I have been so impressed with the quality of care that I have experienced at Aspen Commons. Owning pets of various shapes and sizes for nearly fifteen years, I have seen my fair share of veterinarians over time, some irresponsible, some mediocre, and some quite good. Aspen Commons showed me that sometimes veterinarians can be phenomenal. I showed up very late to my first appointment, an exam for a couple of eight-week old kittens who I had received from my friends shed, filthy and ill-kempt. The products of a intact, unvaccinated queen in a community overrun by feral cats, the kittens already suffered from diarrhea and upper respiratory issues. Despite my tardiness, Dr. James and his staff took an hour and a half to fawn over my kittens, assure me that they would come out healthy, and vaccinate them. My feral kittens hissed plenty, but everyone in the office still cuddled and played with them without regard to the puncture wounds and scratches that their claws surely inflicted. At the end of our visit, Dr. James treated the exam like a shelter exam, only charging me for the vaccines and sending me with well-pet forms, outlining their physical condition in detail. A couple of weeks later I took one of the kittens in again when the cold that Dr. James asked me to keep an eye on began to worsen. After a full physical, Dr. James pressed a slide to Percys nose, looked at it under a microscope, determined the presence of white-cells, gave me an antibiotic, and demonstrated exactly how to administer it without patronization. Percy quickly recovered. Yesterday, my brother and I took his geriatric beagle to Aspen Commons in the hopes that we could make him comfortable before his passing tomorrow. His quality of life has deteriorated to the point where we need to say goodbye. Not only did Dr. James prescribe pain medication, he and his vet tech, Paul, examined him thoroughly, taking the time to assess his physical condition overall. When Little Arrow had an accidental BM on the table, Paul tracked down baby wipes and cleaned him up without a word. Dr. James personally gave us ointment to soothe Little Arrows ear infection for his last few days, saying that he hated to put money into a situation like ours. When I asked for a referral for an in-home euthanasia service, Dr. James volunteered to personally come to our house after Aspen Commons closes on Saturday. I am confident our Little Arrow will pass in peace. I am so thankful that Aspen Commons has taken such good care of all of our animals in the month and a half that I have depended on them. My only regret is that they wont be around for the rest of my animal loving years.

I fell on hardship when my dog ate a hamburger wrapper, the caring/amazing staff worked with me and my dog! They took great care of both of us. The vet and the techs took their time to make my fearful dog comfortable. My dog never likes vets and always shakes and cowers from other veterinarians, but at aspen commons she jumped up and gave the vet kisses! The Dr. is very knowledgeable and passionate about animal medicine and it shows! Such a compassionate and amazing team! When I graduate Bel Rea, I hope to work worth such Amazing, caring, and talented individuals! I love the fear free tactics they use, it is beyond compare to anywhere my dog and I have been! This was a truly refreshing vet visit in a very stressful time for me and my pup! Thank you so much Aspen Commons! You are amazing people! :) -Katie King

Withholding medicine, these people have NO compassion, no mercy. I have been going to this vet for over a year. My cat has hyperthyroidism and needs her prescription for Methimazole refilled. Aspen Commons Animal Hospital said I have to make an appointment to get the prescription refilled. I explained that we could not afford to make an appointment right now, we simply do not have the money right now. The people at Aspen Commons Animal Hospital did not care. I explained that we can barely afford the medicine, they do not care. I explained my cat will die without it, they do not care. I asked them for mercy, Aspen Commons Animal Hospital refused to help.

Dr. James has been our family vet for 8+ years now. Our dogs love him, and he loves them back. Staff is nice too, prices are pretty typical. It is a small and older office, but I think I prefer that to the new modern places where they have dozens of vets and you never establish a connection.

Weve been bringing our two dogs here ever since weve moved to the area over a year ago. The vet is great and the service staff is very polite and accommodating. The price is relatively cheap compared to other provides, especially Banfield, but the service is far and away much better.

I had my cats immunizations done here since it was close and it was pretty cheap. The animals there seemed very happy. From a person who has work experience at a vet a few years back, no not this place, I recommend this place for the care of your pets.
