River Oak Veterinary Hospital

My husband and I were very cautious when it came to selecting someone to entrust with our fur babies. Dr. John Shaner and Dr. Mike Hellman are both equally wonderful, can't go wrong with either. They are very knowledgeable and trustworthy, and always willing to explain things so everyone can understand. You can honestly tell they care deeply about your pets, which gives you great comfort. Believe me, I'm very picky when it comes to my dogs and puppies. I also want to mention that the office staff are amazing and caring people.
I highly recommend River Oak Veterinary Hospital they are an A+ in my book. Everything has always gone over and above anything I could have wanted. Thanks for everything you do!

My little angel, my kitty Scout, became extremely ill. I took her to an emergency vet, where the experience was unpleasant. I went to River Oak Veternarosm the next day. Dr. Chatfield explained that her kidneys were failing with such kindness and in terms I could understand. She answered all my questions and kept me updated on Scout's progress. DR. Chatfield explained that Scout had kidney disease and there was nothing that could’ve been done to prevent it, and now her body is shutting down, in a caring nature, and made a difficult time bearable. My son and I decided to bring Scout home tonight, and sadly, she passed away tonight. I want to thank Dr. Chatfielf and Karen and the River Oak Veterinarian staff.

Knowledgeable, friendly & took good care of my pets. A little pricey, especially when you have 5 dogs to take care of.

Such a pleasant visit, efficient and friendly. Gracie had a good checkup. I highly recommend River Oak Veterinary.

The doctor was thorough and professional. He spotted a cut on my dog that I did not notice.

Dr. Jenny Chatfield and all the staff here are wonderful. Can't say enough about how wonderful they are. Whether it's time for an annual exam, an emergency, or the saddest day in a pet order's life. They are here for you, and are very honest about it. Thank you for everything

Very nice professional people

Riveroak and our family celebrates 24 years - i can't imagine going anywhere else. they are friends to our family and have always been there for us - thru good and bad times. the best of the best - hands down the best.

I am extremely happy with the care and attention my dog received at River Oak Veterinary Hospital. I drive 2 hours so that my dog receives the best care and they provide it. Thanks so much.

The veterinarian and staff are amazing! Two years ago they treated our beloved dog, Libbey. When we lost her to cancer they were extremely compassionate. Now they take care of our boy Baxter. The staff get down on the floor with him, talk to him, play with him, and he is so responsive to them.
The office is clean and professional. We would recommend River Oak Veterinary Hospital to anyone who loves their fir-baby.

Thank you for all that you do . Thank you for all the years of service for my cats and animals.

Everyone was so friendly, felt like our old Vets office in San Jose
But main thing is that Sierra was totally comfortable with them from the start, which was a great feeling. The Dr was excellent.

We took our 13 year old cat here for the first time and the staff was wonderful! The appointment times were only 1 week out, instead of 3 everywhere else. Dr. Mike Hellman is so kind. He treated Pixar and us like we were the only patients there, giving us full attention. He has such a calming and profession manner even when we were worried. Love this Veterinarian!

Dr. Hellman is so kind and compassionate. He is wonderful with your fur babies. He saved several of my animals with his ability to get a correct diagnosis. The staff are also excellent, Marina, Cherokee, Karen and all of the vet techs. I am so happy I found River Oak over 20 year ago.

Love River Oaks! Love Dr. Jenny Chatfield! Our labs both have no issues going to the vet! In fact, they get excited when we drive into the parking lot!

The staff here have saved 2 of my dogs lives, and gave THE BEST care to my babies. Professional, efficient and sooo beyond caring. Every person in this office loves animals and has been so helpful to my babies! I've been to 3 other vets in the 209 and River Oak is the only place I return to. Love this place!!

I am always entertained by the adoration my dog has for Dr Shiner - she’s almost 12 and that’s a lot of years of surgeries, poking, etc., none of which have reduced her excitement over seeing him. Sure makes vet appointments a breeze! THANK YOU DOC!!!!

Dr. Hellman is so nice and straight forward. This place is one of those rare places that care more about their patients than money.
I am so very thankful for them, as they helped my puppy when she was going through a very rough time. They are so very caring. I Recommend to everyone!

The staff is great I have been going here since the 90's. The Doctors are amazing 👏. I taken pets elsewhere and brought them back because other places didn't correct the issue. I had a abscess on my dog poor thing had to go through 2 surgical treatments cause the othe spot sucked. River Oak Vet is top notch. Now you stay in your car and they call you and let you know what the next steps will be.

The only vet in our area that would help us with pricing on spaying the feral cats. Kind and helpful staff. Very thankful.
