“Dr. Williams at Gunbarrel Vet Clinic in Boulder is very thorough and takes her time to provide options for pets (she helps all 4 of ours). The clinic doesn't work on small animals but she made an emergency exception and saved our tiny hamster, Bumble. She had such serious injuries that I had signed euthanasia papers, but Dr. Williams managed to save her. Bumble made a full recovery.” – Emelie S. Griffith, Broker Associate

"Dr. Mary Esh diagnosed my friend's dog with bone cancer when the other vet said it was not cancer. The dog is now doing well on a special diet that Dr. Esh suggested." – Michi Sakurai, Broker Associate

Denver Area
Rocky Mountain Veterinary Neurology (RMVN)
Diagnosing a specific neurological disorder may be very difficult. This specialized clinic in Englewood will guide you and your veterinarian in the decision-making process. Their objectives are to obtain a complete health history of the patient and perform a complete physical and neurological examination. Just this information alone will help them create a solid plan for your pet’s future, whether it be medications, diagnostic tests, surgery, or just rest.
“When all the other vets told us our baby had a brain tumor, Dr. Lane at Rocky Mountain Veterinary Neurology took the time to investigate and discovered an auto-immune disease that was attacking her brain tissue, causing swelling and seizures. He has looked over our family ever since and helped Furli to make a full recovery. Here she is with her sisters at Christmas.” – Miranda Hofer, Commission Specialist and Accounting Clerk
