Staff were exceptionally kind and preliminary phone calls were reassuring. Intake went smoothly; procedures were clearly explained. Leaving our cat Rocket overnight at Red Bank was a relief, rather than a frightening experience. I really felt she was in safe hands (no small thing, for me). The total invoice for services came out slightly less than Red Bank's initial estimate and, though costly, was straightforward and fair. A day after bringing Rocket home and thanks to the medication received she's in good shape, better than many weeks before we brought her to Red Bank. We didn't think we'd ever

I went in on new years eve around 7-8pm with my senior diabetic cat who was in very bad shape. We went for their emergency services. The vet let us know our options and unfortunately the best one was to put down our babe. We were able to hold him as they did the euthanasia. We took him home in a coffin with his name & a bunch of hearts on it. With his paw prints & a little nose print. We had gotten a pawsake keepsake which recently arrived with a card offering their deepest condolences. The little things really made it better. Everything they did showed how much they care for animals. This was

I recently moved to Red Bank from New York and was worried about care for my two older cats. I brought one one my cats in a few weeks ago and the second in this past weekend. I feel their health issues were taken very seriously and professionally and with understanding of my concerns. I am SO happy to have found such a great place to bring my pets. And in particular Dr. Martins is wonderful, caring, listens to my concerns and communicates to me in a way I, as a non-doctor, can understand.

Thank you to all the staff who were professional,
Friendly, and communicative during an emergency. The staff and Dr made frequent phones calls to update and educate and answer questions. Efficient practice and all around felt secure and that my fur baby (rabbit) was in good hands. Wait time to be seen was minimal. All the tests were lengthy but the staff called ahead of time to review what tests were recommended and how long they would take. Very glad to have a 24 hr animal ER in the local area.

RBVH can be costly compared to smaller vets but they are a true example of you get what you pay for. Our vet, Dr. Ciolino goes above and beyond without being asked. She is responsive and keeps in contact before, during, and after any visit. When our late dog had cancer, the oncology department made me feel like he was their dog too. Even speaking to someone there for the first time feels like they genuinely care. The techs are amazing and unbelievably kind. The women in the blood bank feel like family and make blood donations feel like a celebration. The people in the medical record and financial

My 15 year old kitty cat recently became ill and I needed to take him for emergency care since it was after hours for my own regular vet. I took him to RBVH and through all their hard work and understanding my cat Wish is back to his old self again. I cannot thank RBVH staff for all of their compassion and thoroughness with diagnosing and finding the correct treatment for my cat's cancer. He is a happy cat again! Thank you RBVH!
