However, this review is about, hands down, the VERY BEST veterinarian I have ever had the pleasure to work with, Dr. James Belknap. We came to him with our "foster failure," chunky monkey, big baby, lab/shar pei/pit mix, Daisy, who presented with a large soft tissue sarcoma, but, unfortunately, on her rear leg where she didn't have any extra skin to close the wound after the sarcoma, tissue and surrounding muscle were excised with clean margins. I sought out Dr. Belknap for consultation and surgery solely based on what I was able to ascertain from online research regarding his expertise and experience. Although Dr. Belknap had never seen Daisy before my initial outreach, he went above and beyond +++ to advise and consult long distance helping us to prepare the best possible outcome for Daisy, all without even her first office visit with him. Separation anxiety post-op was a given knowing Daisy's history when she first came to us and Daisy surely wasn't happy about being kenneled for 5 days at the vet without her parents to sleep with. With a 2+ hour drive one way, we had to leave her in their caring hands. Dr. Belknap kept us apprised daily with updates post-op and on the 5th day we picked her up. From that point forward, Dr. Belknap kept in close contact by phone and text, asking for pics on a regular basis so he could see her progress. He worked with our local vet to share progress reports and records. Dr. Belknap was happy to see Daisy post-op as often as we were able to make the drive, which we did every couple of weeks. Daisy subsequently developed a deep tissue infection post-op requiring more intervention and resulting in our administering nightly medication with a catheter into the opening of her leg. After almost 2 months of recovery, Daisy was finally deemed "healed," but Dr. Belknap's care didn't end there. He reached out a couple of weeks later to be sure there wasn't any return of drainage or irritation. All in all, every pet deserves a veterinarian like Dr. James Belknap. Whether you need an expert veterinary surgeon or not, I highly recommend Dr. Belknap for all of your pets needs. Including a pic of the surgery and flap created, all of which is now completely healed. (Don't look if you're squeamish.)

If you're used to veterinary care in a city like Portland or Seattle, you'll find that the prices are extremely reasonable as well. I came here when my 10 year old pitbull Blue developed a Mast tumor. We wanted advice on surgery and, since mast tumors are usually cancerous, Blue's prospects. We had a thoughtful discussion and had Blue's surgery performed here. They took the time to discussion options and prospects and costs. We proceeded with surgery, and they were great again. Surgery was uneventful and Blue bounced back fast. Not too long thereafter, however, Blue's cancer moved to his lymph system, and then we needed palliative care. Again, really helpful, compassionate care and support. They helped us manage Blue's health, and eventually, we had to put him down. Again, we did this here at Oceanside. And again, they were professional and compassionate and just wonderful people. I just really appreciate the care they provided.

It would have been nice if they didn't know if they would have offered to at least call. I also didn't think to ask but didn't even get a pawprint. Granted, I didn't think to ask the Dr any of this as my concentration was on my pet so perhaps it was just the front staff who didn't know. I did receive a nice card from the Dr which I appreciated.

I'm pulling my account immediately. This morning, I called the Ocean Shores Animal Hospital to see if I could get an appointment for my dog, Wilson, because our regular vet did not have an opening. I spoke to Debbie and explained that my dog had been licking a spot next to his tail over the weekend, and the area was now a swollen, open wound. After reviewing my office profile and asking about my previous dogs, Debbie placed me on hold. Then a Margery(?) picked up the line and said that their internet was down??, they couldn't look at their computers and she would have to call me back when their internet was up. Three hours later, Debbie called back to tell me that they could not schedule an appointment with me due to a "conflict of interest". I asked, "What conflict of interest?" She said she didn't know, but that was what she was told. I was puzzled by the vet's response and worried about my dog. We started rattling our brains to figure out what the huge conflict could be to cause a clinic to deny animal care. Can you guess what the conflict of interest is? A person involved with the vet's office is also a member of the Indivisible group that has been harassing my husband, the Mayor. At no point should politics, disagreements, or anything similar take precedence over a pet or family member receiving the care needed to sustain a healthy life. While I waited for three hours, I could have driven to the emergency vet in Olympia. What a heartless thing to do.

