I don't understand all these raving reviews with none mentioning the extremely expensive prices this vet charges.  I guess these other people have money and time to waste.  Over the last year, I spent $1200 to determine that my dog had urinary incontinence.  Something I asked about from the start and also suggested the drug they ultimately ended up prescribing after all the testing.  Recently, I decided to purchase my Proin from Chewy.com because they charged a third of what Park West Vet would make me pay.  I was very upset to get an email from Chewy saying the vet would not verbally confirm my order over the phone, I had to go and get a paper prescription from them and mail it.  Park West Vet had absolutely no consideration for my time.  Also, they stopped carrying Trifexis and told me my dog was overdue for a heartworm test.  They told me they now sold Heart Guard and the dog would have to take 2 pills each month that would cost around $36 dollars a month to treat fleas and heart worms.  Chewy charges $77 for 6 months of Trifexis which treats both.  I asked how much the heartworm test was and was told $50.  I called another vet and it was $30.  I took my dog to the other vet.  When Chewy called the new vet this office verbally told Chewy to fill my order for Proin and Trifexis.  Park West Vet is only for people who want to overpay so they can work in a fancy new building.  Park West Vet also does not value your time.  There was absolutely no reason they could not tell Chew.com to fill my order for Prion over the phone.  I guess all the money I paid them over the last year was not enough for this courtesy.

Absolutely in love with this practice. As a dog trainer, it is important to me that the staff and veterinarian have my dogs' best interest in mind and that is exactly what I feel and get every time we come for a visit. The Fear Free practices that are used during our visits help my dogs experience as little stress as possible, and in fact they ENJOY it! Dr. Tucker is phenomenally thorough, personable, and professional each time we see her. I drive from Augusta, GA just to see her as do some of my clients and friends. The drive and cost are more than worth the peace of mind knowing that my dogs are well cared for by the best. Read Less

The vets at Park West are good, however, they are expensive! I took my two dogs in for a wellness check and rabies on 1/15/19 (Pomeranian and Maltese) and the bill was $600. Both animals were not sick in the least and there were no prescriptions involved. I did ask for a pain prescription for my older dog who occasionally gets neck pain, but never received it. No thank you! I spoke to my Pomeranian breeder on John's Island about this, and she nearly had a heart attack. I will now be going to her vet at a great reduction in cost. I mentioned the price issue with Park West, but they didn't seem to care when I was there, and when I called today, again, they didn't bother to go over the bill for errors. So after 3 years we have parted ways. Also, beware of over-vaccination. It is worth while to do some research on Google. It is a terrible problem. Looks like the patients are paying a high price so Park West can have a huge new facility. There are plenty of other vets in the area who do not charge outrageous prices and offer quality care.

I just got a new puppy and took her in for a wellness check.  The staff was so sweet and the tech and Dr Pate were very kind and caring.  They treated my Rosie as if she were their own.  Dr Pate called me this morning just to check on Rosie.  So nice to have this right in my neighborhood. I highly recommend Park West Vets. Read Less

We came here through providence 6 years ago and our dogs (and us) are treated so well that we wouldn't go anywhere is. They're almost like family. Dr. Butler has won our complete confidence. You add a category-I add 5 Stars. They submit everything for insurance and that in itself is wonderful. Read Less

We recently went to PW Veterinary to get our senior indoor cats checked out. As new clients they were friendly from beginning to end. Making the appointments was easy, bringing in 2 cats in carriers was easy. The whole process, 2 visits over 3 weeks went well. A strange sneezing had developed with our cats, so it was time for a check up. Frankly it had been a LONG time, as the cats hate going places. But the staff handled both with enthusiasm and care, and when it was time to see the vet she was professional and just as caring. The problem was diagnosed, a treatment of some shots to rid the nasal infection, and we were good to go. It was nice to find a vet again that made us feel welcome and comfortable. And with such other happy client Yelp reviews here, we were expecting such good care, attention and detail to service. We will be back. Read Less

My Boston Terriers Roxy and Daisy loved Dr. Goldsmith, who was practical and fiscally responsible. I can always Trust Park West Vet to take care of my animals, whether it is a simple check-up or a problem that needs adressed. Best in town! Read Less

