Broadlands Veterinary Clinic

I would give them a zero if there was an option. My wife and I just adopted our dog this week, he is 8 years old and has had VERY little human interaction in his life. It currently takes us a considerable amount of time to get our dog into the car. Today my wife took our dog in for his appointment and my wife was 10 minutes late for the appointment. We currently cannot control how long it takes to convince our dog to come into the car. We are concerned about his bowel movements and want to be sure he is ok. Because my wife was 10 minutes late, they refused to see our dog and made them leave the building. These folks don't care about animals, but they love your money. Very saddened by what happened to my wife today. Absolutely zero consideration for the stress the animal went through to get there and the time that is required to convince our dog to go. As pet owners we all know that we can be as planned as we want, but our animals have a different agenda. I am sure they will love your perfect dog, but don't go here if you have an amazing dog that requires more love. It's just too bad, we really wanted to like it here! Read Less

I am new to Westminster area and had to find a new vet. this is a review based solely on my first and unbiased impression. walking in I was greeted by friendly front desk staff.... however every second following that, I was not impressed whatsoever with this veterinarian. After entering the room and waiting about 15 minutes for her, She walks in and reeked of cigarette smoke. She was extremely unprofessional and rude to her tech, in front of me- which made me and the tech very awkwardly uncomfortable. My dog had what seemed to me to be a tooth ache. She tells me before running a SINGLE test or even really accurately examining my dogs mouth that it "might be CANCER OF THE JAW." "Might be"...... I asked her how I brace myself for that possibility, she says "if it's bottom jaw, the jaw can be removed, but if it's the top jaw you're basically screwed." WHAT?! Are you kidding me. How do you break news like that to a new client with such poor diction. She tells me she can't get a good look at his teeth without putting him under anesthesia, so sends me home with antibiotics and says "if he doesn't start eating or improving within a week, give me a call" I left very unhappy about the $100 bill for her to tell me it "might be cancer," and nothing else. My dog was still in pain, lethargic, and not eating. I left feeling just as helpless as when I walked in. I went to another vet two days later, only to find out it was in fact a tooth ache. saved from a lot of painful time and money. Will never go back to this vet. Read Less

Dr. Perkin and her staff run a top-notch veterinary clinic. Dr. Perkin is extremely thorough and takes the time to address any and all of your pet's needs and answer any questions you may have. The tech staff is caring and helpful and keep the waiting room and examination rooms spotless. Wait times are minimal which is surprising considering Dr. Perkin spends as much time with you and your pet as needed. I highly recommend Broadlands Veterinary Clinic! Read Less

All the times I've gone here everyone has been extremely friendly. Good for your routine wellness checks and vaccines. However I found when it came to serious and chronic issues, care was lacking and it became more of a guessing game, test this test that, homeopathic this, homeopathic that, which believe me I would rather have, but if it fails and the animal deteriorates then we need to admit to going another path. It was getting too costly for me to go there. I switched vets and my pet was diagnosed (properly - no wonder nothing she was trying worked - and this wasn't the first time we had a misdiagnosis) and better very soon, no more trials, just cured. Also, the Dr. is not fond of children and will be sure to show or vocalize to you if your children are bothering her. Anytime I took my kids with me I told them to be as still and quiet as possible and basically freeze or she will get mad. Even if your kids are amazing, making a peep seemed to matter to her. Again, nice place, just not for us. Read Less

I have taken both my dogs and now my geriatric cat to Broadlands for regular exams and other issues. Each time staff have been very welcoming and Dr. Perkins provides straight and concise answers to my questions. They were able to get me in the schedule quickly last week when my cat started vomiting an unusual amount. I was a basket case with concerns and questions before an ultrasound (to help diagnose the vomiting). The receptionist was extremely patient and listened to every worry I found myself babbling on about and she responded professionally and compassionately. I appreciate them caring and working with me for all my pets health needs especially during this unexpected appointment. Dr. Perkins is exceptionally caring, she takes the time to let your pet adjust and get to know the room (and staff) during exams to let them relax as much as possible, but also keeps things moving at a business like pace so you're not sitting around waiting too long. You can tell she has a passion for helping animals and is entirely invested in their best interest. It's hard for me to trust people with my animals, but I trust the staff at this clinic. Read Less

Loving, caring staff. Upfront about costs. I've been with them for two years. My dog had to be put down and the vet was very kind through the whole process. Our new cat was a rescue and they helped bring him back up to a proper quality of life.Read Less

After several years of giving more chances to them, enough is enough. A constant rotation of vet techs that either know too little, have too little patience, or are rough with our animals. One time our cat carrier was upended and our cat unceremoniously dumped on the counter. Front desk staff has displayed a constant lack of knowledge, ordering the wrong meds, calling us in to pick up meds that are not actually in, etc.... The vet herself has had a habit of over diagnosing and miss diagnosing problems. We spent thousands of dollars on several batteries of tests to fix our dogs incontinence problem, tried a half dozen meds, and nothing worked. Took her to our new vet and got the problem treated first try. This place is a disaster. Read Less

