Most patients and owners experience calm, attentive care from vets who dig deeper into diagnosis rather than prescribing reflexively. Dr. Feldman earns particular praise for research-backed treatment plans, exotic animal expertise, and bedside manner that spans multiple species.
The facility runs on time with clean premises and staff who remember details. Pricing sits higher than budget clinics, though most reviewers see it as fair for what they receive. Two recent critics note cost increases since the newer location opened, and one found the end-of-life exam fee insensitive.
Recent shift: Since the relocation to the new location, two recent reviews flag rising costs and note that Dr. Feldman is now the primary draw; some dissatisfaction with new hire vets contrasts sharply with the overwhelming five-star pattern.
Dr. Herman earns consistent five-star praise for deep expertise, compassionate handling of emergencies and end-of-life decisions, and willingness to guide clients through complex care choices across multiple pets over decades.
Limited review evidence available. The business operates in East Denver and offers general care, dentistry, surgery, and alternative services. Rating spread is wide (5-star and 1-2 star), suggesting inconsistent experiences. Website lists vaccines, screening, wellness exams, and breeding services with occasional discounts.
Belcaro's 4.8-star rating reflects deeply loyal clients who return for decades. Multiple reviewers named Dr. Bechtold, Dr. Herman, and Dr. Sweet as exceptional, with staff like Karly and Keith earning specific praise for calming fearful animals. The clinic avoids unnecessary surgery and delivers speedy follow-up care. One client felt a particular vet rushed her dog; another received an incomplete medication order. Prices are called fair; same-day or next-day appointments are routine.
