What recent reviews say

Nine years of consistent, stress-free care sets the tone here: staff remember your cat's anxiety, they don't rush procedures, and they explain every step. Reviewers note Dr. Rognrud's personal follow-up and Andrea's genuine warmth, though one long-time customer reported inconsistent care after private equity involvement and felt abandoned when their cat died.

Dental work, mass removal, and senior blood panels happen regularly. Pricing was stable for years, but recent reviews flag basic exams around $95 and pressure toward expensive lab work. The cat-only approach and calm facility stand out, though responsiveness from Dr. Maybank varies and same-day lab results are not guaranteed.

Evans East Animal Hospital

4.6(1086)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Long-term clients and newcomers describe experienced vets who listen carefully and take time with nervous or ill animals. The practice excels at dental surgery, emergency care, and same-day scheduling. Multiple reviewers credit named staff-Dr. Cole, Dr. Gao, Dr. Trainor, Dr. Kuball-with compassion and follow-up. However, billing disputes recur: customers report being charged twice for annual exams within weeks and facing partial refunds when errors occur. One critical case involved phone staff dismissing serious bloody stools as normal, leading to a three-day emergency hospitalization; follow-up care was minimal.

The Mobile Pawlyclinic

5.0(270)✓ Verified

Dr. Rahim, Dr. Goulet, and their team deliver veterinary care that puts nervous animals at ease. Reviewers consistently praise the calm, patient approach during exams, vaccinations, dental work, and end-of-life visits. The home visit model eliminates transport stress for senior and anxious pets. One reviewer found the at-home procedure experience emotionally overwhelming and encountered billing friction after vaccine administration delayed lab work. That said, 99% of reviews celebrate the staff's genuine care, flexibility, and ability to coordinate with local specialists. The clinic operates across Denver and has earned trust for wellness plans and follow-up communication.
