We didn't have the best introduction to Woodmoor Vet Hospital, but not because of anything they did. We moved here two years ago from Arvada and our big beautiful Stanley boy had developed liver cancer. He ended up passing a month after we got here Dr. Homme had to break the news. Two years later he still remembers Stan after only meeting him once. Today Dr Homme sees my two girls (technically 3 - but the cat's opinion doesn't count she doesn't like anyone but me) who LOVE him. I really appreciate the explanations he gives me - no matter how insignificant the issue he gives me a thorough answer so I understand everything and can make a decision. Everyone up front is lovely (I've interacted with Shelly the most and she is delightful) and I've had good experiences with all the vet techs too. I'm not sure the reason for so many negative reviews on here - and I'm not invalidating anyone's experience - but I've always been happy with the care we receive here. Yes, I wish they were open on Saturday! Otherwise couldn't be happier. read more

Woodmoor Veterinary Hospital - Mabel and Sasha - Veterinarians Near Me - Monument, Colorado

I would just like to add that one of your top pro vets told us that we had to put down our dog within 24hrs - he is alive and well over a year since that sage advice. Your weak reply does not cut the hurt from that. read more

Dr Baker and her staff are awesome! She takes the extra time and care to call us and discuss the issues even if it is after hours. I trust her with our rescue Husky Halo before I would trust anyone else. We have three dogs all patient clients at Woodmoor. Dr. Baker saved our youngest Husky girl with multiple health issues as a puppy. We have always lived in Colorado and have been to many vet clinics over the years, Woodmoor Vet has always provided the best care for our dogs. We have been with them from their early years. Dr. Baker is top notch!! read more

My dog boarded there for 15 days. My dog has boarded there before so they have records of his stays. The first morning someone called to tell me he had diarrhea, possibly bloody, and I had two probiotics choices (costing $50 each) that I could pick or them to give him. My dog always is anxious the first night anywhere different. I told them to wait a day to see how he did before I wanted anything administered. They reluctantly agreed and then it was CRICKETS. I later found out it was "loose stool", no blood and he was fine the next day. Besides the daily pricing being outrageous and charging extra to put 3 chewy supplements in his food once a day, there was little to no communication with me during his stay. Even after their initial call, nothing! I called the boarding phone several times throughout his stay, never an answer. I texted several times, never an answer. I finally had to go through the vet office to get someone from boarding on the phone. The manager took 2 days to call me back and basically had no answers. That's the last time I'll be using them. For a bill that would have been over $1000 (they gave me a $132.00 discount for my troubles), I want and expect a response from someone in boarding pronto -- either text or call. Unacceptable. Unfortunately, my discontent has seeped into their veterinary office and I'll be looking for another one of those as well. read more

Repeated lack of prompt & proper communication along with mismanagement of records is putting my dogs life in danger. Moving to another practice ASAP. Dr. Baker may be a caring and attentive vet but if your staff cannot manage records or communicate urgent results then that doesn't matter. read more

My dog came home injured. I placed him in the care of woodmoor kennel for 6 days and he came home hurting. It has been only 2 days and we are still discovering new injuries. He had a slight limp and pain near a front paw. In addition we discovered his tail is injured along with his shoulder area. I called to find out what happened to the healthy dog I dropped off a few days prior. I spoke with Denise, the kennel manager. She was very protective of her staff insisting they did nothing wrong, but did say she would look at videos of his stay. She told me later that she looked at the videos of the dog in the walk ways and her staff all agreed with her that my dog looked fine. I asked what about film footage of the employee in his individual kennel, they have none. But Denis is absolutely positive the employee wouldn't of had enough time to injur my dog, when out of site of the camera. I asked how long does it take to kick a dog? She then told me we have nothing more to talk about. I hope this review saves helps someone to make an informed decision on trusting this company with their family pet.​ read more

I have been there twice now. The first time was great. The second time not so much. They don't work with any pharmacies, won't call in a prescription. They fail to tell you that you have to come to their office to pick up a written prescription, they see no urgency when your pet is running out of a prescription due to a dosage change on a medication that can't just be stopped. They wouldn't talk to the pharmacy when they called the office trying to help me. Obviously they don't really care about the animals they are treating. Just like so many veterinarians out there they are all about the money and they have an incompetent staff in the front office. read more

