River Valley Animal Center

Dr Sachdev is not only an intuitive veterinarian but a kind, caring man dedicated to helping people care for their pets. I started with him back in the mid ‘80’s, with a plethora of pets over the years; left for a while due to time/ location but am so grateful to be back over the last 8 years. Dr’s experience & skillset helped me keep my DaisyMae (with chronic thyroid issues) healthy till it was time for her to have eternal rest at 18.7 years old. Huge shout out for Katie and Jenna who are always on their game despite the busy and often chaotic front end, they do the hard work with dedication to pets and their owners. We adopted Marco, a shelter/rescue kitty they had housed for a year and we look forward to continuing our journey there at River Valley.

Upon entering the facility you will see the massiveness of the structure. I visit the facility at least twice a month as my two dogs are taking very well care of. The staff at the front desk is very attentive to your needs and are very quick to get you into an exam room. I think this is because there is no seating in the lobby area which is confusing as there is enough space for a lot of seating. Once you're in the exam room wait time is variable I guess it all depends on what's going on with emergencies which is understandable. But 95% of the time the technician arrives Within 5 minutes. The doctor's very very knowledgeable and with ever -changing medical advances I can see that they're eager to learn, follow up, and provide as much knowledge as they can. Price wise as with any medical pr

Not great with communication! I booked an appointment to get 2 cats vaccinated and after waiting 15 min a room with no one telling me they would be runnnig a little behind, I was informed that the cats would first need an exam. I explained I did not need an exam and only needed the vaccinations. I was then told it is STATE LAW that they perform an exam (For $100 each!!) before they can administer a rabies vaccine. A quick Google search proved that FALSE! They also failed to mention this cost when I booked the appointment. I am sure the vet services are fine, but I recommend asking upfront what they plan to charge you. Had I not asked, my visit would have been almost $300!!

We have been going to Dr. Sashev for over 12 yrs. & trust him with our fur babies. All the people there are always kind and caring. My dog had knee surgery and a wonderful recovery. Always clean and well kept exam rooms. Great Veterinary Care Center

I was able to get in here for an emergency visit with one of my dogs when I couldn't get in with my own vet on 2 occasions. First time didn't care for the vet but 2nd time I actually liked the vet a lot. I would consider transferring if I could get that vet every time. Front desk is also pretty unfriendly.
