If you need dental work for your dog- go here! I was referred to them by my primary for a root canal due to a dead canine tooth. They were able to get me in quickly, and were able to do my consult and procedure same day. They took care to go over everything before the procedure, and I received contestant text messages during his care to keep me updated- never did I have to call ONCE, I always knew what was going on (and that is so, so appreciated). They also took great care not to shave my poodles coat for IV, which to me was above and beyond. Over all, 10/10 experience, if my animals ever need dental work again I will absolutely come here. Friendly staff, wonderful doctors and nurses, and a really nice facility.

They won't tell you their prices for any services unless you first pay $180 for a consultation.

oh my gosh!!! GO HERE!!! if you have dental/oral surgery needs, this is the place you want to take your pet. I saw Dr. Steffes and one of her associates for a oral cancer surgery consult and they are experts with outstanding client care. They sat on the floor with Rock and I ... showed us photos of what the procedure would look like... and they answered all of my questions. There are larger surgery centers, but if your surgery is oral. I strongly suggest going here. They are specialized and they are able to take care of you as a pet owner. They have tons of testimonies. Due to Rockies sensitive teeth (he was a stray) we will likely be back for additional care. Thank you for loving us, informing us and working with us in a really tough situation.

Dr. Steffes and team are outstanding! My kitty’s lower mandible was fractured during a routine dental cleaning with a General Practice Vet. The GP Vet extracted his lower canines without notifying me or informing me of any risks (this procedure is extremely technical and challenging to perform due to the fragile nature of a cat’s mandible). My kitty’s jaw looked disfigured when I brought him home and within a few days he was exhibiting an extreme pain reaction. He also developed a foul odor in his mouth. I increasingly grew concerned and brought him back to the GP Vet to seek additional medical attention. I showed her his disfigured jaw, his lip was splayed out and his baby incisors collapsed inside his mouth. She dismissed my cat’s situation and stated that if his jaw was fractured it would heal on its own. She also did not address his raging oral infection. She told me to manage my expectations and that he can never eat dry food again because his jaw will be sore. She told me to schedule a follow visit in 2 weeks.
As I left there feeling demoralized and scared for my kitty’s wellbeing, I reached out to Dr. Steffes and her incredible team of highly skilled, properly trained, and qualified dental and oral vet experts. Karen in customer service answered my first call and within hours she connected me to Sara, dental vet tech specialist and liaison to the practice. Sara quickly called me to discuss my case and consulted me on my kitty’s likely fractured jaw. She sent pertinent information to Dr. Steffes for her to review my case. Within 1 day, Sara called me back and scheduled me to bring my kitty to VDOS for emergency surgery (suspected jaw fracture).
I took my kitty to VDOS the next morning and we met with Shelby, dental specialist vet tech. She was thorough and kind and walked me through how things would unfold throughout the day. I felt confident leaving my kitty in their hands.
That afternoon, I received the call from Dr. Steffes. She had examined my kitty and informed me that he had a bad infection in his jaw and that his mandible was irreparably damaged from the GP Vet lower canine extractions. She confirmed her findings with a CT scan and walked me through her recommendation - a mandibulectomy. Dr. Steffes assured me that this type of procedure was her forte and that my kitty would do well, be pain free, comfortable and able resume a normal QOL. We proceeded.
I arrived late in the afternoon to pick up my kitty and Dr. Steffes and Shelby sat with me for an hour reviewing their findings. Our discussion underscored how important it is to seek out qualified, highly trained veterinary specialists when considering care options for companion pets. I’m inspired by the humanity and compassionate care Dr. Steffes and team extended to me and my beloved kitty. Dr. Steffes is an excellent oral surgeon. Dr. Steffes and her team saved my kitty’s life and I will forever be grateful.
I’ve included three photos for reference. The first photo shows what my kitty looked like before his broken jaw. Second photo of my kitty with broken jaw from GP vet lower canine extractions jaw - he was in a lot of pain in this photo. The third photo shows my angel resting peacefully with his newly resected jaw - his tongue will now hang out from time to time.

I can’t recommend them enough!! They helped me better understand my dogs teeth issues, multiple options to help improve her teeth instead of just surgery or expensive prescription medication.
Very knowledgeable and I did not feel rushed at all. They took their time going over everything and ensured I understood.

I have taken both my kitties here for dental procedures and I am always so pleased with their care and comfort throughout the process.
I would like to specifically call out Sara who helped me through a particularly tough weekend up to the procedure, and provided a regimen and advice that allowed my kitty to get to the procedure date and not be so sick from his tooth pain.
Very grateful for all the doctors and their teams for treating my boys with such care and kindness whenever we visit - it makes the procedure days so much easier knowing they care about them as much as I do!

The entire staff at this office was AMAZING. Compassionate and friendly to both myself and my furbaby. They also kept me updated through the entire process of my pet’s consultation and surgery and called the next day to check on her. I highly recommend this office to anyone who needs specialized dental or oral care for a furchild!

They killed our Stewie. A mature corgi with three abscess and not sent home with antibiotics.
I have had to post this review daily. They are removing the truth about their practice.

I brought my cat here for multiple dental extractions in August 2023. This was my first time using a pet specialist, so perhaps I’m unfamiliar with the industry standard, but when I came to pick her up several hours post-op, the receptionist had informed me the total was over 1k higher than quoted range. That seems like something I should have received a call about. I brought her back a few days later since she refused to eat, and it turns out she was not administered any anti-inflammatory meds, which was frustrating to say the least (how is she expected to eat with swollen gums?). Her stitches healed with no complications, I would just advise future clients to be as aware as possible in a niche field of care like this.

I cannot say enough good things about the Hospital for Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery AND Dr. Reynolds. My dog, Skyler, is almost 14 years old and is on gall bladder meds, so suffice it to say, I was very nervous about having her teeth cleaned. However, after meeting Dr. Reynolds and her assistant, Emily, I felt very comfortable trusting my dog to them. Skyler had her teeth cleaned and 6 teeth extracted and did exceptionally well. Everyone was very kind, professional and you could tell they cared about your pet. Thank you Dr. Reynolds and the Hospital for Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery for taking such good care of my sweet girl.
