Wow, this is the one of the nicest vet offices I've visited. Smart, as it puts the owner at ease during what can be a stressful visit. Reception was amazing, really made me and my kitty feel welcome. The doctor and veterinary techs/nurses were kind and took the time to bond/put my kitty at ease before the exam. I've been to a number of vets since moving to SC in 2019. This is the first one where I really felt comfortable with the care.

We were vacationing on HH & our 11 yr old Golden Retriever had an incident where her nail broke off, exposed the quik and there was a lot of blood. Dr. Victor and his AMAZING staff could not have been nicer or more compassionate. They saw us right away & were able to stop the bleeding. They also eased my mind that my girl would be OK. I was given clear instructions on how to care for the wound and the Dr provided all the supplies I needed so I didn't have to go shopping. Island Holistic Vet gets 2 paws up from the golden girl & her momma. Thank you so much for everything. :):)

I took my dogs to see Dr. Victor, at my home vet's recommendation, because I was considering home-cooked meals for them due to some nausea issues even on a hydrolyzed diet. He talked to me about what I was seeing with each dog, and rather than overwhelming me with a major how-to list, he talked through making my initial focus be finding their protein. My first protein trial was going well. I started thinking about the next steps and knew I was overthinking things, so we had a phone conversation on that topic, and he gave me another simple approach. His ability to take something so overwhelming and make it way easier than I was making it was so helpful! I also appreciate that he did not try to sell me any extras during our visit. He explained some items that may be helpful once I found the dogs' protein, but there was no pushy sales pitch, and he did not insist on a follow-up appointment. All he asked is that I let him know what proteins did and did not work for them so he could add it to their charts. The staff at Island Holistic was also wonderful! They were very friendly and on top of things during our visit. When I spoke to any of them on the phone, they were again very polite and professional. If I could offer up an opportunity for improvement, it would be about methods of contact. When I first tried to schedule their appointment, I used their website. I ended up calling about a week later because I did not hear back from them. Also, when I called with my questions about the next steps, I initially left a voicemail on a Friday afternoon. I did not hear back from anybody on the following business day, so I called again Monday afternoon and left a message with the person who answered the phone. I also left a message with his staff 2 days later. I understand this office is very busy due to its capable vets and staff, and I will not ding them for that. I just think they may want to confirm that the website contact form and voicemail are functioning properly.

After going to this clinic for a couple years we decided this wasn’t the right fit for our dog. First: Not sure where the holistic is? Dr Victor is a one man show and practices traditional vet care. Due to only one vet - when you need to get in for an eye or ear or whatever infection / injury-they don’t leave any openings and you have to wait for days or as they told us. Go to the emergency vet. Second: he never examines our dog in front of us. He always retreats to another room. Why? Third: Expensive Fourth: pushes his giant tub of glucosamine on you. After our experiences with him I do not recommend
