My cat, Kate, required monthly visits to Riverview. Each time we saw Dr. Schifo and vet tech, Hannah. They were both very helpful and kind to me and my pet. Dr. Schifo was upfront and honest throughout the whole process, making sure to keep me informed. Hannah is the sweetest and knew just how to keep my cat calm throughout a stressful process. After she passed, the clinic as a whole went above and beyond to send me their condolences. I HIGHLY recommend Riverview Veterinary Clinic and will definitely continue to use them for any future pets! Thank you! read more

Thank you for your feedback Yes I was upset and this not the first occasion either that the staff was rude to me also and not caring for the patient or pet owners. I knew the test took a long time that is why I waited 2 months for it. My pets worse condition had nothing to do with this wait I did originally. So please think what you want. When someone is that upset your job is to calm them done specially when it comes to a member of their family. In this case since my pets test results were worse he should of been put on meds the same day. Not when it's convenient for the Dr's to read it. After getting the results I knew what needed to be done and I'm not even a Dr. The cardiologist had it writing out what the next steps were. Thanks for the response but this response was completely false. I'm also glad I was able to get him on meds right away and already noticed a difference. So I'm happy with this new vet. Please next time take everything in conclusion before writing a review back. Thank you have a great day read more

Extremely disappointed in their service. The vets themselves are very good to the animals. However, I scheduled my dogs yearly check up and shots. They told me once we got there that she couldn't get her rabies shot until next month, but they can do that with her booster shots... perfect. So they charged me the exam fee the first time when we got her other shots ( Lyme, etc). We went back the following month for her booster shots and her rabies shot. They charged me for another exam fee even though she already had an exam the month prior. They said this is mandatory because she was getting her rabies shots. Needless to say, the right thing to do would have been to tell me wait until January when she could get all of her shots together and not make me pay two different exam fees. On a different note when I took my cat in to get declawed, the gave my sweet boy back to me with pee and poop all over him. They must have had him in a tiny cage and never cleaned it or cleaned him up. Never again!!!!! read more

Took our new puppy in for shots and to arrange for her to be spayed. Staff and the vet have been fantastic. Great service and you can tell they love their patients. So happy we have them a chance. read more

We go to Riverview for both of our pets, cat and dog. This may sound strange, but it always smells so good when I walk in, not what you'd expect for a vets office! I have nothing but great things to say about both of their Dr's. read more

Riverview vets & staff are fabulous! So professional & caring. They care well for my aging cats & young dog. They explain everything thoroughly & make good recommendations for pet care. My daughter uses them as well for her 2 dogs. read more

A little over 1 year ago, my small dog had a tick stuck on his bottom that we had a really hard time getting out. We had called several vet clinics in the area, including his existing vet, to ask if we would be able to bring him in to get the tick removed. All of those clinics offered visits several days out, which for a tick bite, is not ideal. Riverview clinic understood our urgency and offered to squeeze us in at the end of the day. Ever since, Dr. Schifo, Dr. Marion, and the rest of the clinic staff have taken such great care of our little guy and all of his ailments. He is not an easy dog to treat, and they do it with such concern and kindness. read more

Dr Marion performed double knee surgery on my two year old American Bulldog and did an amazing job! I was extremely anxious and he took extra time to make sure I knew all about what and why he was doing this and that I knew each step of the process. The total procedure cost even came in under the estimate since he only had to address one MCL. 3 days post surgery and we couldn't be happier! Dr Marion really cares about your pet don't hesitate to trust him with your fur baby! read more

Riverview is wonderful, my dog just had his surgery for his ACL and is doing well. Each knee was done here. Great experience with everyone here, highly recommended clinic. read more

Being a first dog owner, I was overwhelmed with picking the right vet, especially during COVID. I can not express how amazing the team at Riverview Vet Clinic goes above and beyond! Vanessa is so sweet and made my dog comfortable. He has separation anxiety but did amazing! He walked out so happy and could tell he was very well taken care of when I couldn't be in there. Dr. Marion took his time explaining all the vaccinations, behaviors, and concerns I had. I didn't feel rushed or uncared for at all which is so appreciated being a first time dog owner. They also knew a lot about my dog's breed, Havanese, which is comforting that he is in the right hands. I can't wait to bring Charlie back and continue using this amazingly kind and passionate team! I HIGHLY recommend them!! read more

