Riverside Veterinary Clinic

I wouldn’t trust those good reviews!!! I called to come in for vaccinations. The person on the phone suggested Saturday at 1p, I thought because it was their suggestion it would be honored. After waiting an hour plus, I asked for an estimate and was reprimanded to even suggest that could be given. Once inside I reported my upset and, since no apology or face time with the doctor given, I asked that the consultation fee be waived - as it is offered to people who give good reviews. The answer was no, so I walked. Petco has always been encouraged. So petco it is.

Best vet in the area. Always have a good experience taking my dog. They're quick to respond to schedule an appointment. They get you in and out efficiently without making you feel rushed. They give my pet what she needs, and while they may suggest other things that may be helpful for her, they're not pushy at all if you feel you don't need that extra stuff, which I've found at other vets. And if it's a busy time and you have to wait in lobby, they're attentive and communicative about what's going on and where you are in line.

I’ve been going to this veterinarian for years and I have always been very satisfied. Clean and professional environment, and very affordable! Love them!

Just had to leave. Brought in my dog for his yearly teeth cleaning and got an estimate that was significantly higher than expected (which unfortunately I've gotten used to). I called my wife so we could examine our past bills so I'll give you guys some numbers. Today in 2022 the procedure was about 600$ including a 100$ discount. (I do not have the exact price in front of me, I believe 630$ with an extra 29$ charge for ointment that shouldn't be included in these calculations. In 2019 this procedure was 379$ (we were billed 425 rightly so because we also got heartgard.) Also including a 100$ discount. In 2021 we got this procedure on both of our dogs minus a rabies vaccination for one of them for a total of 1000.93$ including a 200$ discount (which is consistent). This comes out to 500$ for a single procedure. Over the course of 3 years we have gone from 379$ to about 600$ which is a 58% increase in price. No amount of economic explanation makes sense of this and they jack up the price egregiously every year. It's a shame, they do good work but at some point we will all reach our limit.

We are new to the area and were in need of a vet quickly to address my pups gooey eyes. Riverside got us in next day! When we arrived a staff had us complete new client paperwork and weighed both my boys for their check-ups. We were taken back to a room within about 5 minutes, where both boys could be together. The vet and a staff person were in right away to check out the boys, prescribe an ointment and show us how to administer. They gave us the option of taking a culture now or waiting to see if the medication worked, which was appreciated. They were so great to work with, professional, explained everything clearly and most importantly my pups left happy and taken care of.
