About Us

Dr. Ginger Garlie opened Rivertown in 1996 with the goal of offering the highest quality veterinary care available, in a warm, friendly atmosphere. It is important that people feel confident that their pets are being treated with skill and compassion. The new hospital was a success, and after several years of building a reputation for excellence in the community and among its peers, Rivertown needed to expand. In February of 2008, we moved into our new location in the scenic Liberty Village neighborhood of Stillwater.
