What recent reviews say

Long-term clients praise Denver Cat Hospital for its cat-focused atmosphere, knowledgeable vets, and staff who genuinely care. Nervous cats feel safe here; families report feeling heard and informed throughout procedures like dental work and surgery.

One recent critical review flags private equity ownership bringing pressure to upsell costly tests and exams, slow response from one veterinarian, and a significant lapse in bereavement care. Most reviewers encounter attentive, kind staff; experience varies by which doctor and how the clinic responds to problems.

Praised for
  • cat-focused practice
  • knowledgeable and compassionate staff
  • gentle with anxious cats
  • thorough communication and follow-up
  • fast scheduling and minimal wait times
Watch-outs
  • slow communication from one veterinarian
  • expensive exams and labs
  • pushy upselling of tests
  • pharmacy errors and forced use of in-house service
  • poor bereavement response

Best for: Owners of nervous or senior cats seeking specialized, attentive care in a calm, cat-only environment.
Think twice if: One veterinarian (Dr. Maybank) has been slow to respond to questions; exams are reported at $95 and senior bloodwork panels exceed $500. Private equity ownership has reportedly prompted higher upselling.

Strengths

  • dedicated cat-only practice with no dogs in waiting area
  • experienced with anxious and senior cats
  • in-house dental surgery and ultrasound
  • Dr. Rognrud noted for responsiveness and compassion

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Rognrud responds same-day to questions; Dr. Maybank has 3-day average response delays
  • Andrea and Destiny noted by name as especially compassionate staff
  • One reviewer called their own vet reference before visit and confirmed pricing was reasonable
  • Recent bereavement card sent 4 days after public complaint
  • No dogs in waiting room (cat-only facility)
  • Online portal includes chat feature for follow-up questions
  • Website lists first exam discount: $25 OFF for new clients

Long-standing patients and new clients consistently praise the team's genuine care and professionalism. Doctors like Cole, Lipkin, Trainor, and Gao listen carefully, explain treatment clearly, and follow up personally. Staff greet animals gently and create a calming atmosphere. Two serious billing and care issues stand out: one client was double-charged for annual exams at a vaccine visit with an unclear refund policy, and another felt misdiagnosed over a month of symptoms that required emergency hospitalization. The latter reviewer also reported delayed responses and staff reluctance to counsel without a paid visit. These are rare but consequential complaints in an otherwise strong profile.

Reviewers consistently praise the house-call model for dramatically reducing stress in anxious or senior pets. Dr. Rahim, Dr. Goulet, and their staff excel at gentle handling, clear communication, and genuine compassion across routine care and end-of-life support. One recent client experienced a procedural sequence (vaccines before lab work) that delayed diagnostics and incurred an unexpected second travel fee; the follow-up conversation became defensive rather than collaborative. For most families with stressed or older animals, the in-home approach is transformative.
