We are so grateful to the team at the Riverside Regional Veterinary Group for the care they gave our dog after he ate a garlic plant and had toxicity. We initially tried outpatient treatment, but his condition worsened and he ultimately needed to be hospitalized for three days. Dr. Saldana was incredibly educational, informative, and compassionate throughout the entire process, while also taking into consideration our dog's comorbidities and advanced age. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer our questions, and help us feel informed during a very stressful experience. The entire staff was kind and attentive, and we always felt that our dog was in good hands. While he was hospitalized, I received text updates at least twice a day and a few photos which was comforting. Thank you for the excellent care and support -- we truly appreciate everything you did for our family. read more

Terrible experience. Inexperienced techs and drs. Wouldn't answer any questions directly. Wanted to charge an absurd amount and when asked for different options, you're met with condescending responses. Like if we're supposed to just pull money out of trees. Please go away and find a better vet so your fur baby can have actual care somewhere else. They only care for money. Not for your pets. read more

Lifesavers! I'm so grateful to Riverside Regional Veterinary Group for their incredible care during my fur baby pancreatitis episode last Friday. This was a first for me. I was in distress mode and so was my fur baby. The staff was fast, compassionate, and kept me informed every step of the way. They turned a scary situation into a manageable one, and my fur baby is doing much better now. Highly recommend this team! read more

I'm surprised by the lower ratings before I came here. It's very clean, there is ample seating, and the vet (Dr. Koo) is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. What probably I don't like is the fact the entrance is confusing (it's in the back), but it make sense for an emergency place as you want good amount of parking since people are likely to stay long. Dr. Koo did his best to make sure my dog was comfortable since dogs are often fairly nervous at the vet. He gave my dog some time to adjust before doing the exam, and was able to note his upset stomach from physical inspection. He presented all the exams that he recommends but isn't necessarily too pushy if I wanted to have any removed. When no results showed a good cause for his vomiting and bloody diarrhea (which includes white blood cell counts, X-rays, and other blood tests), he gave his suggestions of issues and treatment plan to treat the symptoms until he feels better. As a microbio background and having seen bloodwork at ER even for my own where sometimes I look fine on paper but feel crappy, the outcome and explanation overall was not surprising since outside of vomiting and diarrhea, my dog was a super happy boy. He also explains how, outside of what I came in for, that my dog may develop arthritis in the future, which I felt was great because he didn't have to point it out given what the purpose of the visit was. It allows for me to address the issue early and considerations I need to plan for as my dog gets older. Overall I felt he was thorough and very clear in his explanation and suggestions without pushing more medications than he needs. Dr. Koo explained to a newbie pet owner like me about the symptoms and how more serious issues would evolve faster and my concerns like a stomach blockage from bones would not been possible. In addition, I didn't feel pressured about maintaining all the tests and treatment and was able to remove a treatment that I felt was probably unnecessary given my dog's overall good health. The injections he got overall stopped all the vomiting as well, and my dog seemed more energetic than going in, so I was quite happy with the overall result. He also recovered swiftly afterwards after only a couple of days on the meds. Thank you for existing so that I could rush my dog to be seen by a vet -- I was in such a panic to see blood in his diarrhea and no other hospitals were available. Although it could take a bit long, it's similar to how urgent care and ER operates, and a couple hours is far better than waiting 2 days for an appointment elsewhere. read more

Great staff! 10/10 Love the environment and they are very welcoming. I recommend bring your pets here. There's also lots of payment options read more

I was able to get in the same day for my sick puppy to be seen! The staff is incredibly friendly. The doctor was kind and knowledgeable. They are not pushy at all and will only do what you feel is right for your pet. Cost is reviewed before they do anything and you are able to discuss and change any of the treatment plan. This is not our usual vet, but we will be back if we ever need to. read more

Please don't bring your pet here! Brought my cat because he wasn't able to pee. As a male cat is an emergency situation. We were not taken as an emergency. Paid the consultation in advance and let me tell you. That was not a consultation. The guy barely wanted to talk to us. Didn't explain a thing and when my boyfriend tried to ask the questions the "doctor" basically treated him like an idiot, without explaining anything. He said he was doing ok with barely touching/looking at him. Decided to go somewhere else, and as soon as i told them my cat was not able to pee, they took him to the back to make sure he wasn't obstructed, they made blood and urine tests and guess what? He has a lot of crystals in his urine. He might not be obstructed now, but without a treatment he would be and as a male cat owner, we know thats a life or death situation. read more

I brought my dog here due to a anal gland rupture. They treated him quickly with care and gave us great instructions.

