Testimonials

Richmond Valley is our second home! Our little Buffy has numerous health issues and we are always tended to with respect, kindness and love! Best, Kelly and Buffy DeShaum.
Dr. Esposito is excellent. The staff are great. Everyone who assists the vet in the room are always very caring and good with my dog. I’m always able to get an appt and even had to change my appt and staff was accommodating. I wouldn’t change anything.  – Alisa Fernandes
We take both our bulldogs to Dr. Maccia – he is the best. Every time we are there, we see at least three or four bulldogs in the waiting room. We drive from the Jersey Shore to Staten Island because we want our bulldogs to be treated by veterinarians experienced in treating bulldogs. Could not recommend Richmond Valley Vet highly enough.  – Robert Koppel
We are extremely happy that Sugar is a patient of Richmond Valley Vet. Medical staff is knowledgeable and professional and true animal people. Also the clerical staff are friendly and helpful.  – Marge Delaune
I am grateful for the time and concern the doctors and the staff offer me and my pets. They are attentive , professional yet very empathetic! I feel blessed to be able to turn to them for the care my fur babies need!!!  – Diane Nudelman
Every time I step into the office I know that my Tosca will be getting the best care ever. And I’m aware of the fact that emergencies happen and the dogs get the care as I would expect when an emergency happens for my Tosca I just wish that when I had an appointment that I was taken directly on time But when it comes down to it it’s worth the wai. ~ ADELE & MELISSA SANTANTONIO
Prompt service, gentle handling of our family member – great job!  – Jamie Weiss & Michelle Longueira
Layla loves coming to your practice~she has no idea it is a vet visit!  – Marlene Albrecht
I just love how professional the doctors and staff handle my dogs & issues.  There is nothing I would change, Excellent job!  Thank you.  – Janet Misseri
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
