What recent reviews say

Belleview earns strong praise for Dr. Mike's direct involvement in care, fair pricing on surgery, and a holistic approach that appeals to long-term clients. However, several recent experiences reveal gaps in staff coordination, inconsistent estimates, and billing surprises that frustrate established customers. Communication breakdowns and blunt responses to cost questions undermine trust despite the owner's personal reputation.

Recent shift: Recent reviews (1-2 months ago) show a shift toward more complaints about billing practices and communication, whereas older reviews (6+ months) emphasize Dr. Mike's personal care and fair pricing. Billing surprises and staff miscommunications appear more frequent in the past six months.

Praised for
  • Dr. Mike personally engaged and compassionate
  • Good with anxious and stressed pets
  • Fair pricing on surgeries and specialty care
  • Holistic and balanced approach to treatment
  • Knowledgeable staff who explain options
Watch-outs
  • Poor communication and lack of follow-up
  • Miscommunications between staff about care details
  • Surprise billing and estimate discrepancies
  • Dismissive when customers questioned charges
  • No show fees and inflexible billing practices
compassionate-staffgentle-with-animalsknowledgeable-vetsfollow-up-callspoor-communicationtransparent-pricingcaring-bedside-manner
Best for: Owners of reptiles, chinchillas, and birds seeking specialty care with shorter wait times.
Think twice if: Bring written estimate confirmations; communication gaps and surprise billing have frustrated long-term clients despite Dr. Mike's reputation.

Strengths

  • Dr. Mike's hands-on care and follow-up calls
  • Balanced holistic and traditional treatment options
  • Reptile care availability with short wait times
  • Fair surgical pricing when estimates are clear

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Mike makes personal follow-up calls after surgery
  • Initial visit charges rose from $95 to $190 between customer contacts
  • Surgical estimate of $450 increased to over $600 after procedure without clear explanation of added biopsy charges
  • Wellness plans mentioned but specifics not detailed in reviews
  • No show fees have been charged and later removed only on customer escalation
  • Staff inconsistencies reported across three separate employees on the same procedure

UrgentVet

4.6(288)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most visitors describe prompt, caring urgent care that gets them in and out quickly with clear explanations. Staff follow up with phone calls, and vets handle difficult or anxious pets with patience. Several note prices as "reasonable" or "way cheaper" than emergency vet rates, though one-star reviews dispute this and cite pricing confusion and hidden costs. Staff names mentioned (Dr. May, Dr. Hoppe, Jessica, Sharla, Lela) show consistent personalization in positive accounts.

Cherrelyn Animal Hospital

4.4(513)✓ Verified

Cherrelyn earns strong loyalty for its warm, patient staff and vets who listen. Long-time clients praise quick appointment access, calm handling of anxious or large dogs, and willingness to explore conservative treatment before surgery. One complaint about refusal to examine an animal stands against dozens of glowing visits. Dr. Jerry and Dr. Waznik are named for ACL injury advice and reactive dog care respectively. The clinic covers wellness, surgery, urgent care, home visits, and boarding across Centennial through Denver. Fair pricing and minimal wait times keep families coming back for years.
