“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 ”

“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”

“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.”

“My cat's primary vet for the last two years of her life. Exceptional care and guest service. My wife and I often lament how superior our cats' quality of Healthcare was to our own.

We have had frequent visits here but never any complaints. Staff have been affable and professional, both in person and over the phone.

I take great comfort knowing my senior cat was well taken care of and treated with kindness and dignity.

Highly recommend.”

“We took our new puppy for his very first training at Snug with Dominique and WOW the difference after just one 45-min training is amazing! We shared that the biggest challenge we had was near-constant puppy mouthing/biting, which we had accepted as just a phase we had to wait out. But Dominique gave us strategies that have changed his behavior the same day to nearly zero nips. We have more trainings to come but already can say we wholeheartedly recommend Dominique and Snug!”

“At first I was hesitant to try this place out because its a lot more affordable than what vets will quote you, but I assure you they're great! They had my dog out in under 30 min and he didn't need sedation or extractions. My dog doesnt usually do well to strangers touching his mouth or having the sounds of dental tools near him so I was almost sure he needed to be sedated but he was good this time! I'd definitely come back to this place for another cleaning”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Absolutely the best animal hospital in San Diego county. Amazing, tentative staffing. Dr. Morizi is a caring, gentle & extremely experienced in his field. With over 20 yrs + experience. I have been taking my fur babies to him for many years! Eventhough I know live an hour north of SD I take my babies to him! Very honest man!”

“This place is the absolute best & you can feel it as soon as you walk in. I was looking for a new vet for my pittie & had been to others that just didn’t make me feel super comfortable. I’m so grateful I found Torrey Hills Pet Hospital. The girls in the front are always super sweet, helpful, & kind. Dr. Foltz is amazing. He takes his time, explains everything really well, gives options, and pricing is completely transparent. They are so warm & kind here. My dog actually enjoys coming here to see the team! Thank you TP Pet Hospital!”

“Governor Animal Clinic has kindly and empathetically helped us through the worst of interactions and the best. During Covid we switched to GAC as they were accommodating of an emergency visit. Their staff is beyond kind and works so well with the nuances and needs of each patient. We have two very "vet anxious" German Shepherds and they help us with pre-visit preparation as well as a unique ability to work with the dogs thru their anxiety. The office is spacious and friendly and I'm so grateful for them!”

“We have been taking Dominic to Black Mountain Animal Hospital for the last four years, since the pandemic when we couldn’t be inside of the clinic! From not being able to meet the doctor to ending up in the rooms, for various reasons (Dom slipped and injured his leg and needed to be checked, flea meds, annual exams, shots) he has been in good hands with everyone at this office. The front desk is always kind and accommodating, we are given options for what we want to do, and there is no judgment or pressure from the staff especially in our circumstance where we could not afford full preventative care. Trust these folks with your pets, you will be happy!”

“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!!”