We came in for a late night emergency visit for our cat, got in fairly quick. But once the main male Vet came in, he didn't take us serious one bit nor did the female nurse prior to the vet, they barely checked out our cat. Did not listen to our concerns! Just felt like another payment for them. I personally would never come back. -ONE vet tech did eventually make us feel better, while we were being discharged. Shoutout to her! read more

My dog was seriously ill, I called at 4 am and was told to NOT bring him to their animal emergency room. I called again at 5:30 am as he was getting worse and I feared he was dying. Again, I was told to NOT bring my dog in until 7. I was begging the receptionist (whomever answered the phone) crying and pleading she refused to let me bring him in. She was cold and heartless. This is the 2nd negative experience I have had with this so-called emergency vet. I will NEVER call or go to this place. They do not care about animals. I have heard from others that they only care about money! I would give less than one star if it were possible. read more

excellent information and care. Staff and Vet were very. Staff and Vet were clear and direct regarding the procedute.

Helped my puppy feel better! I've been here a few times always helpful and caring . Thank you guys and to the team !!!

Saved our dog Toby after a really bad infection/laceration on his back leg. Got emergency surgery, recovered beautifully and is doing great! Came back for their awesome spay/neuter clinic with discounts on wed/thursday!! So glad to have found this place when we needed it the most. read more

Everyone we encountered were so nice, great communication with taking care of our girl.

I'll brought my dog for a check up cause he was not doing well as soon as I brought the dog they charged me $210 just for the doctor to see my dog and then after that, they charge me 800+ dollars to do bunch of exams they say it wasn't parvo it was an infection and then they charge me another 700+ dollars for the medication. I took my dog back home and the rest of my puppies got sick. One of them die cause it was parvo What he had thank god I find some one who hast the right medicine to kill the parvo and save my puppies I hope you guys stop charging people just for no reason don't use people's feelings to overpriced. What you guys supposed to do for the dogs read more

Great service, quickly helped when needed over the weekend with our pet. Staff were kind and attentive to treating our cat.

I've used this Vet for emergencies and cremation services for several of our dogs. The staff and Vet are great. Each experience was the best and they are compassionate when it comes to our furbabies. They were not my primary Vet only because they are 35 mins away and I have a Vet down the street from my home. However given the last few experiences I've had with my primary Vet, I think I'll be making the drive from now on. I recently had an emergency and they took my dog in immediately. Just a great place overall read more

The public facing people were all nice enough. The doctor seemed competent, and acknowledged my concerns about the costs without shaming me. No one talked to me at discharge about aftercare, and I ended up having some issues. That was suboptimal for me and for my dog. Otherwise, it's fine. He's alive. read more

I went and they told me to pay 4 thousand to just see my cat who's close to dying. These people study to supposedly "help" animals and the cost is outrageous. Absolutely not. read more

"I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received here. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and prioritized. They were incredibly thorough--they ran all the necessary tests and, most importantly, took the time to give me a full breakdown of the results. I never felt rushed or left in the dark about what was going on. They addressed her needs as best as they possibly could, and I truly felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely bring my pet back! read more

Very friendly staff and competitive prices. Very knowledgeable and friendly when answering questions.

Save your money and your pets and do not bring them here. They do not care about them or you only your money. They're rude, careless and unprofessional. read more

This is the worse place to come. From someone who works in customer service I appreciate the service provided. It's the job like or not. This place provides the worse customer service. They are passive aggressive, treat you like a transaction and no compassion whatsoever so ever. Took my dog in and resulted in surgery. I paid for 3/4 of total bill and was waiting for the rest to go through and asked if they could take my doggie back who was in pain and they said they could not until I paid in full. Took her back for follow up visit to remove drains and was given attitude by all three individuals at front desk. Genesis told her colleagues she got stuck at front when she should have been on back. I was right in front as she was assisting me when she said it so I replied she's stuck because of me. No response. She could have had the decency to wait until I left. When I finally walked out after 3 hours with my dog's medication on hand and I get call shortly after from Brianna telling I forgot medication. I explained I walked out with it. They have no clue what they are doing. I just hope my dog was not treated like I was. When I tried to speak to a supervisor they said I couldn't but if I had a complain would need to fill out a form. Will not be coming here again! read more

showed up at 449am with a very sick kitten. The tech comes out, says he's stable. Kitten can't breathe properly and lost his mobility. Then the receptionist says they are changing shifts and wont have a doc until 10am..I asked if they were a 24 hour vet, they said yes but it was vaccines day.. BE PREPARED IF YOU'RE 24 HOURS! read more

everyone here was so nice and awesome! i did have to wait a very long time but my cats condition was nothing serious so it wasn't a high priority which is understandable. but regardless still a 5 star review because staff was amazing ! read more

