All appointments were honored; I was able to get emergency care on occasions of need, and fees were reasonable. One note: I'm not sure if the practice still accommodates exotics (including cockatiels and other birds); the staff vet who handled them left some time ago. For your four-legged non-flying pets I recommend BVH without hesitation.

They talk about what you need and walk you through all your choices~ making it fit you rather than them. I will never go anywhere else for my boy and so happy to have them in our community.

They have used the laser on my guy and it does help with the healing process quicker. Someone from the office usually calls to follow up within a week of his visit. This is very reassuring that they have their best for him in mind. Dr. Dodds is the only Doctor who has cared for Sheldie. When she was looking for a place of her own to practice, She and the staff are totally worth the two hour round-trip for his care. I would highly recommend Dr. Dodds & the staff at Rio Vista veterinary office.

Everything from first vaccines, annual and semiannual testing, to surgical procedures and end-of-life services. When our pets have had seizures, strokes, or passed away, they cried with us, they held us in their arms. Heartless? Not a chance. This is a very small practice and cannot see every animal in Allegany and Steuben County. Develop a relationship with your veterinary care team and you will understand the difficult choices they need to make in order to maintain the level of care that they provide for their patients.

Dr Coch seemed really thorough doing the exam he took many things into consideration. All in all he sent my dog home with an antibiotic and I have a follow-up appointment in a week. Dr Koch seems really friendly and gentle with my dog. I didn't think it was too terribly expensive although I have nothing else to compare it with as this was the first time I've taken him to the vet since he was small and needed his shots. My dog has always been extremely healthy. My Chihuahua usually nips and tries to bite people when they're handling him. He didn't try that at all with his staff or Dr Coch he actually seemed pretty comfortable little nervous but not overly so. I was happy with the experience I had and I'm giving five stars

So for those of you who might be visiting, here's a heads up. The office is technically a house…read morethat was turned into an animal hospital. So just keep that in mind when looking for it. The location is the LAST house on the left before you hit the T/dead end. COVID precautions, they're meeting you at your car (if you're parked in their garage space) and passing off your documents there, you sign everything and they come to get it later. You'll drop off your pet in a small exam room, and you can run some errands and come back, which is nice. I was able to get an appointment about a week or so after my first call to them, so they are accepting new patients, unlike the Almond veterinary hospital. Now here's the downside... so I had an appointment at 3:30 (mind you, they close at 4), and I was told to come early. My cat ended up being a lot more nervous than I expected, crying his head off in his crate, so I was only 5 minutes early, instead of the 15 they asked for. The doctor wasn't ready to see my cat when I arrived. I proceeded to wait for another half an hour, and he was only admitted a few minutes before 4. I'm at least glad that they didn't force me to come back. Otherwise, it would be a really bad review. They gave me a call when the doctor was done and they didn't seem too much in a hurry, so I wasn't stressed out about getting back on time. I had been in the checkout line at Walmart when I got the call. Costs weren't absolutely the worst, but they're still up there, but so are most vets. There is a 3% credit card surcharge, which seems to be very common in upstate/western NY right now. The doctor was very friendly and willing to talk to me about some concerns and signed off on some paperwork that I needed for bringing my cat on a plane. I didn't feel rushed at all, which I appreciated. Dr. Koch is very personable, and I enjoyed speaking with him. Otherwise, I might have given a 3 star review for how long I had to wait.
