Can’t express how much I appreciate your practice.  Everyone is so accommodating with the best interest of the of the animal at heart.  You make the ride from New Jersey worthwhile.  Thank you.  – Maria Vallillo  
I feel that my bulldog gets excellent care at Richmond Valley. Everyone there is very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We trust them with our Sophia!  – Roberta Ohanlon
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
Audrey came outside to our cat & helped us get Irish into the carrier. She was so helpful! Dr Caban gave Irish a thorough exam & a rabies shot. He was very gentle & caring and gave us advice to help Irish lose some weight. ~GERARD CHADWICK
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.
