Southern Colorado Veterinary Internal Medicine

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service. Very thorough and detailed explanations. Pleasant and very caring for our cat.

Experiencia fantástica: We were concerned that we were going to have to put down our sweet 12 year old Cockapoo. We weren’t happy with our regular vet, so we sought a second opinion. Dr. Van House did a thorough clinical examination and the minimal amount of testing (ultrasound, UA, bloodwork) to rule out cancer, stones, etc. In the end, it was a nasty UTI with lots of inflammation. A specific antibiotic that penetrates deeper into the bladder walls was prescribed along with an anti-inflammatory. Within 4 days she was acting like the dog we knew. I completely trusted their advice and I’m happy to report our dog is doing well! Very professional staff!

Experiencia fantástica: My dog came in for a mass on his throat, it’s a hard enough situation in the moment I think I might have given the people here the cold shoulder but I’m just dealing with the emotions that come with finding these things out. Reviewing his post exam paperwork has me in tears, it was noted “bright, alert, and friendly - LOVES attention and turkey” I’m so happy other people can see how sweet my boy is even if it was for a short time. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: I am so blessed that I found them and how wonderful they treated my babygirl. They were very kind and professional and truly did a wonderful job. The price we paid for the services they provided was amazing. So much more affordable than I thought it was going to be.

Experiencia fantástica: I appreciate Southern Colorado veterinary medicine - they are always courteous and professional and truly care for animals. They help you with your pet when your regular vet sends you to diagnose what can only be discerned there. Have worked with them as far back as 2004, and they fulfill their mission!

Experiencia fantástica: Consistent, top notch care and excellent communication. Such a caring, competent, and thorough team - they really take the time to listen, share expertise, answer questions, and ensure I’m comfortable with the way forward. My dog is in excellent hands here. Can’t recommend them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: Knowledgeable and understanding of our pets' situation. Didn't try and give us false hope but at the same time not no hope.

Experiencia fantástica: This facility is outstanding. Kind of pricey but the staff are amazing they are very professional, kind and willing to help. They made Samson and I feel like part of their family. My Samson was at ease with them and felt comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: We went for an oncology consultation. Our Chocolate Labrador Retriever had several cancerous tumors removed over the summer and fall. He had a tumor removed from his mouth which required removal of several teeth and about a quarter of his upper palate. We were seeking advice on follow-on treatments. We were offered two courses of action, quarterly screening or chemotherapy. We opted for screening. The Oncologist and Veterinarian Technician were polite and professional. They outlined the pros and cons of each treatment option.

Experiencia fantástica: Terrific experience at Southern Colorado! The atmosphere is calm and they quickly place you in a room to make the whole process as stress free as possible for my dog. Dr. Wood was patient, kind, and took the time to answer any and all questions. She was also very thorough and gave my pup the best care possible. When you are not sure what is wrong with your dog, it is scary, but Southern Colorado really helped ease anxiety and make sure my dog received the best care.

Experiencia fantástica: They were friendly, professional. They were sensitive to the fact I was in a near panic over my dog. They ran detailed testing to determine the best dietary strategies to get my Buddy feeling better. Dr Van House is just the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Good appointment with Dr. Keith. Friendly & knowledgeable. Very respectful and responsive. Quick to provide follow up. Update (3 weeks later): I can’t say enough good things about this practice! My 14 y.o. dog was diagnosed with diabetes by my primary vet in early November. Tried to manage it through my primary vet. It did not go well. Diabetes is a disease that is way beyond the scope of most primary/general vets! It takes someone who knows the disease and all of its quirks (there are many!). These guys know their stuff! We are still working on figuring out his insulin dose, but getting closer. The Internal Medicine department at SCVIM is beyond attentive! I get frequent check-in calls, even on Sundays! I even got one on Christmas Day. I have actually talked to a veterinarian more than once about how things are going. They have made adjustments to his insulin without me having to bring him into their office. Yes, my initial visit was expensive, but I have gotten more than my money’s worth from them since. Given how stressful figuring out diabetes is, the follow up/support they have provided us helps with my peace of mind. Hoping we find the right insulin dose soon (getting closer). In the meantime, I know I will have amazing support from SCVIM! Thank you so much!

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to Southern Colorado Veterinary Clinic by another clinic because my dog Luna has an internal organ tissue illness.