Could not have asked for a nicer staff. My dog even nervous peed in the middle of their lobby and they still went out of their way to make him feel calm and comfortable. For someone with a large, kind of skiddish dog, this was amazing. He warmed up to them immediately after that. This visit was also for an emergency and they made time to see my pup. I didn't even have time to fill out my form when they called his name. I found my new vet clinic and I would recommend to anyone who asked for a suggestion. Read Less

Enzo loves coming to this vet office! They always take fantastic care of him and answer any questions we might have! I always leave feeling confident my dog is getting the care and attention he needs from Dr. Perkin! It has been about two years now we have been going here, and we will always go back. :) Read Less

Well I am a person who has fur babies, and with all the vets loki has visited from Canada to here I the usa! This vet is by far the best!! I never will go anywhere else. It says allot of a vet if your dog seems more chill, not snapping or growling unlike other vets, she treats your animal like her own. Read Less

She loves animals but I don't believe she likes people at all. When asked for advice on signs I should look as to when to neuter our dog, I was told with attitude, "I don't have a crystal ball" and she walked out of the room. I had a $40 bottle of dog shampoo added to my bill without asking me. I was scolded and told my puppy was way to thin. I took my dog to a new vet for a meet and greet the day after and he felt he was at a perfect weight considering he was a slender breed. She reeks of cigarette smoke which is really hard to take while in the small exam rooms. At first I thought their prices were the lowest around but our new vet is about 10% cheaper. I'd pay much more for my dog but it's nice to save money if the care is excellent. Read Less

This clinic was right next door and had great Yelp reviews...Greeted at the door by a warm fluffy cat (one of the clinics 4 adopted strays...) how nice! The staff was warm and genuine and the doc's fill in Vet was fabulous- Cost effective-For an exam, culture/lab and antibiotics, we spent under $100- not only was the staff welcoming and friendly, but they showed us a conservative approach and let us pick our options :-) Read Less

Spoke to Kamera, she answered all of my questions and also gave me info I would have not even ask about. She took the time to talk with me and Doctor Perkin is very caring and I just feel so comfortable taking my pet there. I highly recommend this vet.Read Less

We have been taking our pets to Dr. Perkin for nearly a decade now. Our dear old chocolate lab, Molly Brown, reached the end of her life about a month ago. Erin and her staff were always there for her and provided the very best, compassionate care that we could ask for over her 15+ year life (labs rarely make it that long). Dr. Perkin is a very big step up from the animal "clinics" with multiple vets and no continuity for interaction with you or your pets. Frankly, Erin just loves animals and employs staff who feel the same.Read Less

We took our elderly cat to see Dr. Perkin when we moved here 3 years ago. She had multiple health issues. They were wonderful with her ( and she was a rascal to work on). She was 18 when we moved here and with their help she lived to be 21 years old. She passed away last September and they were very compassionate and helpful. I would highly recommend them for pet care. Read Less

If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. We took our animals here for years but when we took in a sick cat, they misdiagnosed the illness, caused an additional two+ weeks of the cat suffering, and bilked more money from us when they KNEW it was too late. When Dr. P said she could save the cat, after her associate vet misdiagnosed the problem, we wanted so desparately to believe her. She said in 48 hours we would see a huge improvement. In 48 hours he was dead! The bottom line here is, DO NOT take a sick animal here!!! Find a new place to get vaccines becuase when you need real help, they are incompetent and are only interested in taking as much money from you for as long as possible. Read Less

Quite simply, the best vet I've ever been to.  We use to go to the vet clinic on 104th and they were  awful.  After telling off one of the vets at the 104th clinic for being as dumb as a doorknob, I decided it was time to find someone that actually cared about the animals and treated people like people.  After our first visit with Dr. Perkins and staff, I knew I made the right choice.  Everyone at this clinic is extremely friendly and helpful.  Dr. Perkins always lays out our options without pressuring us and  always gives us her advice.  People have to remember that they call it a "practice" for a reason.  It is not an exact science.  Sometimes, all you can do is try and hope for the best based on the data you have at the moment.  I think Dr. Perkins is wonderful and we will continue going here for as long as we are in Broomfield.

