Riverbend Veterinary Care

the most incredible, kind, and thoughtful service in a place i didn’t want to be (because it meant my dog was in critical condition). every single staff member took thoughtful and thorough care of my dog who was hurt, my other dog who was there with me, and even me. it was incredible to have this care in a time when i was extremely scared and feeling vulnerable. thank you, riverbend. i will continue to recommend you to everyone i know who might need your services someday. also THANK YOU FOR BEING OPEN ON SUNDAYS! idk what i would’ve done if you weren’t. thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We first came to Riverbend because of an acute concern with our older dog that our regular vet couldn't get her in for. They provided excellent care, followed up with us a few days to make sure treatment was working, and continued to provide follow up care. We LOVE Dr. Powell and her approach. Also, our dog does really well in their calm, quiet environment. I really can't recommend Riverbend and Dr Powell highly enough.

Just wanted to share my wonderful experience with Riverbend Veterinary Care. My dog had a scary medical emergency, and they were able to get me in right away. From the moment we walked in the door, the entire staff went above and beyond to treat me and my precious dog with the upmost care and empathy. I’ve never felt such reassurance in a veterinary setting before. Even after we left they remained in close contact with me about my dog and his recovery which I so deeply appreciated. I can’t recommend this clinic enough! Thank you Dr.Powell and the team!! 😊

My cat had a mild eye infection a month and a half ago and I am finally getting around to doing a review. I was unable to take her in due to a medical condition so my partner had been tasked with this part while I was the one who called around to make the appointment. Our regular vet was all booked up so they were unable to get her in to see her within a day or two and I didn't feel comfortable waiting any longer to have her seen with her eye issue. I am grateful I found Riverbend searching on Google because they are pretty close to where we live! I called them and talked with the nicest person getting all the needed information and her explaining to me the process and how they operate. It was super easy to schedule an appointment with them and they were flexible and had lots of time slots open which I was kind of surprised because it was last minute on a Friday afternoon. I paid a deposit online to hold her spot and off she and my partner went to their clinic. I am SO glad we found them and I would not hesitate to take my cats there again for an emergency that needed attention during the hours they are open. My partner reported that Dr. Rupert was really kind and caring and they wrote a really sweet note on our itemized billing and care paperwork that said she was a good patient. This is especially kind because Saphira has a lot of anxiety and I didn't have time to sedate her before her appointment like I do when she goes for regular checkups. I think the price for the exam was pretty reasonable and less than if she were to go to one of the 24 hour clinics in Portland. They also explained everything step by step and what costs were associated so there were NO surprise costs involved and they gave us options. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to the team for being so kind to us and taking care of our Saphira.

We went to the Urgent Care on what turned out to be one of the worst days we’ve had in a very long time. Our senior kitty was sick, and after calling around to a few other urgent care clinics Riverbend told us to come right in. When we got there the staff took him immediately to the back and they put us in a private room. After some waiting, some testing and lots of conversations we had to make the difficult decision to put our cat to sleep. Everyone at Riverbend was kind, compassionate and empathetic. The veterinarian was honestly one of the best I’ve ever seen, and we’ve seen a lot over the years. Their first concern was my cat and his comfort. We’ve visited other Urgent Care’s in the past and Riverbend was a much better experience (even though it ended terribly). The cost wasn’t bad at all, either. We had bloodwork, ultrasound, medications and some other stuff and we were expecting it to cost way more than it did. Even with the cremation package we chose, I do think their pricing is very reasonable. I absolutely recommend this place if you’re in the unfortunate circumstance of needing an urgent care vet. If we ever need these kind of services again I know we won’t even bother with the other places. They served us and our cat, Jenkins, very well. I appreciated their genuine care and concern.