Experiencia fantástica: If you are in the unfortunate position to need their expertise and competence you will be in excellent hands. The compassion and care is beyond measure. All personnel, the front desk staff, vet technicians, nurses and veterinary doctors, were exceptional at the service they provided. Our dog needed surgery and the confidence in the competency of the veterinary staff instilled in us the ability to easily make the decision knowing he was in their hands. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: one of the best in Colorado. Staff is very knowledgable and caring given the sensitivity of the appointment.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Amelia Keith and her Vet Tech are very pleasant and professional. Very thorough exam and recommended a good process to care for my German Shepherd. Looking forward to next visit. They forwarded all pertinent information and treatment plan to my regular Vet. Many thanks.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had an urgent visit to your clinic and saw Dr. Garcia. She was friendly, professional, and showed genuine concern for my dog. Dr. Garcia took the time to listen to my concerns, explained different treatment options, and decided on the best course of action. She has followed up several times to check on my dog's progress. Dr. Garcia is a very caring veterinarian, and I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for or considering a new vet practice.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr McReynolds was so invested in my pup's care. He thoroughly explained his medical condition & home care with well-written instructions. His tech, May, went through all the billing with me & was really helpful through the whole process.

Experiencia fantástica: Southern Colorado veterinary clinic is beyond Five Star’s great customer service. The doctor spent quality time and made sure all my questions and concerns were answered. I didn’t feel like I was being rushed through my appointment. He carried about my fur baby just as much as I do highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Great service. The nurse and doctor were informative, and made the process of putting together a treatment plan for my dog quick and easy. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: My dog has a platelet disorder and has been seen by Dr Garcia multiple times the past year and a half. Dr. Garcia and the other staff are conscientious, caring and have a wealth of knowledge. I’m so happy we have this clinic available to us.

Experiencia negativa: First off the good. I've seen Dr. Keith in internal medicine several times for both our cat and dogs. She is great. Now the reason for two stars. I don't know what the heck is going on with support staff there. The customer service is outrageously bad. Dr. Keith had said I could call with follow-up questions to our cat's appointment. I talked directly to someone at front desk. I emailed the front desk. I left a message in voicemail for Dr. Keith's staff. And yet no one over the course of a week called me back, or got in touch with me through any type of channel. Absolutely atrocious customer service and support staff. Do better.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr McReynolds was fantastic and one of the most thoughtful, and insightful veterinarians we have ever met! His approach to our Goldendoodle’s issues was refreshing and extremely thorough. He conducted an ultrasound immediately, did blood tests, all without having to schedule them sometime downstream and provided us the results once they were completed. Another example of the way he conducts business, all focused on our dog and us. There is no question that we will continue to see him, as required, once we sort out what’s going on with our dog. I can’t say enough good things about Dr McReynolds, but if you need an internal medicine vet you only have one choice as far as I am concerned, Dr McReynolds!!

Experiencia fantástica: Despite learning that my pup has cancer- our visit could not have gone better- SCVIM made us feel comfortable and well cared for. The doctor explained everything in detail and she made sure I understood it all . We have a FU appointment with the surgeon soon and though I'm worried I know my pup will be in the best hands

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent specialty veterinarian; highly recommend. All estimates are provided before services are rendered. Staff members are kind and professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place. My dog was diagnosed with lymphoma 2 years ago and she’s still going strong thanks to the oncology team! Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you front desk for getting us the appointment for Badgey to see Michelle Hasiuk. Much appreciated.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent, compassionate and professional care for my kitty. Also, very efficient front desk and support services. I was told that this Vet service was the Gold Star of pet care. I agree.

Experiencia fantástica: We have had excellent and timely service from Dr. Sztukowski and the staff here. Our dog Bow was diagnosed with melanoma on his gums when he was 10.5 years old. After that, he needed chemotherapy and immunotherapy as well as various tests along the way. He lived another 3 years due to the exceptional support from Dr. Stu and the staff here.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing service! I have a healthy, energetic 1 year old cat that survived FIP thanks to SCVIM!

Experiencia negativa: Never in my life have I ever felt so much pressure to put my pup down as I did this last week. I felt like my pups care was driven by dollar signs and false reports. I decided to bring her home and to my surprise she’s eating just fine when I was told she wasn’t. She hasn’t thrown up once when I was told she was throwing up all liquids and foods. She hasn’t coughed up anything when I was told that’s what she was doing. She’s mobile when I was told she wasn’t. She’s using the bathroom normally when I was told she wasn’t. Thank God I listened to my pup and brought her home and didn’t cave to their countless obnoxious pushes to “humanely euthanize” her. $10,000 in care and I now wondering how much of On me it was necessary. We feel like we were lied to. The prices for care were absurd and ridiculous. $176 bucks for oxygen each day mind you it’s nothing significant it’s like turning on a cpap machine. $97 bucks for 0.7 mg of Carprofen (only one dose was given to her) when I can order 100 mg and 100 tablets from chewy.com for $31.20. She only needs 2mg per pound. My 5 lbs dog needs to 10 mg. They legitimately increase their prices 100 fold if not more. I wonder how many other things on the 25 pages of the invoice are inflated beyond what’s ethical or what is on there that’s not needed. Then the front office staff, my goodness RUDE and unprofessional come to mind. The tone of their voices, the belittling and pretentious behavior was outrageous. Listen, no one in those situations needs to have their sarcasm and demeanor spewed at them the way they so easily spit their venom. Honestly I pray no one has to come here. It’s a darn shame. The 24 hour hospital next to them are gems.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very friendly and informative. My dog, Kai, seemed very comfortable with the staff. Dr. Van House explained the ultrasound results thoroughly and answered all of our questions.