OK let me start by saying we have a Weimaraner, not just one actually, but two!  Which means our life is generally pretty crazy.  We've had so many veterinary emergencies in our time!  We've had a surgery because one ate a river rock and the other ate the bone of some unidentified animal.  You'd think we'd be used to it all by now.We're new to Colorado and really hadn't identified a local veterinarian just yet.  Nor had we identified where the closest emergency vet is.  You'd think we'd have done that as soon as we moved here.A few weeks ago, I glanced out the window into the backyard only to see my dog gagging and choking frantically.  I rushed outside to see if I could clear whatever was causing the problem.  He was, well lets just say, not cooperative.  In the melee, he accidently bit down on my hand and pierced me quite deeply.  With blood pouring from my hand and my dog seemingly chocking to death, my wife and I grabbed him up and put him in the car.  We rushed to BVC because it is just a mile from the house.  At this point we're pretty sure he is dying and we are just hoping to make it there beforehand.  My wife, in an almost hysterical state, calls the clinic and tells them we are minutes away.  We rush in the door with the dog and immediately they grab him and take him back.  No questions asked.  They quickly were able to locate the culprit; a small stick wedged in the back of his mouth and removed it.  Immediately he is happy and even my wife calmed down.  Happy ending to the story.What impressed me was the fact that our pets best interest was first and foremost in the clinics mind.  No time for names, addresses, phone numbers, medical history, blah, blah, blah.  No time for a quote.  Let's just try to keep him alive.  I should also point out that they were actually about to close and were in the middle of a surgery at the time.  The vet continued the surgery while her extremely capable RVT's assisted us.  When finished, they brought out our dog, with the culprit stick in a bag, they cleaned and bandaged my hand and were about to send us off on our way.  I insisted they charge us SOMETHING for the effort.  They did, but it was a nominal fee.Reading some of the comments here I can only say that this clinic certainly did not attempt to capitalize on my misfortune.  Their only concern was for the health of my animal.  This is an indication of the culture and ethics of this clinic.  That should be reason enough to come here.  I hope you do!

It has been an absolute pleasure taking my foster pup here as they helped to prepare him for relocation. Dr. Perkin and her staff have been nothing but helpful in ensuring he has all of his paperwork, tests run and shots taken care of. They were very diligent in following the checklist I provided. While at the vet, most pets are anxious and scared but they helped to ease that anxiety with constant treats and of course, belly rubs. I highly recommend taking your pets here as Dr. Perkin and her staff are very genuine, helpful, knowledgeable, and only have your pets' needs in mind. Read Less

I have been taking my dog here for over a year- I am now switching to another vet recommended by a family member in Broomfield. Each time I arrive for an appointment, I ALWAYS have had to wait at least around 15 minutes. Normally, this isn't a big deal for me but my dog is highly anxious at the vet and paces back and forth and cries. To sit in the waiting room every time when I have an appointment seems excessive to me. I know that sometimes things happen and get backed up, but this was a consistent experience for me. On a few occasions, I've also received frustrating pet care. My dog came in because of something going on with the eye. Dr. Perkin diagnosed it as an infection and gave me cream to put in the eyes. After a week or so of no change, we went back and Dr. Perkin said she just didn't see it before but that my dog had a scratch on her eye. I suppose I understand this can happen, but no break was given to me for the cost of the second appointment and the new eye treatment. On another occasion, my dog came in for a blood draw to check that the thyroid meds were at the right dose and also to get a refill of her thyroid medicine. Days later, I received a phone call saying that they forgot to send the blood to the university for the required tests so my dog would have to come back in to get it re-drawn. (Again, highly anxious dog and a horrible experience for her to have to do twice in a week) On top of that, I had to pay for a refill of the medicine without knowing if it would stay at the same dose because my dog would run out before the university test came back. Once my dog had its nails trimmed. They came out and the vet tech said they accidentally cut the quick. I asked if it would hurt my dog, and the vet tech replied "Oh, it already hurt it- but it should be fine now.." This place is not bad, really- it just seems that everything is always such a hassle. There was always something that went not quite right or as expected. Read Less

I brought my kitten here a week after he was adopted. The staff was extremely friendly and helped me get all the resources I need. Their building is clean and they schedule appointments so that you rarely have a wait.. They gave me a free check up since he was adopted from the Denver Dumb Friends League. I didn't know how to clip a cat's nails and they taught me how. My kitten had a cold so they gave me some medicine for him and showed me how to give it to him. They called 3-4 days later to check in and see how he was doing. They also sent me a card in the mail thanking me for choosing them.Their prices are great compared to past places I've been. They are always kind to the animals and seem very knowledgeable about their pets. I called the front desk with some questions and the lady was able to help me with all of them.They give you a detailed description of all the prices and are very open and honest with the cost of everything they are doing if you just ask for the prices. They are all very nice and seem like great people.Overall I will be staying with them for a long time. They earned my business for sure! Read Less

This is the Vet I've been looking for!I've been to several Vets and none compared to my experience with Dr. Perkin and her staff. My dog has allergies/ear infection problems and she spent 1.5 hours examining him (scraping his ears and looking under microscope, took his temp, listened to his heart, etc, cleaned his ears, showed me the proper way to clean them and educating me)! Her entire staff was very friendly, the exam room was really clean, great prices compared to some others in this area, and they got me in on the same day I called. I am sooo thankful for them!
