Compassionate Care came right on time and was so kind and caring.

I highly recommend this establishment. Thank you.

My experience was okay…read more I made a most difficult decision to let my beloved cat go after a long weekend spent almost entirely in ER trying to figure out why he would no longer eat and why his eye was swelling shut. And an even longer two or three weeks before that fighting to get him to eat. Like others here, Kevin was closer to me than my human family. I was busy with the doctors in ER so my partner called in to make the appointment to ease my stress. He said I was primary contact, but it was difficult to make that clear all the way until the day so communications were continually going to him. Not a big deal in the overall picture, but it didn't make the experience any easier. This was my cat for 8 years before I met my partner and while he loved my baby, I was the one with the lifelong bond. The doctor showed up within the time window allotted. We both found her a little cold. I felt like we were just a job and everything was done by number. My BF picked up my cat and carried him to me, but the doctor said we should do paperwork first which resulted in me putting him down after building up to do what I deemed impossible. I was emotional and crying. This really should somehow be handled before the visit. There were corrections to be made on the form. I was about to lose my baby and this only made me aware that I was filling out his death warrant. I am utterly heartbroken. I know holding your baby until the last minute is catharsis and closure, but I found it traumatizing. His passing was peaceful at least. Everyone's goodbye will be unique, and my example will not necessarily match what others experience. Everyone we spoke to was professional. I just wasn't feeling the compassion.

We were able to get in next day for the procedure so I didn't have to wait too long knowing what was going to happen (Thank you Callie) They had a special private entrance for us which was nice because I had already started sobbing. My vet, Morgan Helfrich, and her tech were very kind and made sure we could say goodbye at our pace. They had plenty of anesthetic so she could pass not knowing what was happening. My vet said some very gentle words as my dog was passing to gently say goodbye, words I was unable to choke out at the time, but were important to say. Thank you Riverside Animal Hospital, you were so wonderful to have on my side during such a painful moment. I will never go anywhere else!

By far, this is the best veterinary clinic I have ever found, and I mean that wholeheartedly -- I…read morehave absolutely nothing negative to say about this place or the people who work here. The front desk staff are kind, thorough, and genuinely personable. They have a way of making you feel like you and your pet truly matter, not just like another client number in a system. Dr. Sheen is the best DVM I have ever worked with, and that says a lot given how many vets I've encountered over the years. She genuinely cares about the well-being of her patients and consistently goes above and beyond to provide the most well-rounded, thoughtful, and personalized care in every situation. My dog Jax has terminal cancer, and Dr. Sheen has been one of our greatest advocates and sources of support throughout this entire journey. When she doesn't have an immediate answer, she has no hesitation in admitting that -- and then she finds the answer, or points us exactly where we need to go. She is kind, genuine, and carries such a quiet, loving energy that I trust her completely with my dogs' health (which, as a self-proclaimed overbearing pet parent, does not come easily for me). My only wish is that she worked with horses too! Thank you to the entire Elevate team for the exceptional care you provide. I will be a client forever.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