I've never had a better experience at a vet! From the front desk, to the vet techs, to the vet herself! Such kind humans and they take their time to explain things. Over the weekend, I had a pet emergency and my normal vet was closed Monday morning. I called them at 8am, and I was able to get my dog in at 9am. He was in rocky shape, and they give me so much peace of mind everything was going to be alright. He is back to his spunky self! I will be moving all my animals to this vet! So thankful for them and how they turned a rough situation around! read more

I love this place, they have been our vet for over 15 years. The staff are kind, caring and treat you and your pet like family. Dr. Baker is the most wonderful person, and helps calm you and your pet. I highly recommend! read more

When I asked for price for rabies shot and other shot I was given price less than $60. When I went to pay I was charged an additional $18. This is downright dishonest. read more

I have a 13 year old arthritic dog that just needs meds to keep her comfortable. They did check my dog out and gave me two weeks of pain meds but then would not refill because she did not have a rabies vaccine. And on top of that they are very expensive. I would not recommend there are too many other awesome vets in the area. read more

Wonderful staff... so friendly! And wait times are always really great. Best of all my dog has a rare disease that got dismissed by another vet given its rarity, but Woodmoor approached her care with a sensible, methodical, and affordable manner that elucidated her true diagnosis. They made arrangements for easy access to an unusual treatment and my girl is doing hugely better! I appreciate the patient, deliberate approach as well as how well they listened to me! read more

Just as so many others have reviewed we had a very bad experience and no longer use this vet. we've found one across the highway that is better suited to our needs. read more

We take all of our pets to Woodmoor Veterinary Hospital and have never had a bad experience. They are caring, thorough and fair. Most of the negative reviews I have seen are related to costs. I have always received an estimate of changes and they are fair. Pets are not cheap and that's one of the reasons we have pet insurance. read more

Unbelievably expensive! After it was determined that our cat had far too many health problems and needed multiple surgeries, we reluctantly determined that euthanasia was our best course of action to alleviate his suffering. I was quoted $129.50 for just the euthanasia, and an additional $73 to have him mass-cremated with other animals or $179.50 if we would like a private cremation so our pet's ashes could be returned to us. I called Front Range Animal Hospital and Monument Vet Clinic (both local as well) and their prices were almost half. Mind you, this is after we spent several hundred dollars in diagnostic assessments already. There was also an issue where we had agreed to have an x-ray done, and then proceed with a surgery quote. When they went in the back to write up our estimate, they apparently decided to run two more x-rays on our cat without our authorization. To my shock, they attempted to charge me an additional $200 for the extra x-rays I didn't ask for. To their credit, they did decide to remove that charge after I refused to pay it, but that should have been a major red flag to me there. We had been clients of Woodmoor Vet for many years with multiple pets, and while I have been satisfied with the staff for the most part, their service is certainly not deserving of this kind of premium pricing. We will be taking our pets elsewhere in the future. read more

We just moved here from CA and did not have a vet yet. We called them because our pup was having seizures. We saw Dr Huston and she took care of him right away and understood his health issues. She even reached out to our Vet in CA to get his records great service from everyone who helped us. read more

The Absolute Worst Vet experience I have had in my 40 years of being a pet owner!! They are outrageously expensive and the care is poor at best. We were quoted a price for treatment of an injury and ended up paying 4x the initial quote. When I very nicely asked for an explanation for all the additional costs the office lady literally yelled at me in the lobby! I highly recommend you take your pet elsewhere. read more

I have only had good experiences here. Dr Baker is terrific. Yes, money is an issue. I suspect it is thus everywhere.

