Riverview Veterinary Hospital

I just want to say how pleased I am, and happy I chose Riverview Vet for my puppy, Pluto! Initially I went to Brandon Lakes vet, and although it wasn't a "bad" experience, it wasnt a loving, "this is the right DR for my puppy" experience either.. so then I came here, and everyone from the front desk to Dr. Garriga is very caring and passionate about what they do! My puppy was a rescue and was going to the bathroom every 30 minutes along with having a nasty cough and sneeze... I told Brandon lakes about this and it was brushed off as "allergies" and "hes a puppy", and I was told to give him allergy medicine. I waited a week and there was no improvement (and no chrck ins from the vet either!) so that's when I decided to get a second opinion with Dr. Garriga and I'm happy I did! Come to find out he had a UTI and I was given a reason that could explain his coughing and sneezing (side effects of previous vaccines from the shelter) instead of just "allergies"... I love that Dr. Garriga takes his time with you and your pet (Brandon lakes felt rushed and like the DR didnt really care) and makes sure to answer any and all questions (new dog mom here), as well as being very open and transparent about pricing- giving you an estimate of whats needed/recommended beforehand. I also had his follow up appointment yesterday, told them about a minor issue he was having, and they texted me to follow up and check in this morning to see how he was doing, which Brandon lakes never did. THEY CARE. THANK YOU!!!

From scheduling to staff, Anthony and the doctor were fantastic even did a follow up Call the next day to check on my pup Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a vet.

Dr Desbiens is amazing with our bunny Coco! She is very good with the animals and their families. Her office staff is very friendly.

Great veterinary clinic! Absolutely recommended! I found them for a second opinion for one of my cats health issues, and ended up staying with them for both of my older cats! The front staff, Dr. Heaton, in particular are all wonderful people!

I want to take a moment to recognize Anthony, because he is truly the only reason my dog is still a patient at this veterinary office. His professionalism, compassion, and genuine care consistently stand out. Anthony takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and treats my dog with kindness and patience every single visit. In contrast to other experiences I’ve had here, Anthony has made me feel heard, respected, and confident in the care my dog is receiving. It’s rare to come across someone who is not only great at their job but also clearly passionate about animals and their well-being. If it weren’t for Anthony, I would have already taken my dog elsewhere. He is an incredible asset to this clinic, and I hope his dedication and hard work are recognized and appreciated.
