What recent reviews say

Staff treat nervous animals with genuine patience, and board-certified ophthalmologists deliver detailed diagnoses on first visits. Many reviewers noted post-surgery check-in calls, staff who teach owners how to administer drops, and a calm office atmosphere. The practice excels at surgical repairs like entropion correction and cataract removal, though a few encountered cases where the condition (like suspected melanoma) could not be definitively diagnosed without invasive intervention, or where prescribed antibiotics did not resolve the issue as expected.

Eye Specialists is a referral practice for complex cases, not a general vet. Costs run higher than routine care, yet several reviewers felt the expertise justified the price. Accessibility is strong: next-day appointments reported for anxious pets, and staff accommodate late arrivals. The clinic serves dogs, cats, and at least equine patients across Colorado.

Praised for
  • specialized expertise and diagnostics
  • compassionate and patient staff
  • thorough exam and clear communication
  • smooth scheduling and billing
  • post-operative follow-up care
Watch-outs
  • unclear treatment limits for specific conditions
  • expensive relative to general vet
  • ineffective treatment in some cases

Best for: Pets with complex eye conditions; owners of anxious animals needing specialist referral.

Will the vet teach me how to give eye drops?
Yes. Staff teach owners how to administer eye drops during visits.
Are fees higher than a general vet?

State Of The Heart Veterinary Care

4.9(170)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most visitors find a thoughtful practice that listens to questions, offers same-day care, and refuses to pressure add-ons. Staff earn praise for warmth and pets for calm handling; named staff like Dr. Daughtry earn loyalty for solving stubborn cases others missed. Two complaints speak to a sharp contrast: one client reported being cut off mid-conversation and asked to leave when raising concerns about promised accommodations, with the owner's tone described as confrontational rather than collaborative. The tension between most reviews and these outliers raises a question about how the practice handles conflict.

MoVET earns consistent five-star praise for their calm, patient handling of anxious animals and Dr. Caldwell's unhurried approach. They accept new clients within 24 hours and text-friendly follow-up questions. A small cluster of one-star reviews flags dismissive phone interactions, expired heartbreak pills sold without refund, and a tech's harsh comments about customer finances during a puppy visit. Worth calling ahead to confirm availability, especially for euthanasia or end-of-life care.

Advanced Veterinary Care of Greenwood Village

Most clients experience a veterinary team deeply invested in their animals, with Dr. Converse and Dr. Jaynes earning trust through thorough diagnosis, honest treatment options, and genuine affection for each pet. Staff know animals by name and provide calm, unhurried care during complex cases and routine visits alike. A handful of recent reviews flag gaps in phone follow-up and receptionist inconsistency during urgent calls, though the majority consistently praise surgical expertise, advanced diagnostics (ultrasound, in-house lab), and how well the team handles anxious or reactive pets.
