ANIMAL EYE CENTER, P.C.

What ANIMAL EYE CENTER, P.C. does

Animal Eye Center, P.C. is a privately held veterinary ophthalmology specialty practice headquartered at 215 West 67th Court, Loveland, Colorado, operating since 1998 under founder-owner Dr. Steven Roberts (DACVO since 1984). The clinic provides board-certified specialty eye care — examinations, diagnostics, medical treatments, and surgery — for companion animals (dogs, cats), large animals (horses, llamas, cattle), exotic species (reptiles, ferrets, birds, small mammals, zoo animals), and dog breeders. Core technical capabilities include phacoemulsification cataract surgery with optional intraocular lens insertion, endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) diode-laser glaucoma treatment, corneal laceration repair with conjunctival grafts, cryotherapy for eyelid tumors, entropion/ectropion correction, parotid duct transposition for severe dry eye, and OFA Companion Animal Eye Registry (CAER) certification examinations. Diagnostic instrumentation spans slit lamp biomicroscopy, panophthalmoscope, TonoPen/TonoVet tonometry, and fluorescein staining. The practice reports a 95% cataract surgery success rate and 75% efficacy for cyclosporine/tacrolimus dry eye management.

The firm generates revenue on a fee-for-service professional services basis across examinations, diagnostic procedures, and surgeries, with publicly transparent pricing schedules (updated January 2025) covering appointments, procedures, and surgery tiers. Patient financing is supported through CareCredit and VetBilling payment plan partners, while digital intake runs on Wufoo forms. Distribution combines a fixed Loveland, CO clinic (Monday-Friday 8am-5pm) with a mobile veterinary clinic that travels to Wyoming and Montana to serve equine and remote-location clients. Customer acquisition relies on general-veterinarian referrals, word-of-mouth, organic SEO, and an educational content website covering common animal eye diseases. The team consists of Dr. Roberts, Dr. Kent Burgesser (DACVO since 2000, joined September 2018), and Dr. Adriana De Castro (ophthalmology resident), with no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds evidenced. Strategic positioning rests on the regulatory credential-gated supply of ACVO Diplomates, multi-decade clinical reputation, and the only ACVO-certified OFA exam provider footprint across its Northern Colorado and surrounding-state service area.
