I truly don’t have the words to express just how amazing Dr. Wulforst is. She started caring for my Maddie when she was around 10 years old and already had an established history of congestive heart failure. I will forever be grateful for the care she gave my little girl. Thanks to Dr. Wulforst, I was lucky enough to have another six wonderful years with Maddie. I will always be thankful for that extra time and for the high quality of life we were able to maintain right up until Maddie's last month.
Over those six years, Dr. Wulforst and her staff were consistently incredible. I honestly cannot think of a single negative experience I had with the clinic. Every person I interacted with was kind, compassionate, helpful, and genuinely cared about Maddie. It never felt like she was just another patient. They knew her, they loved on her, and they treated her like she mattered.
What stands out to me most about Dr. Wulforst is how much she truly cares about her patients. During Maddie’s last few weeks, she did everything she could to accommodate us and make sure Maddie got whatever treatment she needed, even when she wasn’t scheduled to be seen. There were several occasions when she was able to squeeze Maddie in for an urgent same-day visit, which meant so much to me during such a stressful time.
Then came Maddie’s last day, which was obviously one of the hardest days of my life. Dr. Wulforst actually came in on a Sunday to be there for us. She went so far above and beyond to make sure Maddie was as comfortable as possible and that my mom, sister, and I were okay, too. She let us take as much time as we needed and spent so much extra time with us before, during, and after the procedure. We never felt rushed or like we were being hurried through what was such an incredibly difficult goodbye. She gave us the time and space we needed to say goodbye to our girl.
My mom has had dogs her entire life and even commented that she had never seen that level of care from a veterinarian. I completely agree. My sister is also considering transitioning the care of her three dogs to Riverside Vet Clinic/Dr. Wulforst despite it being a much further drive compared to her current veterinary clinic.
I also want to give a huge thank-you to the entire team at Riverside Veterinary Clinic. The staff has been wonderful from day one. Everyone is kind, patient, responsive, and genuinely caring. They have always made me feel comfortable asking questions and never made me feel like I was being difficult or ridiculous. They were always happy to help, and I could tell that Maddie was genuinely cared for every time we walked through the door.
The clinic and staff are such a big part of what made my experience so wonderful. Having a veterinarian you trust is incredibly important, but having an entire team that you know will treat your pet with kindness and compassion makes an enormous difference, especially when things get difficult.
I genuinely cannot thank Dr. Wulforst and everyone at Riverside Veterinary Clinic enough for everything they did for Maddie and for me. I will forever be grateful that Dr. Wulforst helped give me six more years with my sweet girl and cared for her so wonderfully throughout those years and right up until the very end.
For as long as Dr. Wulforst is practicing, I will continue to trust her with my pets. I truly cannot recommend her or Riverside Veterinary Clinic enough. If you are looking for a veterinarian who will genuinely care about your pet, you will be in wonderful hands here.
Hats off to the entire Riverside Veterinary team! We’ve been using their services for about a year now, and every visit has been a great experience. We recently had our Cavapoo, Daphne, spayed, and they did an amazing job taking care of her.
The staff was professional, caring, and took the time to explain everything clearly before and after her procedure, which really put us at ease. Daphne recovered beautifully, and it was obvious she was in good hands.
We truly appreciate the compassion and quality care they provide and highly recommend Riverside Veterinary to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive veterinary team.

Sadly, we had to put our 15-year-old cat, Patchouli, to sleep on 7/13. I want to take a moment to again recognize the incredible team at Riverside, particularly Dr. Norman and Steven. Their compassion and care in handling Patchouli from the very beginning to the end of her life made a difficult time much easier to bear.
I highly recommend this animal clinic.
