They have no consideration for senior dogs and their well being. If you have any emergency with your pet FORGET ABOUT IT. Then when they get you there, they make you wait forever and a day with that senior dog. This will be the last time we ever come here and we have been coming here for a long time. My mom brought her senior dog here to put him down and they made her feel bad and guilted her into getting an ultrasound that costed $1500 before letting her put her sick and dying dog down. No compassion and so MONEY HUNGRY. I can't wait to never come here again!!!! Response to owner: Elizabeth Owen is the real problem here. She is rude and judgmental. She demanded we bring out dying dog in so she could look at her privates, when I knew she had a UTI. I've never been more mad. The girl there trying to make her stay still to get her weight. She COULDN'T EVEN BREATH. I don't need a call. I've had enough of this place. Lord save us if she is the owner. Adding photos of my review on fb and this places response. They gave us less then a day to try to contact them back. They emailed us a letter with all of our dogs info because of my review here. Clear as day this place is just out for money. Do yourself a favor and never go here. Also, we were told by staff that our dog hadn't been there in 2 years. Your response says she was there less than a year ago! Your vet told us she had cancer and they couldnt put her under because she wouldn't come out of it! What do they need to see????? A stressed out sick dog? Both of us called to see if we could do this any other way then bring her down. I even told them she might die on the ride there. They DID NOT CARE. Then we were told by the vet that she was confused about our dogs notes and things weren't adding up? Like what??? Get your stuff together. ***** I was blocked from their social media because of my 1 star review. BEWARE. They contacted us at 12:48pm and then by 1:08pm the next day (24 hours) they sent us an email with the boot and all our dogs records. That's how they resolve issues. I was going to call that evening to talk about what happened, but this is how much they care. I was NEVER going to come back as I stated, but thanks for thinking you had a roll in it. STOP SENDING US THESE REMINDERS! WE NO LONGER GO HERE. I have attached the reminder. **We are still receiving reminders for our pets. STOP*** still receiving reminders even though our animal has passed. Awful.

This has been a longtime family vet. 30 years ago when I was a child my mother still drove the animals up from Connecticut the couple years we lived down there. They are a wonderful and compassionate group of people.

We’ve only had great experiences at Riverside. We have had 3 cats and a dog go as patients, and have had a range of issues the Riverside folks helped us navigate. One of my cats was rapidly losing weight and we didn’t know why. Instead of running tests and upsetting him more, Dr. Anderson had experience with his particular set of symptoms and saved his life. Our cat is now 3+ years post-surgery and thriving. Alternatively, we had a kitty diagnosed with cancer. Riverside was with us throughout our journey - from check ups to referrals - they were kind, compassionate and understanding. And when we’re just going to annual check ups, Riverside is prompt and effective! Thank you to the amazing staff for keeping our pets happy and healthy!
