CoastView Veterinary Hospital

We worked with Janel at CoastView on all the requirements for a travel Health Certificate for our dog as we were preparing to move to Australia. It was truly a pleasure working with her, and the vets on staff, every step of the way. I felt so much more confident in the process knowing that Janel was working closely with me and checking that we were meeting all requirements for the certificate - she even caught an important mistake made by the USDA that I had missed, which meant we were able to have it corrected before it became a problem. The Australian requirements for importing your pet are very strict and we were able to bring it all together. Janel was also extremely helpful and accommodating. I would recommend Janel and CoastView to anyone for health certificates! I am extremely grateful for their support during this long hard process!

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 team for that. I recommend CoastView wholeheartedly. I’ve read countless reviews & spent time researching to find the best care for Paw. Our pets are family, so if you’re searching for the right vet, I hope this helps guide you to the quality care CoastView provides. Thank you, CoastView! We love you! 🐾

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Coastview Vet! They consistently go above and beyond to care for our dog, treating him like a member of their own. From the moment we walk in, the entire team is welcoming, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The veterinarians are top-notch, always taking the time to explain every detail of our dog’s care with patience and clarity. We have had amazing experiences with all Doctors and Vet Tech, but especially most recently Dr. Stuart and Janel (RVT). Their compassion and dedication are evident in every interaction, whether it’s a routine check-up or a more serious issue. It’s clear that they truly love what they do and genuinely care about the well-being of their patients. We have also had amazing experiences in the past with Dr. Morse and Dr. Huang. The staff is always so kind and gentle, putting our dog (and us!) at ease, no matter the situation. They listen to our concerns and offer thoughtful, tailored advice that we know we can trust. The level of personalized care we receive is exceptional, and we always leave feeling confident that our dog is in the best possible hands.We’re incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing veterinary practice, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for the very best care from professionals that truly care.

Wonderful vet and easy to work with. Perfect location convenient for the Bay Ho, Clairemont area. Really care for your pets mental well being by providing stress free care. My yellow lab Remy, loves it there!

Everyone was so nice and caring and I felt like I was working with the doctors to make sure Sprinkles and Panthers' visit was as stressless as we could all make it. I really appreciate that team effort atmosphere. The team was knowledgeable and patient with my questions (and my curious cats) so that meant a lot. Overall, I'm so happy with the care we got here and will absolutely be coming back and recommend to the other pet owners in my life. Thank you!
