From wellness visits and vaccines to surgery, dental, and imaging — you'll always know what to expect before we begin.
6 veterinarians and specialists on staff
Dr. Rivera has practiced small-animal medicine for over 25 years and opened Riverside in 1994. Her clinical interests include internal medicine, chronic disease management, and senior pet care. She believes every consult should end with a plan the family actually understands.
Dr. Patel completed a surgical residency at UC Davis and leads soft-tissue and orthopedic procedures at Riverside. He also mentors our technician team on advanced anesthesia monitoring.
Dr. Kaur joined Riverside in 2021 and focuses on preventive care, dermatology, and feline medicine. She is fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and is a certified Fear Free practitioner.
Jamie has been with Riverside since 2012 and holds a specialty certification in veterinary dentistry. He runs our dental day program and is the go-to person for anything anesthesia-related.
Dr. Mendes completed an exotic animal internship at the Zoological Society before joining Riverside in 2023. She sees birds, small mammals, reptiles, and aquatic species alongside her general small-animal caseload.
Taylor oversees day-to-day operations, client experience, and staff scheduling at Riverside. A Certified Veterinary Practice Manager, she is the reason things run on time — and the person to call about billing or insurance questions.

Check my bill →Brought our senior lab in for a dental. Dr. Patel walked us through the estimate, flagged two extractions as possible, and gave us the range up front. Final bill came in within the estimate and our dog was walking around like a puppy the next day. Don't think I've ever felt more respected by a vet.
Thank you, Jordan! Give Biscuit a big scratch behind the ears from all of us. See you at his wellness check.
Our border collie used to shake at every vet visit. Dr. Kaur spent the first 10 minutes sitting on the floor tossing treats before even touching her. We left with a care plan and, for the first time, a dog that was wagging her tail on the way out.
We came in as a walk-in for what turned out to be an ear infection. The vet tech was kind and the diagnosis was quick, but we waited almost two hours because they were slammed. The care itself was great and the price was fair.
Dev, thanks for the honest feedback — you're right that Tuesday afternoons have been busier than we'd like. We've added a second tech to the walk-in line starting this month. We appreciate your patience.
We have Trupanion and Riverside processes it directly at checkout — we only paid our 10% portion and the rest went straight to the carrier. No receipts to chase, no 6-week reimbursement waits. This alone is worth switching clinics for.
