Red Rocks Animal Center

4.1(1086)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Many pet owners trust Red Rocks for routine care and everyday surgery, praising affordable prices, gentle handling, and attentive staff. A subset of customers report they excel with chronic disease management and geriatric pets. However, recurring complaints center on communication failures during medical emergencies, delayed pharmacy deliveries, unexplained price jumps, and missed diagnoses on serious conditions that required specialist follow-up. Multiple reviewers felt unheard when contacting the clinic by phone. The business claims first exams at $25 and lists orthopedic and surgical expertise. Their largest patient base appears satisfied with routine visits and preventive care. The persistent friction points are responsiveness, transparency on costs, and thoroughness when animals show signs of serious illness. Reviewers with uncomplicated cases or long-standing relationships report confidence; those navigating medical crises or unexpected fees have walked away frustrated.

Vetco Total Care

Vetco Total Care

4.2(361)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most visits feel unhurried and kind. Multiple reviewers name April, Sexton, Dr. Landry, and Martha as staff who explain options clearly and handle anxious dogs with patience. One frustrated reviewer struggled to access records online and reach the clinic by phone, citing the call center routing as a barrier. The clinic handles routine care, dental work, and complex cases like anxiety management and post-surgical recovery. Prices are described as fair. The main friction point is that you may see a different vet each visit, which one regular accepted as a trade-off for good care overall.

Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

Lakewood Veterinary Hospital

4.6(788)✓ Verified

Long-term clients and first-timers praise the hospital's attentive staff and thorough care, especially for nervous or young animals. Vets like Dr. Arcuri and Dr. Andrew are noted for professional exams, and follow-up calls after discharge are routine. The practice has earned trust through consistency across 55 years. Recent renovation disruptions have strained that reputation. Three appointment cancellations, a final confirmation that turned out to be wrong, and a failure to accommodate a potential vaccine reaction within 48 hours have left some clients frustrated. Communication missteps (conflicting stool sample guidance, no rescheduling offers after errors) suggest gaps in coordination during transition, not malice, but they cost goodwill.
