In the case of an emergency, call our number which will give you a prompt to Blue Pearl Specialty and Emergency or call them directly at 212-767-0099.
Laboratory screening for common, treatable problems; testing for common parasites like heartworms, intestinal worms, fleas and ticks; obesity prevention and treatment; attention to dental health and behavioral health all lead to a great quality of life for your pets. Regular, thorough examination of all body systems by experienced doctors is the best way to detect any problems before they become serious and more costly.
Diagnostic imaging is critical in diagnosing patients. The ability to use advanced equipment to 'see' exactly what is normal or abnormal within, as well as plan and execute effective treatment has revolutionized veterinary medicine and our ability to take care of your pet. Rivergate Veterinary Clinic is a clear leader in diagnostic imaging.
The doctors at Rivergate Veterinary Clinic utilize their knowledge and experience to improve the lives of pets and their families daily through surgery. We achieve the gold standard of care by performing thorough physical exams, bloodwork, and advanced monitoring during surgical procedures to make the general anesthesia as safe as possible.

My experience has been mixed.
The doctors we had interactions with were all caring and nice.
However the waiting room is very small and there's no waiting area for cats so this isn't really a cat friendly environment. Compared to our cat-only vet back in another city, now it's really stressful for our cats. Really hope they could have a larger waiting room or a cat-only waiting area.
A second thing is the reception staffs, both of our cats are on prescription diets. But the staff didn't check which cat should have which food so when we need to buy food for both, they just made the food lists

We’ve been clients of Rivergate for many years. Our beloved dachshund AMO loves Dr Kross and before him Louie was a patient for 12 years. We trust Dr. Kross implicitly and also want to give a shout out to Dr Kamibsky. This is the place if you truly love your dog.

Dr. Cavanaugh is the most caring and compassionate vet. He genuinely loves and cares for our two cats, and always discusses our options before moving forward. We feel very lucky to have found someone that cares about our pets as much as we do.

The veterinarian Dr. Marissa Sue and vet techs were phenomenal in their care and compassion for my dog when she was having an odd and frightening reaction to an infection. I absolutely loved the process and results I got from them until I had received my bill for my dogs medication. For an easily accessible medication I was charged 5x the price which turned what should have been a $30 bill into over $100 just for medication. I had called them and was treated very respectfully by a vet tech that was handling calls, but never received a response from whoever is in charge with managing payments to

Dr. Kross is one of the best veterinarians in NYC. He has helped guide us as first time dog owners with extreme patience and kindness. We don't live that close by but he is absolutely worth the trek. Dr. Kross really makes you feel that he cares about your pet's wellbeing and that it is not just a business. All of staff at Rivergate Veterinary Clinic are incredibly courteous, efficient, and helpful.

Super nice! My dog is leash reactive so they planned for her to come in a second entrance so she wouldn't have to deal with other dogs.
The staff at reception are very helpful and professional.
The vet is fantastic. She examined my dog, came out and we had a good discussion of everything from diet and food, skin allergies, spaying, weight. She went back in for more examination time and when we had finished we felt really comfortable with the vet and the entire practice.
To top it off - my dog LOVES the place, all those smells!
This practice is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Dr. Kross is the absolute best vet I've been to in a very long time. He is so kind and soft spoken, my dog just walked away with him and she came back just as happy. I highly recommend Rivergate Veterinary Clinic. The office is immaculate and his staff is just as wonderful. I wouldn't trust any one else with my dog.

Rivergate Veterinary Clinic is a fantastic place. The vets are lovely; the staff is friendly and welcoming. All staff members work together to give your furbaby the best care possible. I would not trust any other vet with my beloved pup, Ruprecht. I highly recommend the Rivergate Vet clinic; they are the best.