Experiencia fantástica: Our dog gets the best care and treatment and he feels comfortable going there. The staff and doctors are friendly, knowledgeable and explain the test results thoroughly and what the next steps are for treatment/care. I would highly recommend them to others.

Experiencia negativa: Highly disappointed in the care we received from oncology here. After trying to find the best options to treat my Charlie with metastatic cancer we decided to continue his treatment here following diagnosis and start of oral chemo in another state. Ultimately on my sweet Charlie’s 2nd round of IV chemo he went downhill pretty quickly. He was administered chemo Thursday and we were told everything was looking great. Unfortunately his loss of appetite Friday didn’t seem too concerning as we had dealt with this before. The team refilled his anti nausea meds to in anticipation of this. By Saturday night he began pooping blood pretty uncontrollably. We took him to the ER connected to the building and kept him there until Monday awaiting the onc team to give us their opinions on his care. His ICU team agreed with this plan to keep him until his treatment team could assess him and give us their advice. I had reached out Saturday via text updating them about his decline and informing them we were heading to the ER. Unfortunately by that Monday morning I was informed Dr. Stu wouldn’t be in and as they hadn’t been able to control the bleeding all weekend and my poor baby was dying in that ICU with very minimal attention being paid to him we made the decision to bring him home to say goodbye. This was ultimately the best decision as he was barley able to walk and could not even keep water down. After all of that I assumed we would hear from his treating oncology team immediately on Tuesday when they were back at work. By lunch when we hadn’t heard I called and left a voicemail the vet tech returned, however I didn’t receive a call back from Dr. Stu until 6pm Tuesday night, more than 24 hours after we had to say goodbye to Charlie. I still haven’t gotten any explanation about what happened but I suppose nothing can take back the events of that weekend. It makes me sick to think about those days and all the trust, money and care I put into my Charlie’s treatment for his oncology team to leave us abandoned in a medical crisis following their administration of chemo. I tried to do my best research and find the best team for my Charlie and I think it’s important people know this is how we were treated after investing so much in his care and treatment. Edit after their response: Their team was not there for us that Monday as Charlie was dying and we were left entirely abandoned. Disappointed that they would lie about this. As I stated I called their office first and actually called twice attempting to speak to Dr. Stu. They did not reach out to me first. After missing her twice I was upset and sick with the treatment team to follow up again

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very kind and knowledgeable. We discussed the course of treatment and i feel they listened to all my concerns and input.

Experiencia fantástica: These people operate at a level of excellence that exceeds some doctors offices that I have visited. As for the price quality medical care is not cheap. I believe you get what you pay for at this vet at this vet clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: I have taken 2 of my creatures to SCVIM and received exemplary care. The staff are clearly committed to treating pets with the love and care that a family member deserves.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely the best team of people! My fur baby actually loves coming, even though he went through a major cancer surgery, and rounds of chemotherapy. He recently graduated from his chemotherapy, And now we were just doing routine check ups, but I can’t think the team at Southern Colorado, veterinary internal medicine, for their loving, caring and state of the art medical care.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Garcia saved my French Bulldog’s life. She was seen by 2 other vets before being referred to SCVC. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Dr. Garcia did all she could for our Ruby and today she is thriving! So thankful for this veterinary clinic!

Experiencia fantástica: Been a client for over 10 years and 6 dog’s lives. They have treated cancers to diabetes successfully with nutrition, drug therapy and knowledge. This round for my current shitzue who gets recurring bladder stones, they were booked out a week to see her. Thankful to regular vet getting her in for abx to treat uti. Front desk handled the issue very well working my dog into a cancellation slot in order to get ultrasound done for pre surgery records. Now they doing the same for the hydropulsion surgery.

Experiencia positiva: The staff are friendly and Dr. Garcia is very helpful with our pet. Quick to respond to questions.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a referral from my primary vet for my dog to be seen at SCVIM for possible kidney problems and further diagnostics. The entire staff at SCVIM was extremely kind and courteous. Dr. Bangert was very knowledgeable and showed that she really cares about her patients. Prices are also comparable to other places. I highly recommend this vet clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place, they were so good with our Shiba when she had a life threatening condition. They were very compassionate, explained everything well, and made our pup feel very comfortable, safe, and loved.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Keith was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, caring, professional, and extremely thorough. We have great confidence in her and will be taking our dog back to her for further treatment. All of the staff were very friendly and made us feel comfortable and welcome.

