Riverstone Animal Hospital

Riverstone Animal Hospital is simply exceptional at what they do. A family member referred me here after hearing how much we paid for normal procedures at our original vet's office in Belleville (she worked there in high school). Riverstone serves farm animals as well as household pets, but I'm still not sure how they can afford to charge SO much less than several local veterinarian offices. Not only does my wallet hurt less for going to Riverstone, but there's absolutely no quality sacrificed- it's just the opposite. Most recently, we brought in our puppy for his first vet visit and shots. We asked ahead of time if we could bring our other dog so the puppy felt comforted. They were totally accommodating, let us bring both dogs in, and put us in a larger room with a window so it didn't feel so cramped. Not only was the puppy comforted by having her sister there; but our older dog had a positive experience complete with treats, good scratchins, and no shots- hopefully leaving her with a better impression of the vet. Heather and Dr. Julie cared for our pup on our most recent visit and both were very knowledgeable, caring, informative, and professional in their service. Our family is confident that we're receiving the best care at Riverstone. The space is clean and efficient, and even offers some extra nice touches that make Riverstone stand out from their competition. Outside the front door is a space where pet parents can pick up prescriptions (I think they started this during covid to minimize interactions), beautiful flowers bordering the front door, a coffee and tea station fully equipped with a Keurig and mini fridge fully stocked with water bottles (I enjoyed one of my favorite drinks while waiting for the vet to come back), and an Alexa device to play your choice of music in the room.

The staff & Dr. Julie are amazing. They answer my questions & educate me as we go. True blessings to have as a vet!

I greatly appreciate the expertise and care given to my mare, and I am so grateful we have such great equine veterinarians in our area. The care and compassion provided by Dr. Julie have been amazing - she is thorough and provides the horse owner with valuable education while practicing with the latest equine evidence-based treatments, and I am so thankful for her!

I can’t express how amazing this place is!!!!!!! I had a stray kitten on the edge of dying and I called every vet and this was the only one that told me to come in. It was a Saturday in the middle of the day so I wasn’t expecting the luck but thankfully they made it happen. They went above and beyond and saved the little baby. I would recommend this vet to anyone and I think I will switch all my animals over to them!!! Thank you!!!

Saved my kitten with surgery the same day we took her in. My vet held her for 2 days... They also fit her in for a minor complication a week later when my vet couldn't fit her in. Everyone was professional and sympathetic. Glad I know where to go if needed again.