We ended up at Woodmoor after Banfield misdiagnosed our dog resulting in additional damage to her legs. Dr Baker took one look at our dog and knew exactly what was wrong before confirming with X-rays. After surgery and rehab, our dog is healthy, happy and better than ever. Yes I agree with some of the others that they do charge a ton for what they do but to be honest, you get what you pay for. The entire staff is extremely friendly and makes my 70 pound Pitty feel like she's with family. Dr Baker spends as much time as we need not only with our dog but with us explaining everything and answering all our questions. You can certainly find a local vet that charges less but my experience has proven some others simply don't know what they are doing and can't give the same level of care. read more

Our 8 pound puppy was attacked by coyotes, and we raced to this hospital and they were amazing! Everyone was soo kind and helpful. They were able to stabilize her and even rode along with us to the Pet ER to make sure she stayed stable on the transport. We will be using this vet from now on with all of our pets! read more

I've never taken any of my pets to this vet. All I can say Is that they have kennels in the back of their building and I was in the parking lot next door. A female was out in the kennel area and started screaming at one of the dogs and the proceeded to mishandle and either hit or grab the dog very roughly causing the dog to yelp. I'm not sure about how the vets are in this facility but judging on the other reviews it looks like they need to review and fire some of their vet techs. read more

WORST CARE EVER! Took my dog here twice....once for an eye injury and for routine follow up and vaccinations. Would not let me go back with my dog! My dog did not like them...animals know who the compassionate caregivers are. OVERCHARGE....charged me a disposal fee for the needles used in the vaccinations and blood draw.....REALLY! I have been in human healthcare for 35 yrs and NEVER charged for this....when the receptionist was asked about this fee, she was RUDE and CONDESENDING, stated this is COMMON PRACTICE in the community. Really! Took my dog to another provider today across the highway... was able to go back with my dog....my dog had a TRUE surgical procedure with no disposal fee....and they credited an overcharge...WOW....know where my furry friends will be going for care in the future...NOT WOODMOOR VET HOSPITAL! read more

I've had my pets at Woodmoor clinic for years. The staff was always friendly both towards customers and especially pets. Recently most of the staff have been replaced especially the former very animal friendly veterinarian The current Veterinarian is efficient but cold and un-personable, no more small town friendly veterinary feel and other than one assistant, most seem unfamiliar with animals. Either that or they have been hardened by society and don't really care about animals other than the pay check they provide. Ensure to read your invoice carefully and don't pay for services not provided. This happened to me, I called back within minutes of payment and they refused to refund money for a charge for services which they did not provide. The new Woodmoor clinic has become an assembly line for animals. read more

We switched to the Woodmoor Veterinary Hospital after another Monument vet completely misdiagnosed our dog's ailment and almost had us do an unnecessary surgery. So far, they have been great to us. Plus, they give a 5% military discount and boarding and medical care. read more

Wonderful service! Dr Davezac is very knowledgeable and was very understanding when we needed to come by at closing time. We will definitely use this clinic for all our needs. read more

Dr. Curtis has been wonderful to us. She takes the time to really listen and has always treated our dog with love, kindness and respect. I have always found the entire staff to be helpful and friendly as well. read more

We have been customers for years and will not return. Unnecessary procedure recommended according to another vet who did a much more thorough exam. Over-priced. 30 minutes wait and perfunctory apology, indicating this is the norm. Would not recommend. read more

My pets, include cats and dogs, they are my family and Dr. Huston and her staff treat them like they are their family as well. We have been going to Woodmoor Veterinary Hospital for 19 years and they are the best at caring for and diagnosing problems. They make the time to take care of you and your pet. We board with them and the dogs and the cat love to go there. They get groomed by Karen and they love her and come home strutting their stuff. I feel my pets are safe and secure with Woodmoor Vet and would recommend them to everyone, in fact I have. Are they more expensive then some, not that i'm aware of, but we knew when we got pets that care and expenses come with them. We went for quality of health care not cut rate. read more

I have taken my animals to the Woodmoor Vet Hospital and boarded my animals in the kennel for more than 4 years. I have had nothing but wonderful experiences in all areas of the facility. The front desk is always friendly, the vets LOVE my animals like I do, and the woman working back in the kennel treats my dogs like the king and queen that they are; she too LOVES my dogs. I fully trust all the employees working there with my animals. I have read through the reviews, and one in particular was quite frustrating. Some one claims to have " heard" from a nearby building that there was mistreatment of an animal going on in the kennel. Did the person see anything? Did the person say anything? No, the person posted a false claim on social media. It really is unfair to make such a horrible accusation. The Woodmoor Kennel is probably the most loving kennel environment I've ever encountered and I will continue boarding my dogs there. My animals are my babies, my dog actually had puppies and the vets at Woodmoor took terrific care of them. I simply couldn't be happier with all the staff. I would highly recommend taking your animals there. read more

Great staff, great doctors! Expect a good visit when you come here. They have 2 new doctors that are very smart and want the best for your pet. They offer competitive pricing and will cater to your pets needs. They are quick to get you in for an appointment and the technical staff is amazing. Wouldn't take my pet anywhere else. read more

Average veterinary care but overpriced. Vets will push excess medication on you and young receptionist is rude.

