Dr Rivera and his staff are wonderful to us and to our kids. We take our two dogs and cats for annual checkups and if they're ill. Our older Kai Ken dog felt very strongly about NOT having a necessary blood lab drawn. Dr Rivera came into the waiting room where we were and was non-plussed about her scratching him and trying to bite him. He treats them all most professionally and explains any findings to us so we understand, instead of taking down to us in "Doctor-ese". There are not enough words to recommend 4 Paws.

When it comes to the health/care of my Zoey, I don't trust anyone other than Dr Rivera. He helped us when she was in an accident last year and also recently when she had to have a tumor removed. Zoey isn't just my pet, but also the closest thing to a child and I know she's in great hands whenever she's there. I don't mind driving the distance from Ventura to Santa Paula, as long as I know she's taken care of. Read Less

I have been taking my cats to Dr Rivera since he was at Banfield and would never take them anywhere else.  He is extremely intelligent and has taken great care of my cats, especially in their last days:'(The girls at the front desk are nice and helpful.  My only wish is that he was closer, but still worth the drive for me.  Every time I go I know my cat is in great hands:) Read Less

Beware. Brought my old dog in for simple procedure. Discussed not anestitising him with doc. Said we want local anesthesia. Because he is too old. Picked him up completely knocked out. He never recovered we had to put him down. Dont go here Read Less

We were at a loss as to what to do with our beloved family dog. He was close to death with kidney failure and we didn't have the money to give him the care he needed. Dr. Kelly and his staff worked with us, knowing our limits financially, and they helped us do what we could to make our dog better. It was a gamble, but it was one we were willing to take. Our dog is doing great and it's due to the love and care he received not only at home, but at the dr. office as well. Thank you to all of you at Four Paws, you have no idea how much we appreciate all you did for our family. Read Less
