I was bracing for exorbitant costs for a routine mature lady cat checkup. Dr Ball was really nice, patient, and reasonable. She is also a very good educator and I think all pet parents would benefit from all her helpful advice and care. The staff, as usual, were kind and friendly. I was quite pleased with the appointment. The experience made me want to come back and have Dr Ball keep taking care of Mochi to provide the best quality of life for the cat. Thank you!

Dr. Ratcliff and the staff at Riverside Vet Care are absolutely incredible. I highly recommend them for your pet! I have two medically-challenging cats, and Dr. Ratcliff has gone above and beyond to brainstorm, test, and discover the best ways to treat their complex issues. The office is very clean and has a separate cat waiting room in the back. The staff is very responsive both by phone and email. When I needed to take one of my cats to Blue Pearl in an emergency, RVCOC immediately sent my cat’s records and followed up with Blue Pearl directly to get all the information they needed to treat him after he came home. They also recommended an at-home service to come check my cat’s blood pressure because the trips to the vet are so tough for him. They have always been upfront with me about cost - no surprises, although I know that can happen sometimes. After the past few years, I now trust Dr. Ratcliff implicitly and look forward to continuing my cats’ care with her!

My dog Softie has been a patient at Riverside Veterinary Clinic since our very first days in the U.S., and our experience over the past two years has been truly exceptional. From the convenient location and spotless interior to the warm and welcoming reception team, everything about this clinic feels professional and caring. The doctors are highly qualified, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to their patients. Softie received all of his vaccinations there, and the clinic consistently followed up afterward to check on his wellbeing and stay in touch, which always meant a lot to me. In urgent situations, the doctors were incredibly helpful over the phone and, most importantly, they were able to identify the underlying cause of my dog’s chronic coughing — something that had not been properly diagnosed since his birth. His dental procedure also went smoothly, and he was clearly well cared for throughout the entire process. When we needed travel documentation for moving abroad, the team handled everything efficiently and made the process completely stress-free. A special thank you to Rachel — she is incredibly kind, attentive, and a true professional. I am deeply grateful for the care and dedication the entire team has shown to Softie. I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for outstanding veterinary care. Our experience over these two years in New York has been nothing short of perfect.

Dr. Ratcliff is excellent and provided thorough care. Over the course of one month, I saw two other vets at this clinic for exams and blood work, but significant findings were missed. When I took my cat to an animal ER and soon she was diagnosed with cancer, and the veterinarian in the hospital was able to palpate tumors in her back legs. The staff is kind, but accurate diagnosis requires careful examination.

Very happy to make Riverside Vet Care my new vet. They took great care of my cat, I was in the room with him the whole time, and they explained everything very well and were extremely gentle with him.
