Gentle, honest care for our dogs

Our sweet Lua had her mishaps over the years (why, oh why, do people leave their old chicken bones on the street?), and we made the rounds of various animal hospitals and veterinarians before happening upon the wonderful Dr. Babaev at Riverside Animal Hospital North.
Dr. Babaev was a very gentle and kind physician who never pressured us to run expensive tests and procedures unless they were truly necessary. He even called us directly to check in on how Lua was progressing after treatments, something no other veterinarian had ever done. We will always be deeply grateful to him for his care of our dear one.
Dr. Babaev has since moved on from Riverside, but we've stayed, and our new dog, Brisa, is very happy with the care she receives there.
