    Dr. Amanda Romaneck is phenomenal - I would recommend her to anyone who has a pet with eye issues. Her level of care as well as her staff is fantastic. Front desk is also very polite. Overall pleasant experience in both visits.

    My dog had cancer and was treated by doctor Shuster and Dr Sowders with chemo and radiation. Yes, it’s expensive and yes, it’s not a place you exactly want to be all the time (get the pet insurance.) the staff from the reception area, to the techs to the doctors themselves were all so wonderful to go through this hard time in life with. They treated my dog like he was their own and were always very transparent, empathetic and fair to me. They squeezed me in last minute when treatments weren’t working, the doctors answered all my emails quickly and they all just helped a very bad process be a little less hard. I hope you never find yourself in the position to have any sort of medical treatment for your pet, but if you do, I would definitely recommend the VCA in aurora.

    VCA Aurora saved my girl, Halo. Halo had a very complex surgery. The staff was constantly keeping me in the loop and very patient with all of my questions. My family and I (& Halo) will forever be grateful to VCA for giving us our girl back 🤍 (picture of when we got to visit halo when she was in the ICU - Queen of the side eye always)

    Hands-down, the best place you could attend. We were told by one veterinarian that our dogs I need to be removed. I came here for a second opinion and they were phenomenal. My dogs eye is fine with a little bit of treatment and half the price tag of what it would cost To remove it. They got me in for an emergency appointment. Every follow up appointment I’ve been in and out within 30 minutes. Highly recommend.

    I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about VCA Aurora — they saved my cat’s life. Every single staff member we encountered was kind, caring, and deeply compassionate. From start to finish, we felt that our pet was in the very best hands. We were facing an emergency and couldn’t get into any other hospital within a two-hour radius. Despite being incredibly busy themselves, VCA Aurora went above and beyond to make accommodations and ensure our cat received the urgent care they needed. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything they do. I am forever grateful to the entire team at VCA Aurora for giving us more time with our beloved cat.
