What recent reviews say

Long-time customers praise affordability and Dr. Sebunya's attentiveness, but recent reviews show serious gaps: missed diagnoses with no follow-up, staff turnover with rudeness reported, unclear procedure consent, and a critical case where the clinic turned away an emergency. Loyalty to this hospital is eroding.

Recent shift: Staff quality and communication standards have declined noticeably in recent years. Older reviews (2+ years) consistently praise the practice; recent reviews (within 12 months) report rudeness, missed diagnoses, poor follow-up, and emergency refusals. This shift coincides with reports of staff turnover and new technicians being described as problematic.

Praised for
  • long-term loyalty and affordability
  • caring and attentive doctors, especially Dr. Sebunya
  • friendly, helpful staff and technicians
  • handles cats and dogs well
Watch-outs
  • poor communication and follow-up after tests
  • sudden staff quality decline and rudeness
  • miscommunication about procedures and anesthesia risks
  • turned away during emergency, dog died after
  • long waits even when clinic is empty
  • insufficient physical exam and inadequate handling
compassionate-stafflong-wait-timespoor-communicationfair-pricinghard-to-scheduleemergency-availability
Best for: established pet owners seeking affordable routine care, best served by continuity with familiar staff like Dr. Sebunya
Think twice if: considering emergency or urgent visits, or if communication and follow-up matter most after diagnostic tests

Strengths

  • established practice serving Denver since 1975
  • offers BOAS laser surgery and TPLO orthopedic surgery
  • first office visit 50% off, dental cleaning 10% off for new and returning patients

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Sebunya named as attentive and skilled by multiple long-term customers
  • Joyce named as reliable staff member
  • turnover mentioned with new vet techs described as nasty
  • one customer reported being turned away during what Google lists as an emergency availability case
  • dental cleaning procedure noted as potentially unclear about anesthesia re-dosing after skin-tag removal

All Brick has two faces: patients report deeply compassionate euthanasia care and solid boarding, but frequent scheduling mishaps, front desk rudeness, and prices that outpace peers frustrate long-time owners. Recent complaints about unfinished grooming and unfulfilled services suggest operational strain.

Staff spend time earning trust with nervous pets, especially dogs and cats with anxiety or reactivity. Dr. Z and Dr. Nikki build treatment plans with pet parents, use fear-free methods, and charge significantly less than chain clinics for the same services. Reviewers with 10-16 year histories call it unmatched for genuine care and knowledgeable diagnosis.

Most owners appreciate Guardian Angel's low prices and genuinely caring staff, especially for surgeries and spay/neuter work. However, some report confusing or unexpected charges after service, slow responses to text messages, and inconsistent communication about what they are consenting to during visits.
