This wasn't my usual vet because I don't live in the area but I had to come in with my dog for an emergency visit and they were amazing! They were so quick to act and knowledgable about how to handle the whole ordeal. Super kind and calm, it couldn't have been handled any better. Thank you for giving my pup the absolute best care today! Read Less

Dr Bostick is an amazing find. After dragging 4 dogs across town to the vet I had been using, I decided to give the vet in the small unassuming office in the Vinings Kroger shopping center a try. She was a real find!!  I have had 13 dogs so far, so I have used many vets and have a solid basis for comparison. She is the best vet I have ever used for my pets.  She is a very sharp diagnostician and well respected by her peers. I have had occasion to use veterinary specialists, and when I mention her name the vets there say "Oh yes, she's wonderful." She always explains everything fully and precisely. She has a great rapport with her patients of course. On top of all that, when I had to go into the hospital on an emergency basis myself and could not find a pet sitter, I called her office for a recommendation. She asked me to give her a few minutes. When she called back, it was to say that a pet sitter she recommended was already on her way to my house!     Now that's not just a vet, that's a friend. Obviously, I can't say enough good things about her.... Read Less

Doesn't do sliding scales for rescues. Found two tortoises that needed to be checked out before they could go to a foster home, and was told it would be $63 each tortoise for the exam. I explained my financial situation and even offered to surrender the tortoises so they could be seen, and the receptionist was heartless. They couldn't even take $20 off the price of the exam. These people don't care about animals if it doesn't make them money. I know it's far, but check out Marietta Vet Clinic. Prices are reasonable and Dr. P truly cares about your pet like his own.

I have been going to Dr. Bostick for about 20 years now.  I live in East Point and drive my dogs up to Vinings, which is a huge inconvenience, but Dr. Bostick and her staff (hello Sarah!) are worth it.  Everyone here is genuinely kind and caring- one of my dogs is quite squirmy and difficult and they are great and very patient with him.  They don't push extra or unnecessary services on me and, knowing how far away I live, they do whatever they can to help minimize the trips I need to take up there.  They make you feel like family and that they care about your pets as much as you do.  All in all, I find them to be the perfect vet.

Dr Bostick and her staff took good care of my cat for her routine checkup and rabies shot. I was seen immediately and they seemed genuinely interested in taking care of my cat and making sure I knew the best options. The prices are reasonable and they don't push any treatments you aren't ready to pay for. Read Less

My green cheek conure was in dire distress on a Friday afternoon. The Vet Clinic West has an avian vet but I couldn't get him to The Vet Clinic in time. I was referred to Dr. Bostick by The Vet Clinic. The Riverview staff and Dr. Bostick couldn't have been nicer. They took Charlie in and put him on oxygen immediately. Saturday morning, Dr. Bostick called me with a prognosis...guarded. Saturday afternoon, she called again. Sunday morning, when they are normally closed, Dr. Bostick called me again. This time the news wasn't good. Monday morning, Dr. Bostick told me that I should come by. She put her arm on my shoulder and we made the decision that the fight was over. Three days later, I received a sympathy card from the staff with a picture of my "Charlie" on the front. Now, I have two baby conure "twins", Charlie and Fidget. They went in for their six month checkup. The entire staff greeted me and Dr. Bostick examined both birds. "See, things worked out in the end didn't they? I'm glad you have these little birds and I look forward to helping you anytime you need us." LOVE these folks! Read Less

Best vet I have had in a while.  The staff and Doctor were all incredibly caring people. There was no push for upgrades and unnecessary medications or vaccines. They cared about the animal! Which you'd think wouldn't be such a miracle but it seems now a days it is at most money hungry vets. This was not one of those and they really made a stressful experience better as best they could.  Prices were very reasonable!  Keep up the good work guys! I will be returning here with other creatures of mine. =)They also fit me in the same day that I called!As an update now that I've been a few times: Dr. Boznic is nice but there is an air of attitude with her. And for some reason something tells me she doesn't like cats. If this is true why on earth is she a vet. I have been to prob a dozen vets if not more in my lifetime with one cat or the other in many states. I have never in my life seen a vet or their techs handle cats the way they do here. Extremely and very unnecessarily rough. Like jaw droppingly so. I heard my cat who is insanely friendly and who let's you do anything to her, make sounds I've never heard in her entire life. I've NEVER EVER seen anyone handle a cat so rough in my life. It was completely uncalled for. I don't think I will be returning here any longer. My gut tells me something is off with the Dr and the way she and her tech, but specifically her, have handled my cat - no thank you. When I was told bad news about one of my animals I started to tear up, ya know because I'm human and she said, "what am I saying exactly that's upsetting you? " in the weirdest tone. What is wrong with you?I assure you I'm not being sensitive to normal vet examination of a feline. I again, have never had any cat I've ever owned handled as rough as they do here. There may not be malicious intent but it's not how I want my furbabies treated. Read Less

