Dirty, overpriced, and unknowledgeable
We took our dog for an annual cleaning. We were surprised that he supposedly had 5 abscessed teeth that they removed. Worst of all, his paws were crusted with feces when we picked him up. It was disgusting and made us so distressed to think what conditions they exposed him to.
Two days after the surgery he was shivering despite the house being warm. We took him back, they seemed nonchalant about the fact that he had a fever two days after surgery (and being exposed to filthy conditions, licking who knows what). They said they could send us home with an anti-nausea and appetite stimulant, or if we wanted more peace of mind, they could give him a $350 blood test. Since neither of those meds would address a fever, we asked them to do the blood test. Unsurprisingly , he had an infection. They tried to charge us a fee for the visit “for taking a slot” despite us having $600 worth of other charges for this visit alone. This happened on a Saturday, and they sent us home without the blood work even though they were clear that things might keep getting worse and we might need to seek emergency care. Unfortunately that is what happened, and the emergency vet couldn’t believe that they hadn’t provided us the blood work given the circumstances.
I spoke about all of this with the practice manager, Ashley and she was pretty flippant about and and seemed to not believe me about the feces on the paws. She promised me she would be consulting with the medical director and would follow up, but she never did and never returned my calls. They lost a patient of more than two years. Looking forward to going to a place where you actually know which vet will be providing care, and tremendously regret ever taking my pets here.
If you love your pets, do not put them at risk by taking them here. I would drive to Denver before putting him back in their dirty, uncaring hands. I’m filing a report with the state licensing board because I truly believe this practice represents a threat to the pets of our community.

BAC took such good care of my elderly little Sassy last week. She had reached the end of her journey and they helped her in such a kind and nurturing way. And they helped my son and I as well. Every one there is kind and loving and understanding. Then yesterday I received the sweetest condolence card signed by everyone at BAC. And it contained her beautiful little foot print.
Such kindness and thoughtfulness overwhelmed me. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart ♥️

Very expensive. They nickel and dime you to poverty. The new vet is not personable and caring about the pet like the old vets in the past who retired.

Under new ownership but still has the same lovely charm as before with Dr. Shook. Prices are still very competitive and the two new vets are very welcoming and transparent. Our favorite receptionists and techs are still there and are very open and upfront. I never felt taken advantage of or overcharged. I wish my German Shepard had a chance to meet the new vets because they actually give full physical exams while Dr. Shook didn't. But my other dog, Rosco, got a clean bill of health from Dr. Sullivan and I couldn't be happier.

My grandparents have been using Dr. Shook for a number of years now, and I finally decided to try him. I took my dog in and it was probably one of the best veterinarian experiences I've had. We talked for an entire hour about my dog, what do to, etc. He asked a ton of questions about my dog and, in turn, answered a lot of questions I had for him. He was nothing but kind, informative, and I plan on using him as my primary veterinarian from now on.