We love Riverview Vet Clinic. We love the techs, the front desk, Dr Marion & Dr Schifo. They all treat your animals as their own. They take the time to answer all your questions, they get to know you & your pets. You always see Dr Marion or Dr Schifo, it's not a revolving door of different doctors & seeing someone new for every appointment like some vet practices. If you love your pets, bring them here. read more

Vets and vet techs are all professional and explain the plan of care. We are completely satisfied

My senior pibble has been to Dr. Marion and also had a brief consult with Dr. Schifo for her allergies. Both vets are very loving, smart, professional, and have great follow through. The people who work behind the desk and the vet techs are kind and always greet us with a smile . Dr Marion is the best vet I've ever been to! He is so compassionate and has handled all issues with my special senior girl wonderfully. I trust his judgement and the whole staff with all of our health concerns regarding our pooch. He goes out of his way to try to be there for us when problems arise by taking emergency calls after hours emailing and calling to check up. I can't say enough great things!! Thank you Riverview Veterinary Clinic. read more

I recently started going to Riverview Animal clinic back in September. I had an older dog who was having problems walking and going to the bathroom. I saw Dr Marion. I also brought my other dog Bear in as well and that time I saw Dr Shifo. All I can say is this is the best place to take your animals! They are kind and compassionate and really genuinely care about your animals! I was on Vacation with my family this week and we got some tragic news about our beloved pet Chucky and we ended up having to put him down. Dr Marion was the attending vet and I just want to say he is the best! He made feel comfortable and he was very caring! The front desk is so caring and awesome as well and the technicians who assist the Drs as well!! I will never go anywhere else! So if your in need of a great vet who cares about your pet as if it were theirs, please take your dog there! I promise you will get the best care. read more

Thank you so much for getting Vixen in right away and stitching up her paw. It meant to much to us to get her fixed up and back home sweet home. You're the best! read more

I've been going to Riverview for years now, and what make this place so special is they care. They care about your pet. You are not a dollar sign to them. You are a pet owner who loves the pets, and they see to it that the best care is given. From the front desk and up too the Vets, I can't say enough about how they truly care. read more

I just want to say thank you so much to the entire staff and Dr Schifo for your compassion and kindness the day we had to put our sweet dog Rocky down. Dr Schifo was amazing and walked us through the whole process while truly understanding what we were going through. I am so thankful to Vanessa the receptionist for recommending Riverview. She was so incredibly kind to me during this process and her support and kind heart was so greatly appreciated. It's made our loss easier knowing others truly cared. We are forever grateful to this office. Highly recommend using this vet if your looking for amazing care for your pet. read more

Kudos to Riverview and the entire team. I moved from the burbs to Newark and looking for a vet for my 5 year old lab with a bad knee. I was referred to other clinics, but after much research and a visit with Dr. Marion, the surgery was scheduled. I am so glad I did. Laila is now recovered and doing wonderful. The communication during these times was outstanding and the care they provided my girl was incredible. They are passionate, caring and delightful to speak with on the phone or during drop offs. Like others, our pets are family and we want the best care for them. If your that way, look no further. Check Riverview out, their Dr's and staff won't disappoint. We found a home for our pet care. Thank you Riverview Team ( Laila thanks you, too!). read more

I absolutely love this vet. I just had an appointment for our dog's annual check up. Dr. Schifo is wonderful. She takes the time to answer all my questions and gives a thorough check up. I never feel rushed. We have been to a few clinics in the past and this is, by far, the best. The receptionist was a doll, even when my dog decided to urinate on the desk! The technicians are wonderful as well. Compared to other clinics, their prices are very reasonable. I can't say enough good things about them! read more

