The staff here is really nice. The vet techs are friendly, though they don't seem to call you back when you leave messages. The vet USED to be someone I would trust, but seems not to care anymore. My parents dog has a condition on her toe where the pad grows too fast and doesn't slough off, so we have to file it down. When we first noticed it, I asked him about it, his recommendation was just to cut the toe off! Didn't bother to go see what it might be, or to give other recommendations. Within ten minutes on the internet and speaking with another vet, I was given a much more reasonable solution, especially since the dog is fat and arthritic and has a hard enough time getting around anyway. Other experiences also make me think he just wants to get them into surgery rather than trying other treatments first.

I adopted a 3 month old kitten and later found out she had and upper respiratory infection. She was treated by the place I adopted her. She passed the infection on to my one year old male tabby. He was coughing, wheezing, not active and not a happy cat. I took him in to see Dr. Besendorfer and walked out with a new vet for both my cats along with any future pets I may have. From the moment you walk in you are greeted by the friendly staff and friendly cats at the reception desk. In the exam room Dr. Besendorfer is so gentle and kind with your pet and makes sure you understand everything going on with your pet. Upon checking out the receptionist asks how things went gave me tips on how to administer medicine and made sure I knew to call no matter what. They made me feel like they were as concerned about my animal as I was. I highly recomend Riverton Veterinary Clinic.

I have been going to Riverton Animal Hosp. for 5 years. They are caring and considerate, and very reasonable in price. You can get in in a short time, the wait is never long, and they treat your animal like their own. Now they have added grooming, and I had my red heeler groomed right after a visit. That price is also reasonable, my dog looked (and smelled) better, and she was happy, so I know she was treated well. I would recommend these vets and the clinic to anyone
