What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently experience skilled diagnosis backed by in-house labs, ultrasounds, and X-rays that deliver answers in minutes rather than days. Staff build calm environments for anxious pets and form lasting relationships, with multiple clients returning over a decade.

The clinic shines with senior animals and complex cases, especially under Dr. Sarhangpour and Dr. Foltz. Two complaints center on delayed or conservative treatment calls (recommending weeks of antibiotics before surgery, missing a cancerous cyst) and billing confusion (estimates climbing unexpectedly, receptionist promising free exams that were not). Cost is higher than peers, but most who stay find the investment justified by outcomes and in-house capabilities.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable and thorough diagnostics
  • compassionate and calm bedside manner
  • in-house diagnostics save time and money
  • long-term patient relationships
  • skilled senior animal care
Watch-outs
  • delayed diagnosis and conservative treatment decisions
  • confusing pricing and billing surprises
  • receptionist communication missteps

Common questions

Can the clinic do blood work and ultrasound in-house?
Yes. Reviews confirm in-house blood work, ultrasound, and digital X-ray; results arrive in minutes rather than days.
Do they have experience with senior pets?
Yes. Dr. Sarhangpour is a member of the International Veterinary Senior Care Society and multiple reviews highlight multi-year management of elderly cats and dogs with chronic conditions.
What should I expect regarding pricing and estimates?
Cost is higher than some peers, but multiple long-term clients say outcomes justify the cost. One recent review reported billing confusion (an estimate for a hematoma jumped from $2,100 to $2,900 after a dental procedure was removed); clarify scope of work upfront.

Indian Tree earns strong marks for patient care, gentle handling, and staff warmth across most visits. Two separate reviews flag concerns about costly dental recommendations that second opinions later disputed, and prepayment policies create friction even after advertised discounts.

Guardian Angel offers low-cost spay/neuter and emergency surgery in South Westminster with strong staff compassion and quick after-hours response.

All Brick Veterinary Clinic LLC

4.0(870)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

All Brick attracts loyal long-term clients who praise its boarding care and some vets' compassion, particularly during euthanasia. However, front desk friction, missed services, and prices that belie its low-cost positioning undermine confidence. Multiple reviewers report failed procedures, spotty callback communication, and turned-away appointments despite advance booking. The clinic lists surgery, dental, vaccines, and emergency services. Staff frustration and turnover are cited by long-time customers. One reviewer drove from Loveland for a cancelled appointment; another paid for grooming never performed and was asked to pay for a redo. A handful of five-star reviews mention Rob and the daycare crew, but newer or one-off visitors describe feeling dismissed at the desk.
