She had a mass cell tumor. ... a very serious and potentially fatal illnesses requiring surgery . The entire staff was extremely polite and very considerate of our feelings and the well being of our little doggie. They were very thorough with the explanations of the disease and its treatment options . They were not at all pushy or sales pitchy with the selection of which treatments to pursue. They were understanding and respectful of our budget concerns. The doctors are brilliant and highly skilled in their field. They are skilled surgeons. Their bedside manner is excellent, very respectful and professional ....they made a bad situation less stressful and enspired hope and confidence that things would turn out alright and they did.....even if things had of not turned out as well as they did I am confident that riverbend did the best job possible with our little friend ......our little dog ended up having surgery and did extremely well . She is bouncing around like nothing happened . This business is top shelf . I would highly recommend taking your furry friends here for the very best treatment possible . Very impressed with everyone there . Building is spotless and cheerful . Mood in front of the house is professional, courteous and up beat . The caregivers are absolutely the best I have ever encountered in the veterinary field and I have had dogs for 40 years .

My dog was unable to make her appointment, which I communicated to them ahead of time due to transportation issues. They received the down payment, but after that, I felt completely dismissed, even though my dog is suffering from entropion. I requested to reschedule or speak with someone, but nobody has contacted me back. It's disappointing when a pet's care feels less important than keeping payment for a missed appointment. Touché.

They were kind and quickly got me set for an appointment and when we got there the vet techs and the doctor took time to learn about our pup and inform me what they suggested and even gave me the choice of having the blood draw done in the room with me or for her to go in the back room. They really made sure that both my pup and I were comfortable. Highly recommend them!

I've been bringing my pup to Dr. Henderson for 4 years now and I'm so lucky to have found such a…read morewell-informed and reasonable vet. Yes, she is no BS and not over the top with the smalltalk. I appreciate that. Her staff has been very kind and helpful to us during many emergencies and my dog's health has greatly improved with her care. I was told at another local vet I would need a $3000 surgery to remove a part of her anatomy that was never actually causing the problem. Rather than rushing to the pricey option, Dr. Henderson did repeated tests and exams and made an informed and humane decision. My pup is quite healthy now and the surgery was obviously unnecessary. Dr. Henderson also explains the issues, including drawing diagrams, so that I can completely understand the situation and the options. When my pup has been sick her staff has called me to check up on her. After ER visits elsewhere, the staff calls to check up on my her. It's a very sweet gesture and has always been appreciated. This vet isn't handing out hugs to distraught pet owners, but that's not what I was looking for in a vet. I was looking for someone who is informed and experienced. I found it here.

Do not see Dr. Henderson if you care about your pet…read more Our cat Milo was having seizures suddenly over the last 12 hours so we decided to take him to the vet. He was an overweight cat and the cause of the seizures was not diagnosed. After simply taking blood work and giving less than 20 min of an IV fluid, they stuffed him back in the cage and sent us on our way with a prescription for phenobarbital. No instructions other than how to give the cat the medicine, no goodbye, no thank you, and no advice on what to do if the seizures persisted. We administered the half a pill like we were told to do and he had another seizure 10 minutes later. We called the office to get advice and they basically said nothing. We left Milo to go get some yogurt to help him with his dosages for about 3 hours and when we got back he was dead on the floor under the bed. When we called back and told them our cat died they were completely unsympathetic, indifferent, and when Dr. H finally called back, said she "had never seen anything like this in 40 years. Why didn't they keep him until the blood work was complete, or load him with a higher dosage of the medication because he was a larger cat to prevent the seizures before they became fatal?! He was only 2 years old and if they were more specific about how much of a dosage we should have given him initially to get his treatment under way, or if they had given him some medication and enough of it to match his weight before we left the clinic, milo would still be with us today... TLDR: Dr Henderson doesn't care about your animals and if they die, Too bad, she doesn't know why and didn't care anyway. 40 years of veterinary practice for nothing!
