I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Dr. Mariano and the compassionate care she provided for my cat, Gary, especially in his final days. Gary was my best friend for many years, and making decisions about end of life comfort was one of the hardest experiences I’ve ever had. Dr. Mariano guided me through every step with patience, understanding, and genuine kindness.
she didn’t minimize my concerns or rush conversations. She listened to my worries, to Gary’s symptoms, and to what I felt in my heart. She helped me understand what quality of life truly means, and he supported me in making decisions that were loving, not just medical.

Dear Ridgehill Animal Hospital,
I am writing to express my appreciation for the exceptional care my four dogs consistently receive at your facility. As frequent visitors, we have always found your staff to be wonderful.
My pets and I particularly adore Beth Caroleo. She clearly has a deep love for animals, and it's reciprocated by my dogs. Her ability to keep our visits, especially for vaccinations, as stress-free as possible is greatly valued. Our family is committed to supporting local businesses, and Beth is truly our preferred choice for our pets' care.
Sincerely,
Jay Richardson
