Reviewers with long histories praise Dr Sebunya and the staff's care and affordability, but recent visits reveal serious gaps: missed diagnoses, failed follow-ups on test results, unclear treatment plans, and staff turnover have shaken confidence. The hospital claims emergency services but turns away urgent cases.

Reviewers consistently report low-cost surgical and urgent care with skilled doctors and kind staff who make difficult situations manageable. Pricing often undercuts typical emergency clinics by half. Front-desk communication is spotty: some staff offer rushed appointment options without fully explaining availability, and billing sometimes exceeds quoted estimates.

RiNoVet handles critical emergencies with surgical skill and emotional support, yet a handful of reviewers encountered diagnostic oversights that delayed necessary treatment elsewhere. The team's compassion shines when they engage fully-same-day ultrasounds, midnight surgery, follow-up calls-but the clinic's inconsistent initial intake and occasional filthy waiting room undercut that reputation.
