My experience with Riverbend has been very good. I really like both the doctors that I have dealt with. Dr. Doyle is wonderful, very thorough in explaining things as is the other doctor. I was with another vet clinic prior to Riverbend and thought the service was dreadful and since this clinic is my my community, I decided I would give it a try and I'm glad I did.
I had my dog neutered here and when a week had passed and there was oozing and swelling at the incision - I naturally called in to inquire and was treated like a nuisance. Considering I paid nearly $600 to have the surgery I think they could have removed the condescending attitude. I also took him here to get a nail clipping, I prior explained to them he is terrified and will try and get away and they assured me it would be fine. So after about 15 minutes they ask me to come into the back to help calm my dog down and they had clipped about 3 nails with blood all over the floor. And charged me $40 for this "service". Will not recommend or return.
So my dog got both his third eyelids swollen and we asked for medicine from this clinic which was $80. Fair enough no progress though because his eyelids were still swollen. So we asked them if there is surgery involved to heal him since the medicine wasnt working and they said yes. We go through the whole surgery process and after my dogs surgery everything was fine. Eyelids were normal and stitches come off in about a week. 2 weeks pass and then the eyelids came back swollen. We gave them a call and they admitted that the "surgery" was only temporary treatment. $800 FOR TEMPORARY TREATMENT that they didn't even mention to us? I advise no one go here unless your pet is in an emergency because the staff involved with my dog are meatheads.
