Riverdale Veterinary Group PC

Always feel they care about my animals! They are considerate, competitively prices and knowledgeable. They also managed to get us an appointment on short notice. The picture is of our dog, she is muzzled not because she is aggressive but because she has the potential to cause damage.

They are so helpful! As a new pet parent I was very scared to find out that my pup was extremely sick when we got her. They helped us understand what exactly was wrong with her and the medication/ recovery process. Maizey has always loved every single one of the the doctors and nurses there. They are all so very patient and calm. They even helped me understand pet insurance and care credit! Maizey also loves getting her nails trimmed here!

Not good with pets with special needs. We have been bringing our Yorkie here for 2 years, since we adopted him. He has a medical condition and needs care coordination with a specialist elsewhere. While they seemed happy to take hundreds of dollars for bloodwork ordered by the specialist, they did not update their records to reflect changes in his condition, even though we were keeping them in the loop on all correspondence and records with the specialist. Finally, when we turned to them in a time of need, they said they "couldnt find his record" and turned us away. They seem ok for routine primary care (maybe a bit pricey), but if you are choosing to care for a pet with a special need, you may not find support here.

Dr Freed is AWESOME..!!! I have a red ear slider Ms. Murtle the Turtle that is actually 31 years old. She decided to lay an egg which she had never done in 31 years. Everyone was so supportive because we freaked out not knowing what to do. They were so kind, informative and supportive for us. They never tell you that you have to many questions. They encourage you to ask questions and communicate with them regularly. This office and the staff is totally awesome

The vets and the staff at RVG provide a very safe, open, and transparent environment to bring your pet to. We've had some really bad experiences at other offices. This was a great experience. Dr. Freid made us feel really comfortable. We knew in advance who was going to be working with our cat both for the initial exam and for the procedure. The way he comes out and talks to you publicly and transparently about diagnosis and options right there in the waiting room just showed a lot of integrity as well. Also, the layout and design of the place is well thought out, open, and attractive, so you feel comfortable while waiting. We also felt that the staff kindly shared all information whenever it was needed. Everyone on staff could tell we were stressed about our cat's condition and the operation he was to have. They all seemed to really respect that in their professional but warm tone and manor. Finally, while our cat had a fairly major procedure, he came home hardly stressed which really helped the healing. So we know he was treated kindly and respectfully. Trips to other vets left him acting "cagey" for days. Not so at RVG! Thanks Dr. Fried!