I feel unfortunate that I have to leave this review due to 2 unpleasant experiences at Woodmoor Veterinary Hospital. We've had our 2 dogs seen by Dr. Baker and Dr. Curtis since moving to Colorado 2 years ago and they have both been very informative and made good effort in diagnosing our dogs. The receptionist have always welcoming and friendly too. However, in two of our recent visits, we had terrible experiences with one of the nurses, Amy. She seems to be very rough in handling our dogs, once causing our dog's incision to reopen and bleed when removing his suture post surgery, and just today we watched her excessively force squeezed a bump on our other dog's belly as if she was trying to pop it, causing it to bleed and inflamed before Dr. Baker even had a chance to diagnose it. The second incident made us really mad because our dog went in with this bump that didn't have any external bleeding and was not bothering him, but because of her mishandling we had to go home with meds to keep his new wound that she caused from getting infected. We love our dogs like all pet owners do and want to do everything within our ability to keep them healthy, so having to leave the vet with our dogs in worse states than before bringing them in breaks our hearts. We will continue to see Dr. Baker and Dr. Curtis because we do trust them, but from now on we'll be requesting to have another nurse than Amy to prevent any such unnecessary pain from being introduced to our dogs again. read more

Can't recommend Dr. Huston highly enough. We are in between vets and due for annuals for both dogs. Our older one developed breathing problems a week and a half ago. We took her to a different vet further south where they took X-rays chest down and did bloodwork but couldn't find anything. They sent us home with antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. She got worse so two days ago we took her to the Powers Pet ER who performed the head and neck X-ray and found a mass pushing on her windpipe. Since the mass hadn't responded to one of the antibiotics they concluded it was likely cancerous and not an abscess. Before she choked to death we decided to have her put down. She was a rescue so we weren't sure of her age (probably ~13) but it didn't make it any easier as she'd been in our family for almost 5 years and had a pretty rough life before us. We needed to find a new vet anyway so we chose Woodmoor since it is near our house. I say all that to explain my mindset when I brought her in to have her put to sleep. I almost walked out on our appointment. Dr. Huston and VT Amy were very kind and patient with me and my family who were not having a good go during all this. What impressed me the most was Dr. Huston took samples of the tumor while Jersey was asleep to rule out an abscess and put me at peace with it all. At the end of it all they didn't even charge us for the extra procedure and made us a clay paw print. In a day when all Vets seem to charge premiums and recommend unneeded services to pay for their spa gallery offices it was extremely refreshing that she didn't take advantage of the situation. I probably would have paid about anything at that point. Thanks guys, for making yesterday not as devastating. You have my business and loyalty. read more

I had a great experience here. The front desk was very polite and friendly. Dr Jan was great with my normally very skittish german shepard mix. She was able to engage him and earn his trust while talking to me. She was very informed and even pointed out something about my dog that my former vet did not. The office was clean and didn't reek either, that's a huge plus for me! On the downside the parking lot was a little difficult for me to find, probably only because I'm new to Monument. The driveway is between the gas station and the vet building. read more

As a lot of you know my dog suffered a tear of her ACL. Because she's old, diabetic, blind and we live in a 3 story townhouse we decided on comfort measures. After getting home, I researched one of her "medications " as I wasn't familiar. The veterinarian wanted her on Denamarin for her liver function because she's on Carprofen and Gabapentin for pain and inflammation. The Denamarin is a supplement, SamE and milk thistle. I was charged $122.48 for a supplement!! When I called them today to say I wanted a refund they stated they couldn't because it's a prescription and could be tampered with! The box was never opened!! Online I could purchase this same supplement for $60. They stated that the online companies can't be trusted for the quality of their "medications ". I responded that it's from the same manufacturer. They still wouldn't give me a refund. I questioned them further that does her liver function really matter as long as she's comfortable in her remaining days?(the hospice nurse in me). They were adamant about the supplement! The best part of this story is I called several other local veterinary clinics and on average they were $35 cheaper for the supplement! Americans have to worry about their own health problems and big pharma, now we can't trust veterinarians!! read more

