Honestly could not have asked for a better experience. From the front desk to the tech, to the Dr. My puppy Finn was so comfortable and at ease. For his first visit with vaccinations, they handled him with such love and care which I think had a lot to do with my puppy’s calm, anxiety free experience. Truly one of a kind and treat your pet as one of their own. Highly knowledgeable, Dr and Tech both took time to answer questions and give my puppy quality care. Highly recommend and so happy I chose Rockaway Beach Vet for my puppy’s care.

Everybody at this Veterinary practice is professional and friendly. I have feral cats and they were able to treat them without a problem. Dr. G is a warm and caring Vetinarian. I would definitely recommend bringing your animal to this wonderful facility.

My dog has been an RBVS patient for 9 years. At the beginning of this year, my pup underwent an enucleation due to glaucoma, and I'd like to share the wonderful experience had at RBVS. Dr. Ruggiero and her team were exceptional. Dr. Ruggiero grasped the urgency immediately, walked us through everything, and scheduled surgery within days. The procedure went well and I was able to take my pet home the same evening. He walked out on his own with the neatest dressing I've ever seen. His recovery was remarkably smooth, with minimal redness and no bleeding or swelling. What truly stood out was the follow-up care. Dr. Ruggiero called the evening after surgery to check in, and other RBVS staff followed up in the days that followed. That's genuine patient care. My dog has now fully recovered, and I can confidently say that for anyone facing this procedure with their pet, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ruggiero and RBVS. They are skilled, caring, and truly wonderful to partner with in caring for my furry family member.
