Animal Works - Veterinary Surgery

From the moment we met Dr. Erickson, we felt genuine care and compassion. We were originally told by another vet that nothing could be done for Mollie’s eye and that enucleation was the only option. Walking into that appointment was heartbreaking. But Dr. Erickson took the time to thoroughly examine my dog and, instead of rushing into surgery, she encouraged us to seek a second opinion with an ophthalmologist. She gave us something we didn’t have before—hope. She didn’t charge us for the visit, which spoke volumes about her character and integrity. Thanks to her recommendation and the care from Dr. Burgesser at Animal Eye Center, Mollie was able to keep her eye. Although it turned white from the injury, it’s still there—and that means everything to us. We are beyond grateful for Dr. Erickson’s honesty, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile. Because of her, our outcome was completely different than we expected. We will absolutely be returning to Animal Works and recommending her to anyone who wants a vet that truly cares.

It's hard for me to find the right words for my review because absolutely everything about Animal Works was above and beyond, to the point where it could bring one to tears. My pup had been diagnosed with her second Mast Cell tumor on the same leg within a year and was unfortunately in a very difficult spot to remove. Every Vet/surgeon around the Denver Metropolitan area quoted me between 2 to $4,000 for just the removal. Animal Works not only came in to save my pup but my finances by performing the surgery, sending off for pathology, consultation and the attached (adorable surgery suit) for around $1400. Care Credit accepted and of course everyone's price will vary depending on size, type, and location of surgery but you should trust their price. Worth the drive from Broomfield. You can also tell how much a vet and staff care just by the little things they do that might seem normal to them. When I was given my pup's pain medication for post op they were already broken in 2 for proper dosage, something I've not seen a vet do before for my dog. Even went on a walk with me and the dog to keep an eye on her for a bit. Almost cried right then and there and I wish I lived closer.

Even though this is one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever had to write, I feel it’s important to share how incredibly compassionate and caring the entire team was during the most difficult time of my life. They took such wonderful care of my dog and treated her with dignity, kindness, and genuine love until the very end. The veterinarian and staff never rushed us, explained everything clearly, and made sure my dog was comfortable and surrounded by care. Their empathy meant more than I can put into words, and it brought comfort knowing she was in such gentle, capable hands. While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, I will always be grateful for the respect, patience, and humanity they showed us. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive team during such a heartbreaking goodbye. Thank you for caring so deeply. It will never be forgotten.

Everyone here was so kind and genuine they made me feel so much better about everything that was going to be happening to my kitty (spay surgery with an infected uterus). Dr. Erickson went over everything in full detail with me allowing me to put all my trust in her, I can’t recommend this place enough. They did great work and even in a serious situation, with a smile these are great people doing great things thank you guys so much for taking such great care of my sweet baby Tif she’s so much happier now!!

I chose them to spay my 2 year old lab Katie and they did an amazing job. Although it is a super common surgery, I was super anxious while looking for a place to get it done. They are super affordable and helpful when it comes to any questions or concerns you may have. My sister also got her kitten spayed here and they did amazing with her as well! I would recommend to anyone that needs to get their animals fixed!

I've been in vet med & dog rescue for many, many years. I've gone to numerous clinics for other surgeries and Animal works was the best I've worked with. The compassion and kindness shown to us made all the difference. Every staff member treated Bandit as if he was their own, speaking gently, moving patiently, and making sure he felt safe and loved. The vet took the time to explain everything and never rushed us. This clinic is truly special, and I will forever be thankful for the care they gave us.

We had an Entropion surgery done on our Dog and it turned out really good. It made his life so much happier. I highly recommend them for surgeries.