Experiencia fantástica: My cat was transferred to the service after he was stabilized by the ER. They took their time to explain to me what they believed was going on. Offered extra screenings to rule out any other issues. My cat is home recovering well and actually making a meow sound for the first time in a year. I’m so grateful. Staff was very friendly and professional. Communication was timely and clear. The facility itself was clean comfortable and easy to navigate.

Experiencia fantástica: We had to admit our dog and in the end say goodbye to her. The staff, particularly Dr. McReynolds was so kind. He over explained everything and did not pressure us one way or the other through the whole time. He gave us information and let us make our own decisions. He was prompt with his phone calls and was there when we needed. Afterwards he sent a personalized card to us that meant so much.

Experiencia negativa: They were good at first and helped my dog with his diabetes diagnosis in the beginning after paying $6000+. When they first sent me home with him, they gave me the wrong insulin dosage for him - told me he only needed one unit when he needed TEN units. Even my paperwork had 1 unit on it so it was an apparent typo. I let this go as I know accidents can happen. However, after less than a month, they stopped being proactive and reaching out to me about my dog. I would call/text and sometimes not get a response. We would show up to the office to let them know if my dog was having issues and they would say the vet would reach out but they never did. I will be looking for a new vet that hopefully will care about my dog going forward.

Experiencia fantástica: 8-28 updates AGAIN always THE BEST....Amazing as always. They are caring, compassionate, knowledgable and have a common sense approach to care. We love them. They gave one of our girls 4 years after cancer treatment and this weekend I have no doubt they let our little Lola live on. Thank you to everyone on the team. A special shoutout to Shannon too! Lola loved Shannon from the moment she met her. And when she was that scared that says a lot!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is friendly and helpful. Dr. Beck has been taking care of Fifi since her diagnosis and we have a nice working relationship with Fifi. I will miss working with him but sending good wishes for his next chapter.

Experiencia fantástica: DR Alicia was very thorough in looking at "Ariel's" protein issues. Lots of detail in her analysis.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone on my pets team and supporting staff are just wonderful. They’re very patient with our many questions and always so excited to see our sweet pup. They made a difficult situation easier with their love and never ending hard work to keep our pup healthy.

Experiencia fantástica: Really great care of our Tamaskan Wolfdog Teyla. She passed late last year and I held off for a long time to do this. We she first was discovered with cancer and lost her leg vets told us she wouldn't survive long. These guys did so much to help her and gave our family so much more quality time with her. The staff was always friendly, understanding, and caring. Spaces were always clean too. Teyla was my first dog and did so much for me. It was nice to have a vet that was honest and helped her. They warned us of the risks every step of the way. Thank you to everyone there who helped her.

Experiencia fantástica: Professional, compassionate highly knowledgeable veterinarians and nursing staff. They saved my acutely ill older dog's life. I recommend thus practice 100% and will spread the word to the local vets in my small rural community.

Experiencia positiva: The doctors and technicians have been wonderful to my pup and I as we underwent the AUL diagnosis and euthanization after we tried everything. My one complaint is to not offer the dog hair removal at the clinic and pay to have the hair removed by the crematorium. It wasn't in the bag with his urn when I picked it up and went back in to get it. I was told it may have gone home with a different family but I found out today they forgot to do it entirely. My grief has already consumed me and this just made my heart sink even deeper. Please, please, please don't let this happen to another grieving pet parent.

Experiencia fantástica: An excellent experience with Internal Medicine. Dr Keith, Techs Michelle and Heather, and reception staff are exceptional. Reception kindly kept in contact for appt cancellation list and got me in 1 month early, techs promptly answered emails and tel calls before and after appt, and Dr Keith always kind, patient, explains illness, and thoughtfully answers questions. In his senior years (age 14 w/ Cushings), Davey (NMDR fka Mr Noodle) is in good hands. This vet team are my heros!

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and friendly staff. Doctor provided ample time, excellent knowledge and a well thought out treatment plan. We are very pleased.

Experiencia fantástica: They have treated two of my dogs over the last couple years and they are great. Extremely caring and very good at working with both reality and emotions

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Chris McReynolds is the absolute best specialist my kitty Jolene has ever seen for her GI issues. I have never had a vet listen so intently to my inputs and take them seriously. He clearly cares so much about our sweet chonker and that is priceless. He also is just a great doc and incredibly smart and logical and detail oriented. Thank you for being awesome Dr. McReynolds!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. R M was outstanding. He found a potential cancerous tumor in Mysty's lung by comparing to previous 6 months ago chest x-ray. Scheduled for CTScan to find out what the growth is.

