What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently report feeling heard and unhurried from arrival to checkout. Vets like Dr. Spring, Dr. Court, Dr. Moreman, and Dr. Porta spend time understanding each animal's history, write questions on a whiteboard so nothing is missed, and treat pets like family rather than appointments. Staff answer questions without judgment or pushiness, offer multiple options, and excel with fearful or elderly dogs needing complex care like mass removal or end-of-life support.

The Cherry Creek location is clean and designed for pet comfort, with separate cat and dog spaces, treat menus in exam rooms, and a special quiet room for sensitive animals. Prices run higher than some clinics, but reviewers who drive across Denver to return say the attention and expertise justify the cost. No complaints emerged in recent reviews.

Can they see anxious or fearful dogs?
Yes. Reviewers praise their patience with fearful rescue dogs, nervous animals, and those with pain-related aggression. They use separate pet spaces and a quiet room with soft furnishings.

Western Veterinary Partners

Western Veterinary Partners runs a multi-location veterinary group that draws strong praise from business partners and employees for leadership, organization, and genuine care for animals. Patient-facing experience is starkly divided: some highlight excellent surgical care and supportive staff, while others report dropped communications, cancelled appointments, high staff churn, and concern over how the company manages feedback.

Reviewers consistently praise the clinic's calm, caring approach to nervous or reactive animals, with staff and vets spending time to build trust. Dr. Emma Gober, Dr. Ashley Curnett, Dr. Flanigan, and techs Maggie and Meghan are named for attentiveness and skill, particularly with senior pets and anxious dogs. The facility is clean and appointments come quickly; their app and virtual urgent care are noted as convenient. An "All Access membership" is mentioned as valuable. One recent complaint flags unclear pricing, where diagnosis details were withheld to increase out-of-pocket costs, though the wider pattern of praise suggests this may be an outlier.
