing fees (appointments now near $100) and occasional pressure to run tests owners already suspect unnecessary; parking is tight.
Recent shift: One long-time customer noted a quality decline after 12 months: plan coverage reduced, vet turnover increased, appointment costs rose sharply, and minor details (bad creamer in waiting room) suggest less attentive oversight. Otherwise, recent reviews remain enthusiastically positive.

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.

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.
