- General Info
- The old Motel for Pets was built in 1956 by Dr. Jack Baker. It operated as a boarding facility until 1984, when Dr. Arthur Serwitz purchased and renovated it to accommodate a veterinary clinic, the Riverview Animal Clinic. Over the years, the facility has undergone several small renovations and two major additions. The last addition and renovation, which was finished in July 1996, doubled the space of the previous facility. The clinic has reorganized its boarding facility to separate dogs and cats completely, while maintaining a comfortable capacity of about 200 animals that might stay there on a holiday weekend or popular vacation time. Its grooming facility has been increased and renovated to accommodate he new demands. The clinic has significantly increased its hospital space, going from three to seven exam rooms and enlarged its treatment area. It added an additional surgery suite, a separate cat hospital ward and an exotic animal ward. It also added an intensive care unit. Services include preventative health care, boarding, pet food and supplies, diagnostic testing, senior animal health care, emergency services, hospitalization, behavior counseling and treatment, surgery, grooming and dental care. The Riverview Animal Clinic is located in Birmingham, Ala.

The staff was very helpful. They saw me on short notice, and the doctor stayed late to help me. I was very grateful for the awesome service.They made a stressful situation much easier.

My daughter's hamster died of a reproductive tumor that ruptured. The way the staff handled our pets passing was the most compassionate I have ever experienced.

Just moved to Birmingham from Florida for work its been 45 days since been here because of moving expense unable to do checkup immediately. Politely asked Vet if I was able to buy 1 mo of heart worm Medication at the time till I could financially bring them in for a full checkup and purchase the year or just have heart worm test so I could buy 6 mo supply.
Vet refused both options saying I would need to do a full workup/checkup and become a client before they would help me which to me is a vet that cares more about there bottom line then the pets themselves. If I didn't spend 4,000 dollars on a move this wouldn't be the issue and they my pets would have been enrolled at this Vet just do to a friends recommendation. Since they didn't wanna work with me for the first 30 to 60 days shows its more about the money then your animals and gaining clients.

Excellent customer service! The entire team shows a love and compassion for all animals; we have never felt more confident with the health services of our animals than the day we walked in to Riverview Animal Clinic! Dr Serwitz and Dr Atlas are AMAZING! The entire staff takes the time to educate you rather than rush through your appointment. There are cats/kittens available for adoption, a full line of dog/cat foods, some animal accessories, this clinic has truly designed it's practice around their customers and animals! Fast, prompt, curteous service, accomodating appointment scheduling on weekdays or weekends - we cannot say enough positive things about this entire clinic!

I've been taking my dogs to Riverview for years and never have had one bad visit. The groomer has always done a fabulous job!
