Coastal Veterinary Care is fantastic. There aren't enough superlatives for Dr. Black and her team, including 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!

Did you know the average cost of a vet visit in MB is 60.00 I'd like to add that the assistants are friendly. read more

Had an emergency with our pup and we frantically called coastal vet care and they were waiting for us upon arrival. They got us water, we're so supportive and took amazing care of our girl. She needed 4 stitches to close a wound and they explained everything every step of the way. They called the next day to see if she was doing well and asked how WE were doing. Thanks to everyone there, we have now switched our 4 dogs over to coastal and we couldn't be happier. Sunny and family! read more

Coastal Veterinary Care - Veterinarians Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Don't waste your money! $186 to talk to a vet about my dogs ears. Not for them to do anything, just $186 to talk. They didn't bother cleaning his ears or pulling out the hair or anything! Just $186 to talk. The ear flush that I normally pay $26 for was going to cost me almost $90 here! Terrible experience and they don't give a crap! Do Not go here for animal wellness! Only if you have extra money to just throw away! If I could give them zero stars I would! read more

Dr Black started caring for my Senior Corgi Nov 2023. The staff are amazing and always handled my Bonnie with loving arms. Unfortunately, we had to put our beloved Bonnie to sleep 12/31/24 due to a severe uterine infection. She had maybe 48hrs at most. Dr Black let me bring her home for a few hours. She slept in my arms and was able to say goodbye to her sister, Harley (kitty cat). She had Peanut butter and Hersey Kisses. Losing a pet is never easy, but their patience and empathy for our breaking hearts didn't budge. They cried tears with us knowing the pain we are enduring. We opted to use their vendor for cremation and the love and care put into her return to us is something I cannot put into words. Just tears of pain and relief. Hug your babies tight tonight. RIP Bonnie 06/29/2008-12/31/24 Thank you to the staff for your help during this difficult time. Special mentions to Emily, you're an Angel read more

Coastal Veterinary Care - My dog passed away at 16,5yrs old and this is what I received back from the vet clinic. - Veterinarians Near Me - Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

I have a VERY nervous pup and I cannot say enough good things about this vet clinic. Dr. Black takes her time and never pushes my dog beyond her comfort zone. She always listens to her and watches physical cues and makes sure she has a good experience. We just had to have a procedure where she required sedation and the level of care Dr. Black, Deb and John provided was beyond outstanding. They were extremely professional, caring, and explained every step of the process to make sure both my pup and I were comfortable. Highly recommend if seeking caring, compassionate and knowledgeable care! read more

We had coastal veterinary care give our cat a check up, including bloodwork. The results came back in a few days as promised. I received a text with a summary of the results and an invite to call if I had questions. I did call, not expecting much more detail. But Christy was great and walked me through the report and then offering to email it to me which she did. Nice customer service. read more

My utmost thanks to Dr. Black and her staff. They are far and away the most caring veterinary office the we have ever encountered. Helped us through some difficult situations and we are forever grateful. read more

We were visiting from Sunset Beach from Virginia. Our 13 1/2 year old miniature schnauzer, Katie, had been getting medication for congestive hear failure for over a year. When her CHF was diagnosed the cardiologists told us we could expect 6 months to a year. Katie did very well on her medication and remained playful and energetic. She took a drastic downturn while we were in NC. Lethargic, not eating, and drinking infrequently, etc. We tried many vet offices, in NC, but none of which was seeing new patients. One of them recommended Coastal Veterinary Care. They had us bring Katie in, examined her, and did lab work. Evidently, the CHC medication had taken a toll on Katie. Dr. Black and her staff were very kind. They prescribed an appetite stimulant but told us that Katie was very ill but might benefit from hospitalization. We decided that we would rather she spend her remaining time with our extended family who had converged on NC. Bree brought an additional appetite stimulant to us in NC - she evidently lived not too far from where we were staying. We brought Katie home and took her to her regular vet when that office opened on Monday. We all agreed that Katie was telling us it was time for her to begin a new adventure and we said our goodbyes as she rested on my lap. Dr. Black and her staff were wonderful. I whole heartedly recommend Coastal Veterinary care. read more

When I moved to NC from CA, my biggest worry was finding a good veterinarian. I had a 20+ year partnership with my veterinarian who I trusted 100% In CA. After trying one clinic that was not a good fit, I found Coastal Veterinary Care. Dr. Black has a calm, knowledgeable demeanor and will take the time to do the research if she feels the need in order to get a thorough answer. The clinic is clean, modern and comfortable. Another very important asset is the great veterinary technicians. Hannan, Bree & Heather are knowledgeable & skilled. What I appreciate most is how gentle they are with my cats. It's scary for them to be there but the vet technicians are very comforting and gentle. Additionally, I never feel like a number there. Everyone remembers me, my pets and works with me as a partner in my pets' health. read more

From the time we first made the appointment to the end of our visit, we were treated with the utmost care and professionalism from the entire staff. Dr. Black, Bree, Hannan, and Emily truly care about the health, comfort, and well-being of the pets (and owners) under their care. They went above and beyond in diagnosing and then teaching how to administer the medications properly. We are so glad we found this wonderful team who truly love what they do! Very clean and welcoming atmosphere without the typical clinical feel to it, too! read more

Dr Black and her staff rock! They take the best possible care of my Scottish Fold Galen! I highly recommend!

If you're looking for a veterinarian who is compassionate, forget Dr. Black and staff. We took our 2 year old Sheppard who had and ear infection to her last week (we are established patients). Neither she nor her staff were able to handle him - he's very sweet but also very big so they told us that they couldn't help him. They sent us home with medication to sedate him and told us to come back next week. We were given nothing for pain or any antibiotics. Our boy had to live with a very painful double ear infection for five more days until they were able to fit him in again. When we questioned this length of time we were told to find another vet if we felt we needed to. They were too busy and were not able to fit in any more visits. They are understaffed and overwhelmed. Clearly the pain he was in was acceptable to them. read more

My sister & I had a most wonderful experience at CVC & with Dr. Black. We just moved from NY to Calabash NC last month & have been researching veterinarians for both of our pups. Unfortunately my sister's dog needed immediate attention and we started calling local vets to see if we could bring Piper in. Although Waterway could not see Piper, they gave us the name of Coastal Veterinary Care & Dr. Black. Huge thank you to Waterway for suggesting them! Bree & Dr. Black were so pleasant & welcoming. They both demonstrated such care & concern for both Piper & us. They shared some valuable information & didn't try to sell us unnecessary meds,tests or products. We appreciated their method of scheduling appointments & visits. After this experience, both my sister & I registered to become clients. Thank you Dr. Black & Bree for seeing us & taking us on as clients. You folks are awesome! PS .... Piper loved you too! read more
