Ocean Isle Veterinary Hospital

"Since ZERO stars isn’t possible…. One will have to do. Note to all… 6 of the last 10 reviews for the OIB Vet Hospital are 1 star out of 5…. ONE STAR !!! SHAME ON OIB VET HOSPITAL !!! I brought my Best Buddy in for the 3rd time within the past 9 months (April, July and again today) to be informed that services would not be provided without payment in full. I offered a $100 deposit, with a promise to pay the full balance 5 calendar days (3 business days) later, when my disability payment will be received. Bad business practice!!! SHAME ON OIB VETERINARY HOSPITAL !!! I’ll be taking my business elsewhere."

"Dr. Ben and Dr. Anna are great. They genuinely care about the animals they treat . They are kind and compassionate and really listen to your concerns. Me and my wife are so grateful we found ocean isle vet. Hospital. We know are pets have great people caring for them any time they need them. Highly recommend!!!!"

"Extremely uncaring and lack sympathy and compassion during a time when my cat needed to be seen immediately due to serious medical concerns. My cat has been a patient for over 3 years and I never felt like the vet listened and took the time with me regarding my pets health. Those issues continued to deteriorate to the point that my cat was in pain and had mobility issues. I called all upset and worried, the receptionist was very cold and refused to schedule my pet. She said the veterinarian told her that I needed to take my cat to the emergency hospital in Wilmington. What is the point in establishing your animal with a vet when times of need they are not available and refuse to see them. I was very lucky and found On Point Veterinarian hospital in Myrtle Beach. It was a little further drive from OIB but my cat got excellent care and could be seen that day. The Dr spent a lot of time with me and in evaluating my cat. The staff was so kind and caring. Do not stay with a vet who do not tend to your animals needs and assist in times of need. There are other vets in the community that do truly care about your pet, Ocean Isle Veterinary Hospital is not one of them."

"I recently scheduled an annual exam for my dog and was provided a next day appointment which I attended. However, when I received my bill upon checkout, I noticed they billed me $78 for "Examination Work-In". I was not advised of this "FEE" when I made the appointment. If so, I would've made the appointment two- weeks out, because this was not an emergency appointment. This is NOT a good business practice and in my opinion, gouging! With that said, I would like to add that Dr. Anna is wonderful and attentive."

"Awesome, caring staff and Dr. Worel. We had just moved here and not established veterinary care yet. My dog started having seizures and needed to be seen immediately. The gentle caring staff took us right in and helped us. They have definitely earned our respect and they will be our vets for our new home! Thank you Dr Ben Worel and all the staff we interacted with today."