I just finished my regular appts for my 2 year old westie and my 16 year old cat. This is my second year seeing Dr. Marion. Dr Marion continues to work with me and I was very pleased with both visits. Last week we took our dog Millie in and I was so happy with how our visit went. We hardly had to wait at all. The whole staff is great and Millie loves coming here. I really appreciate how Dr. Marion is careful about vaccines. He has her on a rotation so she gets her Rabies shot every three years and the other shots with Distemper/Parvo/ (and I forgot the other) also on an every 3 year rotation but not the same year as rabies. He also supports me premedicating with benedryl to help minimize or prevent reactions. Even with getting shots and a heart worm test Millie loved the visit, the staff is very gentle and caring. This morning I brought in my 16 year old cat who has a number of health issues and once again I was so happy with how the visit went. We were in and out quickly and Dr. Marion gave me some new foods to try since our biggest issue is getting him to eat and keeping his weight up. He is on some medications so we got refills as well as an exam and again no waiting. I really appreciate how Dr. Marion listens to my views and philosophy on my pets and respects me as a advocate for my pets. A+++ read more

We had just moved to IL and our dog Bailey was in need of a vet. The hardest thing after moving to a new state is finding a vet you can trust. Our dogs are our babies and we want the best for them. We saw an article about Riverview having just opened..the moment we walked in the door we knew we found the right veterinarian! Dr Marion has such a warm caring way about him and you see how much he cares. He explains everything and patiently answers all your questions and concerns. They stay up to date on new therapies..medicines and procedures. The entire staff go above and beyond to help you with the care of your babies. We now drive over an hour each way to have Dr Marion care for our dogs we trust him that much! read more

I have two older dachshunds with heart issues and have been looking for a good vet. I took them to Eola Point and Oswego and wasn't happy. At Eola one was roughly treated and at Oswego it just seemed they were too busy to really care. When I first called Riverview, the receptionist Vanessa was very understanding and got is in quickly for an appt with Dr Marion. I was impressed with Dr Marion's knowledge and he took the time to really listen and really seemed to care. He also sent us home with some samples of special dog food and didn't charge for them, which I thought was super nice as dogs can be picky eaters and he was budget conscious as well! Overall was a great experience and was super happy. I felt like I finally found that good vet! Unfortunately I am only giving four stars because I took my other dachshund in the next week and since Dr Marion was gone we were seen by Dr Schifo. I didn't get the same vibe from her and felt it was a bit rushed even though I had sat in the office for almost 40 mins waiting on her. I didn't mind since I know how things come up with our pets and visits take a bit longer sometimes. It just seemed when she got to me she was hurrying since she was behind. I also felt she got caught up on one issue he has and didn't really listen to my concerns and wanted to push expensive tests and medications. She sent me home with meds that were almost 4x the dose that my really sick other dog was taking and they weigh the same. Her response when I called back with concerns was she was just more aggressive in treatment than the last vet was. These are pills my dog will be on most of his life and is only showing possible signs of this illness. Why would we start aggressive? Anyways, everyone is super nice regardless so I would def recommend seeing Dr Marion. And perhaps Dr Schifo just had an off day so will try again. read more

We are new to Riverview Clinic as of this year. In this short time I've come to appreciate the professionalism and the caring attention to my pups from both Dr. and the staff. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Marion and Dr. Schifo. Dr. Marion was truly a godsend during my dog Mia's long battle with cancer. He (along with the entire staff) was so personable, compassionate, and kind through the whole ordeal. I'm so grateful she was able to fight bravely and ultimately pass peacefully. Their support and genuine care for my sweet girl's comfort meant so much to me. We've also used them for regular vet checkups for our cats who are high maintenance to say the least! All the staff are always so professional and nice with my zoo. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

Hands down these are the Best Vets in the western suburbs!! Dr Schifo and Dr Marion along with their staff are extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and caring about your pets. I would strongly recommend them , only if you want the Best care for your pets and they also have the best customer care skills!! Definitely give them a try!! read more

We recently moved to the area and were in need of a new vet for our pets, Diesel & Frankie. The office is brand new and comes equipped with state of the art technology. We have actually been to the office 3 times in the past 2 months. Dr. Marion along with the other vet techs I've met were amazing each time. Diesel required a tooth extraction, which the day leading up to his surgery and the day of his staff helped to put my mind to ease. Not only did Dr. Marion call to give me an update after surgery, but called to check on him the next day (my past several experiences with Diesel's surgeries, the vet had no contact with me). Their prices are set in line with what most charge, but the level of care surpasses the rest. I would most definitely recommend Riverview Veterinary Clinic! read more

The absolute best vet there is period. The entire staff is so caring and compassionate.

