Veterinarians near Coronado

“The staff at purple paws is incredible! My 10 year old cat was extremely sick and they were able to take her in right away, even as a new patient. Dr. Tugend saved her life. We're three weeks out from treatment now and she is 100% better and it's like she was never sick. They're fairly priced and very knowledgeable. I'm so grateful for everyone at Purple Paws and because of them my cat is still alive and well.“

“This clinic is staffed by the most caring people I have ever encountered at a Veterinary office. Highly recommend. Blanche LeMieux was treated like a queen. Which of course she is.“

“Great local vet on the coastal slope that provides reasonable care. Always easy to get ahold of and is a great place to pick up prescriptions and/or get jabs for your pets. Staff is friendly and helpful.“

“The staff is wonderful and my pups are very well taken care of. I highly recommend Pacific Pet Hospital.“

“We love ABC Veterinary Hospital in PB and they take such good care of our little furbaby. We've had bad experiences with other places but have finally found 'our vet' in SD.“

“Doctor is friendly, knowledgeable, great with my older dog. She's conservative in what she recommends and my best ever Vet!
The staff are just so welcoming and make you feel happy to be there. They get a 5-star as well!!!“

“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 “

“Whether you make a phone call or walk through the front door it's immediately evident that everyone at RSCPC is there to help your furry friend. The staff at the front desk, the doctors, the techs and everyone behind the scenes truly work to give my dogs the best care. They take the time to explain everything I need to know about procedures and medications - and they make a point of getting to know my dogs' specific personalities and needs. Thank you Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic!“

“Amazing staff, very compassionate and sweet, and smart and thorough! They know all the right ways to comfort your pet during a vet visit, and they’re a talented team! Highly recommended going here for quality pet care!“

“The dedication and compassion of everyone at Southpaw is unmatched. By far the best vet office we have ever experienced in San Diego!“

“I am so happy with El Cerrito Veterinary Hospital. After moving from the East Coast to La Mesa it took me several years to find a vet practice for my cats. How I wish I'd found El Cerrito right away. 100% perfect in every way1“

“This is my review for Neva. I think Neva is a wonderful and very caring and very knowledgeable technician. I had a great experience at South Bay Veterinary because of her and Dr. Fountain. I think Neva is a GREAT ASSET to South Bay Veterinary.
Neva was WONDERFUL and makes me want to come back to South Bay Veterinary.
Thank You!

“I recently took my dog Sheeva to Rose Canyon Animal Hospital to be spayed, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Dr. Hanks and the entire staff were absolutely amazing.

Dr. Hanks is kind, thorough, and truly cares about his patients. He made me feel completely comfortable and confident about Sheeva’s procedure, answering all my questions with patience and compassion. The staff was so warm and attentive, and I could tell Sheeva was in the best hands possible.

After her surgery, they gave her so much love and made sure I had everything I needed to take care of her at home. She recovered so smoothly thanks to the excellent care she received.

I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Hanks and the Rose Canyon team, they treated Sheeva like one of their own. If you’re looking for a vet who combines skill, compassion, and genuine love for animals, this is the place to go.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!“

“Great experience!! Staff and Dr are awesome!! Spouse and I are linked to the military so we are in San Diego temporarily and on a strict budget. We have 2 cats and a dog. This establishment is super affordable with excellent service. I strongly recommend!! They have a great app and commutation via text. Building is a lil run down but I don’t think they are in business for a big profits. A+++++!!“

“My dog is the most anxious and not very easy to handle and Dr Martinez has the magic touch! Even my dog trainer said I got a special one [dog]. Dr Martinez has been Patient, joyful and caring! Cooper definitely has a favorite! I'm always thankful for Dr Martinez, thank you for all you do.“

“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!“

“Dawn came to our home yesterday to help us humanely send our little 8.8lbs chi/min pin to rest. She was kind, affordable, had availability in her schedule, and was able to walk us through the entire process while also considering our deep loss. 10/10 stars. Thank you Dawn for helping us with this challenging transition for our fur baby Nicky. We appreciate your love, kindness, support and deep compassion through this really difficult time. ???“

The veterinarian was very professional, very caring and considerate and she took extra time to explain everything to us about our dogs
A huge thank you to the doctor and to all of the staff at the Harmony Animal hospital.“

“I love this place and so do my dogs. The doctors are knowledgeable and good at listening to my concerns but the staff is superb. I especially want to thank Dee for her kindness and compassion. She has been instrumental in caring for my dogs over the years and has truly gone the extra mile. Dee knows her stuff and has calmed me down when my dogs have been sick, comforted me when my Scooby passed away and has befriended all the foster dogs I bring in. I volunteer for a dog rescue and highly recommend this clinic for all your veterinary needs.“
