Riverside Veterinary Clinic

Riverside Veterinary Clinic is a family-owned, independent practice that says it has been treating pets since 1988. Recent reviews repeatedly name Dr. Reza Sadeghi and describe outcomes in tricky, longer-running problems as well as urgent issues—for example, successful management of a dog’s atopic dermatitis, and removal of a grass seed from a cocker spaniel’s nose during what the owner described as their first emergency in years. Several owners also mention the small, quieter feel of the practice, which they found helpful for nervous or elderly pets, and that the team takes time to explain treatment plans and answer questions.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Reza Sadeghi and his team for their exceptional care. After years of struggling to manage our border collie’s atopic dermatitis, Dr. Sadeghi successfully provided treatment that has transformed our dog. Can't thank Dr. Reza Sadeghi and the practice enough!

Very good veterinary practice all the staff are lovely, kind, friendly, caring and professional. I have been taking my little dog there for a few years now and I would highly recommend them. It is a small practice but this is perfect for my elderly dog as it is rarely full of people

Thank you so much to Dr Reza for successfully removing a grass seed from our cocker spaniels nose. It was our first medical emergency in 4 years (and hopefully the last) but Dr Reza and team looked after her perfectly. Couldn't wish for a better service! Thank you 😊

The best vet practice around without a doubt! They genuinely care. We thought we were losing our little 10 year old Pom at Christmas. We went to specialists after he started having seizures with his heart stopping. After every test going they still had no answers. Were recommended to Reza and his team and straight away Reza recognised the problem. Within 2 months all his levels have come down and our little doggy is sooo much better. Today he was running round like a puppy!!! Can not thank them enough and I will be forever grateful. All so friendly and welcoming. Thank you x

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Riverside Veterinary Clinic! Every visit, their team goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care for my cat, Reggie. From the moment we walk in, we’re greeted with warm smiles and genuine kindness. The staff is always so friendly, helpful, and supportive, making both me and my cat feel at ease. They take the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and ensure I fully understand any treatment plans or recommendations. It’s clear they truly care about the well-being of every animal they see. My cat tends to get nervous at the vet, but the team at Riverside is so patient and gentle, creating a calm and positive environment. I’m so grateful for their professionalism and dedication. Riverside Veterinary has earned my trust completely, and I wouldn’t take my furry friend anywhere else! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets. Absolutely wonderful clinic!!