Park West and Dr. Jay have been taking care of the dogs at Windwood Farm Home for Children for many years. Not only do they take amazing care of our animals, they make sure to educate our boys, who often accompany us on our visits, on caring for the dogs. He understands the importance our animals play in the healing process of the children we serve. He treats our animals and our children as if they were a part of his family! His compassion and caring nature is so important to us and our children. It's so exciting for us to visit Park West Vet, we use it as an educational reward outing and therapeutic tool. We so grateful for their support and care. Read Less

I had a great experience when I used Park West Vet over six years ago.  I used to bring my lab Molson there.  Molson was the the love of my life, and he has been in heaven for over four years.  Park West still sends me emails wishing Molson a happy birthday and reminders for his check ups.  I have called and emailed them letting them know that he is no longer alive and to please stop sending me emails, but to no avail. I just got an email wishing him a happy birthday this morning, and now I am bawling at work.  PLEASE be cognizant when clients/former clients call to tell you their pet has passed. Read Less

Love love love Park West Vet. They take such good care of my dogs.  I had a dog with diabetes that Dr Goldsmith managed to get control of his blood sugar while he was being treated for lymphoma. He and Dr Lester have taken care of my older Scottie who has several health issues. I have no doubt he wouldn't have seen 13 1/2 yrs had it not been for their knowledge and expertise.  Cannot thank them enough - highly recommend them to all my friends and neighbors! Read Less

This place is TERRIBLE. I was calling to get pricing on my dog's visit and i got hung up on... TWICE. The receptionist was really unprofessional. She was laughing and not seeiming to care what i was telling her about my dog. i can't imagine how it would be if my dog was actually a patient and needed to be taken care of they obviously don't take this seriously.

I am a disabled Veteran and I have a service dog name Sky. I received her from an organization called Healing4Heroes approximately 1 month ago. Today was my first time going to a veterinarian and I was a mess. Now that we are home and have a treatment plan. I am speechless about the events that have occurred today. I am relieved. The staff were amazing. Wow. They were so gentle and kind to Sky and myself. I am so blessed to have Healing4Heroes and Park West Veterinary Associates support Sky and I on our journey in life.

Park West Vet is far and away the best veterinarian's office I've ever been a client at! I credit Dr. Tracy Schlicksup with saving my cat's life and improving his quality of life 100%--which is saying a lot because he had been to so many vets before we found PWV. In addition, the office staff and vet techs are super friendly and helpful, which makes the experience that much better.I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a new vet! Read Less

We have an elderly (very) kitty that we love dearly, but I am afraid we will need to let him go soon. Dr. Butler and staff have been absolutely wonderful with their expertise and caring treatment over the past months. We hope to keep him comfortable as long as we can. Read Less

We moved to Mt P 3 years ago, and due to its convenient location, we took both our dog and cat to PW Vet.  All the doctors have been great, very caring about each of our pets.  The vet techs seem to know everyone's pets by name.  And they are always very helpful on the phone.  Our German Shepherd is aging (11), and I had noticed that she was dragging one of her rear legs on our morning walks.  Dr. Goldsmith recommended an appointment with their newest member of the staff, Dr. Pate, whose specialty is rehabilitation for animals.  Dr. Pate is wonderful, and although we've determined our dog has a genetic condition which is incurable, she was able to give us therapeutic exercises to slow the progression of the disease.Friends have recommended other vets in the area, but we have no interest in moving due to the excellent care our pets have received at Park West Vet.

We've been going to Park West Vet for six years. The staff there is amazing and have helped us through numerous emergencies and on-going health issues with our three dogs. All of the vets there are wonderful and spend the time to go over every concern during our visits. They also always follow up the day after a visit and quickly call back if you ever have questions between visits. One of our dogs is in her senior years now, and they have gone above and beyond to show her compassion and make sure she is as happy and comfortable as possible. Read Less

If you want to take your furry friend to a place where you know they will be loved and cared for, take them to Park West Vet. All of the girls that work in here with the Veterinarians are sweet and loving to every animal that comes in there. My personal favorite is Becky- she is ALWAYS so excited to see you and your pet and takes such great care of them. Dr. Jay is the BEST and has hired a really good team of people. You will not go wrong choosing Park West as your second home for your pet. Read Less

