Veterinary Specialists of the Rockies - Castle Rock, Colorado

Had to bring in my sweet cat late on a Monday night for a mass removal after it had become infected. The vets and assistants were so kind, helpful and explained everything so well. They took such great care of my girl, were attentive, and quick. We had to wait a little bit for her surgery to start due to other pets coming in with more urgent matters, which is totally understandable. I loved to see they worked on most critical cases first! The cost and break down was very transparent and reasonable, considering sedation was required. If we need an emergency vet visit again, we will definitely be coming here!

I had an old kitty that had reached his time to cross the rainbow bridge. The staff were very nice and caring about the situation. We were led to a cozy, nice looking room with a sofa to sit on to spend the final moments with my cat. We were told to take all the time we needed. They offered treats for my cat to enjoy.

My cat got to spend his last moments on my lap in a comfortable room. When I came back to pick up his paw print, they had even washed the towel and cat bed I had brought with him to his appointment. That took me by surprise and meant a lot.

Every single one of my experiences here has been amazing. First, I can't sing Dr.Arthur and her teams praises enough (in oncology). They've been so amazing and loving and patient and kind with my sweet baby boy 🐶 that has leukemia. Her treatment has worked as expected and she's been very communicative and helpful throughout the process along with her assistants too.

On another occasion we had to bring our dog in because he ate a block of rat poison and that trip to was a smooth and prompt experience with positive results as well.

Happy thus far with every step here!

That said, they are an ER so most services cost more than a normal vet but that's somewhat to be expected.

I could not be more happy with this hospital. My old boy (16) had the absolute best care I could ever ask for. He got a little over zealous with a stuffy and caused himself a blockage. Dr. DeSandre met with us as for the best course of action for him. Multiple options were presented and attempted before we made the decision to remove with surgery. Her knowledge, heart, love for her work, and understanding of what we were going through saved our boy and gave us more time with him. We are forever thankful for her care and her patience. Excellent care isn't always cheap but it is absolutely worth every penny. Thank you so much VSR and thank you for being such an awesome surgeon and person Dr. DeSandre! "De-we-worming at its finest!"

Horrible experience. 3 hours, never saw a doctor. Was referred here when my dog cut his foot. Arrived about 9:00 am and showed them this picture since the cut is hard to see when his foot is all bloody. Was shown to a room and told they were a little understaffed but would get to me. They checked in an hour later. Then, at 11:30, after waiting two and a half hours, I asked for an update. Was told they thought someone had already seen me and that it would be another 30-60 minutes until a doctor could check on the dog. A 3-4 hour wait is not emergency service, and losing track of who has been seen is not acceptable. I am glad all my dog needed was some wound cleaning and a few stitches. Maybe it was a bad day, but I would not trust this location if your pet has a serious issue.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for the care and support we have had with Dr Arthur and her oncology team. Our 11 year old chihuahua was diagnosed with lymphoma it was devastating news for our family. We found Veterinary Specialists of the Rockies in Castle Rock Oncology Department. Dr Arthur was so caring and walked through all the steps and option's for our Laverne. Dr Arthur’s oncology team is absolutely amazing. We knew when we left her for her chemotherapy she was in the best hands. The care and love they show during such a difficult time is beyond words. They love all their cancer babies. I also want to say how grateful we are for the ER front desk. They deal with very stressful situations on a daily basis but always was helpful and caring week after week. Thank you Dr Arthur our family is so grateful for you. We are now moving to a maintenance with Laverne and we just enjoy everyday we have with her.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Our senior working dog is experiencing age related issues and Dr. Abbott very sensitively helped us decipher what makes sense for her care. Care was timely, everyone was very thorough, and communication was excellent all the way through, from the front reception to after care instructions.

Our dog, Henry, came here due to severe GI issues that ultimately led to a cancer diagnosis, and after a couple weeks we had to let him go. From start to finish, Veterinary Specialists of the Rockies provided excellent care, showered him with love, provided us with consistent updates and gave us direct news at each stage of the journey. After his passing, they checked in on us and even sent very nice cards. We would recommend this place to anyone in need of an ER vet who cares about your pet like its their own and who care about you as a person going through a tough situation. We are really thankful that Henry came here during his last few weeks of life.
