What recent reviews say

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.

Most clients praise the team's genuine care, quick diagnostics, and willingness to follow up after appointments. However, billing practices frustrate some: unexpected urgent-care surcharges, repeated fluid charges without explanation, and other add-ons feel designed to maximize cost rather than address the pet's need. One deeply distressed review alleges the euthanasia process caused unnecessary pain and was dismissed when improvement was requested.