Experiencia negativa: I'm writing this review to warn other cat owners about unnecessary procedures and concerning practices I experienced with Dr. Amelia Keith at Southern Colorado Veterinary Internal Medicine. What should have been treatment for my cat’s sudden acute vomiting turned into high-pressure sales tactics for expensive, potentially dangerous procedures. What Happened: My cat developed vomiting after 9 days on UTI antibiotics. When I brought her in, Dr. Keith proposed a treatment plan costing $4,700-$9,000 that included multiple unnecessary procedures for a dehydrated, vomiting cat. Major Red Flags: Inconsistent Testing Approach • Initially Dr Keith said she'd test for pancreatitis and urinalysis • Actually tested kidney values and potassium instead • Changed antibiotics without proper testing • Later insisted on the same tests she previously said weren't needed • When I asked if test results would change treatment, she admitted they wouldn't Inappropriate Procedure Recommendations: • Wanted to surgically insert a feeding tube into a cat vomiting every few hours. When I asked what happens if a cat with a feeding tube vomits, she admitted it could become dislodged - a potentially fatal complication. • Recommended endoscopy requiring anesthesia on an extremely dehydrated, vomiting cat instead of addressing the acute symptoms first. High-Pressure Hospitalization Tactics: • Insisted on mandatory overnight hospitalization for "several days" • Refused day-only hospitalization despite my ability to provide home care • Used fear tactics: "If you don't hospitalize RIGHT NOW, we can't help later without expensive ER visit" • Became visibly upset when I questioned the necessity The Reality: When I insisted we focus on the immediate issues (dehydration and vomiting) rather than all the expensive procedures, we settled on subcutaneous fluids and Cerenia injections. My cat recovered completely within 36 hours at home - no surgery, no hospitalization, no feeding tube out the side of my her neck. The symptoms that supposedly required $4,700-$9,000 in procedures resolved with home supportive care (Attached it their estimate for what they wanted to do). After my cat's successful recovery, I sought a second opinion about all the other procedures that had been recommended. Unprofessional Response to Second Opinion: When I informed them of my second opinion, they called to say they would no longer treat my cat and refused to provide me with her prescriptions. When I asked, "Are you saying you don't want to treat my cat because I got a second opinion?" the staff member said "I didn't want to put it that way, but..." - essentially confirming they were retaliating for me seeking another opinion. Bottom Line: Dr Keith appeared more focused on maximizing revenue than providing appropriate care. The dangerous procedures recommended for my acutely ill cat, combined with high-pressure tactics and retaliation for seeking a second opinion, suggest this practice prioritizes profit over patient welfare. I would seek care elsewhere. At least, I'd get a second opinion before agreeing to any expensive procedures, and be prepared for potential retaliation for doing so.

Experiencia fantástica: They practice good medicine here. Got some very sad news about my cat, but am beyond impressed with the knowledge these vets and techs have. We are almost done with diagnostics and I’m confident an excellent treatment plan will be made soon.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at the office is amazing! They explained our dog's condition, options and prices for treatments. The doctor and staff were very helpful, kind and understanding. They treated us as if we had been long time clients on our very first visit. I would recommend highly!

Experiencia fantástica: My dog has hated the vet his entire life, he shakes and cries anytime he has to go, but not here. Ever since we have been coming here he actually gets excited to come inside. The techs know his name and he’s happy to see everyone. Everyone here is kind and takes care to make sure you understand your options and exactly what is happening with your pet’s health. Your pets are loved here. Can’t recommend them enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a very sick dog that was seen here. He had to spend a couple of days in puppy ICU. Dr. McReynolds was so caring and honest about my dogs situation. Every person I interacted with was so caring and I know that my dog was will taken care of during his stay there. I appreciate the upfront nature of the costs. I hope the no one finds themselves in the situation I was in, but if you do, I highly recommend this clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly highly recommend your clinic to all dog owners!! During our visit, your saff was very kind, caring, professional and attentively listened to all my questions and concerns pertaining to my dog's health. We and our dog Zeus thank all of so very much...ruff, ruff, ruff!!

Experiencia fantástica: Been using this veterinary clinic for 20 years with various pets. It is exceptional. Everyone there is an expert in their field, but also has an attention to detail, are compassionate, considerate, and caring.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Miles had clearly reviewed outside records in detail prior to the visit, so an appropriate and well explained plan for care could be devised. Was very clear leased with his attention to detail and the care he took in explaining considerations that went into developing a plan for care.

Experiencia fantástica: I have a large k9 with special needs. They have worked with him his whole life. They understand his conditions and work with his limitations. Their reports a detailed and easily understandable.

