January 3, 2026 Today we had to say goodbye to our sweet 16-year-old Shih Tzu, Charlie. Lincoln Veterinarian Pet Clinic handled this heartbreaking day with exceptional kindness and professionalism. Irene was truly remarkable. She was patient and compassionate all morning, and each time I called, she recognized my voice and spoke with such care. That alone brought comfort during an incredibly painful time. The entire staff was gentle, prompt, and respectful, treating Charlie with dignity and us with sincere empathy. We are profoundly thankful for the compassion shown on one of the hardest days imaginable. Thank you so very much. read more

If I could rate a place 0 stars this would be the place. I have never ever had a horrible experience at a veterinary until I came here. I only came to this vet because of a referral from my breeder. Not only did they make me wait over an hour once, but twice!! TWICE. The first time after my breeder had took my puppy to the vet, we were scheduled for the second round of shots. During that appointment we still had to wait an hour. If I have an appointment shouldn't I been seen at the set appointment time? If there was a waiting period after checking in why was there no updates? Oh okay...They made us do an exam and we did, after that we were able to get our shots and we were scheduled for the last set vaccine that was supposed to be for today. Since shots are supposed to be taken at a specific time frame we were stressed and determined to get it done the date we had scheduled in advanced. After waiting a hour + they finally decided to open their mouth and communicate and say that my puppy needs another exam and this is their policy and the shots cannot be given. How convenient after a whole hour of waiting.. You decide to bring up your policy about how he can't have his shots and no you cannot have an exam the same day even though you had the 1130 slot filled for my appointment you wanna cancel.. After I was waiting in the lobby for over a hour.. Nice!!! ( They already gave him shots from the previous visit so not sure why I would need to pay another $67 for an outpatient visit. So not only did this frustrate me since I have already paid wayyy over the regular amount for vaccines / appointments they want to waste my time, and overcharge me and also not give a single fuck about my dog's scheduled vaccine appointment. What happened to vets not being a cash grab and actually caring about their animals and the paying customers. ( I have paid $100+ for only 3 visits ) If you think about taking your pets here don't. read more

This is by far the best Vet i've ever been to. Dr. Amber Rad is incredible, and I didn't get the other ladies' names but they were all lovely as well. My baby boy has a stubborn ear infection so I took him in, he's a big scary baby but they were all so sweet to him! They explained to me that he may need sedation due to his size and strength if he's not cooperative; however they brought him back out and all was good, no sedation necessary! Most vet's would have tried to convince me it was a necessary expense and charged as much as possible. They didn't do that, and they even helped me find affordable options for upkeep. Very good experience, Butters and I will be back! read more

Lincoln Plaza Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Riverside, California

As a family, we experienced an extremely sad day. We had to made the decision to end the life of our sweet cat, Jazzy Girl. We miss her so much! Such a big loss for our family. We took our 16 year old Jazzy Girl to Lincoln Plaza Veterinarian Clinic. Due to Dr. Becker and her staff, the experience was really lovely. A celebration of life. At the clinic, we were in our own room. We were able to hold Jazzy Girl and love on her the whole time, until the very end. It truly was a peaceful and loving good bye. We would definitely recommend this Clinic. read more

We had to put our dog Koba down and everyone here did an incredible job from the beginning to the end. It was my first time ever having to do this but Ilene/Irene showed tremendous compassion on the phone when we booked the appointment. Each of the doctors/nurses during the process were incredible and gave my boy the best experience he couldve got. If I could give this 100 stars I would. read more

We've had a really disappointing experience at this vet. As paying customers, the level of care and service we received did not meet expectations. While I understand that veterinary services can be expensive, the fees for routine vaccinations and exams here felt extremely high compared to other places we've been to, including the SPCA in Northern California. The biggest issue was with scheduling and communication. We had an appointment booked well in advance for 11:30, but still ended up waiting 1-2 hours. After all that time, we were told that our dog couldn't receive his scheduled shots without an additional exam and that they wouldn't be able to see him that day. This should have been clearly communicated ahead of time, not after a long wait. Overall, the experience felt more focused on billing than on the actual care and convenience of the pet and owner. This has also caused stress regarding our dog's vaccination timeline, which is frustrating. I would recommend improving transparency around pricing, appointment requirements, and better time management. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we will be looking for another vet. read more

