Charleston Veterinary Internal Medicine

I had my initial consult today after seeing two other internists that unfortunately didn’t work out for varying reasons. As a vet tech myself, I take my cats care very seriously and these folks went above and beyond. The doctor and technician evaluated a full, detailed, and complicated four years of history and were knowledgeable about his condition before we even stepped foot in the door. The doctor and tech listened intently to all my concerns and took each and every one seriously. A fantastic treatment plan was formulated, and executed within only an hour! The efficiency blew me away. Cost is very reasonable for a specialist with such knowledge and compassion. The most important part? My cat had a low stress visit that gave us answers, and I felt heard. I’ve never felt more confident in his treatment plan moving forward and have found his internist for the rest of his life! Thank you Dr. Rebecca and all of your support staff!

I am so very thankful for Charleston Veterinary Internal Medicine. Dr Rittenberg and her entire staff are so compassionate and knowledgeable. I brought my dog in for an emergency situation and they have all been amazing. In thinking about several different ways to try to treat him and his long term needs. Scheduling him in quickly for an appointment due to the seriousness. I will be using their practice along with the other practices associated with them from now on.

When my 14yo dog was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, Charleston Veterinary Internal Medicine got us in almost immediately. When I arrived at the first appointment, Gabby at the front desk was calming and welcoming. When we were taken back by Heather, she was so kind and supportive that I genuinely cried tears of relief. Dr. Rittenberg is so knowledgeable and thorough. She is straightforward yet compassionate. After our first appt, she gently let me know that it would be ideal for Saki to be hospitalized for fluids. Since then, we have come in for weekly appointments, and everyone has been fantastic. Dr. Rittenberg even gave me diaper rash cream that she had in her purse (apparently she has a toddler) because Saki had been experiencing incontinence and had urine burn! They even made us an ornament with Saki’s paw print (picture below). Dr. Rittenberg, Heather, Amanda and Gabby are absolutely phenomenal. I’m extremely grateful for the entire team, and I highly recommend them!

Dr. Rittenburg and her staff saved my pup. She had been seen daily at her vet office for over a week, then spent another 4 days in the animal hospital and NO ONE took care of her and performed the right tests like Dr. Rittenburg. She has always been so compassionate and responsive when I needed her. I feel really lucky (understatement) to have found her and that I took my fur baby in for a second opinion. Every day I get to snuggle my pup and am grateful for this practice. They are truly kind souls.

I strongly recommend Dr Rittenberg and her staff!! She is very knowledgeable, caring and kind. She answered all my questions and eased all of my concerns. Her nurses, Heather and Amanda, were so gentle and wonderful with my pup and they are so helpful! Gabby up front was also very nice and a very warm welcome in a time when I was feeling anxious. I was pleasantly surprised by how relatively quick they were able to get me an appointment! I am glad to have found this place and would recommend them for all of your pets internal medicine needs!! A big thank you from Captain and me for making him feel all better!