We chose Riverview Veterinary Hospital as our first bird vet. We liked it because it was close to us, and a few bird owners recommended us to here. Their office looks very clean and steril. Everyone acts professionally here. Although I think they might act too professional and clinical. Maybe that's good or maybe that's not as good. Who knows? That depends on the pet owners.Riverview does not specialize in birds or exotic animals. They cater to all animals like cats and dogs.  I could tell they weren't as experienced dealing with birds compared to other vets who specialize in birds. For example, they needed a towel handle my bird. At other avian vets, they didn't need to do that. Then again, I'm not sure if that's their policy to towel all birds.Also, the assistant that trimmed my bird's nails cut them too short and made my bird bleed.  She should've known baby birds have long kwiks and can bleed if they cut too much. It looks like another example of their inexperience with birds. I noticed something weird during one visit. When the Doctor came in with several assistants, one of the assistants looked very young and was dressed in street clothes. That looked weird and uncomfortable because he looked like some young punk that invaded our examination room to see what we were doing. Maybe he was just a student who forget his lab coat. Oh well. He just looked very out of place.They are courteous, friendly and professional. They also have give-aways with basket of goodies for your pets. We actually won one. Just for that, they get another .25 star. Read Less

I've relied on Riverview for help with several pets ranging from a rescued ferret to dogs and kittens. Costs are very reasonable and the location is particularly convenient. The staff kept me well updated on progress at times when overnight stays or operations were needed. I always feel I'm putting my pets in good hands with Dr. Bostick and Riverview. Read Less

I just took my dog here the other day.  Overall it was a good experience.  She had some really bad gas (the dog not the doctor) and they were very careful not to embarrass her.  She actually just went in for a heart worm test.  While not overly friendly (I'm used to my vet in Athens) they were quick, thorough, professional, and didn't charge an outrageous price.  I think it was $117 for her test and the heart worm medication.

I highly recommend Riverview Veterinary Clinic if you want to make an already devastating decision to euthanize your pet even more devastating and degrading.  My 14-year old daughter and I drove 45 miles to this Exotic Animal Clinic with the sole intention of putting our precious Guinea Pig, Bella, down as it was extremely obvious to us as her owners that she was going to pass away very shortly.  She was between 5-7 years old, and very close to the end of her natural life (as far as Guinea Pigs go), had lost half of her body weight during the past week, had a severe respiratory infection and could barely breathe, and had severe stiffening of her joints and some sort of seizure that morning.  I called the first Exotic Pet Vet I could find in the book, and unfortunately called Riverview Veterinary Hospital to see how much it would cost to euthanize our pet and was told $10.00.  We did not want to see her suffer any longer and drove the almost hour long drive to get here there as quickly as we could so she could be out of her misery.  My daughter and I wrapped up our poor pet in a warm blanket and rubbed her head and talked to her during the whole 45-minute ride there.  That's about the time the beauty ended.  The minute we walked in, I felt as though we were being persecuted for daring to assume that a euthanization was in order before the great DOCTOR BOSTICK had her opportunity to do a thorough examination on Bella.  She was practically looking at a  Guinea Pig that was dying before our eyes - her eyes were vacant (and so were the pig's), and she was stiff (and so were the pig's), and Bella was skinny and frail (the doctor wasn't).  I explained to the doctor that she lost 1/2 her body weight over the past week or so and woke up with the respiratory infection that morning.  The whole time her staff was coming in and out of the room, slamming things around and shaking their heads as though we were heathens for even considering putting an animal to sleep without even trying to treat her.  Mind you, she gave us a 'fair' diagnosis with extensive treatment and could obviously make no guarantees.  Well I was sure the poor animal was already close to the end of her life.  She was a mere shell of the pet we had just 48-hours before - our loveable Bella who would jump up to greet us in the morning looking for her spinach with her bright happy eyes, was no longer with us, seeminly overnight.  We woke up to a catatonic Guinea Pig who was having trouble breathing - every breath was a horrible effort, she was stiff and crying out in pain as we held her, and she had a seizure.  We knew our pet and that she was dying and that's why we made the decision to euthanize her.  Dr. Bostick used this as her opportunity to demand that she do an examination to the tune of $38.00 and then proceeded to charge us an additional $20.00 to euthanize our pet.  She and her staff shook their heads disparagingly at us the entire time, questioned what we fed our pet, and made us feel more horrible than we did when we arrived.  There is -0- empathy in that office from anyone - it was all a business transaction and geared to make the "Great Doctor" more money.  Well I'll tell you - if she makes more money, I suggest that she use it on a cleaning and disinfecting company to clean her filthy exam rooms.  They were extremely unsanitary and I would have never brought a healthy pet in to see her for that very reason.  She knows nothing about me or my family, our dedicated love to our pets is a top priority in our home.  We have three dogs that live inside with us, and a horse that we board.  We spend well over $1500/mo on our pets and would not begrudge them a penny of it for there care - they get the best foods/toys and lots of love and so did Bella.  When given the choice if we wanted to take Bella's remains home with us or they "could dispose of it there", of course we chose to take her home and bury her with Wilma and Charlie, our Parakeets.  We had a nice little burial for her and tried to shake off the pure unprofessional and unempathetic service we received at Riverview Veterinary Hospital on Cobb Parkway.  Think twice about taking your pet there please - there are too many wonderful vets in this city than for you to be manipulated, used and abused by these people.  Lisa Tedeschi Read Less