I have been coming to this vet for many years but I had the worst experience while putting my cat down. The doctor told me they are now injecting directly into the kidneys and that is better for the cat since they do it directly in the room. She assured me it was quick and painless. The tech came in gave the first injection and the vet came in about 15 mins later to give the euthanasia drugs. I was holding and talking to my boy this whole time. She came back 15 mins later and he still wasn't gone. She said she'd be back and about ten mins later he was still alive. She said this has never happened before so they had to end up doing it the regular way. This whole ordeal was about an hour long. I understand he wasn't in pain but I was not okay and I'm still not okay to this day. I never received a sympathy card with the fur they promised and no discount was offered for all the stress emotional damage. Avoid this place! read more

The front office is amazing.... Doctor Becker was so understanding. and was good with my Pug! Summer, vet tech. was especially caring with our pug, Lexie!

This place is convenient in the Lincoln plaza but they've got very expensive compared to other vets from double to triple the cost for regular maintenance. I would rather do a further drive knowing I've paid fair prices on services. read more

Last option ! Just to prescribe a simple ointment for my dog's itchy eye, they wanted to do 3 tests before deciding what to prescribe. And of course, they want to charge each one.!! I'm just saying, if you have an emergency, just be prepared with money; they'll try to charge you extra for unnecessary things.!!! read more

We have been bringing our dogs here for well over 13 years. Always caring, place is always very clean and staff is always patient with all of our questions as well as with our dogs. We highly recommend them for all types of services your pet might need. Our dogs have never been apprehensive about entering this establishment which means it must give off good vibes. read more

I also donated litter and few cans of wet cat food. I recommend taking your pets here they care about your pets read more

I have been going to this vet for 23 years off and on. Since Alice retired it has gone downhill. They quoted me $3,000. for a teeth cleaning for one dog when two years prior year I paid $800. I also would take my dogs in for nail clips. They started at 15.00 per dog. At the end of last year it was $30.00 per dog, but I still brought them. I called them the other day to make an appt. to have my two dogs nails clipped, and they told me that for outpatient services a fee of $25.00 for each would be added to the price. That would make 2 dogs cost $110.00 to have their nails trimmed. I will not be going to this vet anymore. read more

I've been coming to this veterinarian clinic for years. It used to be pretty simple to make an appointment to get your animal vaccinations without a doctor visit. I recently made an appointment for my pet to get vaccination and received a notice stating that with the vaccination appointment is required a doctor visit. I feel that it is a way for them to make more $ no thank you! I'll be taking my pets somewhere else. read more

I called to set up an appointment and see if they take the AKC complementary wellness exam coupon that you gave when you register your puppy I was told yes through the phone and also to bring the certificate that I registered my dog through there when I got there, I showed the girl the coupon and everything she asked me for and she wouldn't and let me see the doctor, knowing very well that they didn't accept the coupon. Long story short I ended up paying for the exam. I drove 20 miles away from my house being the only Clinic according to the AKC that accepted this coupon even when I called and verified and set up the appointment and they told me that they accepted I ended up paying $67 which I could've done that by a bank near my home overall for experience I would not recommend anybody to go here the girls at the front desk are rude and don't know what they're doing cause they could've told me that they accepted once I was there and I showed him the coupon. read more

I wanted to thank you all for going above and beyond to help Zoe. Everyone has been completely helpful and caring. Dr. Raz is amazing and patient with my questions or concerns. I wanted to add a comment that Emily has been so patient with me and is a great person to have on the front line and on the phone when we have emergencies with our fur babies. I'm glad I came back to you guys for care. read more

