What recent reviews say

Staff schedules urgent exams with short notice and guides owners through treatment at every step, from intake to post-surgery calls. Specialists diagnose and treat complex eye conditions-ulcers, entropion, cataracts, tumors-that regular vets cannot handle; weak or unclear cases may disappoint owners who expect definitive answers.

Praised for
  • compassionate staff
  • clear communication
  • skilled specialists
  • gentle with anxious animals
  • attentive follow-up care
Watch-outs
  • disappointing outcomes in urgent situations
  • high costs relative to results
  • unmet diagnostic expectations
compassionate-staffskilled-vetsknowledgeable-vetsclear-communicationgentle-with-animalsgood-with-anxious-petscaring-bedside-mannerfollow-up-care
Best for: Pets with complex eye conditions or injuries that primary vets refer elsewhere.
Think twice if: Some urgent cases may not have clear-cut diagnoses; expect costs beyond typical vet visits.

Strengths

  • Board-certified eye specialists
  • Advanced surgical and diagnostic equipment
  • Same-day or next-day urgent scheduling
  • Clear post-operative care and follow-up

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Julien provides home care handouts after visits
  • Staff call to check on dogs post-surgery (e.g. after eye removal)
  • Tech staff train owners on eye drop administration
  • Dr. Smith managed high blood pressure discovered during cataract surgery follow-up
  • Staff nickname regular patients (e.g. 'Howling Havanese')
  • Entropion eyelid surgery reported as affordable by at least one owner
  • Cherry eye surgery completed same-day with quick recovery

Ninety-seven percent of reviewers rate this practice five stars, citing compassionate care for anxious animals, same-day emergency access, and transparent pricing that avoids unnecessary upsells. Staff including Dr. Daughtry and front desk members earn consistent praise for warmth and knowledge; two recent one-star reviews describe a conflict where the owner raised his voice and canceled an appointment after the client raised concerns about their dog's stress, with conflicting accounts of who escalated first. The practice serves general care, surgery, and exotic animals from a solo-vet model in Hampden South. Several reviewers name staff members positively (Forest, Mary, Dr. Justin, Dr. Dawsey), and one notes a military discount. A few clients specifically mention avoiding unnecessary bloodwork or treatments while keeping costs reasonable, and one emergency visit was cited at $99.

Most visits feel unhurried and caring. Dr. Caldwell is frequently named for her calm approach with anxious pets, and reviewers praise staff who explain procedures and answer questions thoroughly. Non-anesthetic dental cleanings and housecalls draw specific appreciation. Three negative reviews flag front-desk rudeness during emergencies, aggressive product sales, and expired medications without refunds, suggesting inconsistency in who answers the phone and how complaints are handled. Recent five-star reviews (within 2 months) show consistent warmth, but older one-star reviews hint at persistent friction over billing practices and service recovery. The business excels at clinical care but has stumbled in customer relations.

Most owners report exceptional, personal care from Dr. Converse, Dr. Jaynes, and their team, who earn trust through patience, transparency, and genuine attention to each animal's needs. The practice excels at diagnostics, surgical recovery support, and calm handling of anxious or reactive pets, though a small number cite inconsistent phone communication and receptionist responsiveness during busy periods. Strengths include in-house diagnostics, ultrasound capability, surgical expertise, and the ability to address complex or challenging cases. The business serves the wider south Denver metro area, with advanced services listed on their website. Two recent reviews flag frustration with emergency availability claims and appointment scheduling inconsistency, but these are exceptions in a predominantly enthusiastic patient base.
