Coastal Veterinary Oncology

Unfortunately, our dog was diagnosed with oral melanoma by our regular vet. Our regular vet recommended a second opinion and possible options for treatment from Southern Veterinary Oncology. Not only were the staff friendly and compassionate, Dr. Feldhaeusser was extremely knowledgeable citing her personal experience and references to current clinical studies. She laid out ALL options and was very thorough in her explanation of each. I would and WILL recommend this practice to everyone.

Dr. Daters and his staff are absolutely amazing. They gave us over a year and half more time with our adored doggie. They are super pleasant and helpful in every way we could ever have hoped for. Thanks to each and every one of you !

Dr. Feldhaeusser Is the quintessence of what it means to be a Doctor. Not only providing detailed breakdowns of what was going on, but wasn’t trying to sell me on anything I didn’t need. Her staff were phenomenal to deal with, my dogs last visit for chemo they even all came out to wish him well. What a fantastic group of people. 10 stars if I could.

Dr. Daters and his staff are amazing. When my girl was diagnosed with an Extraskeletal Osteosarcoma 2 years ago, my heart sunk. My vet referred us to CVO right away. I was expecting the worst. Dr. Daters examined her, did tests/bloodwork, and laid out a realistic treatment plan based on her diagnosis. They did not push and just allowed me to decide the best options going forward. I just didn't and don't want her to suffer as much as I knew I would miss her. I am happy to report that a year and a half out from the last chemo treatment, she is doing well. She will be 14 on her next birthday. Thank you Dr. Daters and Frank (front desk nurse) for all that you have done for us. It means more than you can ever know.

Dr daters is the best! I don’t remember leaving that first review 7 months ago but still completely love Dr daters and his staff! Ricky the cat unfortunately didn’t make it but Dr daters helped him live almost a year longer- a good life too . He helped us throughout and guided us when it was time to let him go. Highly recommend coastal veterinary oncology.

Dr. Daters and the whole staff were unbelievably kind & thorough treating me & my very ill cat. Dr. Daters continued to give him chemo & support him when he thought there was still quality of life, but also gently guided me through the next stage, when it was time to transition. He was honest and kind in equal measure. I had been going a large & impersonal practice in another city & I was so grateful that my beloved cat could end up here.

Hands down this was the most compassionate veterinarian experience I’ve had. I would highly recommend them. The commitment and care and overall love that they showed to my dog was phenomenal and even as we moved to end of life steps, they were there for us the whole way and made it an experience that will leave a happy memory in our hearts.