Dr. Baker and staff at Woodmoor are excellent. She assisted us recently with our older Corgi who could no longer stand. She gave us all the choices and let us discuss what we wanted for our guy. She greeted us and immediately got on our dogs level. She preformed the exam while making sure he was comfortable and felt loved. While we had a very hard decision to make, somehow having a staff of compassionate people allowed us to focus what we truly knew we had to do. Thank you to a staff that go beyond what is expected. Also we have dealt with all the doctors on staff, you can't go wrong. We so believe in this group that we have used them for over 20 years. Good business run with Great people! Very fair prices!! read more

Anything pertaining to doctors is excessively expensive. Opportunistic billing practices. I had my two dogs boarded for a two week period and upon checkout both had received a doctor's exam and treatment for diarrhea. The boarding staff told me the entire kennel had stress diarrhea after the arrival of a "high powered" dog for boarding. Occupancy was full. Quite the windfall for the doctors!!!!! I have moved my patronage to another doctor and facility. read more

BEWARE OF THIS VET! Took cat in for routine allergy related visit. Out of the blue, vet said she needed dental surgery and gave me an estimate for $900. In shock, I got two additional opinions from two reputable vets (no charge). Both said there is ZERO indication the cat has ANY dental problems whatsoever! I WAS IN SHOCK! The two honest vets then BOTH informed me that they disagree with the so-called 'treatment' she received here re: vaccinations and steroid injections. So not only did they try to perform an unnecessary surgery for $900, they gave her two injections that should never have been given together, and one wasn't needed at all. And to blow me away even further, they charge substantially more for EVERYTHING than any other vet I have ever been to. Dishonest doctors caring for our pets - NO WAY! read more

My husband and I are new to the area and have used Woodmoor Veterinary Hospital for our 2 dogs for lodging and vet services. Our dog had become ill and had large amounts of blood in his stool. I took our dog in to be evaluated and at the desk they asked if I brought a stool sample, I stated "no, it was all blood". I went to the back and was again asked and gave the same response. I then saw the doctor, who explained to me that this was normal for dogs to get blood in stool with diarrhea, I again explained it was a lot and was reassured, but the doctor also stated " I am not saying that there is nothing really wrong with your dog" but proceeded to order some medicines and DID not obtain a stool sample OR do blood work on my dog. i took my dog, paid and left and was not convinced that they had properly cared for my dog, so I immediately went to another vet without an appointment and got in and got an entire work up that included a stool sample and blood work. There is a good chance that my dog has cancer, we find out when the results come back. The bottom line is they did not even take a stool sample or take any blood work. They seemed much more interested in giving me an estimate for my dog for EYE surgery for 1,000 plus that they stated that he needs.... needless to say, we will not be utilizing their services again read more

This place has become terrible. After this last experience, I will not be taking my animals here anymore. I waited over 40 minutes past my appointment time to be seen by the vet. More dogs kept coming in and my dog was getting more anxious. The receptionist lady refused to put me into a room stating the policy changed and that was not longer her job to do so. Finally, after the 40 minutes then the nurse finally comes and gets me. She was very impersonal and I think she was drinking on the job. Her breath smelled of alcohol, maybe she grabbed a cold one on lunch? I'm not sure what was going on but I was appalled by the experience I was getting. She kept interrupting me about the concerns i had with my dog to talk on a walkie talkie. This is the first time I was here in a few months and it felt like a completely different clinic. Kristan was an awful nurse and I can't believe at the way she was handling my dog. Luckily, the veterinarian- Dr Wratten was pleasant and was helpful in answering my questions. I started going to Woodmoor because of their ability to get me in on short notice, the short wait time, the amazing staff, how personable they were with my dog and I. I hate to say it, but after today I will not be going back or recommend anyone to to go here. Stay far away. read more
