Patients consistently report fast triage, thorough diagnostics, and staff who explain findings and costs upfront. Dr. Pearlman and most of the team earn specific praise for attentiveness and bedside manner.
However, one negative review detailed a vet's stated dislike of cats, poor injection technique causing an animal to cry out, and billing confusion from the front desk. The clinic is 24-hour, serves the greater Denver area, and handles everything from routine care to complex surgeries and specialty diagnostics.
Limited review evidence, but the single five-star rating and stated credentials (CVA, CCRT, CVBMA) suggest experienced holistic practitioners. Their site lists acupuncture, laser therapy, rehabilitation, and nutrition services since 2006.
Dr. Pochman and Dr. Frost lead a practice known for spending unhurried time with animals, especially those anxious or reactive, and for making owners feel heard. Staff remember names and stay calm through difficult visits; first-time pet owners appreciate detailed teaching and transparent pricing. The welcome bottle of wine and treats signal a culture built on making both animal and human comfortable, not rushing appointments. Reviewers most praise the staff's genuine connection with pets and each other. Surgery, dental work, and specialty diagnostics are mentioned alongside wellness care and nutrition. The modern facility and post-visit follow-ups suggest systems designed around communication. Fear Free techniques appear on their website; the review pattern shows nervous animals leaving less stressed than before. This is where reactive dogs and anxious first-time owners feel safe.
Rising Sun earns strong trust from long-term clients who praise the vets' patience with fearful or senior pets, attentive communication, and willingness to keep costs reasonable. Recent complaints highlight phone accessibility and, in isolated cases, concern that diagnostics or medication management fell short of expectations for complex GI or incontinence issues.
