Testimonials

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
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
Dr. Shull is an amazing veterinarian. You can see in his eyes how much he loves animals. His eyes light up when he talks about his pets. A true animal lover. We won’t take our animals anywhere else. We are so grateful that our friend referred us to Richmond Valley. Dr. Shull and his staff our wonderful with our little pug and two cats. So gentle and carrying.

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
Dr. Esposito is phenomenal and I’ve never had a bad experience in all the years I’ve been bringing my pets. I trust every veterinarian there and have seen all of them at one time or another. I always highly recommend Richmond Valley.  – Frank Valentine
I owned a bulldog (Cal) from 1998 to 2008 and was referred to you back in 1998 by the breeder. Cal received excellent care from you. Sullivan is my 2nd bulldog. I wouldn’t take him anywhere else. But I understand sometimes places change with staff turnover and it’s been 8 years since I visited. I was not disappointed by your current staff. I felt very welcome. I felt that Sullivan was treated with great care. I felt that his exam was thorough. I found the doctor to be informative and candid. He … Read more
I am so pleased with the staff, and Doctors at your office! I love how much care, and time everyone takes to ensure the quality of life of my pet.  – Alisha Ferenczi
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
