ASL-Friendly Care

dots

We’re Here to Support You

At Riverdale Park Animal Hospital, we believe exceptional care starts with clear, comfortable communication. Every pet parent deserves to feel heard, understood, and fully involved in their pet’s health decisions.

That’s why we’re proud to be an ASL-friendly practice, working to create an accessible, welcoming environment for members of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

Communication You Can Count On

Veterinary visits often come with important conversations — discussing symptoms, reviewing treatment options, and making care decisions. Our team is committed to ensuring those conversations are easy, respectful, and stress-free.

We strive to provide:

  • American Sign Language (ASL)-friendly communication
  • Clear, face-to-face conversations
  • Written instructions and notes when helpful
  • Extra time for questions and discussion
  • A patient, supportive approach at every visit

Your comfort and confidence matter just as much as your pet’s care.

Inclusive, Compassionate Care for All

Accessibility is part of who we are. Along with being ASL-friendly, we proudly serve our diverse community with bilingual support in English and Spanish and a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere. We believe veterinary care should be accessible to everyone — and we’re always happy to accommodate individual needs whenever possible.
