About Vet

Hi folks! I am Dr. Oliver, a queer and cat-obsessed veterinarian and Cornell alum. I am committed to providing compassionate and inclusive care to all pets and their humans. Though I love snuggling my cats, I also have a passion for dogs and all other animals. I seek to really hone in on a patient's body language and clinical signs to help you understand what they are trying to tell you and how you can give them the best care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or hairless!) companion.

This doctor didn’t just prescribe my cat medicine, but explained all the possible side effects along with the benefits. He thoroughly explained the different possibilities of what could be going on with my cat and what the next steps would be if the current treatment doesn’t work.

Was able to quickly diagnose my kitty’s respiratory infection, and was able to give suggestions as to how best comfort his respiratory and immune health going forward!

Dr. Riopelle was very helpful during a late night Saturday virtual visit for my dog. In addition to providing a Rx for her UTI, he shared some possible causes of recurring UTIs in her breed, so I can have an informed conversation with our regular vet. This was great, empathetic, and efficient care!
