What recent reviews say

North Denver Animal Clinic earns consistent praise for Dr. Lori's knowledge, kindness, and skill with small animals, supported by years of patient loyalty and animals who return willingly. The clinic operates with two doctors handling separate practices (Dr. Lori for small animals, Dr. Scott for large animals), but the small team makes new-patient wait times stretch to months, and the clinic cannot accommodate emergency walk-ins.

Recent shift: A 2-year-old one-star review criticizes emergency accessibility, reflecting a systemic constraint that remains an issue for new patients seeking urgent care.

Praised for
  • Dr. Lori's compassion and expertise
  • experienced staff and doctors
  • gentle with anxious animals
  • long-term patient loyalty
  • attentive care for elderly pets
Watch-outs

  • unable to handle urgent walk-ins

Families and long-time pet owners consistently describe a calm, unhurried clinic where vets and techs treat animals gently and answer questions thoroughly. Dr. Nikki, Dr. Baum, and Dr. Sayer are named repeatedly for building trust and spending real time on treatment planning. Pricing is straightforward, often undercutting other Denver practices by hundreds of dollars per service. Staff engagement is a hallmark: front desk staff welcome new arrivals warmly, techs handle nervous pets with patience, and the clinic atmosphere feels genuinely cheerful rather than clinical. Multiple reviews mention fast turnarounds and easy appointment scheduling. No substantive complaints appear in recent reviews.

Long-time clients praise Dr. Sebunya and staff compassion, with several reporting 15-20 year relationships. However, recent reviews detail serious gaps: missed diagnoses, failure to communicate test results, vague consent for procedures requiring extra anesthesia, and refusal of urgent care cases. Staff turnover and attitude shifts have frustrated established customers.
