This review is long past due. The main vet is Dr. Dean…read moreAnderson. Dr. Paul is a part time vet there working on Thursday and Fridays. About 5 months ago my Chaweenie, Cassie suddenly became critically ill. She couldn't stand or walk and her head was flopping around in a circle. I thought she was having a stroke. I immediately called the vet. It was a Wednesday so Dr. Paul was not there. Dr. Anderson took her from me and did bloodwork on her. Her HCT was 14%. It should have been 40%. The vet should have told me right then to take her to the animal hospital. He did not. He just told me she had Immunocompromised Hemolytic Anemia and she had 30% chance of surviving. She absolutely needed Oxygen and Blood. They had NEITHER! No emergency equipment or blood. All that was done for her was IV fluids with Steroids which did nothing . I had just moved to Myrtle Beach and I did not know there was an animal hospital right down 17 bypass. If I had known, I would have taken her there. That vet should have told me to take her there for at least a chance to live. I left her with that vet praying she would survive. The next morning Dr. Paul called to tell me my Cassie had passed during the night. All alone probably striving to breathe. I went straight to the vet's office and held my Cassie saying goodbye to her. That I loved her so much. Finally when I was composed enough, I gave her back to staff. Then I was promptly given a bill for 800 dollars. In my opinion, they let her die! I will never forgive them. All they cared about was the money! Dr. Anderson is in my eyes, the worst vet I have known. I am finally writing this review for my sweet Cassie. She didn't deserve to die alone or like she did! So Cassie, this is for you. I will love and miss you forever...

That was an ortho consult several years ago. He was condescending and fairly rude. Have seen him since and he was ok, so I assume it was a less than ideal day for him. The care is very good. My problem is this: They are way overbooked, even one of the ladies who answers the phone told me they don't have enough doctors for the number of clients they have. HIRE MORE. Or stop taking new clients. When I have a sick pet and am told by their vet that they can't schedule them in for two weeks - and to GO TO THE EMERGENCY VET - that's wrong. You are there to be a patient's regular vet, you don't treat them or their people this way. They are also one of the most expensive vets in the area. No wonder people can't afford some vet care.

Coastal Veterinary Care is fantastic. There aren't enough superlatives for Dr. Black and her team,…read moreincluding veterinary tech Erika. We visited this practice for the second time last week in Myrtle Beach from our vacation spot in Sunset Beach. Our first experience was a few years ago when Dr. Black saw our miniature schnauzer Katie, who was an ailing senior citizen. Dr. Black took all the time in the world to examine Katie and to educate my husband on what was going on with her health. She even called my husband after he had returned to Sunset Beach to suggest another medication that might be helpful, and had one of her technicians drop it off at the Food Lion parking lot on her way home! That is how considerate and compassionate she is. We returned last week with our newest mini schnauzer Josie, who had two sets of stitches from an unfortunate encounter with a fox, and our local vet wanted them removed before we returned from vacation. We were so happy to once again call on Dr. Black and enjoyed our experience even more. Her assistant Erika was so nice, and made us feel at home as we waited for Dr. Black. She gave us updates while we were waiting and was very gentle with Josie in getting her ready for her appointment. Dr. Black was as terrific as we remembered her, extremely caring, knowledgeable and gentle with Josie. She removed Josie's stitches and reported that Josie was a perfect patient, and was healing well from her injuries. She is not only a skilled medical professional, but also a very kind and relatable person. If you live in Myrtle Beach with your pet, you are very fortunate to have Dr. Black in your midst! Susan W

He was a senior cat who everyone loved; not just me. He thought he was a dog and never got the memo that he wasn't LOL That's what made him so unique and special; on top of being blind! In his last hours, your staff made an extremely tough decision and moment for me go as smooth as humanly possible. The Dr ( I apologize for forgetting her name) was so extremely compassionate and comforting. Kaitlyn (vet tech) mirrored those actions as well. I was explained how the procedure would go and was walked through it with great compassion. It was overwhelming to see the anguish in their eyes as they performed the task they had to do. In a business where this is fairly routine, it was comforting to feel like a human and "not just a number in line" They walked us into our own room (away from other clients) and gave us time with him before we had to say our good byes. They gave us a mold of his paw print afterwards as a memento of Sig! My next family member will see no others than VCA Palmetto!!!

I adopted a dog from GSHS in March of last year. Later that year I fell and broke my right ankle…read moreand a metatarsal head. I tried for at least 2 months to take care of my dog. I had trained her a lot and was glad to have her. But there came a time when I could not take care of her the way she needed. I couldn't walk her or let her out to do her business because I couldn't walk. My neighbor was walking her for a while. I was in a boot for 10 days then my doctor put me in a cast for 4 weeks. After 5 weeks I had to wear the boot again. All the while I could not walk. While in the boot I knew I had to make other plans. Since I am alone I knew that I would have to take her back because I was not able to take care of her. After the employee took her she told me that I WOULD NOT be able to adopt another dog, their policy is if a dog is returned, you cannot adopt from them again. I told them that I had no way of taking care of her so I thought this was the best thing for her. Obviously not. This was not a return just because I didn't want the dog. I was not physically able to care for her. That didn't make any sense to me. I wanted the dog, but was handicapped too long. It took me over 9 months before I could walk without pain. So now I have to try again to find a dog that fits my lifestyle and my capabilities. Not an easy task but I really hope I find one soon.

While I was in a room I had to wait a few minutes for the vet to come back, but I was glad to be the person waiting with my pet instead of the person whose pet was having a true emergency that needed immediate care. It costs more than the regular vet, but that's why it's an emergency vet. No one wants to work the night shift so you get paid a little bit more when you do. I am thankful for the vet and felt that she was very kind and caring.

The tech took my dog at the 6hr mark and left the room with no word as to what they were doing or if they were going to be doing anything. Turns out they took my dog and put her in a kennel for two hours!! Why take her, if you're not even close to ready to look at her, she would be happier with her parents!! They said the wait "Is because they had one Vet on a Sunday that we had the wait!" Why wouldn't they have an emergency on-call additional vet available? I asked for them to quickly trim her nails and they said yes and later refused. The hospital was so cold we were freezing the entire time so I told the vet and she said sarcastically "I'm cold too!" Well I'm thinking they need to turn off the A/C!!!! I have been a pet owner for over 50 years and this was by far THE WORST TREATMENT I'VE EVER RECEIVED! We had less than five minutes with the vet after 8hrs of waiting!!!!!!! My dog could've died and they simply didn't care. If they are the ONLY AVAILABLE VET, you don't have much choice, but no customer should EVER have to wait 7hrs to see someone, no vet should ever disappear with your dog with ZERO explanation for two hours, and no hospital should be so cold as to make everyone miserable. My dog survived...no thanks to this animal hospital. But to their credit, and $350 later, my dog was given Benadryl and a steroid. But if we a choice, we would never return.
