Riordan Dennis Dvm

Ankeny, Iowa
General Info
Riordan Dennis Dvm in Ankeny constructs every veterinary session by synchronizing with the animal's energy rhythm. The clinic enters a state of suspension whenever movement decelerates. The plan changes when posture shifts. This rhythm-based care resonates throughout Iowa. Every visit initiates with calibration: observers record the pet's entry style, orientation speed, and eye movement patterns whether steady or flickering. Care emerges through mirrored behavior patterns from that starting point. Whenever a cat coils its body the staff members take a backward step. A canine when beginning to lean advances softly in a forward direction. Touch waits without haste until readiness indicators confirm stability. Silence is used frequently and interaction contrast is planned: stillness after sound light after dim space after proximity. Riordan Dennis Dvm delivers medical services in dermatology alongside nutritional optimization and joint health while providing disease detection and pain management. They employ decision trees instead of forced sequences so when alertness levels increase diagnostic processes halt. The state of calmness intensifies and their actions persist. Through this logic historically anxious animals manage to complete exams without entering a downward spiral. Discharge protocols are designed to reflect signals that dictate when to approach or withdraw interaction and how to employ rhythmic activities such as meals or walks to reestablish balance. Families obtain guidance on managing emotional rhythms alongside medical aftercare. The delicate adjustments transform the homecoming experience into genuine return instead of a clinical reverberation. Riordan Dennis Dvm delivers a veterinary approach throughout Iowa from Ankeny that prioritizes listening before speaking, reflection before handling, and response before prescription.

I've taken my cat to multiple veterinarians over the years and while they've all been acceptable, the Ankeny Vet Clinic is second to none and truly makes you feel like family. Before I found them, I had just taken my cat to his usual vet for a regular checkup and was told that he had gingivitis, would need to have two of his teeth removed, and then was promptly given a cost estimate for surgery. With nothing but perfect checkups in the past, I was skeptical and ended up going to the Ankeny Vet Clinic to get a second opinion. We met with Dr. Dennis Riordan who explained that with my cat's breed it's not unusual for them to have a genetic predisposition toward developing gingivitis at a young age (6) and that my cat's teeth weren't bad yet. He told me that while extraction was an option and probably a necessity in the future, another option was a weekly oral rinse to reduce the infection and slow the progression of gingivitis so my cat could keep his teeth for a few more years. And here we are now, my cat's teeth are 100% intact, his gums look much better, and I didn't have to pay someone to remove two perfectly healthy teeth. Dr. Riordan was awesome and it really seems like he cares and wants the best for every animal that comes through his office. That level of personal attention isn't something you can find just anywhere! Read Less

My family has been bringing our pets to the Riordan Vet Clinic for years now. The quality and reliability of their service has always been top notch. They know what they're doing, take pride in their work, and don't hesitate to share their knowledge with you as a pet owner. Over the years as my friends and coworkers have added new pets to their family, I have always highly recommended that they take their animals to the Riodan Vet Clinic. Those that have, have always had a fantastic experience. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about you and your pets, you want the Riordan Vet Clinic. Read Less

I went in there because my new puppy had badly injured her leg and I just knew it was broken. So I asked them if they could just take a look. They told me they don't take walk-ins and wernt even going to help me. But they said that they had some time (there was no other person in there but me. I heard one other dog). The vet herself was nice though I didn't catch her name. They took xrays without pain meds and were moving her leg and fighting her as she wailed in pain for over 5 min. I felt so bad for my tiny puppy ( 5 lbs). Then the xrays were soo dark that I couldn't even see my dogs bones. But I thanked them and paid the 100 dollars for the xrays. They didn't do anything to help her leg. And I had to pay 175 dollars at a different vet because the xrays they gave me were so bad. And the other place gave her pain meds before doing xrays and fixed her leg for me. And the staff was super nice there. Will not be returning to ankeny vet Read Less