I was charged the same price for a 30-ct of heart medication for my dog at this vet clinic as at a previous vet office, and Chewy.com charged for a 50-ct. I questioned the pricing, hoping they just made an error and would correct the count, but they explained that this was their pricing, even though online, their pricing was the same for the 50-ct. as well. If your pet doesn't need the medication right away, it's well worth going to Chew.com. read more

Go somewhere else. First they give my dog medicine and it makes his condition worse and he couldn't get up anymore. Now we have to put him to sleep. I called in to ask if I can purchase more items (extra ink or clay paw prints, urn, etc) before my dog is cremated. I get a young woman literally some teenager over the phone that has no clue how to handle a dogs cremation. This s**t is serious and to talk to someone that has no idea what they are talking about?? My f*****g goodness I just got off graveyard.. I asked the number to the location where my dog is being sent, maybe I might actually get some help. I wanted to choose an urn and everything I can get. This is my dog I loved and he's gone and I want anything I can get. I get told it's $60 for each paw... this is ridiculous. F*****g sucks my parents didn't take him to Loma Linda Animal hospital. I took my two girls there and it was a simple process. I do not recommend this place at all and I will be looking into the matter of this place giving my dog medicine to make his condition worse. "Oh no! What could improve?" This place needs to hire people that know how to work in a professional environment. Putting me on hold to ask the person next to them. Would have been better if they took over the phone call since they know about it but they failed too to see the gravity of the situation. read more

I would not recommend as they take way too long to fill prescriptions. They called to say an 8 day supply was ready at 10:45 am and then I asked if more could be provided and they said they will check and call back. This is Saturday and they close at 4:00 pm. I called a little after 3:00 pm as I have to have time to drive in and they said it takes time to fill and I explained that they call at 10:45 am and she said it wasn't her who called and don't know who who called me. She said it would take time to fill. I said you already told me it was ready earlier in the day, just needed to add to it, but since it's late in the day I asked if I could get the 8 day supply then and come back next week for the rest. Nope, can't fill it. Terrible. I said that she was out of the meds and that doesn't matter as it takes time to fill, that's all the answer I got. It takes time to fill and they need days to fill. I would not recommend going here. Spent over a $1000.00 on blood work and x-rays and could not get a diagnosis. read more

I fully recommend this vet for your euthanasia needs and more! When I had to call around Emily was the first person that I spoke with that was sweet and personable. She gave me all the information that I needed and their price couldn't be beat. Everyone was busy and scheduling for the end of the month, when it was the first week of the month and we had already exhausted a month plus of pain relievers for our sweet St Bernard. (I didn't think to plan ahead) Much to our surprise, when we called for cancellations they could fit us in today, two choices. I picked the later time. We just left the office- Teagan was especially helpful and gave us time with him and explained everything. My only complaint was hearing about the amputation option again when we had already taken a month to consider it and we came to this location for our decision, which wasn't easy. My husband is still having trouble with the choice. Both of us crybabies are going to miss our baby!!! But the staff was great! read more

I just started going to Lincoln Plaza a couple of months ago. Everyone was very professional, and caring. Dr Chazaro is amazing.

The service and friendly vet doctors. Been with them for my first dog now with my second dog. Lincoln Plaza Veterinary has good service.

I would like to Thank Dr Storey for his time spent today with Jade as he checked her over. I did not feel rushed, he answered all my questions, and then some. Thank you ! I wish to Thank Summer for calling me, listening and really resolving my issues. I feel that you really cared about the situation and that you listened to my concerns. You are an absolute amazing office manager, and I will always be grateful for the call. Victoria read more

