We love the folks at Big Thompson. Dr. Wiltz and his staff are very kind, caring people. They have cared for our pups now for around 8 or 10 years and we could not be happier.

Dr Glick is patient, compassionate, and an extremely skilled veterinarian. She has taken the time and effort to really get to know my dog and plan the best course of treatment for him. I never feel rushed or flustered during my dog's visits, and I really appreciate having genuine conversations with her about his health and needs. Dr Glick is absolutely wonderful, and it is evident that this clinic truly cares about giving the best possible care to all of their patients!

I had taken my 3 dogs here one time previously and thought they were okay. Then yesterday's visit was horrible I would not recommend this place for your dogs. No info was given to me unless I asked. My dogs were taken out of the room and brought back about 15 minutes later and I was told that the vet Mickey would be in to speak with me. He arrives and tells me that all of my dogs are healthy and fine.
When I asked him certain questions pertaining to my dogs he simply stated that he did not check for this or that. This went on for 3 dogs. He had to actually look at my dogs for what I asked him to do. What were they doing with all of my dogs for 15 minutes while I sat in the room by myself? I don't think that he even examined my dogs. Then came a $500.00 bill. For what? What did he/they do for me and my dogs? If you care about your pets health and want a vet that listens to you and your concerns about your animal then this is not the place to take them to. The technician was great.

Awful place. rudest people I have ever talked too, I understand it's 8 in the morning but I had to get there just the same as you guys at the same time. Not to mention you made it so unnecessarily difficult for me to even schedule an appointment, and when difficulties arose, it was complete mistreatment from the staff. I had all of my paperwork, and they told me "I didn't need it, " but upon leaving on my way back home I get a call saying I need the exact paperwork that they told me I didn't need.
I brought my cat this time, but awhile back I brought my dog when she was still with us, but she had to get a rabies vaccine. Funny enough I was coming back to them three weeks later to pay for a cremation bill. It happened awhile ago but this place is not worth your time NOR money. 400 dollars for a spay? Don't waste ur time, I shouldn't have even came back. Unprofessional and suspicious.
