Mesa Veterinary Hospital PC

I cant say enough good things about Dr. Horst and Dr. Batch!!! They are so knowledgeable and up to date. They truly care about everything. You can beat the trust you can have with these fantastic Doctors. I will forever be indebted to them for all they have done with all my k-​9 family members!

In a nutshell, we were needing to find a vet closer to our house. I found Mesa through Unilocal and was immediately impressed with their page and responses to reviews. When I walked in, the clinic was clean and the employees were friendly.
Our cat, Eddie, one of five animals, needed some vaccine updates. With that many animals who are like our children, it is important for us to connect with our vet and make sure we approach our pets health care on the same page. Plus we have pets with interesting health issues that include lupus, IBS, allergies, a cat on Prozac, etc., so we have kept previous vets on their toes.
When I met the tech and then Dr. Bub, I was very impressed with both. I told them I was essentially interviewing them and asked about their general approach to care. Dr. Bub was thoughtful, considerate and took time talking to me. Overall, I feel like he will give our pets and us great care.
I also appreciated that the tech took care of the payment in the room so that we didn’t have to wait at a front desk with other animals coming and going. Cats don’t really enjoy leaving the house so it was nice to keep Eddie’s stress levels as low as possible.
As another nice touch, we got a follow up call the day after his appointment to check on how he was doing from his vaccines and a card in the mail from Dr. Bub welcoming us to the clinic with a personal note about Eddie.

Mesa is such a special place! Never have I felt so warmly taken care of and filled with complete confidence in the care of my dogs. We are lucky to have never had an emergency with either of our dogs, but I am certain that Mesa would do anything and everything possible to save our babies. They’re some of the kindest and most intelligent doctors you’ll come across. I would highly recommend their care and services for any animal!

Love this vet! Everyone was very friendly & vets were very knowledgeable. My dog is pretty difficult & can be aggressive at the vet, but vets & technicians were wonderful with him. Will definitely return.

I have been taking my babies to Mesa and Dr. Nickerson for over 10 years. They are the kindest, most welcoming clinic I have ever been to. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any one that needs a competent, caring place for their pets.
There has never been a time (and a couple of my babies have/​had real issues) that I was not pleased and thankful for all of the Docs and staff here. YOU GUYS ROCK!

I give them no stars only because they did not know what they were doing when it came to our bulldog and they were going to let him die. They sedated him to take x-​rays and did not ask if he had eaten which he had so he choked under sedation and the Dr told me he needed an emergency trachiotomy. He was gasping for air for two hours so they stuck and English bulldog in an oxygen box at 78 degrees. He got a an abscess around his neck the size of a softball from re using the same hypodermic needle from several injections which some how got E coli. My dog is at another hospital at the moment because of them. Bad experience all around here. I would hope no on else has to ever go through this. And I went to them because I Unilocaled them and they had 4 stars.

Mesa has the appearance of a top notch veterinarian hospital. I’m sure they are qualified to take care of your pet. Be leery when they recommend all the extras like ultra sounds, blood test etc. There is no nice way to say it, Mesa will rip you off!

A friendly place with excellent care. I’ve taken my puppy twice over the last month for a regular check-​up and an eye exam after he acquired some pink eye. I really liked how friendly the staff was and the information they provided me during both visits. I’ve had two different vets and both were fantastic.

My boyfriend and I adopted a dog from Foothills Animal Shelter about a year ago and we were looking through the list of vets that offered the first free check up for adoptions. Mesa was one of the highest recommended and so we decided to give it a shot. Besides when we are out of town, we have not taken our dog anywhere else. The facility is clean and bright, the staff at the front desk are always courteous and prompt and the veterinarians are professional and knowledgeable. Our dog has severe anxiety in strange buildings so she is always a nervous wreck when we bring her in, which is unfortunate because she has multiple health issues that need to be addressed every few months. The staff handle her stress well and are patient which we really appreciate. They carry the hypoallergenic food we need and do not charge more than anywhere else you can find it. Overall we are very happy with our decision and our glad we have such a great facility less than 10 min from home.

