What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently encounter a vet practice built around Fear-Free principles, where anxious and reactive dogs transform from dreading visits to actively seeking them. Staff spend time letting pets warm up at their own pace and offer free "happy visits" to build trust before procedures.

The clinic's physical spaces mimic living rooms (couches, soft music, toys) rather than sterile treatment tables. Dr. German and her team spend full hours on exams, discuss holistic options alongside conventional care, handle specialized cases like wobblers and severe anxiety, and clearly explain costs upfront. Weekend appointments and sedation protocols that minimize post-procedure complications are frequently praised.

Praised for
  • gentle, patient handling of anxious pets
  • Fear-Free certified approach and happy visits
  • Dr. German's expertise and thorough care
  • warm, home-like facility design
  • transparent pricing and follow-up education

Most visits reflect genuine care: staff accommodate anxious pets in-room, vets explain conditions without condescension, and follow-up calls show attentiveness. A few reviewers hit cost friction-one care plan charged $68 for only 5% discounts, another faced a $400 blood test without clear consent and pricing. Communication gaps on procedure time and medication cost create frustration for a small subset.

Wellshire earns trust through long-term relationships and attentive diagnosis. Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Monica, Dr. Molly, and Dr. Watterud for catching problems previous vets missed and explaining care plans clearly. The entire team treats nervous and aggressive animals with calm, gentle handling that reduces stress during visits. Front-desk staff like Maria and Rachel go beyond routine appointments, breaking down vaccine costs for tight budgets and preparing new owners with transparent information. Multiple reviewers note reasonable pricing, clean facilities, and a family-like atmosphere that keeps them returning for decades or choosing Wellshire as their new home clinic.

Most reviewers praise the vets and staff as genuinely caring and attentive, with Drs. Cheng, Liu, Hart, and others taking time to answer questions and follow up after visits. Several note the clinic is more affordable than other Denver options and has achieved strong outcomes on complex cases like FIC and cancer, with long-term clients reporting multiple successful surgeries with no complications. However, a handful of serious concerns surface: two reviewers describe diagnostic misses (one involved a false cancer diagnosis later corrected, another involved a missed large lung tumor; another reported a missed ACL tear), and another details a distressing blood draw where staff attempted four times while the cat was audibly distressed, leaving the animal with chemical burns from excessive alcohol. Some also cite routine vaccination pricing as steep. The clinic's transition from "All About Paws" to WellHaven is mentioned positively by most who experienced it, though a few negative reviews predate the rebranding.
