What recent reviews say

Denver Animal Hospital earns consistent praise for treating pets and owners as family. Staff from the front desk through veterinarians take time to listen, explain procedures, and adapt appointments for anxious animals, with follow-up calls and emotional support that reviewers describe as exceptional.

Their roster includes specialists in cardiology, internal medicine, and surgical care (TPLO, laser therapy), and they offer end-of-life hospice at home. Long-term clients credit Dr. Casey, Dr. Miles, Dr. Tadros, and Dr. Ackley with managing chronic illness, anxiety, and helping with difficult goodbyes. Reviewers find their approach unhurried and values-driven.

Modern Animal Cherry Creek

4.8(96)✓ Verified

Dr. Gober, Dr. Flanigan, Dr. Curnett and their team excel at making scared dogs and cats feel at home, remembering that many pets arrive shaking or nervous. The clinic moves fast getting you in, listens closely to your concerns, explains what they're doing, and keeps you posted after visits. Staff including Angie, Maggie, Meghan, and others greet you warmly; the space is spotless and peaceful; and several reviewers said they'd happily drive an hour or more to stay with Modern Animal. Their website touts 24/7 virtual consultations, an app for your pet's records, an all-access membership option, and services spanning routine care, surgery, dental, and urgent needs. Most reviewers felt genuinely cared for rather than rushed through, and a few mentioned transparent pricing on the first exam ($85 normally, $50 off first visit).
