Click to report rating    7/3/25   1     1     1     1   This review is to document a case of veterinary malpractice at the CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital. My pet suffered due to a critical misdiagnosis by Dr. Baird, a fact made undeniable when her own colleague at CSU later provided the correct diagnosis. After this clear case of malpractice was internally confirmed, I spent weeks attempting to resolve the issue with the administration. On June 17, 2025, I formally requested a meeting with Hospital Director Dr. Chad Johannes to address my concerns. My request was ignored as were follow-up attempts. Left with no other option, I filed a formal complaint against Dr. Baird with the Colorado State Board of Veterinary Medicine (DORA) for the malpractice and misdiagnosis. I am making this public to warn other pet owners. The culture at this hospital, from the initial malpractice by Dr. Baird to the retaliation from its Director, appears to prioritize silencing clients over ethical care and accountability. Please exercise extreme caution. RID: 71286

A concern is you are paying to see a specialist for your animal -- and often you are seeing a student. Frankly, you are paying top prices for this service. We were not comfortable that a vet would simply follow up on the paper trail of their students. We wanted more direct expertise for the situation. One of the students was truly an asset to the program. However, other students can be a little caught up in new found 'prestige'... and that gets a little old. The teaching experienced vets need to be more involved and visible. If you have an emergency -- this is the best hospital to go to. I would definately recommend them. RID: 13310
Click to report rating    2/15/09   5     5     4     5   The vets at James Voss treated our dog who was diagnosed with late stage lymphoma. They gave him another great year of life that he never would have had otherwise. The vets and nurses and everyone there were all so good to him that he actually seemed to enjoy getting chemotherapy. He just loved visiting all his friends at CSU, and everyone was honest, forthright, and sympathetic to us too. I'd recommend this hospital to anyone who has a pet with cancer or any other serious condition. It can be very busy and hectic there at times, but any minor inconveniences were well worth the quality treatment we received. RID: 11642
Click to report rating    12/14/07   1     2     1     2   This is a teaching hospital. You rarely ever speak to a doctor, and usually only interact with students. We were trying to take our cats to Australia, and the student who filled out the form instead of our doctor (Dr. Ruch-Gallie) mixed up there microchip ID's. Now we are unable to take our cats to Australia. We found this out 4 days before we leave. It is too expensive to have them shipped, so now we are scrambling to break apart our family and hopefully find them a good home. Dr. Ruch-Gallie is an inept instructor and did not properly supervise or teach her students. Take your pets here at your own risk. RID: 6670