I witnessed a dog get hit by a car and rushed it to this clinic, hoping they'd show some compassion and get the poor animal the help it needed. I wasn't the owner, just someone trying to do the right thing. What I got instead was harassment, threats, and cold indifference. Rather than focusing on the injured dog, the staff immediately tried to pin financial responsibility on me. When I clarified that I wasn't the owner and was only acting as a Good Samaritan, they began implying that I was "abandoning" the dog, an accusation that was completely inappropriate. They continued to threaten reporting me and avoid care for the dog by putting the responsibility on me to find another clinic or call animal service. Mind you, this dog got hit by a car minutes ago, is bleeding out of her mouth, and laying on the floor. I ultimately had to tell them, "I brought this dog here to get help, what happens now is on you." I left heartbroken and disgusted, not just by the accident, but by how this clinic treated someone who was only trying to help. The way I was treated was uncalled for and left me questioning whether the dog would even be helped at all. It didn't stop there. One of the vet techs followed me outside and took photos of my car without my permission, as if I were a criminal. The whole experience was invasive, hostile, and completely unacceptable. I've never been so disgusted. A vet clinic that tries to dodge responsibility and interrogate someone trying to help an animal shouldn't be in business. If this is how they treat good Samaritans, imagine how they treat your pet when you're not looking. My only regret was not videotaping this experience to show the conduct of the staff and this facility of this particular incident. Absolutely shameful. read more

I did a search for Exotic veterinarians online and this one came up as a top recommendation in my area. I have a rabbit. I looked at the meet the staff section and they have a treatment supervisor who apparently has training and knowledge in the area. There are no descriptions on the website of what types of animals they don't treat. So I called for information to be sure and was told with attitude that they don't see rabbits. Which is fine, I understand. But maybe look into why your name comes up or ask me why I thought you did so you can clarify or take that information off the website. It was an educated assumption. read more

they dont care about your animals/pets health here this place is all about the money, "heartless" ****please dont go here with expectations that they care about your pets, here is the story of bumpy the sick french bulldogg, on august 29th 2025 i took bumpy to this hospital for help with abscess in his jaw, it was determined by the dr. that he had an abscess in his jaw and it got infected and the only course of treatment was emergency surgery to remove the blood from the infected area and was prescribed antibiotic, due to him being a frenchy he had to have surgery $4k, surgery went good and the antibiotics worked, bumpy was ok, now on friday 09/26/25 5pm i took bumpy back to the hospital to get the stiches removed and paid another $35 for post surgery check up, at that time they removed the stiches and everything seemed ok, on sunday morning at 7am the abscess had returned, so i called the hospital and told them the situations and how i was there a day prior and everything was ok and now since you guys removed the stiches everything is not ok, with the expectations thinking that the hospital would tell me to come back and honor the work they had preformed, mind you i had paid $4k for surgery and $35 each for 2 after care treatment, so i'm like yeah they are going to take care of him, nope boy was i wrong to my suprise they told me it would be $65 re-check fee to see him again mind you i had just paid $35 no less then 24 hours prior to this that friday the 26th, they had me upset, however i went along with it, the hospital checked bumpy out, and said we may have miss diagnosed the original issue and i only had 2 options pay another $200 for more anabiotics or pays $500 to do test to see if it cancer, i was like the area that we are having issue with is the same area i just paid $4k for, why wasn't the correct amount of antibiotics prescribed to me on the original trip and why wasn't the sample you original took prior to surgery checked for cancer then, they had no answer for me, i requested to speak with management however it was the weekend so i had to file a complaint and wait for a weekday , so i did, no one bother to call me back, now today 10/01/25 i woke up and bumpy was bleeding pretty good from the spot were the stiches were removed from , so i called again and requested to speak with management and made them aware bumpy is bleeding from the area you guys did surgery and needed help the manager told me that i would need to pay another $65 for bumpy to be seen by dr. on top of the $65 i paid on sunday 09/28/25 and any work preformed such as surgerys etc they do not stand by the work prefromed and will not provide me with the nesscary treat bumpy need unless i paid at least another $280 i asked them do they not stand by the dr. work, i had no issues with bumpy until the stiches where removed, i was told by manager no they do not stand by the work and if i cant affford the treatment for him to go open a go fund me page or ask for dontations, if he dies he dies that something i would have to deal with it wasnt there fault i was like wow, whoever takes the time to read this testimony please be careful with this hospital, all it is is a money grab for them, the manager is heatless and they do care about your pets none whatsoever , even there own employess say all we care about is the money, this hospital is not here for patient care all they want is the money, and jus to update you about bumpy he is currently fighting for his life right now and does not have a good chance at making it, it other words my dog dying due to the hospital lack of compassion for the animals and owners do not go here, do not go here, do not go here price assessment overpriced read more
