Been coming here for about 20 years now . The Dr's are wonderful and really care . I have never thought they rushed thru any appointment . They really spend the time with you to talk and make sure you understand things if necessary. Betty out front is wonderful also. Read Less

I have to tell you about the worst veterinarian I have ever used. I have gone with them till now. The place was dirty, I was charged 426.$$For the same service as last year at 61.50.       I hold my own pets, no  tech services at allI had to tell her to hold one dogs leash so I could put the other dog on the scales. Can they justify 426.$$ from 61.50? Gosh I can't even give them a star. They will probably delete, that's how they roll.            Don't put your pet and self through. Read Less

I was referred to Dr. Heeren by another family member. Today was Lucy's(my dog) yearly examination and she was calm compared to being very anxious at Abel Keppy.She had 2 shots, blood work and 2 separate draws of her lymphomas. I found out today that she didn't have cancer. Soooo happy and greatful for an awesome experience! I would definitely recommend Dr. Heeren and River Bend Animal Clinic to everyone! !Read Less

Dr Keener is the best.he is so sweet and gentle. Always talks to my dogs. And Sheila the office manager is the best ever. She truely cares about every pet who comes thru the doors. Betty loves animals and it shows on her face and in her voice. And their groomer is awesome. I will not take my dogs anywhere else to be groomed. I give the whole place a 5 star rating. Prices competetative with all the rest. Read Less

While the people at River Bend were kind and courteous, I feel that they fell short when I really needed them. I brought my 12 year old Border Collie in on January 21st for a Pyometra surgery, but after 10 days and two more visits, she still wasn€t eating or drinking on her own. Seven days after the surgery she wasn€t eating or drinking on her own and was getting weak and dehydrated so I brought her in before her scheduled staple removal appointment. She got Baytril after another blood test. Two days later at the staple removal, Dr. Keener wasn€t convinced that she still had an infection, but said he didn€t know why she still wasn€t eating. She got a shot of Rimadyl, as well as five days prescription because he said it might improve her appetite. He also prescribed a high protein diet€saying that she just needed to eat more. She ate better for a couple of days, but then she was back to being listless and me spoon feeding her. When the Rimadyl and antibiotic ran out she was worse. It was two weeks by that time. She had been to River Bend three times in ten days and they still hadn€t figured out what was wrong with her besides the Pyometra. Their receipt did say that Rimadyl occasionally causes nausea or loss of appetite. She already had these symptoms when he saw her, though. On February 7th I took her to another vet for a second opinion. After a new blood test and exam and comparison with the previous tests she was given subQ liquids to fight the dehydration, a new antibiotic and a steroid called Prednisone. By the end of the next day she was better! Eyes bright and playing with puppies! Rehydration was huge and the steroid they prescribed made her thirsty and extremely hungry so she€s getting her strength back. She€s playing with me again is getting back to her old self. I called River Bend on February 8th and let them know what happened and that I felt my dog had been misdiagnosed and given the wrong meds. My little friend had almost died because they didn€t look closely enough at the symptoms and her condition. I won€t be back. Read Less
