North Denver Animal Clinic

4.7(93)✓ Verified

Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Lori and Dr. Scott's expertise and kindness over years of loyalty. Pets relax during exams, and staff treat owners and animals like family. The trade-off is a long wait: new patient slots fill months out, and the clinic cannot absorb walk-in emergencies. For small animals, expect calm, thorough care from a solo practitioner with a full schedule. Large animal owners benefit from Dr. Scott's direct equine experience. Families and seniors with established pets thrive here; those needing prompt appointments or emergency admission elsewhere.

One reviewer called the vet caring; another reported rude staff with no compassion for animals. Limited review evidence makes experience hard to predict.

4.1(330)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Loyal customers praise the clinic's affordability and Dr. Sebunya's attentiveness, with some reporting 15+ years of care. However, recent reviews reveal serious gaps: delayed test result communication that allowed a cat's kidney failure to go undiagnosed, unclear consent for costly second anesthesia rounds, and staff accessibility issues. The 4.1 rating masks a stark split between five-star veterans and one-star recent patients citing miscommunication and changed service quality.
