Academy Veterinary Hospital

Dr. Pasek has been a veterinarian for 30+ years, and in the last 4.5 years he's cared for my 4 dogs and seen my 6 foster dogs.

Long ago his clinic building was his home and clinic. Now his daughter, who grew up there, is also a vet. I hope she'll move to the Denver area and join his practice - papa will be retiring one of these days!

Employees are quick to learn the names of patients and their people, and it's obvious that they all love the animals that they care for.

My chief complaint is about coverage - Dr. Pasek is only scheduled to be in the clinic 4.5 days a week. And on Wednesdays, not a scheduled day for him, the office is open for business only a half day.

The only area of disagreement I have with him is about nutrition. I feel that important information is now coming out and is becoming available to the public as well as to practitioners. Old-time vets have spent so much time with the misinformation that used to be the only stuff available, they have trouble studying and taking in the new data.

Dr. Pasek has done good things for my dogs, and I'm happy to recommend him to anyone needing a general vet in the area.

Pros: Very experienced, very caring

Cons: Solo practice, no backup/emergency coverage
