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
The doctors and office staff could not be nicer or more professional.  All of my cats have received such wonderful care.  I would recommend this office to anyone who wants great care for their pets.  – Christina Drabik
I have been with Richmond Valley for approximately 20 years with all of my dogs. They provide excellent care for their four-legged patients.  – Justine Dmytrow
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
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
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