Vet is rude and thinks she knows every because she has a PHD be deal, I have had my dog for 14 years don't think a dog this old needs to loose 10 pounds. Funny VCA agreed with me and on other issues we have had here. Not say their horrible but I think a pet owner knows there own pet better then you would. read more

Dr. Schifo and Dr. Marion are THE BEST. They've been my vet since I got my Golden and 3 years later, I'm only leaving them because I'm moving out of state. I mean where else am I going to find a vet who will lay on the floor with my dog? Some vets can be condescending, but I never felt that way at Riverview. All the techs are amazing and everyone there cared for my dog as if she were their own. read more

We had an emergency with our dog yesterday and they were the only place that would take him immediately and NOT charge us an arm and leg. I really liked that they worked with us on what we would do for him (he had a fever and wasn't eating). So it was nice to have different levels of care based on what we wanted to do. They are very reasonable and also don't just push a bunch of stuff at you for $$$. After getting a quote for an office visit, I was HIGHLY impressed that they phoned me back to let me know that the amount was more (instead of 30, 45) to make sure that we knew. I know we've found our new vet! read more

I have been going to Riverview for two years now. We have been there for regular check ups as well as an emergency and love the staff. From the time you walk into the office to you walk out friendly professional staff. Best care for your pet. read more

Newly accredited AAHA hospital, not impressed. I have heard foul language from the doctor who clearly does not realize the walls are paper thin. If you want someone who will get easily frustrated with your dog or be so matter of fact that it is RUDE, take your pet here. read more

The Best Veterinary Clinic Experience in 30 years of owning multiple pets! The entire staff and Drs. provide the most exemplary medical treatment and all in a loving and compassionate environment. So much so, that our cat, Oscar, was in for a follow-up visit and ran out of the exam room to his cat condo in the clinic where he received prior treatment. Both Dr. Schifo and Dr. Marion are highly skilled diagnosticians and provide a superior level of animal care. Thank you again to everyone at Riverview Clinic! read more

We recently switched vet clinics after unsatisfactory service and care from our previous clinic. Riverview Veterinary Clinic was the best choice we made. Customer service is terrific, pet care is immediate and with care. Highly recommended! read more

Today we lost our beloved kitty who was with our family for over 11 years. Our kitty was hiding from us and not eating or drinking. We took him to this vet to see what was going on with him and kept him overnight to run tests and see what the problem was. When he was picked up from the overnight stay she said he ate good for them and didn't think he had anything serious wrong. She said he would start eating again when he felt hungry and seemed more interested in selling us cat food then telling us how to get him healthy again. To us she came across as condescending and not willing to listen to what we had to say about our beloved family member. We took him home thinking he would get better. We realized to late he wasn't getting better and wished we had taken him to another vet for another opinion of what was wrong with him. We will have to think long and hard about taking our other kitty back to this vet. read more

We had recently moved here from SC and needed a vet ASAP when our dog was having health issues. We went to a vet in Oswego after a reccomendation....they said Bailey needed surgery for a Perianal Adenoma benign tumor, estimate was $800.00 to $1500.00. The vet was nice but didn't try to bond with my baby. So the entire time we were there he was trying to get behind me. SO I went on a search for a second opinion. Riverview had great reviews so we decided to go to check them out. When Dr Marion walked in the room he immediately tried to put Bailey at ease and sat on the floor beside him patting him and talking soothingly to him. Bailey gave him KISSES....that was a big deal...Bailey's stamp of approval. I brought the estimate and test results from the first vet for comparison. Dr Marion agreed that Bailey needed the surgery but couldn't understand how they could justify the estimate. We scheduled the surgery for later in the week. My husband dropped Bailey off at 7:30 am Thursday am, at 10:30 I got a call saying all was well no problems and the tech was sitting with Bailey in recovery...she was totally smitten with my baby and said she'd be with him till he was up and moving around. Dr Marion and staff put Bailey's needs #1...who could ask for more. Bailey's recovery went fantastic, 10 days later we went for suture removal. Again Dr Marion put Bailey at ease before doing anything...COMPLETE success on tumor removal. We've been back 6 times for various things in the past 4 months with both dogs...I get more and more impressed with the Drs and staff. I was looking for vets that gave my dogs as much attention and care as my kids had with their pediatrician. I know my dogs are well cared for...who could ask for anything more. read more