We LOVE Dr. Christine Horst. When we first moved to Evergreen we were very apprehensive about finding a new vet. Our one dog, Gwen has a lot of issues. She has orthopedic issues and Lymphangiectasia. My boyfriend and I are very particular about how things get done with her. We tend to look up and read a lot, I have a science background and my boyfriend analyzes data, so we’re probably very annoying to some vets. Dr. Horst seems to be ok with the fact we ask a lot of questions and come in with our own ideas tests to run.
Dr. Horst calls us very quickly with test results, goes over them in depth on the phone. She also always calls back very fast if you call with a question.
Gwen had a pad injury in August 2013 and we did bandage changes with Dr. Horst every week up until around January. (Gwen heals very slowly).
The vet techs are also always very good with our animals.
We had our one dog Gilbert Dr. Rachwal once, and we did not care for him. Gilbert has scar tissue on his ears and they’re very very sensitive to the touch. He does not like his ears touched at all. We told Dr. Rachwal and he still handled his ears rough and Gilbert Unilocaled. This has never happened with another vet before. I’m sure he’s a good vet, just don’t care for the way Gilbert reacted with him.
We will continue to go here, but we will always see Dr. Horst.

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a crazy dog lady. My dog is pretty much the coolest little mutt to ever walk the Earth and I’m very particular about what he eats and the sort of care he receives. Mesa is about 15 – 20 miles away from my home but I can’t imagine taking him anywhere else, so I don’t. Every vet we’ve seen has been friendly, knowledgeable and informative. The office is always very clean and well-​kept and it’s easy to get in for an appointment. Oh, and last year I was able to get a discounted rate on his teeth cleaning procedure because of the specific month, I think it was February. I think that’s a great way to get people in to have their pet’s teeth cleaned. Even if I ended up moving to say, Castle Rock, I would still drive all the way to Mesa on the weekends for my dog’s check-​ups and shots.

We took our 8 week old Akita puppy to see Dr. Horst today and couldn’t have been happier! Very friendly doctor and staff. They made our Bear feel very comfortable and gave him lots of love and attention. I also like how they dispelled all the extra BS that we might have bought into regarding food supplements, etc. We are very happy that fellow Unilocaler’s helped us find Mesa Vet Hospital.

I’m going all the way for Mesa Veterinary Hospital. They are great vets, the reception area is always clean & spotless, and the exam rooms are also clean and roomy.
We had to take 1 of our cats in for an abcess on her head that, to us, popped up overnight on a weekend. I Unilocaled vets in our area and found Mesa. I made an appointment for the next evening (their hours are great too, open every day for at least a few hours, and until 8 on weekdays). When we arrived, there was virtually no wait in the exam room before Dr. Nickerson came in and listened to all of my details on what has been going on with Zoey recently. The Dr. diagosed the issue, gave us our options & estimates, and gave me time to consult my wife about how we wanted to proceed. She’s an older cat that was also recently diagnosed with Hyper-​Thyroidism. She has lost a lot of weight recently, rather quickly, so we were concerned that any sedation might be her undoing. They reassured us about the procedure, and booked it for the next day. Throughout the entire process, Mesa kept us up to date on how Zoey was doing and what the next steps were.
The result? Zoey had to have a drain put into the abcess for 5 days, but after that, she was her old self again from the moment we brought her home. Jumping up in my lap, purring like a Harley Davidson, and most of all demanding food and eating like a small horse. They also turned us onto a gel medicine to help her Hyper-​Thyroid that we can apply to her ears instead of having to force pills down her throat twice a day.
Yeah, an easy 5 stars.

My dog just had surgery – again. And again, the care we received is consistently top notch. I have been to vet hospitals in the past where they have a «wait and see» attitude about a lot of things. I would prefer that the doctors be honest with me about my pet, his health concerns and my options. Mesa Vet is ALWAYS honest with me, gives my dogs great care and really do the follow ups necessary to maintain good health for my pets.
Yes, they are on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for. I’d rather cut corners on other things and not the health of my two best friends.
My whole family has taken their pets to Mesa for generations. I will recommend them all day long. You can count on them. They always get me in when my babies have an emergency, too, even if they have to stay late. They care.

