What recent reviews say

Belleview earns strong loyalty from long-term clients who praise Dr. Mike's gentle handling, holistic approach, and personal attention-pets recognize the difference. Yet billing inconsistency, poor staff communication, and follow-up failures frustrate others, especially when estimates balloon or insurance disappoints. The clinic shines for exotic reptiles and routine care but falters when complications demand coordination.

Visit best for basic care and exotic pets where staff expertise is clear. Clarify all fees upfront and ask for written aftercare instructions, as phone estimates have diverged significantly from final bills.

Common questions

How quickly can I get an exotic pet appointment?
Faster than many competing reptile vets, per reviews. Call their Englewood location for specific availability.
Does Belleview offer payment plans or insurance?
They offer wellness plans praised as valuable. Dental insurance is available but reviewers report it does not always cover expected costs; request a full cost breakdown before enrolling.
Will I get post-surgery aftercare instructions?
Written instructions should be provided with your estimate, but some patients report receiving them late or inaccurately. Ask for written aftercare details before leaving.

Most visits result in quick, caring treatment with staff who take time to explain what's happening. Dr. May, Dr. Hoppe, technician Lela, and others get consistent praise for patience with anxious animals and owners. Some reviewers mention follow-up calls and condolence cards after euthanasia. A small number experienced price shock (x-rays, medications quoted higher than upfront estimates, or significantly higher than expected), lack of written discharge papers, or feeling vets missed the real problem. Online check-in works smoothly, and evening hours help people working day shifts. Fear Free certification and experience with serious cases (pyometra, cancer, trauma) earn trust. Pricing remains a friction point: one reviewer paid $415 for a single-paw x-ray and felt steered toward unnecessary add-ons; another was charged $70 for a week of medication and $40 for five cans of prescribed food. A few reviews also note the waiting area is cramped and cold. The majority still rank the care and attention as worth the cost, especially for evening/weekend access.

Staff consistently treat nervous, large, and reactive dogs with patience and warmth, getting them comfortable quickly. Appointment slots open within days; reviewers praise fair pricing and doctors who listen and explain options rather than push surgery. Dr. Jerry and Dr. Waznik are named for tailored care, and one recent complaint alleges refusal to examine an animal warrants caution. The hospital operates across Englewood, Denver, and surrounding areas. Their website claims over 65 years in practice and services ranging from routine checkups to surgery and home visits. Five-star patterns are strong across routine and emergency visits alike, though the one low rating should be investigated before committing.
