Testimonials

Dr. Caban is an amazing doctor to both of my dogs! Always explains in detail everything I need to know.~LORI DZEDOVICH
The staff and the doctors at Richmond Valley are friendly and professional and organized. We had a 6:30pm appointment and waited five minutes before Lulu was called in. Her doctor was very sweet with her and the staff make sure they acknowledge each pet that comes through the door. Great job, great team. ~DANIELLE PERROTTA
Always a great experience.  Fiona is always very well taken care of from the moment we walk in to the time we leave.  Truly the most caring veterinary practice on the island.  – Gregory Orlando
Mack’s stay at the kennel was excellent as usual.  Denise and her helper are like family to Mack, always caring and pleasant with him.  The kennel is always kept clean.  Better care for my dog would be hard to find.  – Diane Riguardi
