Tar River Veterinary Hospital is a highly recommended place to take pets. The hospital has caring and helpful staff, including veterinarians Elise and Dr. Goldman. They are known for providing excellent care, correct treatments, and being polite and courteous. Eileen, a staff member, is praised for her caring, patient, and helpful nature. The quality of care is top notch and the cost is reasonable.
I can't say enough good things about Tar River Veterinary Hospital! My dog Kosho received excellent care for 14 years ( he's passed now) Dr. Goldman and staff went above and beyond to give the care he needed. I would recommend them to anyone.

Have been going to Tar River since 1990. All my animals have been taken care of by Dr Goldman, she's a great Veterinarian. I recently found out that one of her staff passed away last year ... Eileen and she will be greatly missed as she was a very kind person to the animals and people that came in for help. Dr Goldman cares so much about animals care that she has been doing the low cost vaccines at the Franklin county animal shelter on some Saturdays for many many years. I thank her for her dedication!
