How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Riverdale Integrative Veterinary Care
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Dr. Beth Hirsch is one of the best!!!! If i could give 10 stars I would!!! She really cares about the pets she treats and doesn't just prescribe over-priced drugs to make the pain; she gets to the root cause and eliminates the problem! My 2 dogs have been seeing Dr. Hirsch for almost 4 years and in that time I have ALWAYS had a great experience! She is professional, yet approachable and does NOT mind when you ask questions like other vets do. She explains options, takes the time to clearly identify issues, and offers treatments in order of priority... Her rates are no higher than traditional vets! If you are considering Dr. Hirsch as your vet, I would tell you NOT TO WAIT another second! Call and schedule your visit with her, and expect a thorough exam EACH and EVERY time you see her. Your initial visit will be an extensive one where she will spend most of her time on the floor with your pet(s). Our initial visit with both of our dogs was 3 hours; all of which SHE was in the room, hands on. The role of the vet tech is just that, a tech who records vitals at the beginning of the visit and is with Dr. Hirsch during the entire exam. I cannot say enough about how happy I am to have found Dr. Hirsch for our pets! Don W.

We haven't been to Riverdale Integrative Vet Care for too long but Dr. Hirsch has been taking care of our 2 cats and 1 dog for over 2 years now and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for having Dr. Hirsch as our vet. She always answers ALL of our questions during and even after our visit. That's maybe why the wait time can be slightly longer. But the wait is totally worth it. She never made us feel rushed during our appointment. In case of emergencies, she would find ways to squeeze us in despite of her packed schedule. She explains every single item on a lab test with us through emails. There was even one time she walked us through our pup's lab result 2 days after she did a surgery! Dr. Hirsch also provides us with all possible treatment options for us to consider and help us weigh the pros and cons of each one. Our pup would never become so healthy and active without her care. Dr. Hirsch should definitely be your go-to vet!!

Look no further for complete, holistic and chiropractic wellness. Dr. Hirsch’s experience with eastern medicine, combined with her expertise in chiropractic wellness is unmatched by any other veterinary care professionals. She also offers a plethora of resources to further enhance your pet’s mind/body connection. She offers guidance, compassion, and options for treatment, often going above and beyond most levels of care.

Dr. Hirsch has been taking wonderful care of our dog, Abby, for the past 5 years. Abby is always excited to see Dr. Hirsch and loves her monthly chiropractic adjustments! Dr. Hirsch is very thorough, and always takes her time to look at issues from every possible angle. Because of her attention to detail, she has helped Abby get through several serious health issues. In addition, Dr. Hirsch’s passion for holistic health has allowed Abby’s treatment to include supplements and minimal medication. Dr. Hirsch answers all of our questions at the visit, and she’s also accessible by email as well, should something come up. Abby’s labwork results are always emailed to us with a detailed interpretation of what’s going on, and proposed treatment plan options for any issues shown in lab results. We truly appreciate everything Dr. Hirsch has done for us!

We have been going to Dr. Beth Hirsch for over three years now. She is a combination of strong clinical diagnosis and in-depth knowledge of holistic medicine. And she is very thorough. She solved a health issue that our pup, Leo, had been suffering for a long time (that could not be resolved by many other vets we had seen). Dr. Hirsch solved the problem with a mix of chiropractic adjustments and holistic medicine. We love Dr. Hirsch (we drive over an hour - each way - to see her)!
