Have brought my cats here since day 1! Doctors and staff are always willing to explain and communicate diagnoses, treatment, and follow up care without any hesitation. I have been so impressed by this office’s speedy treatment and wonderful care. 110% recommend.

Doctor Garton has cared for our elderly dogs for several years now, and my wife and I couldnt be happier to have found him and Riordan Pet Hospital. They have gone above and beyond to guide us through some medical issues with both of our dogs. I have had several animals in my life, and have been to multiple vets, and Riordan is hands down the best. From the awesome office manager that keeps things moving, to the helpful techs, and the great Vets, I highly recommend Riordan Pet Hospital!!!

If you are looking for a great place for your pets veterinary care you need look no further than Riordan Pet Hospital. All of the doctors, vet techs, office/front desk staff are awesome and truly show that each and every one of them care about your pet as if it were their ownWe rescued a Shih Tzu / Maltese fur baby a little over 5 years ago and have taken him to Riordans from the very beginning for all of his vaccinations, other medical needs and his most recent diagnosis of diabetes. A special thank you to Dr. Chuck with the diabetes diagnosis and to Cindy at the front desk in always answering our calls with a caring voice and going the extra mile to finding answers to all of our questions when we call. The entire Riordan staff has been awesome in this journey with us in the continued care of our little guy with testing and monitoring of his glucose level as we give him insulin twice a day

My family has been bringing our dogs here since I was born, and theyve always been wonderful. I live out of state now, but came home for a weekend with my dog, who had surgery a week ago. Some of her staples on her incision had popped open, and Riordan Pet Hospital was able to squeeze her in and take care of her, even though she wasnt a regular patient. After living in 4 different states and visiting numerous veterinarian clinics I can say with confidence there are no better vets anywhere than the Riordans. Theyve loved and cared for several of my familys pets as if they were their own.

Dr Chuck is the most amazing vet. Compassionate. You couldn’t ask for a better vet. Highly recommend everyone at Riordans Vet

Rioedan Diagnose my dog with diabetes when he had pancreatic failure. After giving him shots everyday we saw a decrease in his behavior and took him to the dog er. They told us either we can have him come home or take him to Iowa state for further exams. We decided to take him to Iowa State and they told us that he did not have diabetes. He lived for 24 hours there and then passed away.

The knowledge and professionalism that Dr. Garton and all Riordan staff have for my dogs and for all animals is amazing. I wouldnt take my pets anywhere else. My dogs are very lucky to have such an amazing vet. They go the extra mile to help you in your time of need.

I cant imagine taking my dogs anywhere but here. The time all of the Drs have and the compassion they show is above and beyond. Dr Terry has seen us through some tough times and always assures us we do a great job with our Furkids.

Dr. Garton is a compassionate care giver for my dogs. He takes time to ask questions and to provide all of the information available. Dr. Garton supported us through a tough illness of one of my dogs and made it as easy as possible for all involved. The assistants and the front desk team were all wonderful too. Thank you Riordan Vet Clinic and everyone working in the Beaverdale office.

We love Riordans! We have been bringing our doggies here for 25+ years and totally trust them! From the front desk staff, to the techs, to the doctors, you are amazing! And we especially love Chuck!

Dennis loves your pets as much as you! He seriously knows his stuff, and cares for your friend(s) like they are his own. He even was able to slash costs on my dogs teeth procedure. That my previous vet claimed he needed, to further line their pockets with needless tests.

Riordans was good for regular check ups and giving vaccinations. But when my 4 month puppy broke her leg she ended up going through additional suffering as well as us spending hundreds of dollars more in visits and an ER trip. When she was splinted for the broken leg we suggested she have a cone put on so she could not mess with the splint. The doctor disagreed, weeks later shes rechecked and we suggest again then for a cone because she had picked at her splint and gotten an infection in her toes. Our suggestion was still disregarded and they gave her an even more ridiculous wrap around her waist for the splint. Less than a week after receiving this she ended up in the ER because the wrap around her waist had bit into her leg and the skin their had rotted and died so she is now recovering from a broken leg and stitches. And all of this could of been avoided if our vet would have heeded our suggestion and put a cone on her. The vet showed no real remorse or responsibility for what happened to our dog so they will no longer be getting our business. I could never trust them again to look at one of my pets.

I started off taking my new puppy there and they were so nice I decided to take my other dogs there as well. They are friendly and truly care about your animals.

They know their stuff! Great family run organization. Truly care about your pet.

The love and knowledge that Dr. Riordan has for all animals is phenomenal. I wouldnt take my pets anywhere else.

This is one of the worst vets in Des Moines. We had a horrible experience here with more than one doctor dealing with a misdiagnosis and mistreatment. If this was a hospital for humans, it would have resulted in a lawsuit. This vet is fine for the average monthly and annual care, but if your dog has any sort of special needs, I urge you to try somewhere else. Learn from our mistake!

Cant say enough great things about these guys. Our pets receive fantastic care from the vets and technicians.

They treat my dog and my brothers dog with the utmost care!

Wonderful, friendly people who truly care about our pets.
