What recent reviews say

Dr. Kathleen Brown and her team deliver consistent, thoughtful care grounded in honest diagnosis and pet welfare over unnecessary procedures. Long-term clients praise reasonable pricing, staff warmth, and her willingness to explain treatment and try alternative approaches; two isolated complaints center on receptionist tone and a contested euthanasia consultation.

Praised for
  • Dr. Brown's clinical judgment and honest advice
  • compassionate and caring staff
  • affordable pricing
  • thorough communication and education with owners
Watch-outs
  • receptionist rudeness when declining non-patient walk-ins
  • one dispute over end-of-life advice and resulting poor outcome

Best for: Pet owners seeking honest, affordable care without unnecessary upsells; long-term patient relationships.
Think twice if: Receptionist communication can be brusque, especially toward non-established patients; seek clarity before major treatment decisions, particularly end-of-life care.

Strengths

  • long-track record (nearly 80 years)
  • willingness to explore alternative care approaches
  • affordable rates compared to peer clinics

Worth knowing

One owner compared two surgeries at different clinics and found outcomes notably better here. Another praised them for recommending against unnecessary surgery.

South Platte Veterinary Hospital

Staff and vets earn trust through calm expertise and genuine care. They spend time with nervous animals, explain treatment paths clearly, and avoid pushing unnecessary procedures. Notable for second-opinion care that often leads to less invasive outcomes, and for following up after appointments. Pricing is transparent and described as reasonable; the team treats cancer diagnoses and end-of-life moments with emotional support that keeps people coming back.
