We continue to have excellent experiences and health treatments for our dogs from Coast View. The staff is helpful, friendly, and willing to answer questions. They assure you understand and agree with the plan for treatment, as well as, following up after providing care. Their facility is clean.

Pricing is part of the VCA so it’s more expensive than at independently owned vet as they are trying to do a monopoly. Give the service and the no fear approach I don’t mind paying the extra.
