What recent reviews say

Patients drive across Denver to keep returning because the team treats animals with genuine care and listens before acting. Dr. Graziano, Dr. Olson, and Dr. Bob meet pets where they are, explain diagnoses thoroughly, and excel at difficult moments like euthanasia and dental surgery. One reviewer felt pressured into expensive diagnostics and unnecessary behavioral consults, but the pattern across 470 reviews shows staff who prioritize both the animal and the owner's peace of mind.

Holistic Care For Animals

4.9(32)

Dr. Jan Facinelli runs a holistic veterinary practice in Wheat Ridge that focuses on alternative therapies. Reviewers consistently praise her deep knowledge of homeopathy, acupuncture, and orthopedic manipulation, plus her gentle handling of nervous or senior pets. One recent complaint cited a $450 phone consultation charge and insensitive language when discussing a pet's death, but this stands isolated against 31 five-star or four-star reviews.

Second Chances Veterinary Care

4.6(411)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most appointments go smoothly. Reviewers consistently praise the team's warmth and the affordable pricing, especially for dental work and surgery. Many note that costs were lower than other vets, which made necessary care possible. The clinic handled euthanasia with particular gentleness. However, some recent patients hit surprise charges at checkout or felt the vet dismissed their diagnostic requests. A few noted meeting only technicians, not the veterinarian, on initial visits. Staff also failed to disclose full costs when called ahead to ask. These gaps in transparency and communication are the friction points.

Western Animal Clinic

4.7(513)✓ Verified

Long-term clients consistently choose Western Animal for Dr. Shiarella's honest approach, absence of upselling, and low emergency fees. Walk-in care, skilled surgical work, and staff warmth define the experience, though extended waits and outdoor waiting in heat are trade-offs for getting in same-day.
