Hello from the River Road Veterinary Team! We are inviting new clients to our hospital- including your small furry or feathered friends See you soon
(43)

Our veterinary team’s primary focus is to provide excellent medical and surgical care for cats and dogs. Being pet owners ourselves, we understand the special role your pets play in your family and we treat your pet as we would our own. As a smaller practice, we are able to provide the personal attention to the unique concerns of each pet owner. We feel that the bond that develops between the vete

rinarian and pet parent is important to your pet's health and work to foster this relationship by providing a friendly atmosphere where you will know the veterinarian caring for your pet and still have the benefits of a new, modern, state of the art facility. By routinely utilizing the expertise of specialists, including radiologists, internists, cardiologists and our board certified surgeon on a visiting basis rather then permanent staffing, we are able to provide advanced medicine and surgery at a competitive price in a familiar setting. This may include having our board certified surgeon visit the hospital to complete advanced surgery, the cardiologist visit to perform an echocardiogram or our radiologist evaluating your pets radiographs. Feel free to browse our website and if you have additional questions or would like to schedule an appointment please contact us or stop by.
