I have been looking for regular veterinarian since I moved to Colorado two years ago and, although I have taken my cats, Maddox and Moxie, to two or three other local places to get their shots and basic necessities, I have not been impressed. I have been treated like a moron novice by some veterinarians who don't know (or don't care) that I've had cats all my life and have dealt with their needs and various health issues since I was a very little girl. I have seen these veterinarians treat my cat like a piece of property, not a member of the family. And I've paid exorbitant prices, as well.When my cat Maddox needed a tooth extracted, I called several veterinarians for prices and appointments; the cost was daunting and many could not see him for week or more. But when he broke his tooth and was no longer eating at all, I knew he could not wait. I called Dr. Voelker at Heritage Park Veterinary Clinic because his office is just down the road from my home, and I was impressed with his Yelp reviews. He did not disappoint.I took Maddox to be looked at by Dr. Voelker yesterday afternoon after work. He saw the tooth was broken and scheduled me an appointment for first thing this morning, at 7AM before his first appointment. He was gentle but efficient when handling Maddox, and showed genuine concern for his health and well being. I was beyond grateful that he was willing to fit Maddox in and to come in so early on a Saturday, as well. He gave me a jar of baby food to take home with us after our appointment yesterday, and called me mid-morning for an update on Maddox's progress after his surgery. His price was also less than half of any of the prices I had been quoted before -- very reasonable.Dr. Voelker and his staff truly seemed to care about my cat, and to understand that pets are so much more than just an animal -- they're family. I was touched by his compassion and obvious care for living creatures that he showed. He also has an office cat who is Maddox's exact doppelganger -- just the kind of uncanny coincidence I can appreciate. I'm beyond pleased to have found this veterinary practice. They will be Maddox and Moxie's permanent pet care providers from now on. Thanks, Dr. Voelker and team! Read Less