Soooo, Lincoln Plaza Veterinary Clinic admitted, in writing (see picture) to violating the law! California Business and Professions Code 4829.5. Which REQUIRES Veterinary offices to provide you a Lizzie Law form when prescribing dangerous drugs. Which they prescribed for Bambi 8/15/23. Which they have admitted, in writing, that they DIDN'T do the form. This is just ONE of NUMEROUS violations that ultimately resulted in our beloved Bambi's death. And yes, we ARE taking action against them. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THEM!. Don't have your beloved pet wind up in a box on a shelf. Like our dog. JUSTICE FOR BAMBI!! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PUPPY HERE FOR FIRST SHOTS - Dishonest about price, dragged out process, simple appointments will take hours Most places will do 3 rounds of puppy shots. This place does 6! I tried to question the receptionist as to what the difference was or if there was a way we could do the standard 3 rounds. Are the dogs being given a lower dose? Why does this place require double the visits? She could not directly answer my question but rather started talking about how this is Parvo Nation. Given that fact, I'd rather my puppy be fully vaccinated sooner rather than later. Why is this process so dragged out? Not to mention the valuable time we wasted having her inside rather than socializing her with both humans and pets. I tried to be patient with the process however really didn't see a point in the puppy not being fully vaccinated until after 20 weeks. Our previous vet was able to do it in two rounds for a different puppy. We've come 5 times and my dog still is not fully vaccinated.... This place has not been straight forward with the price of the vaccinations and always charging a different price. I'd much rather have a straight forward vet that will do the shots in a timely manner. Our last appointment took us over an hour. We arrived to a full waiting room and two receptionists seemingly just on their computers. We were not even greeted. YOU DO NOT EVEN GET TO SEE THE ACTUAL VET OR GO BACK WITH YOUR PET. I tried to pay while my dog was being seen to save time and the receptionists would not even help me. 20 minutes after my dog was returned, they finally charged me. There is always random things on the bill that they could not explain and I was never able to see the vet myself in order to ask for an explanation. We just decided to cancel our last 2 appointments and go elsewhere. The vet we went to was able to finish the vaccinations in just 1 appointment. The process was quick and efficient. I'd suggest finding a different place if you are looking for somewhere to get your dog's vaccinations. All in all, we've spent over $300, and around 5 HOURS waiting for them to administer the vaccinations. This is not a quick or cheap place to get your dog fully vaccinated. They will maliciously keep you coming back with intents to charge you more. Your dog will be the only dog not completely vaccinated for around 5 months. read more

I came to this vet under unfortunate circumstances to put my dog down to rest. With my senior dog we knew it was her time soon but on the day of we were anxious and desperate to get an appointment because she was rapidly declining and no other vets in the area would take her in immediately . When I called the office, they told us to come in whenever and as soon as we arrived they had 2 techs come to the car to carry my dog inside on a stretcher. After explaining to them the situation and that we were ready to put her down, they were kind and gentle to give us the time we needed with her. Based on the interactions I had with the staff they seemed attentive and responsive which is what I look for in my vet. read more

I feel this place is racking up the bill. I noticed yesterday they charged me for the otic medicine 3 times more. When I called and asked they have their lame excuse and why they charge it. I will never go back there! read more

We've been coming here for years....LOVED Dr Alice! She was so caring and patient. Dr Ali is HORRIBLE!! He was so rough with our old gal and barely looked her over... we took her in because her leg swelled up double the size and he said there was a mass that needs to be surgically removed... wtf?? How about bloodwork (which he did upon our request) how about X-ray??? Nope. He asked ME to show him her teeth... I basically was doing his job. We sat for 45 minutes (dr was in and out in 5) waiting for God knows whattttt?? Getting antibiotics hoping that helps but definitelyyyyy not comin back!! So disappointed read more

Now that Pedley Square office has suddenly closed there doors Lincoln plaza has no room for the long time patients. Bookings is months behind and I am waiting on a prescription for a week now. Oh they tell you it can take up to 24 to 48 hours I am going on a week now. I called today only to be told opps with all the new people coming for the other Vet closings you're out of luck. Time to find a new Vet after 20 years. read more

