What recent reviews say

Most reviewers praise fast, attentive urgent care from staff who treat anxious pets gently and explain treatment clearly. Dr. Hoppe and Dr. May earned consistent compliments, along with follow-up calls and sympathy cards after difficult visits. A minority of recent visits reported steep charges for imaging and meds (one $415 X-ray bill), minimal exam steps, and poor discharge paperwork, raising questions about value-for-money consistency.

Operating seven days with evening hours makes same-day access reliable. Englewood location serves greater Denver. Fear Free certified. Prices claimed "up to 40% less than ER," but individual bills suggest variation in what constitutes "urgent" pricing versus full diagnostic workup costs.

  • quick appointments and check-in

Common questions

Can I book same-day care?
Yes. Reviewers report being seen within 30 minutes of arrival. Online check-in and phone reservations available. Open 7 days a week.
How much less is urgent care than the ER?
Their website claims up to 40% less than emergency vet pricing. However, recent reviews show individual charges like $415 for a single-paw X-ray, so final cost depends on services needed.
Do they offer evening appointments?
Yes. Multiple reviewers noted they stay open later in the day, allowing people to get help after work hours.

Belleview divides sharply on execution. Fans praise Dr. Mike's hands-on approach, exotic animal skills, and genuine care; long-term clients report their pets look forward to visits. But multiple recent reviews flag significant problems: quoted prices jump substantially at appointment time, staff give conflicting information, follow-up is sparse, and billing practices feel predatory (no-show fees, inflated estimates, insurance denials). Those issues have left several clients feeling misled and let down during costly procedures.

Most visits yield strong praise for friendly, patient staff and vets who explain care thoroughly. Reviewers highlight quick appointments, fair pricing, and a calm environment even for anxious or large dogs. However, a surgical case revealed serious gaps in post-operative planning: inadequate discharge instructions, refusal of overnight monitoring despite major surgery complexity, and lack of accountability when complications arose. The clinic's strength lies in routine and emergency response, where staff excel at reassurance and efficiency. Yet major surgery planning needs rethinking, particularly around aftercare protocols and managing surgical risks upfront with clients.
