Riverside Veterinary Group, located at 219 West 79th Street in the heart of the Upper West Side in New York City, has been an veterinary care practice since 1953. In it's present incarnation, it was purchased in 1994 by Dr. Kasanofsky and Dr. Raclyn and completely gutted and reconstructed.

We were recognized in 1996 as an AAHA hospital, meeting the strict standards of quality established by the American Animal Hospital Association. Riverside Veterinary Group is one of only seven private owned veterinary practices in Manhattan that have achieved AAHA certification

Our veterinary hospital uses the latest in veterinary care technology including computerized electrocardiographic monitoring equipment, non invasive blood pressure measurement devices, pulse oximeter, isoflurane anesthesia, in house laboratory, as well as offering a full compliment of alternative veterinary medicine, including acupunture, electro acupuncture, and a host of alternative therapies that simply don't fit in any particular category. We're proud of the way we integrate Western Medicine with Alternative Medicine, and think we've achieved a level of care that is beyond the sum of the two modalities.

Riverside Veterinary Group is a smaller practice than Riverside Animal Hospital, and that means even more personalized attention, shorter waiting times and even more treats for your pet! Despite our smaller size, we do offer an even more convenient location and the same high quality of medical care that you and AAHA demands.

We had a major rennovation in Sept 2005 and the hospital is brand spanking new. Stop in to say hi, or just play with the kittens we usually have in the waiting room for adoption. Right after our rennovation, we were at once accredited by AAHA for another three years!

We also offer boarding services. We have a backyard where we let the dogs have playtime if the weather permits.The cats get personalized attention many times throughout the day.
