My dog Joybee had a tumor removed at Riverside. They were incredibly professional, fast and gentle. I could not have had a better experience. I brought he in on Monday morning, they made a last minute appointment for me and there was no waiting. The surgery was scheduled for Thursday, but they would have done it the same day if I had been ready.
Dr. Ramos and his staff explained everything to me in detail. They answered all my questions. Dr. Ramos called me to give me the results of the bloodwork. He and his staff are wonderful. It is a very well staffed office. In addition to their curtesy, I was impressed by how many people were on staff. I felt extremely confident and satisfied with the treatment she received. I cannot understand how anyone had anything less than positive to say about Riverside Veterinary Clinic.

In terms of pricing. Taking care of pets and their medical needs is always going to be expensive. I did a lot of research and I felt Riverside's pricing was very reasonable. They took x-rays, bloodwork, antibiotics and pain meds, pre and post visits for under $2,000.

The only thing I don't recommend is hospitalizing your pet overnight. I originally paid $80 for this and then later asked about their overnight staff. They don't have overnight staff. They refunded me and I picked her up at closing time this way they monitored her throughout the day of the surgery. I recommend not hospitalizing your dog overnight and bringing your dog in in the morning if s/he needs further monitoring. They do not charge for any visits within the first ten days of the surgery.

Again, I give riverside 5 stars and an A+ for compassionate, fast and fairly priced care!
