“Dr. Polo and his vet tech Natalia are so professional and informative. I called and got an appointment the same day to have my cat’s eye checked, the appointment was within the hour! My cat is typically the feisty type, but he was reasonably calm with them, and they were both so gentle with him. I can’t wait to see them again for a full exam.”
“Great local vet on the coastal slope that provides reasonable care. Always easy to get ahold of and is a great place to pick up prescriptions and/or get jabs for your pets. Staff is friendly and helpful.”

“We love ABC Veterinary Hospital in PB and they take such good care of our little furbaby. We've had bad experiences with other places but have finally found 'our vet' in SD.”
“Even if you don’t read this whole review, trust, if you are looking for the BEST vet for your pet where they will be treated like a VIP (very important pet), receive the most comprehensive, compassionate care, & exceptional service (which of course all animals deserve only the very best), I HIGHLY recommend CoastView.
My 14-year-old Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher, Pawparazzi, has struggled with severe skin issues since June (hair loss, flaky skin, bacterial infection). Our previous vet was fine for routine care, but we saw no progress with these more complex issues. I found CoastView through a Facebook group, & the experience has been amazing. Being a senior dog with health concerns, the idea of a “fear-free” clinic was appealing. My husband was initially skeptical, but even he’s been impressed.
We've had two visits so far, both have been fantastic. Our vet tech, Star, is INCREDIBLE! Dr. Caitie is also AMAZING! They handle Paw with immense compassion, making sure he’s comfortable every step of the way. Star is not only kind to us but to Paw, thoroughly preparing us for Dr. Caitie, helping us communicate our concerns, & clearly explaining Paw’s meds & care tips. She’s friendly, warm, & a pleasure to work with, putting both Paw & us at ease.
Dr. Caitie is so intelligent, kind, & patient, answering every question we have. Her exams are thorough—she checks every detail, takes photos to track progress, & offers a range of treatment options that fit our budget. We always leave with a clear understanding of costs & treatment plans—no surprises. Dr. Caitie has provided symptom relief & preventive measures while we search for the root of Paw's issues.
Both Star & Dr. Caitie make us feel valued, never rushed, & we never feel like unnecessary treatments are pushed. They are knowledgeable, competent, & ethical—qualities that are reassuring when dealing with complex issues. Prices are also reasonable; it doesn’t cost much more than our previous vet, Dr. Caitie & Star also provided resources for financial support.
With our previous vet, we often left feeling uncertain. At CoastView, we leave confident that Paw is on the road to recovery & that there’s a solid plan moving forward.
For anyone curious about a “fear-free” clinic, CoastView’s approach makes a difference:
Separate entrances/waiting rooms for cats & dogs
Free bandanas with calming pheromone spray
Scales on the floor with towels for comfort
Scent diffusers in exam rooms
Towel-covered exam tables for warmth & comfort
Every treatment is done with us in the exam room, easing Paw's anxiety
Small breaks between procedures to avoid overwhelming him
An extra level of care, warmth, & kindness in all interactions with Paw during exams, testing, & treatments
Patience in explaining everything thoroughly & answering all questions to the fullest, so we never feel confused or concerned about his care
Prioritization of treatments & procedures to reduce stress & include preventive measures to avoid further complications
Peanut butter rewards after uncomfortable treatments—simple but helpful!
Communication outside of visits is excellent. We receive appointment reminders, & Dr. Caitie follows up with detailed care plans & cost estimates. After our first visit, I even received a check-in email about Paw’s progress, with encouragement to reach out anytime before his next appointment.
As someone who’s been worried about their pet for months, the relief we’ve felt since switching to CoastView is immense. We’re thankful to have found a place where Paw is truly in good hands & on a hopeful path toward recovery. When your pet faces complex issues, it’s frustrating & heartbreaking to feel helpless. Now, we finally have hope that Paw will regain quality of life, & we’re grateful to the CoastView ”
“This clinic is staffed by the most caring people I have ever encountered at a Veterinary office. Highly recommend. Blanche LeMieux was treated like a queen. Which of course she is.”
“What I really liked about this, Office is the doctor gave me an estimation before providing any services. She also made reasonable recommendations on what could wait or wasn’t real necessary just wanted to give you the option. I made the option to be conservative, I was still treated respectfully and not judged
The services were provided timely as well as the office appointment time
The staff were all very nice to my pets and even helped me out to my car with a heavy travel carrier and my 18 pound kitty.
The office as well as the exam room were very clean and had distractions for the pet.
I will return for future visits”

“Dealing with some infection issues and we are scared with our geriatric kitty. Staff was so kind and walked us through everything. Still waiting on results but they have made sure to keep our boy comfortable in the meantime. Thank you.”
“My poor girl suffered third-degree burns from her previous vet, and I was fortunate enough to be recommended to this place by another Cornish Rex owner. Dr. Young has been treating my cat with so much care and love. This vet has answered all my questions and has never rushed me.
To say I’m grateful to the staff and Dr. Young is an understatement.”
“We take our two French Bulldogs and my sister brings her cat here for all essential treatments and care. The American Animal Hospital is wonderful with amazing staff and Veterinarians! Highly recommend to anyone with pets.”