Experiencia fantástica: So far we've had multiple appointments to figure out what is going on with our six year old GSD (7 in July). We have found out that he has renal carcinoma and we went forward with having a CT scan and we now have a surgery consult on Tuesday. So far we have been very appreciative of the kindness and competency of all of the doctors, nurses and staff. We are confident that we are getting the best possible treatment for our boy as we can, and we would highly recommend them to others. Edit to add: We have had such great experiences in having our GSD Hank diagnosed and treated for renal carcinoma here. We had an ultrasound, X-rays, and a CT scan done, blood and urine tests too. We felt VERY confident after meeting with Dr Morgan for the pre-surgery consult and she did a fantastic job in removing the affected kidney and tumor. The whole staff took very good care of him while he was there. We are now seeing Dr Stu for chemotherapy and she has been simply fantastic also. Both doctors have been very professional and are well experienced, yet personable and easy to talk to. They don't sugar coat anything, but they presented the facts in a manner that allowed for us to feel we were not being pressured towards any particular form of treatment or direction. They enabled us to make the best informed decisions we could for our family. All of the nurses we've encountered in our many visits to date have been wonderful, too. They're kind to the animals there and put us at ease with their confidence and friendly mannerisms. Even the receptionist staff has been great. In calling to make appointments, or to ask questions, and in paying attention checkout. Our Hank's personality undergoes a transformation when we arrive at the clinic. He gets a bit over the top in his exuberance from anxiety and excitement. He gets loud and he can drag us and the nurses around a little bit in all of this. I know he scares some people because of this and his size combined. But never once have we been made to feel like we are irritating to the staff there because of this. They're always good at making us feel welcome. We wholeheartedly would recommend anyone to Southern Colorado Veterinary Internal Medicine and Oncology for all of these reasons. They're simply outstanding!

Experiencia fantástica: Having a sick or injured dog that you love is one of the hardest things to face. To be able to go to a clinic where the doctor and nurses will sit and listen and thoroughly explain everything to you is so helpful when you are going through difficult times with your pets. This clinic is EXACTLY that. Our nurse Cassie and Mae (sp?) were absolutely wonderful. Both thoroughly explained the medications that they were sending me home with to give to my dog and went over the correct dosage and what to do and or not to do. Dr Van House was wonderful. She sat and went over everything with me and thoroughly explained the process of what was going to take place. I love that they are not only upfront and honest with what we are facing but they are very compassionate. You can see everyone in that office truly cares for pets and their owners that walk into their clinic. I would highly recommend their clinic to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: They were very professional. Tried to keep me at ease. I can't stand to see critters hurt or scared. They're very good at what they do. They explained everything to me and were very caring of my pup. I would recommend them to anyone. Thankyou for your help with Nayvin.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly, professional, caring staff. Explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Vet came and talked with us after the procedure and then sent us a copy of the clinic note. This was much appreciated,

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Keira Sztukowski was wonderful and informative. She explained where we were in our dog's cancer process and provided us all the options to move forward. This included a cost scale with the pros and cons for each option. The best part is she told us that our dog's quality of life was her first priority. Knowing that her recommendations would be in our dog's best interest and not just because we weren't ready to say goodbye was a huge relief. Once the chosen procedure was done she thoroughly explained what the testing told her and what it means for our dog. We are still waiting for some results and options to move forward. I trust her to give us honest continuing information and recommendations.

Experiencia fantástica: We checked into the ER with our dog at 3:15 am. He was stabilized, tested, diagnosed, and in surgery less than 12 hours later with a gallbladder about to burst.. Doctors and staff talked to us on a daily basis. We were able to spend cuddle time each day with our pet (in a soft blanket). Followup was outstanding - adjusting meds, adapting diet, sitting down on a Saturday afternoon to answer a few more questions. And even....two cups freshly brewed coffee hand delivered while we waited in that small examining room that first stressful night. Bravo to the entire Southern Colorado staff!

Experiencia fantástica: The vets were so knowledgeable, understanding, and friendly. They took the time to visit with us and our dog. They really care about the pets and the owners.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr McReynolds is one of the most impressive I've ever met! He was thorough, informative, professional and exceedingly knowledgeable! He knows how to communicate in ways that all can understand. I am so grateful that our regular vet referred us to him.

Experiencia fantástica: This is 2nd time in 3.5 years you’ve given Smokey 2 of his 9 lives back to him because of your thorough care, attention to detail, & consideration of the outcomes for each diagnoses & treatment path. On the human side, the daily follow-up calls with Dr. McReynolds are invaluable, not to mention how easy & comforting it was to visit Smokey while he’s being cared for. Your visitation rooms are the best, as are the staff’s ability to accommodate even the pickiest cats’ eating & potty requirements. Every update was full of vital information on his eating, elimination, levels being monitored & status, & his disposition. We recognize the work, kindness, documentation & care you put into our entire experience, whether from daily budget updates (thank you Heather) or the ICU staff that were clearly adored by Smokey during his traumatic event. Thank you to Victoria on night duty - I wish I could remember all your names & please know we appreciate you all and your efforts in our community & doing what’s best for our furry family members. We are fortunate to have such consummate professionals here in COS, & I admit that I wish healthcare for humans was this completely thought out & easy to navigate.