Park West Vet has been our vet for many years. We have seen all the providers who have been exceptional across the board. The staff are compassionate, friendly, and incredibly responsive. We couldn't be more grateful to have them take such wonderful care of our three fur babies. Thanks guys! Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about Park West Veterinary- everyone there is friendly, caring, and patient and I truly feel that they treat your pets as if they were their own. We unfortunately came to them at the end of our cat's life but even during the short time she was in their care the staff took time to get to know her, answered all of our questions, and returned phone calls promptly. When we made the difficult decision to have her put to sleep, they made time for us to come in before they closed on a Saturday so that she wouldn't have to suffer until they re-opened on Monday. Their kindness during this whole experience meant the world to two very sad pet parents.I would not hesitate to recommend Park West Veterinary to any pet owner and any future pets we have will definitely be in their care. Read Less

Thank you, guys, so much. I just can't even thank you enough for being so supportive and accommodating. I felt your genuineness and know that you truly cared about our experience with you. Dr. Jay, Vanessa, Marion, Chelsea, Kelly, you answered my calls, you gave me advice, you got us in right away when I was too worried to wait. I left your office sad, but knowing we were all on the same page regarding Scarlett's care. I never felt pressured into doing anything other than what I felt I could for her. Thanks for everything.

Just lovely and helpful staff!  Being new to the area, i sent a web inquiry. They called within an hour. So helpful in answering my questions!  Then allowed me to come for a tour and meet a doctor on staff for a consultation. That solidified it for me!!!  These were our new docs. Sadly, we were back the next week. And again, just as kind and helpful. Love! Read Less

These guys are awesome!!!!Dr Jay Goldsmith and Dr Pate are wonderful! The other docs are great, too! The staff has incredible customer service! They are so kind and caring! They are such a great group! My pets could not be in better hands!!! Read Less

I had an emergency where I had bring both of my dogs to Park West Vet. They are so patient, kind and understanding. They made everything so easy and made my pups feel very comfortable too! I highly recommend them to everyone in the area! Read Less

Just switched to this practice and wish we would have done it years ago! The front office staff was so welcoming, kind, and efficient. Dr Butler and both vet techs were amazing. Answered all of our questions. Offered different options for our puppy with reoccurring ear infections. They even managed to get our anxious/scared dog to warm up to them. We are still in shock! Wonderful visit!! Thank you! Read Less

We have been seeing Dr. Lester and I cannot recommend her enough! She has been such a pleasure! I have an 80 pound, somewhat aggressive boxer and she handles him so well. She's very loving and compassionate and she really takes time to listen to and answer all of your questions. I absolutely trust Dr. Lester taking care of my boys and am so happy we found her! Read Less

Dr. Butler and the Park West family took care of our dog Penny for several years. Before Park West I had very poor experiences at other vets due to various reasons. I've never experienced such love and care than when we took Penny to see the staff at Park West. Everyone from the front office staff to the Vet techs to the doctors were nothing short of amazing. Penny had a lot of health issues and unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge a little over a month ago but the compassion that was shown to us and our sweet girl will always bring us peace. I cannot say enough about this practice and when it's time for the next pet we will back there! Read Less

I recently saw Dr. Justin Butler and he took great care of my beagle Professor.  All of the ladies at the front desk were super friendly and welcoming.  I received a referral here from another vet and so I felt like I was in good hands immediately. Read Less

Our family has been taking our furry family members to Dr Jay and the staff at Park West Vet for over 10 years now. They are always extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Our dog, Lucy, whines until Libby comes around the counter to greet her and give her a tummy rub! The entire staff truly cares and it shows. If you are looking for excellent care for your pets you can't go wrong with Park West Veterinary. Read Less

My French Bulldog Madeline is more than a pet.  She is family.  She also has a full wardrobe, but that's another story.I adored my vet back in Atlanta, so I just assumed wherever I found for her to go in Mount Pleasant would pale by comparison.  Wrong!  Park West Veterinary Associates is amazing.  Everyone who works here couldn't be any nicer.  Initially we'd been seeing whichever vet was available when we needed an appointment.  However, Madeline somehow scratched her eyeball at doggie daycare and we wound up seeing Dr. Butler three times in one week.  Madeline's eyeball is fine now thank goodness.  After this whole ordeal (way worse for me than the dog), we only see Dr. Butler.  His bedside manner is better than any human or dog doctor I've ever encountered.  Major shout out to all of the vet techs for being able to trim her nails and clean her ears without any protest as well.Sure, no one wants to go to the vet, pets and humans alike, but Park West Veterinary is wonderful.  They treat my princess like family while giving her the best treatment possible and that's what counts most.

