    After not getting answers for our dog’s rapidly progressing condition at multiple other clinics, we came to RVRC desperate for solutions. All of the staff at RVRC were incredibly supportive, professional, and got our pup in for an MRI immediately. CCU Nurse Fani, Dr. Kees, Dr. Divita and Dr. Hollingsworth were amazing and helped us get through a tough time with high level care for our dog and empathy and communication for us. If you are looking for a clinic with the highest level of competence and customer service, RVRC should be your first and only stop!

Even some of the evening staff sent me a picture of him so I could see how he was doing! They...read full review