Generally speaking, I like this place. It's got It's good and it's bad aspects…read more The good is that it's super affordable compared to my past experience. Vet care has gotten expensive, but here it's pretty cheap. And the care is solid. Decent vets here. Also good is you need no appointment. It's a first come first served drive up clinic. The bad? Well, it's that first come first serve deal. It's busy and waits can be long. If you're the kind of person who likes a prompt appointment so you can get in and out fast, you'll be super frustrated. My typical experience is that we'll show up in the morning--in person as required--and they'll say come back at 1:30. So then after driving all the way there we go home. Then we come back at 1:30. And wait. Sometimes a long time. Most recently we waited two hours in the car with the dogs. Arrived at 1:30. Got in at 3:30. And there goes the day. That said, care is good and inexpensive. So it is what it is. The business model is a mixed bag in this regard.

The staff is very caring and doctor Sonya is an excellent veterinarian and I would recommend this veterinarian clinic to anyone. I have seen where they will go out of their way to help customers that aren't even patients of theirs. That is what excellence and caring is about. I have gone to several clinics here in the area before I came upon GHV clinic. Sadly I was given a misdiagnosis from my then vet and was given treatments on my rottweiler for Cushings disease that she didn't have and pills that she didn't need to take. I ended up going to GVS for an emergency with my rottweiler as my then current vet said he didn't have time to see ElizzaBear until the following week and I couldn't wait that long due to the "Cushings disease". That is when I learned from Dr. Sonya, after she performed multiple tests on ElizzaBear, that ElizzaBear did not have Cushing's disease at all. I was extremely upset about dosing my dog for something that she didn't need. She is now gone but never forgotten. You can imagine my surprise and needless to say, I have been with Dr. Sonya ever since for all of our pets' needs and that was many years ago. I also had another misfortune with another clinic that charged me $50 per pet just for a nail trim. That's completely unacceptable and outrageous! I never went back. Grays Harbor veterinary clinic is not only helpful and caring but their costs are very reasonable.

It's never fun leaving a bad review, but I've been here twice and turns out it wasn't a one-off…read morefluke. For reference, I've had cats in my home the last 13 years. I've moved between three different states and had about five vets in that time. More if you count a few emergency vet visits. I have NEVER had to book a second appointment because of my cat's temperament. My first visit to this office was in Oct 2025. They have signs posted about not serving pets that get agitated, including possible sedation for services. My cat was there for a swollen leg, and was not happy to be there. (And please feel free to enlighten about any cat that enjoys the vet.) He was five at the time and the previous vet never complained about his temperament. This vet, however, was standoffish with him. Her name is Dr. O'Connor. Thankfully, we got through the appointment but I wasn't impressed with her hesitancy to provide service. Fast forward to today, April 2026. I brought both my cats in for their annual wellness exams. They each needed updated vaccines. The tech came in first, checked their weights, and confirmed the services we needed. (Which they don't have right. The thought only one cat needed shots but they both did.) The vet comes in without the vials for shots and made a comment about not having them prepared yet. The first cat goes up and does fine. No shots administered while he was happy though because they weren't in the room... Now the second cat goes up and is not as cooperative. Thankfully, she managed to give him his shot. Now it's time to bring the first cat up again and he's getting defensive. As cats do at the vet! (At least in my experience) She tells me I'll have to bring him back for a "tech appointment" for the shots because he's agitated. His "kitty minutes" as they call them are up. -_- We waited 20 minutes to be seen, then the vet comes in without everything she needs to facilitate the appointment, yet I have to pay a secondary appointment fee now because of the office's negligence and poor bedside manner? My cats behaved how they always behave at the vet and it's never been an issue. It's seems like this vet and certain techs are uncomfortable around animals, frankly. Maybe they're new to the field? Idk I moved to Elma from Lakewood which is why I switched vets. I would rather make the hour drive one way to my previous vet in Tacoma with two cats in tow than deal with this office again. And moving forward, I will. I did book the tech appointment because my cat needs the update on his rabies shot, and I don't want it to be delayed any further. Ultimately, I will adhere to their policies but it's just not the type of service I'm looking for in a vet. I will say, to their credit, that the appointment was originally scheduled for the week before and I had to reschedule last minute. (The cats are indoor outdoor and got out while I was at work. Came home to an empty house) They were very nice about it, and I do recognize they could argue I wasted their time first. My advice - go the Union Ave Vet Hospital in Tacoma and see Dr. Plevinskyi. He's awesome!
