What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise Dr. H Howells for turning an agonizing goodbye into a dignified, supported experience. Her responsiveness, emotional attentiveness, and calm presence at home appointments help families focus on loving their pet rather than the loss itself.

The service operates as a one-person practice, which limits availability and caused one family to seek alternatives during vacation. Despite this constraint, reviews highlight transparent communication, reasonable pricing for cremation packages, and genuine care extended to the whole family including children.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

  • responsive communication

Second Chances Veterinary Care

4.6(410)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Staff consistently greet patients with kindness and work fast to fit animals in, especially for urgent or end-of-life needs. Dental cleanings produce visible results that owners note; pricing beats many traditional clinics, though a handful of customers say their costs run higher than expected. A recurring friction: some appointments are handled by technicians without a veterinarian present, and communication about treatment options can feel blunt when budgets are tight. The business covers general wellness, surgery, dental work, and house calls across Denver and the Front Range. Dr. Mausbach leads the team. Most visits feel efficient rather than leisurely, and owners report clear explanations upfront. A few patients felt staff dismissed their requests or failed to explore diagnostic options step-by-step within their financial means.

Banfield draws strong loyalty from some clients who praise staff compassion and willingness to accommodate urgent needs, particularly groomer Taryn and Dr. Barnhart. However, a substantial portion report chronic frustration: hour-long waits for scheduled appointments, misleading pricing on wellness plans, and instances where radiologists missed masses later found by emergency vets, leaving pets and owners devastated. The company model itself generates friction. Reviewers describe being sold imaging they did not need, forced into drop-off appointments causing pet anxiety, and difficulty reaching supervisors on billing disputes. Some have watched service quality decline over years of membership. When individual vets and techs connect with an owner, the experience shines; when the system fails, the human cost runs deep.

Holistic Care For Animals

Dr. Jan Facinelli runs a holistic-focused practice in Wheat Ridge where most visits involve the vet examining and treating your pet in the same room with you present. Reviewers consistently praise her knowledge of homeopathy and alternative medicine, her gentleness with anxious or previously traumatized pets, and the personal care she and office manager Bettina provide. One complaint about phone consultation pricing ($450 for two sessions) and insensitive handling during a pet death notification stands out in an otherwise uniformly positive record.
