Ocean View Veterinary Hospital

Seeing your beloved pet in pain is one of the most difficult experiences you can imagine. Our experience was made as peaceful and compassionate as possible thanks to Dr. Courtney and the team at Ocean View Vet Hospital. From the moment we arrived, we were met with incredible kindness and understanding. Dr. Courtney spoke to us with such gentle professionalism, taking the time to explain everything clearly while also honoring our emotions. The team handled our beloved poodle with the utmost care, ensuring he was comfortable and calm throughout the entire process. It’s impossible to fully express our gratitude for the respect and warmth we were shown. In a moment of deep sadness, they provided a sense of comfort and dignity that we will never forget. Their empathy is a true gift to the veterinary profession. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled veterinarian, Dr. Courtney and Ocean View were beyond amazing.

Huge thanks to the staff! I had to make the decision to put my señor dog down since she was in terrible pain. I had never brought her to this vet as we are not from the area. They were the only vet open late. They got my doggy in, let us say goodbye, and did not rush us. All staff members were kind, caring, and empathetic. It was a heart wrenching thing to do but I’m grateful they were so good us and my baby.

Dr. Gifford and the team at Ocean View are truly top-tier! We’ve been visiting regularly with our senior dog for years - in fact, for many more years than we thought we’d originally anticipated we’d be able to spend with her, thanks to support from this team! It never ceases to impress me how kind, patient, honest and helpful all the staff members are. We’ve had quite a few challenges with our “Penny,” even including some overnight hospitalization, and they are always responsive, beyond supportive and quick to accommodate any of our routine and/or last-minute needs. We prioritize Penny’s care and adore this team so much that we drive over an hour and a half to see them, as opposed to settling for any local vets. We are particularly grateful, as we’ve been in a palliative care routine, and have recently began preparing for the inevitable… with tears in my eyes, I just can’t say enough positive things about Ocean View, and Dr. Gifford in particular!

First impressions are lasting impressions!!! The premises are very clean and the front desk staff was friendly. The vet tech Louis showed a real interest in my girl. Dr. Gifford took her time with both Piper and I and answered all of my questions.

I had an emergency with my old cat once and they took wonderful care of her. I'm fostering and had an issue with my one foster and they handled it great. staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The Drs are knowledgeable. The assistants are friendly, polite, and accommodating. I'm a part time resident but I wish my vet back home was as good as these folks.