“I cannot say enough good things about the care my pets receive here. We switched from another local vet, and the care here has been significantly more accommodating for my dog with severe anxiety.
Dr. Lueking and Beckes have both gone out of their way to ensure my dog Maggie is as comfortable as possible when getting exams, treatment, and any procedure.
I also want to give a special shoutout to tech Erica, who worked with Maggie for a very specific issue over 3 different difficult appointments. By the time we were done, I almost cried I was so thankful for the special care Erica had given my pet.
One of my biggest regrets about having dogs was not coming here sooner; I can’t help but wonder if my pets would be less scared of the vet if I would have started here.
Thanks entire team for all that you do!”
“Amazing staff, very compassionate and sweet, and smart and thorough! They know all the right ways to comfort your pet during a vet visit, and they’re a talented team! Highly recommended going here for quality pet care!”

“We took our cat here for emergency. He had severe and acute cardiac issue and we believe VSH offered him accurate prognosis, best possible treatment, and attentive care. Dr. Borgman, Dr. Coberg, Alexis and all other amazing technicians demonstrated great expertise, understanding, and unwavering empathy to both us two humans and our cat. Alex and all other front desk crew provided us with all the information and help we could use.
We are absolutely devastated with the outcome, but we do not regret a single bit taking our cat here. Sometimes I cannot help but think modern science is overrated (cynical, I know) and there are still so much more we need to figure out.
Nevertheless, I believe people here try their best to save lives, and that is a sacred and most respected cause.”

“Dr. Berk is the best vet we ever had. He really cares about the animals. He takes good care of them with compassion. He would never subject any pet to an unnecessary procedure. The clinic is well run, organized.”
“We took our very anxious 11 year old maltipoo here and we're so happy with the staff . From the first phone call scheduling his first appointment with them I felt reassured. The vet came in and sat on the floor with him for quite some time to get him more comfortable with her and both her and the technician took time to get to know him and put us at ease . Our pup needed to have his teeth cleaned and ended up getting 4 teeth pulled. They outlined the procedure thoroughly and gave us costs before hand . On the day of his surgery they were so kind and understanding. I am so happy to have found them!”
“This vet's office is amazing! I've never had a bad experience. They are so nice and thorough and their prices are so reasonable! They never upcharge or try and get you to agree to something that you don't need. They are so compassionate and really listen to what you are saying. You can really trust them! I highly recommend them!!”

“I am beyond grateful to Dr. Laffey and the incredible team for making the process of taking my dog to Europe so smooth and stress-free. Traveling internationally with a pet for the first time is no small task, and I was overwhelmed by all the requirements. Dr. Laffey’s expertise and guidance were invaluable. He took the time to walk me through every step, ensuring I had all the necessary documentation and vaccinations in order. His thoroughness and genuine care for my dog gave me total peace of mind.
A huge thank you to Lorraine as well, who went above and beyond. She was amazing, consistently calling to provide status updates on our USDA paperwork and ensuring there were no delays. Her proactive communication and dedication made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier to navigate.
The level of professionalism, care, and support from this team is unmatched. If you’re looking for a veterinarian who truly cares about both you and your pet, I highly recommend Dr. Laffey and his team. They made what felt like an impossible task completely manageable, and I can’t thank them enough for their help in making our European adventure a reality!”

“My Labrador is under the care of Dr. Dereszynski and I couldn’t be more pleased. We went to VSH for my dog’s annual follow up and Dr. D was so kind, thorough, encouraging. She is so wise and her recommendations have been invaluable . She also spent time petting and chatting with my dog, taking time with us though I know her schedule is busy. Meant so much.”

“I am so happy with tbe services provided here to my pups in both the daycare setting and a recent vet visit I needed for my dog. The vet stayed to see my dog again when his labs came back with some discrepancies. She and the staff took their time and calmed my dog who is usually not comfortable at the vet or doggie daycares. Whenever I have questions management is quick to resond. I will continue to take my pups here for both their veterinary and doggie daycare needs. Thank you to all of the staff and management at Dr. Boyd's for taking such good care of my pups!”
“Dr. Steib and the team have been treating our cat for over nine years. I have zero, zero complaints about their services, professionalism, and care. The only time I have ever reached out to a different veterinarian clinic was during a holiday in an emergency situation (my cat was attacked, on my property, by a dog).”
“I am so happy to have found Dr. Walker and her staff! My beloved kitty cat, who has been healthy his whole life (and is now 13) suddenly got very sick and Dr. Walker was so knowledgeable and helped him feel like himself again. Everyone there is professional, kind, efficient and respectful. What a relief to know he is getting the best care possible!”
“Love the veterinarians and technicians here. They never push for unnecessary treatments and I appreciate the holistic approach, especially with regards to nutrition and raw feeding guidance.”
