    The vet took care of my bird when she lost her companion and was going through depression and anxiety over it. She was very weak and wasn't very responsive. A holiday was coming up during the weekend and he stayed with my bird throughout the holiday. The vet was very calm and supportive of my concerns and worry. She did pluck her feathers out under her chest and was missing her companion. A year later she is flying around, singing and feathers all grew back. It was due to losing her companion and he helped her along and to take her away from the environment for a while to grieve. Thank you for saving her and she is a back to singing and talking away. Paulina is the bird he helped me save. I think its been a year to date. Great vet and supportive staff.

    Cute exterior! To the left of Homestyle pizza right where Union and Regent St. cross .

    I buy all my dogs' medicines here. Their prices are less than most other places and the stuff is very helpful and very nice.

    I honestly can't believe how heartless River Road Animal Hospital turned out to be. I've been…read morebringing my dog here as a patient, but after today, I will never return. I arrived 30 minutes before they even opened because my dog was experiencing severe anal bleeding -- an emergency by any reasonable standard. There were no other cars or clients waiting, and yet I was told they wouldn't see her without an appointment and the soonest available time was over two hours later. It's absolutely heartbreaking and frustrating to know that a veterinary office, where compassion and urgency should come first, refused to even evaluate a bleeding dog simply because of scheduling convenience. There was no effort to triage, no concern, no basic decency to at least check if she was in critical condition. If this is how they treat established patients in distress, I can only imagine what kind of care (or lack thereof) others might receive. Do better, River Road Animal Hospital -- pets deserve compassion, not cold policy.

    They're great with the animals but absolutely terrible with the owners...rude and obnoxious (front…read morestaff and techs) vets are outstanding...the office manager loves to be a dictator and toss in ridiculous and uncalled for policies...if you are going to add policies, post them on your website. If you dont follow their added policies-be prepared to get kicked out of the practice. I gave them nearly 13 years of my life and tons upon tons of money. Once they kick you out...dont expect to get added medications until you find a new vet...they will allow your animals to suffer!

    I had a kitty that had lung cancer which they took the radiographs, the results showed it was too…read morefar advanced to treat and she was given abt 2 months to live which was fairly close to when I had to put her to sleep. I went there that morning after she threw up blood tinged vomit and was hiding in the corner. I knew it was time I called and was told bring her in asap it was a Saturday at 10 and when I arrived the receptionist told me Dr Hernas was mad at her for telling me to come in since she was the only one there and hated putting animals to sleep. I get it it's not easy but really my cat was terminal !!! After examining her she said she seems fine gave me meds for the vomiting and treats and take her home. Well needless to say I ended up taking her to an emergency hospital and she was put to sleep that day !! They were incredible there such compassion !!! It is exactly a year ago today. I will never go there again !!! I had a previous kitty that Dr Alan saw and was great. Dr Hernas is very rough around the edges. No vet should ever get mad at the office staff for having an emergency that may require someone's beloved pet put down. Heartless !!! I miss my baby so much it was so hard to do but how we were treated was so unprofessional !!! Go somewhere else !!!

Naturally he ran. They chased him around the room, caught him in a towel and proceeded to do their "check" roughly. The cat was in panic mode as they checked his mouth, prying his mouth open and almost getting bit ( i wouldve bit too). In comparison i now take my animals to Cornerstone which is wonderful. Very very gentle, felloway towels, calm, professional staff. They allowed him to come out of carrier on his own. Gentle nail clipping, etc. The cat was so calm I couldnt believe it was the same one.

    Great Animal hospital from my experience…read more I only went there for a check up for my cat but it seemed like a nice facility. Plenty of parking, nice reception area, large exam room. The vet took her time with me and I did not feel rushed at all. I was surprised that I had to ask her to take the cat's temperature but other than that I was very happy with the experience.

    For context, I have been with this practice for 15 years and last Friday, they acted like they had…read moreno idea who I was, which was really odd as I am there monthly to get my other cat a over $100 arthritis shot. Not only was my older cat misdiagnosed (after bloodwork and xrays and idk what, I got a nearly $900 bill) and I was told that my cat seemed to have a mass and that if it was a mass it was probably cancer. I was advised to have an ultrasound and had to wait a week to find out if the cat would die. At the appointed time I presented, and there was a weird vibe in there as there was some sort of emergency. They should have just cancelled appts. I was told I would have to wait aobut 30 minutes. No big deal. I understood there was an animal back there who needed their help. So I wait in the cat section which is kind of a joke as the cat and dog area are separated by a half wall. There were two dogs that were completely out of control, barking and growling with owners not making the least effort to calm them or take them outside so my cat didn't have to be even more stressed. I couldn't put my little guy, who I thought was dying, through 30 minutes of that he was cowering and shaking and was already stressed. So I waited outside where they had benches for that purpose and it was a gorgeous day. The first dog was taken into a room so I went back inside. Next dog comes in and he is even worse and owner could not have been less engaged and on her phone. No attempt to comfort or help her stressed animal. Now if your kid was having a tantrum, you'd take them away from people and help the calm down. So as I exited, I said to her in a low, calm voice "you really should be the one going outside. Not me." I reach the 2nd door of the vestibule and this woman runs out and starts SCREAMING at me. She was on my heels. I turned around and she was inches from my face pointing her findger in my face. Told her to get that finger out of my face and back off. She then bent over to put her face near the carrier and scream "I hope you die." That pushed me over the edge and I did call her a pejorative term. She began screeming "hit me! hit me!" Despite wanting to, I did not because I am an adult. Then two receptionists came out and yelled at me! Saying I should have just kept walking out. So I walked out and waited on the bench. She spoke with the woman inside for a few minutes and then she left with her dog. I was taken to a room with my cat. I was shaking and discussed what had happened with that woman with the tech who was very kind. She said the ultrasound would take 90 minutes and they were dealing with an emergency, so he probably would not be done until 3. I hated leaving him there but went to run some errands (only noon and I live 25 minutes away.) Not 5 minutes later I was called and told that I had not signed the consent form. I replied I had not been asked to and gave verbal consent over the phone. I will acknowledge that I was edgy when she told me I was consenting to hospitalization which has a fee. I replied that he was waiting as they were behind and that it felt like I was being robbed blind having spent $900 there the week before. An hour later I received a call from the reception supervisor that I was being released from the practice due to the altercation with another customer. I was astounded. I attempted to explain that I was accosted. I was told it was not my place to say anything. Then she said i was also rude to the person who called me and I never gave consent. I asked if I could speak to one of the doctors who owned the clinica and she said no. Then she told me they would not treat my cat as a result and that I should come get him. I was flabbergasted. I returned to get my cat and spoke to the supervisor who I had never seen before and would not let me speak to anyone else. I was not yelling. I was actually crying and begging her to let my cat have the ultrasound and not take it out on a animal. Nope. I was handed a list of 4 practice that did the ultrasound and was sent with my cat on my way. They have signs all over the place saying if you use abusive language, inappropriately touch staff or make sexual comments you would be removed from the practice. I didn't do any of those things. I saw one of the doctors in the lot and tried to talk to him. JHe had taken care of my cat for year. He would not even look at me and said he would have to find out what was going on later when he was out of surgery, I found Capital District Veternarian Referal Hosptial in Latham. They were great. The vet said there was no mass and she believed that it was a layer of fat pressing on a large ligament. She also diagnosed him with stage 2 kidney disease, which the inexperienced vet said was early kidney disease. Somehow he just developed it over night as he was there and got blood work twice in the the previous month. So he was misdiagnosed and I and my family spent a week mouring that our cat was dying.
