What recent reviews say

Dr. Lori and Dr. Scott have built a devoted following over decades through hands-on care and deep knowledge. Their small practice divides labor (Dr. Scott with large animals and horses, Dr. Lori with dogs and cats), which creates loyalty among established clients but leaves new patients facing months-long waits. The trade-off is worth it for those who get in: anxious pets relax, emergency favors happen for regulars, and staff remember every animal's history.

Praised for
  • compassionate, caring staff
  • Dr. Lori's expertise and bedside manner
  • gentle with anxious pets
  • long-term client loyalty
Watch-outs
  • very difficult to get new patient appointments (4+ months)
  • unable to accommodate emergencies for non-clients
compassionate-staffgentle-with-animalsknowledgeable-vetshard-to-get-appointmentcaring-bedside-mannerfriendly-front-desk
Best for: established pet owners willing to schedule months ahead or long-term equine/livestock owners in north Denver
Think twice if: new patients or those needing urgent slots should expect a 4+ month wait; walk-in emergencies are not accommodated

Strengths

  • Dr. Lori's 17+ years of client continuity and diagnostic skill
  • dual-specialization model (equine and small animal under one roof)
  • staff who know each pet's full history

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Lori specializes in small animals (dogs, cats); Dr. Scott handles large animals and horses
  • Some clients have been with the clinic for 17+ years
  • Very selective with new patient appointments (backlogs reported at 4 months)
  • Staff note anxious pets often calm quickly during visits

Owners report a clinic where staff invest time earning trust with reactive or anxious pets, naming specific vets (Dr. Z, Dr. Nikki, Dr. Baum, Dr. Sayer) for their gentleness and thoroughness. Long-term clients describe feeling heard and supported, with clear pricing that runs below typical Denver rates; one owner noted a $204 X-ray versus $900 quoted elsewhere. The practice uses Fear Free protocols and offers payment plans through an app. Appointment scheduling is straightforward. Multiple reviews mention the front desk, techs, and entire team by name, indicating strong continuity in a clinic where animals return willingly after initial anxiety fades.

Long-term clients praise affordability and Dr. Sebunya's care, but recent reviews reveal troubling gaps: missed kidney failure diagnosis without follow-up contact, staff conflicts with customers, turned-away emergencies, and unclear consent on procedures. The hospital advertises emergency services but apparently does not reliably provide them.
