We started coming to River Heights 3 months ago after being recommended by 2 acquaintances of ours who RAVED about the care their pets received here. Even though we have only been clients for a short time, we have multiple pets who have had medical issues & we have literally been seen here at least 10 times. Then we just adopted 2 kittens from a litter that they were fostering, so the staff seems to know us well now & vice versa. It was obvious to me right away that this practice was different from others we've been to. I loved the separate waiting area & exam rooms just for cats. I was impressed by how high tech everything is, from online medical records to digital xrays & ultrasound equipment (no more costly trips to VCA for this). The staff was very professional, friendly & competent. It was very apparent after having a 50 min conversation with Dr. Juriga (during what was suppose to be a 15 min re exam) that this atmosphere of dedication, compassion & excellence in treating animals & their owners, comes from the top down. My husband had a similar experience with Dr. Juriga during a consult for dental work that turned into a 45 min chat. He came home raving about how impressed he was with him & that I will love him when I meet him. He was right. Our pets have been seen by all five doctors in the practice & they were all wonderful but I have to say that Dr. Juriga & Dr. DeVold are our favorites. Their passion & dedication for what they do come through & that is something very rare to find these days. We are so grateful to have found River Heights & expect to be longtime clients of theirs. :)
