Very compassionate and caring Veterinarian and staff. They were able to fit me in on a very busy day to tend to my ailing senior dog. When the bloodwork was delayed by the lab due to our coastal weather, Dr. King gave Nugget another exam and B12 shot to help him with his appetite and energy during the delay at no charge to me and gave me all the emergency numbers should we need them. The bloodtests did not reveal good news for us and Dr. King gave us all the options available and the pro/cons in a very kind but straight terms. Nugget's liver failure was so severe that we decided to help him pass on. I've had many dogs in my lifetime and have been fortunate to have good vet care for all of them, but have to say, Dr. King and his staff were the most caring, respectful and kind throughout the process. The cremation service was professional, fast and again, very thoughtful. Thank you, Dr. King and Oak Island Animal Hospital staff. Highly recommended. Read Less

This is not our regular vet. I called when they opened and they were able to fit me in right away. They were really good to my Lucy. They treated her eye and checked for further issues. I will definitely use them again if needed. Read Less

Been going to Dr. King since I moved down here. Close to 13 years now. He's kind and great with every animal I've ever brought it. My grandmother even brought in rescues from puppy mills and he handled the abused dogs very well. Read Less

The doctor took amazing care of my dad's dog, Winston. Winston got in a dog fight and needed stitches, and the vet stitched him up real well. Staff was super nice too. We'll be back for future pet needs when we're in town! Read Less

The WORST kind of vet is a heartless one! To tell a pet parent "your dog is living on a wing and a prayer" is downright mean and rude! THEN to say you have no time to do an X-ray because you have your own clients is disrespectful! Who patronizes such a place? This place will NEVER be our vet! We want a vet with compassion! JERK!

Over the years my father's very special little rescue poodle received excellent care from Dr. King and his staff. They were always very supportive and loving of my folks as well as their dog and we could not have asked for a better experience throughout his life. Read Less

Can't praise this practice enough. Dr. King and his staff make you feel very comfortable. Am very impressed with his knowledge and diagnosis. We feel very fortunate to have found such a good vet in a small town like Oak Island. Highly recommend. Read Less

I was charged 45 dollars for a LOOK at my dog that lasted maybe 5 minutes. Nothing was preformed no temperatures were taken just a look. I will go out of my way to avoid taking my pets there because he was not helpful at all. Read Less

We were at Oak Island for vacation and my service dog chipped a tooth.  Since he needs to be in peak health to assist me, we decided to take him in ASAP.  I called them in the morning and they were able to get us in within 30 minutes of my call.It is a small clinic and may not look like much from outside but both the staff and the veterinarian are wonderful.  They were attentive and kind and took us back to an exam room right away.  I was treated as any other person would be, despite my obvious disability (which often makes people treat me like I'm less intelligent than I am) which is wonderful.  My service dog was at ease and clearly enjoyed the attention he received from all the staff.If your pet needs veterinary attention while on Oak Island, I can't recommend Oak Island Animal Hospital enough!
