Testimonials

We are always treated with respect, courtesy, and care at Richmond Valley Vet. We have had other veterinarians in the past, that we felt were competent. However, Richmond Valley goes above and beyond what we have ever experienced with other practices. The receptionists are polite, caring and very kind and empathetic. It is very easy to get an appointment, especially in emergency situations. We have dealt with three of the veterinarians there and they have all proven to be far more than just comp… Read more
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

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
Everyone was so nice and welcoming and I really felt comfortable bringing Mochi there. I would highly recommend this vet to everyone.Everyone really cares about your pets needs!! The #1 best part is that you do not have to educate the vets about English bulldogs!!!!!! That is the biggest relief!!! And Dr. Esposito is awesome and the vet techs know how to handle bulldogs. My only suggestion would be that thier would be a second person to help out at check out. Even though they are very busy when … Read more
Everyone is so kind. I appreciate the care everyone is giving to our Zoe. It means so much to me.  -Lucy Bauer
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