Experiencia fantástica: Scamp was scheduled with Oncology for Friday, May 16. I was called back almost immediately for an opportunity to be seen on Monday, May 12, because of a cancellation. Scamp was seen by Dr. Beck Mayland. He explained lymphoma, treatments, and answered all of my questions. He emailed a comprehensive clinical summary, and called me on Wed with the cytology results, and ensured I understood the treatment plan going forward. I am very appreciative of the staff and care. Thank you very much.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best internal medicine facility for animals that I have ever had the privilege of frequenting. My service dog, recently retired, was having liver issues. There's no greater fear to an owner than losing your dog early. Once I got to this Hospital they were super kind and loving with my dog. The ultrasound covered multiple organs and they showed me each image and explained them. Needless to say my service dog is doing much better. I have a great veterinarian where I live and they referred me to Southern Colorado Veterinary Internal Medicine and Oncology. The ER here has also seen my dog. They have taken amazing care of her and she's doing much better. Many kudos and a massive thank you to the outstanding staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Doctor Keith took as much time as needed to explain in detail my pet's diagnosis, and answered all my questions thoroughly. She followed up with prescriptions, and detailed instructions. Follow-up emails were prompt and she offered her assistance anytime.

Experiencia fantástica: Colorado Springs is so lucky to have this clinic and Dr Stu. She has made our pup and our life so happy. She is super smart and kind.

Experiencia fantástica: There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude and positive experience at Southern Colorado Veterinary Internal Medicine! Dr.Stu and her team of techs in oncology were supportive, patient, kind, and treated my dog with so much love. The medical guidance was so helpful during a very challenging time. Communication was great and fully trust the incredible team here!

Experiencia fantástica: Our dog, Boomer, has a complex medical condition that has been a challenge to manage. Dr. Miles and his team have been INCREDIBLE! Dr. Miles listens to all of our concerns and thoroughly answers all of our questions. He is gentle and caring with our pup. Before our first meeting, he took the time to thoroughly review Boomer's extensive medical record and spotted some things no one had spotted before. We drive from Vail to see Dr. Miles and will continue to do so. We can't say enough good things about Dr. Miles and everyone at the clinic.

Experiencia fantástica: SCVM is amazing. They saved my 10 year old cat’s life & I trust them wholeheartedly. They always have the animals best interest and they’re so kind and compassionate. Doctor Bangert is our hero and we love her dearly for how much she’s helped us over the last year and change with our boy Tucker. She preformed a lung lobectomy on him, and while I was very nervous, her and her team were incredible with how caring, knowledgeable and reassuring they were/are. They updated me every step of the way and kept in great contact. I never felt like I had to be the one to reach out to get answers. She went above and beyond to figure out what was going on with Tucker, and how to continue his care. She also always asks about how me and my family are doing, including our other pets, and chats with us. I never feel like I’m being rushed out of there. Everyone from the front desk staff to the techs and doctors are absolutely wonderful. & not that this part is a make or break, but I always thought it was so nice and thoughtful that they have snacks and drinks for you while you wait. 11/10 recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been taking my dogs here since I moved here 7 years ago. I trust them with my dog’s health and well being. I have multiple dogs and some with complex health issues. My most recent visit was with my little pom who has severe collapsed trachea. She was on deaths door 5 yrs ago but with medication she is doing well and stable. She’s not a good candidate for surgery so each day is a blessing. I also have a dog who had pancreatitis & anemia and with treatment she’s doing great. Without the help of Dr McReynolds I would have lost her years ago. The staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve literally never had a bad experience here. Dogs live a short life so it’s important to me to keep them healthy for as long as possible so we can enjoy life together.

Experiencia fantástica: Let me start by saying I’m not a person who normally writes reviews, but I am someone who relies heavily on reviews before I give a place both my business and my trust. My dog, chance, has been seen here for 20+ visits over the course of about a year and a half after he was diagnosed with IMHA. Initially he was a perfectly healthy boy and he started acting very lethargic one day. He was taken to another emergency vet in the springs and we were devastated when the vet told us that we may have to euthanize due to how low his red blood cell count was from the disease. After a blood transfusion he was transferred from the emergency vet to SCVIM. The doctors are staff here assured us that imha was treatable and they have good results with the treatments. My wife and I went on an emotional roller coaster ride from a very COLD hearted ER clinic that basically told us his survival was unlikely to SCVIM staff who were extremely empathetic and professional. We had another emergency visit about 6 months to the Animal ER care facility that is attached to SCVIM. We were AGAIN were told our little doggo may have to be euthanized due to a possibility of liver failure or cancer. We were advised to immediately do imaging (ultrasound of liver and stomach) and biopsies to test. We paid over 2,000 dollars for this emergency visit for them to tell us he might just have a tooth infection… maybe it’s Standard operating procedure for emergency vets to tell you your dog is going to die and then they milk you for money with expensive procedures? Our experience at the animal Er Care is. 2/5 Our experience at SCVIM with Dr. McReynolds and all the nurses and staff is 5/5. Dr. McReynolds is a true professional in his field. He has an extremely methodical approach with any and all procedures with an unparalleled attentional to detail for your pup. He doesn’t recommend any bs expensive procedures you don’t need and he even recommends other avenues that can potentially save you money on prescriptions and procedures. I cannot express how grateful I am to have met the team at SCVIM. I trust them wholeheartedly with my little fur baby’s care.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sztukowski's examination or our fur-baby was very thorough, professional and expedient. She was also quick to follow up with lab results.

