What recent reviews say

Owners consistently report exceptional care during emergencies and specialty referrals, with named veterinarians like Dr. Creevey, Dr. Martin, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Vernon earning praise for going above standard practice. Staff provide round-the-clock support, send photo updates, answer calls between visits, and handle difficult end-of-life moments with dignity. Two owners flagged cost surprises: an eye exam that jumped from $116 to $290 without notice, and a misdiagnosis that led to emergency surgery five days later.

Praised for
  • compassionate, attentive veterinarians who go beyond standard care
  • staff warmth and emotional support during difficult decisions
  • clear communication and thorough explanations
  • emergency responsiveness and capability
Watch-outs
  • unexpected price increases without prior notice
  • diagnostic accuracy concerns leading to delayed treatment

  • named veterinarians who personally follow up (calls, texts, photos)

  • Dr. Jessie Seifert stayed late Friday to accommodate owner travel time
  • Dr. Lee (cardiology) diagnosed labored breathing when primary vet could not
  • Specific staff named: Megan, Eric, Karrigan, Sarah (techs and front desk)

VRCC Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital

4.2(1517)✓ Verified

VRCC's emergency doctors and some techs earn consistent praise for quick assessment, specialist expertise, and genuine care during crises. The 24/7 operation serves the Denver Metro well, but recent cases reveal gaps: unclear messaging about overnight surgical readiness, staff rudeness in critical moments, and aggressive surgical recommendations followed by silent treatment when families decline. Prices run high, and medications cost multiples of retail. Best suited to owners seeking after-hours emergency diagnostics and stabilization, less so for ongoing communication or surgical transparency.
