  • Calm, confidence-building appointments: multiple owners mention feeling informed and more relaxed, including a nervous dog who was calmer than usual during the visit. - Positive outcomes after diagnosis/treatment: examples include improvement after treatment for breathing difficulties and a dog becoming happier after dental problems were identified and treated. - Cost communication is inconsistent: some owners say options and costs are explained clearly so they can decide; others report unexpected higher charges, including an X‑ray reportedly over £700 and a cremation bill that was higher than what they believed had been quoted.

Riverside Veterinary Centre is an independent practice (established in 1997). The website describes a broad, general-practice setup with in-house diagnostics (including digital X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG, blood pressure and an in-house lab), theatre facilities, and a camera‑monitored recovery ward. Reviews most often describe long-term continuity of care (some owners mention 15–20 years with the clinic) and gentle handling—particularly with puppies and during end-of-life care.