Experiencia fantástica: To Dr.Chris McReynolds, internal medicine for animals, Colorado Springs, CO. Thank you so much for the difference you make in the lives of your patients. Your kindness, caring and concern make everything better! Thank you so much for taking good care of Emma, my basset hound!

Experiencia fantástica: Our dog was promptly and thoroughly examined by the team. Dr. Van House notfied me during and after the visit and gave a detailed report and recommendations.

Experiencia fantástica: A very wonderful and professional staff, they cared for my Moses as if he was their own. They explained everything in depth and gave me flexible options for his care. They commit their time to make sure our pets are loved and cared for!

Experiencia fantástica: I can't say enough positive things about Dr. McReynolds and his incredible team at Southern Colorado Veterinary Internal Medicine. After countless visits to other veterinarians where unnecessary tests were done, and no diagnosis was found, we were fortunate to find Dr. McReynolds. He and his team immediately stood out for their professionalism and genuine care. They went out of their way to ensure they only performed the most necessary procedures, taking into account everything we had already been through. Thanks to their expertise, they were able to save our 5-year-old dog when we were starting to lose hope. I can confidently say that without Dr. McReynolds and his team, our dog wouldn’t be here today. If you're considering taking your pet here, don't hesitate—just do it. I’ve never met a more caring, compassionate veterinary team, and I’m so grateful for them!

Experiencia fantástica: We brought our critically ill dog, baby to the ER and internal medicine. The doctors and staff tried to save baby, but after three days, she had to be put down. Dr. Garcia was so caring as were the staff. They all went above and beyond and made our loss a little easier to deal with. They helped us place her remains in our truck for the ride back to Penrose. When I finished her final resting place, I opened the box and the had placed a blanket over baby and a toy under her paw. You guys are so caring to have done that. Thank you all and God bless you all!

Experiencia fantástica: My little doggie has been seeing Dr. McReynolds for quite a while now with a chronic disease. I'm so thankful for Dr. McReynolds as you can tell he really cares about animals as he's so gentle and takes time to make sure they feel comfortable. He's professional, yet warm. His communication is stellar, and he always takes the time to explain things to me, which I really need. He is great about answering my many questions and I really feel like I'm involved and also welcomed into my pups care. So grateful for him.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff here are always welcoming and professional. They’ve taken great care of our pup and us! Highly recommend them and especially Dr McReynolds.

Experiencia fantástica: This clinic saved my dog's life! We got his lymphoma diagnosis in November and our vet said he only had a few months. He said chemo might give him a few more. We went to Southern Colorado without much hope, but they have been absolutely amazing from the first minute. Every conversation with Dr. Beck and the staff has been about Sam's comfort and quality of life in connection with giving him the best chance. Dr. Beck has emailed me back on a weekend evening to answer questions - amazing!!! Sam is now at the end of treatment, in remission, and feeling great! We know it's not forever, but he's happy and living his best life, and that's worth every penny!!

Experiencia fantástica: I was quickly greeted and my cat and I were escorted to a room; we weren't kept waiting! After my kit came back from her physical Dr. Beck and I had a lengthly discussion about her possible treatments. He was truly interested in her care which allowed me to be calm as I decided on the necessary treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: All the staff/doctors we interacted with were friendly and caring. I felt totally comfortable leaving my girl Pegasus there for some testing and confident that they’ll help us come up with the best plan for treatment!

Experiencia fantástica: The Veterinarians and all the Staff are so kind and caring especially in difficult times. Thank you for all you have done for my girl and her future treatments. Dr. Garcia is wonderful as well as all the Staff ----exceptional!!!

Experiencia fantástica: We have been going to SCVIM since October 2023 when our 1 year 4 month old schnoodle got very sick. She is now 2 years 7 months old and doing great. Dr. Miles and his staff have taken amazing care of Stella and shown us ongoing grace and kindness. We are there every 6 months or more, depending on how things are going for her. The staff always takes or returns our calls really fast and they are always patient. Dr. Miles, himself, calls us the day after our appointments to discuss lab results and review the plan going forward. We never feel rushed with anyone there. They genuinely show that they care for us and our little dogs.

Experiencia fantástica: Our little schnauzer, Dee Dee, received exceptional care from the entire team at SCVIM. The front desk staff is very accommodating and Dr. Van House, Dr. Bangert and their nursing associates are the best. We’re very thankful.
