    This used to be such a wonderful facility. After my cat became super ill and needed emergency surgery, RVH waited TWO whole days before telling me they didn’t have a surgeon to perform the kidney surgery before recommending I go to another animal hospital. I’m so lucky my cat didn’t die in those 2 days and it is so incredibly medically irresponsible for them to have taken their time without providing me the information I needed to save my cat’s life. PLEASE find another veterinarian in the area for your pet’s benefit.

    I would give this place 0 stars if possible. We went there for routine shots covered by insurance and left paying over $500 out of pocket. Nothing explained. Was told my dog needed medication, which was not the issue, I got charged $200 out of the $500 for the visit, which again was routine. Then they threw in 2 bags of treats to put the pills in, in the bag with the pills, which wasn’t comped, they were an extra $24 which I found out once I received my receipt.

    We’ve been bringing our dog Mugsy here for years. We had an appointment for a vaccine and were turned away for being 5 mins late. Do yourself a favor and find a different vet that cares more about the animals they treat and their customers.

    Best veterinarians. They are on the forefront of medicine and laser technology. It's great to feel confident that my dog will get the best care and treatment should the need arise. I also had a previous dog that had to be put down as he had inoperable tumors, had quit eating and was 15 yrs. old. Doctors and staff were so compassionate and comforting to me during this time and I was grateful for this as well.

    The Veterinarians at Ridgewood Veterinary Hospital really cared for our both our Guinea Pig Marshmellow and Love Bird Peaches. We highly recommend all the Vets there.
