Surgery performed by Magyar left us at Va Tech emergency room. 5 months later we had to put our boy down from damage caused from surgery. Made appointment was made to wait 1 hour 20 mins before Potter came in to tell us he was not capable of putting our boy down and told to go to another facility. Our 5 year old boy is gone with no responsibility or remorse from this clinic. Did take over $4000 from us.

Very awesome staff. Very helpful. We brought our very high anxiety dog in for his shots, and they were very calming for him, and he did great. Very happy with their help and we will be bringing our other dog in when she needs her shots updated.

When we couldn't get in to our regular vet and my baby was sick, I called Riverside Vet Clinic and they saw us within 25 minutes. Now my baby is back home resting completely. She ate, took her meds and seems to feel better. Thank you all for everything you did.

Stumbled across a first appointment/consult free promotion that this vet offers while looking for somewhere to take my Shih Tzu to so figured I'd give them a shot, and I'm so glad I did. This is hands down the BEST vet I've ever been to (and I've been to quite a few through the years)! They were able to get me in surprisingly quick once I contacted them and the staff were all extremely nice and professional.

The vet was very thorough checking my boy over and actually took thetime to explain in great detail everything he was checking/saw as he did so. First time I've ever been to a vet and felt like they actually really cared about my animal and making sure he got everything he needed without trying to do a bunch of unnecessary (and expensive) tests and up-sells. 11/10 amazing experience, will be using this vet in the future everytime one of my pets needs to see one and will definitely be recommending them to all my friends (and I don't recommend things often).

If I had posted a review over a year ago it would have been 5 stars. I had an amazing experience when Dr. Brown was still at the clinic. I have a 11 y/o dog who is anxious around new people but loves people when he realized they are not a threat. I was unaware the vet seeing my dog was one he AND I had never met before. I explained to the vet techs he would react anxiously without me but I was refused to be allowed inside with my senior pup.

I recently moved and asked for his records to send to his new vet clinic only to find out he was MUZZLED his last visit with this new vet and I was never told. This is traumatizing because he has NEVER had a muzzle before and a new stranger was putting stuff on his face. He was just scared. I am extremely upset and offended this was never brought up to me during or after his appointment.

I was never told or asked if it was okay. I read it in his records myself, nobody told me. It makes me sick to my stomach, I would have never allowed that to happen and I would have immediately removed him from the clinic. My dog was acting skittish when we returned home and wouldn't leave his kennel for hours. He was scared and I was not allowed in to help him.

The clinic did NOT listen to my advice on how to sooth him and earn his trust. (Just bribe him with treats I gave them to get him to work with them.) After his appointment the vet was rude and dismissive of me when I tried to ask questions about my dogs check up. That also disgusted me, you should not be working with animals if you refuse to try to understand them.

I did not deserve that attitude from the vet and my dog did not deserve that harsh treatment. It should have been brought up to me and not hidden in records until I asked for them. I gave the vet techs his favorite treats and they were returned to me, untouched, at the end of his appointment. My dog has become incredibly terrified of the vet and strangers after his last two visits to Riverside, I guess it makes sense now.

This was my kitten's first time at the vet and she loved it! Everyone there made her comfortable. There's a very knowledgeable staff and they treated her with care. I look forward to her next appointment!

Riverside is a wonderful clinic! We had called everywhere between Pulaski to Vinton, trying to find someone who would see one of our fancy rats for an urgent issue. We were lucky and happy that Dr. Magyar could see him so quickly! Many people don't view rats as true pets, but all of the staff we encountered were excited to meet our furball. The front desk receptionists were absolutely lovely, making the paperwork and processing a breeze. Dr. Magyar and her assistant, Sarah K., were amazing!

Full of compassion and smiles, and so loving to our little family member. They took care of him beautifully, and the way they interacted with us all put me at immediate ease. Riverside is top notch! Thank you all for seeing our little one and taking such great care of him!

The staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Potter was calming and carefully explained the health issues toe that my dog was experiencing. Also provided me the cost for medical care for my dog. I was relieved after speaking with him and plan to continue having them care for my dog. They are available several days each week with evening hours. I appreciate the call I received several days after our visit to check on my dog. Very reasonable pricing for pet care.

Can't say enough about them. Staff is wonderful and very helpful. Doc is very caring of the animals she see's and extremely helpful with them. Even if you pet passed over the rainbow bridge they send you a card expressing there sympathy. I have went to other vets a few times and I look for a different one, not any more they satisfied all my veterinarian needs for my puppers.

Awesome team. In and out curbside service to get the fuzz ball. Shots and back to my vehicle in 15-20 minutes. So friendly, very informative, I left Town and Country to come here. Believe me it was well worth the change.

I took my pup there today. After the encounter we had the other day with another vet I was very pleased with these guys! My pup is skittish around new surroundings and people she doesn't know and they handled her amazingly. I was impressed! And the veterinarian actually called to speak with me about my pup and her growth and some things we need to work on. I really can't thank you guys enough! I'd definitely recommend them!

My cat of 17 started going down hill this week. I took her to Riverside and they got us back promptly and were fast to get her to oxygen and evaluate her. Sadly even with their attempts it was her time. They made me a beautiful paw print plate and comforted me. The bill was only $15 for the evaluation, medicine, oxygen, her wrap she was in, and the paw plate.

They are a wonderful, understanding, and all around good hearted people. I'm very grateful they got her straight in and made it easier on her to pass peacefully. I will definitely take any other people I have there. Katie will never be forgotten and was so very loved.