This place has gone down hill the past three years. They do not treat you pets like pets they treat them like a number. They would rather let your dog suffer. This is not the first time this has happened. We have been patient hoping would get better but its not and our pets health and well being is too important to us to keep going here. read more

When I had to come to terms with putting my poor baby boy down I was told about this place. I am so glad I came. The vet and staff are super friendly. They let me spend as much time as I needed with my dog. They were very empathetic and sincere. They took very good care of my baby. Even provided a towel there for him so he wouldn't have to lay on the cold table. He was paralyzed. The cremation packages they offer are super affordable. They made the whole process so much easier for me. Thank you for helping me put him to rest and bringing him back home to me. read more

Say what you want of this place but it's one of the most affordable vet clinics in the area. I go routinely for my dogs vaccines and they specifically have hours for walk in vaccines. I think the hours are 9am-11am and then 2-5pm. They promptly always send me an email saying when my dogs vaccines are due so I never have to wonder. Also I have had both my dogs here for oral surgery, and i was impressed on the outcome. I've never felt pressured to get anything done or have to get anything extra, they tell you how it is and what they recommend, but ultimately it's up to you. I like all the workers; I've never come across anyone rude or have anyone mistreat me or my dogs. I always had a sense that the vet techs all have a passion and care for pets and that means a lot to me because I treat my dogs like my children. Only thing that sucks is the parking on their side is very small and limited. So sometimes you have to walk a little and park a little farther. read more

Extremely dissatisfied with the customer service today. I've been coming here for years with prior dogs and never had issues til today. I booked an appt on the app and it was confirmed. I show up on time to check in and they have nothing scheduled for my new puppy. I even sent them a screenshot showing my confirmed appt on the app. Yet still I have to wait as a walk in. Absolute bull shit!!!! read more

When my 14 year old mini poodle, Buddy, came down with vestibular disease, it happened out of no where and hit him like a ton of bricks. He went from being the most healthy and energetic dog to a dog who was unable to stand, walk, or even eat within hours. We frantically searched everywhere we could to get him in to see a vet but everywhere we called was either booked weeks in advanced or they wanted us to pay $500+ just to be seen. A friend recommended this place and i'll admit that at first, I was a little adamant about it after reading some of the reviews. I gave them a call just before they closed to see if they had any appointments for the week and was told that they were fully booked. The woman on the phone asked about his symptoms and said she will try to get us in if anyone cancels. Just as I went to tell her, she told me that someone actually just canceled their appointment for the next morning. She was able to get him on the schedule and we showed up first thing in the morning. The check in process was very smooth and we barely had to wait before he was seen. One thing that I did really like was the fact they we were notified that a reactive dog was about to come in to be seen. We were waiting outside and were kindly asked to walk back a little further down the sidewalk to allow both the reactive dog as well as my dog some space for comfort. They were not only respectful to my small dog and I, but they were very respectful to the reactive dog by making his visit as stress free as possible. I've been to another vet where they knew there was a reactive dog coming in but they didn't bother to care when he charged and snapped at my dogs face. Anyways, when Buddy was finally seen, the vet who came in was incredibly nice. She was so caring and gentle with my little buddy. She spoke very softly to him since she could tell that he was visibly nervous and terrified. She was able to immediately calm his nerves before starting his testing. You could tell that they truly care about the animals here. He ended up needing to go in twice but after a few weeks on his medication they gave him, he ended up getting better! He still walks with a little head tilt but he is no where near the same dog he was when he first arrived to the vet. They were not nearly as expensive as the other places Ive called and they even sent out a few 30% off coupons if I wanted to buy something from their online store. I really appreciate this veterinary clinic for taking such good care of my Buddy and being so patient and kind to him. I understand scheduling is crazy and near to impossible, but we are in a pandemic still and its been rough on everyone to make time. I've been to other vets who were all about the money but you could tell that this place really wants to see our pets get better soon. If your fur baby is sick and you are reading this, I hope you are able to give this place a chance to help you and that your little one gets better soon! read more
