How we care for your pet

Why Cedar Creek

Why pet families choose us

1

Fear-free, low-stress visits

Gentle handling, quiet exam rooms, and plenty of treats. Nervous pets get extra time, never a rushed appointment.

2

Answers on the same visit

Our in-house lab and digital x-ray mean most results come back in minutes, not days, so treatment starts sooner.

3

Honest, upfront pricing

You get a written estimate before any treatment, and we walk you through every option so you can decide with confidence.

4

Room for emergencies

We hold urgent care slots every single day, because pets never check the calendar before they get sick.

The doctor behind the door

Dr. Elena Marsh, DVM, lead veterinarian at Cedar Creek Animal Hospital

Dr. Elena Marsh

Veterinarian, DVM · Practice Owner

Dr. Marsh has practiced small-animal medicine in the Denver metro for over 14 years and opened Cedar Creek to build the kind of clinic she always wanted for her own pets: unhurried appointments, honest conversations, and medicine that puts comfort first.

She has a special interest in dentistry and senior pet care, and shares her home with two rescue dogs and a very opinionated tabby named Biscuit.

What pet parents say

★★★★★Google

"My anxious rescue dog actually pulls me toward the door here. Dr. Marsh got down on the floor with him for the whole exam. Never seen anything like it."

"Our cat swallowed something on a Tuesday morning and they got us in that afternoon, x-rays and all. Clear pricing, no surprises on the bill."

Miguel S. · Golden

"They walked me through my senior lab's dental surgery step by step and called that evening to check on her. This clinic genuinely cares."

Dana W. · Wheat Ridge

Do you take pet insurance or offer payment plans?
We work with all major pet insurance providers and provide itemized invoices for easy claims. We also accept CareCredit and Scratchpay, so care never has to wait on a paycheck.
