What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently describe a clinic where vets and staff treat pets as family members, never rush appointments, and take time to explain options. Dr. Spring, Dr. Court, Dr. Porta, Dr. Katz, and Dr. Moreman earn named praise for compassion, especially during difficult moments like euthanasia and pain management.

The facility itself stands out: separate cat and dog spaces, treat menus in exam rooms, whiteboards tracking every concern, and handwritten thank-you cards. Several reviewers note the cost is higher than other clinics but worth it for the attention and care received.

Western Veterinary Partners wins consistent praise from colleagues and partners for leadership quality, workplace culture, and professional organization. However, a sharp divide emerges between internal staff satisfaction and pet owner experience: reviews highlight spiraling communication failures and record-keeping gaps following clinic acquisitions, repeated appointment cancellations at partner locations, and transparency concerns around review removal.

Modern Animal Cherry Creek

Modern Animal's team earns consistent praise for turning fear-reactive and anxious pets into eager visitors. Staff build real relationships, take time to explain care clearly, and respond quickly to appointments. Reviewers drive hours to return, value the app and virtual care access, and report feeling supported through serious health decisions for aging rescue animals. Named vets Dr. Gober, Dr. Flanigan, and Dr. Curnett stand out for empathy with nervous pets and thorough exams. The clean space, offstreet parking, and all-access membership appeal to long-term pet owners. First-visit discount of $50 off the standard $85 exam price makes entry accessible.