You will be completely delighted with everyone at Mesa Veterinary Hospital. We sure were. They helped us and our boy Raleigh, a Boxer from the time we moved to Denver when he was 10 through his ‘crossing worlds’ at age 12 just this past Friday. Dr Batch is a phenomenon.

We adopted our dog, Max, in March of this year. Mesa offered a free exam with the adoption from Foothills Animal Shelter. During all of our visits, we saw Dr. Bub. There was very little waiting, from the moment we walked in the door, shown the exam room, and dealing with testing (which you can’t help but to wait). Max had an issue with one of his eyes on that initial visit. We got the treatment for it and were on our way.
Fast forward a few months, and Max’s eye turned cloudy and then got bloodshot. Dr. Bub looked at his eye, and referred us to a veterinary ophthalmologist for a specialized opinion. In short, the second vet thought Max’s eye should be removed. Mesa came back with an estimate very quickly, and were able to fit us in for surgery on the next day. The surgery went well. Max was having some anxiety, so they kept him overnight for monitoring and charged the boarding fee (versus an outrageous monitoring fee I know another veterinary hospital would use), which was reasonable. We picked him up with his meds the next day.
I just had to call to get a refill for some of his meds (pain stuff) and there was no hassle in getting that taken care of, which I really appreciated. Max will be seeing more of Dr. Bub and the fantastic staff at this location to keep a close eye on his other eye. My cats will also come here when they are due for their shots.

Ive been going here for about 8 years and just recently found a vet that was not only more affordale, but told me my dog was overweight and was the cause for his recent knee injury. The entire time I was with MESA, they never mentioned anything about my dog being 10 lbs overweight…

I see that I’ve written many 5-​star reviews on Unilocal.I probably should have saved the 5 stars for unbelievably exceptional businesses like Mesa so that 5 stars really means something. It’s one thing to give 5 stars to a place I’ve visited once for a cup of coffee, but quite another when I’ve been 50+ times, and with such high stakes — the health of my beloved dog. From nail trims and med pick-​ups to emergency visits, I have never experienced anything other than excellence here.
If Unilocal allowed me only one 100-​star review, it would go to Mesa.
This past fall, we brought in our dog when she was in obvious pain on a Sunday and Dr. Nickerson working that day. She was incredible and very patient — so helpful for an anxious and worried mommy — when I know we weren’t the only ones there. The amazing thing is, the staff makes you feel as though you’re the only ones there.
I was in recently for a check-​up with our regular doc (Dr Smith) and bumped into Dr Nickerson 3 – 4 months after she saw us. She remembered my baby’s name. what we had been in for and asked about her issue. !!!
Last week, we had to bring our dog in to a local 24-​hour emergency clinic on the eve of a vacation for an ultrasound. Would have preferred Mesa but timing did not work out. Dr Smith was called for permission and called me first to see what was up. After a long conversation he told me he wanted the very best care for my sweet girl… that she was not only my dog but his as well and wanted to be thorough. This might come across funny in writing, but it was meant with such care and warmth, I knew I needed to update my review.
Every person that works here treats your pet like it’s their own… truly unbelievable. Each employee gives you all the time you need to ask questions and feel/​know that your pet is getting the best care possible. The doc’s always return calls and go above and beyond the highest expectations.
Stopped looking for a vet closer to home… we’re with Mesa for good.

We just moved into the area last week when my lab stopped eating and had sudden explosive bloody diarrhea. We were terrified and brought him in first thing in the morning. He was seen immediately and they started his treatment right away. The vet was in constant contact with me regarding his progress and decisions that had to be made.
He was back at home the next day happier and healthier than he’s ever been! The staff an environment are in a class beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.
In just 1 visit, I can say with confidence that they will be our vet for life! I only wish they treated people too :)

I love the staff. I love the techs. I love the veterinarians. The vets are about the premium food: Innova, Canidae; and don’t push on the crap like Iams and Science diet. The place is always so clean, and I never have to wait long. They are open to 8p on most days which is very convenient for me. And a lot of times have an opening the same day I call.
When I move out of this area, I will be upset to find another vet and will probably drive here because they do treat me, my cats and my dogs so well.