I have been coming to this Veterinary Office since I moved here over two years ago and I guess forgot to write a review. They are all beyond wonderful here. Caring, Kind, Knowledgeable & Helpful. I recently got a little Bulldog and it being my first ever dog I am a little apprehensive about her care & well being. So, I take her in for a baseline assessment and blood work. Dr. Justin Butler was just phenomenal with her. My dog is very skittish, especially with men and he had her calm and cooperative within minutes of meeting him. He did a thorough verbal & physical assessment, checking out every bodily system with skill and ease. Providing all needed shots and vaccinations  His techs and he spent about an hour with me, answering all of my silly naive questions and reassuring me about Bulldog behavior, both medical and social needs. The visit was expensive but then again I believe you get what you pay for and I am happy with the services provided. Dr. Butler called me promptly the following morning with the lab results and again spent about fifteen minutes on the phone talking those results through with me and discussing further options with me. They have a lovely clean welcoming waiting area with tea coffee, cold drinks on offer. They offer Care Credit should the need arise. I discussed my concern re. cost and they were very upfront advising how I could cut costs and still obtain the same service. I feel like I have a trusting reliable source of veterinary care, right on my door step and for that I am very grateful. I have never had an issue obtaining an appointment and they are open Saturday mornings. Read Less

I love Park West Veterinary! The doctors and staff are so knowledgeable, and they truly love the animals in their care. When my husband and I moved here two years ago, we knew no one, but when I called PWV to talk about possibly bringing our cat to them, I was greeted in such a friendly way that I felt like I'd been a customer there my whole life. I can't say enough about what a great place this is. I am so glad Inky has the Park West team looking after him! Read Less

Best vet practice in the low country. Dr. Lester is caring, compassionate and on her game. I would trust her with any animal, a young puppy to an old cat in its final life stages. Its no wonder they are constantly ranked the best. And the tech's and girls up front - first class all the way! Read Less

The best vet office I have been to in the Charleston area. I have three dogs, and started taking my newest puppy here after a friend recommended it. Every staff member is kind, friendly and so helpful! They are able to give you prices up front. Currently if you go in for a visit and Instagram while there or tag the visit on Facebook you can get a free nexguard. Read Less

Excellent, competent and compassionate care. I have seen three different veterinarians here (Dr. Butler, Dr. Lester and Dr. Schlicksup) and they are equally fantastic, the vet techs are amazing too. All the doctors and staff I've interacted with have been extremely thorough, patient and kind. I drive all the way from downtown Charleston because I am 100% confident that my dog will receive the best possible care here, and that the doctors will take the time necessary to address all of my concerns. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and accommodating. The space is pristine and very relaxing. I can not recommend them enough! Read Less

After moving, we went through a few vets to find the right one. We're so thankful to have found Park West! Not only do they have the kindest staff, but they take incredible care of Nelli, our Boykin Spaniel, which is all I could ask for. I felt comfortable leaving her during a work day for a procedure after a scare last fall. They called before and after the procedure to let me know how she did. And as soon as they found out the results, they called (with good news, thankfully)! A week later, they followed up to see how she was doing. They always spend ample time with Nelli and make her at ease. I'm so thankful for this wonderful group! Read Less

I've been taking my boys to Park West Vet since 2008. I had to move away for a few years, and missed them terribly! No other practices lived up to the care and service we received at Park West. After recently moving back to the area, I was so thrilled to be able to bring my boys back (especially since they're getting older now). We have been through allergy testing, dental surgeries, eye surgeries, and more with the team at Park West, and we always feel cared for and loved. Team members take the time to get to know you and your pets, and that makes a huge difference. There are also no wait times for appointments, which is fantastic knowing you won't have to spend hours at the vet. I'm also thrilled to know that they are now offering holistic integrative medicine options from Dr. Pate, especially now that my guys are getting older. I recommend Park West Vet to all my Mount Pleasant friends with furbabies there is just no other option in my opinion if you're looking for the best quality and the best care for your pets. I really can't say enough good things about the team here!Read Less

The doctors and staff at Park West Veterinary are nothing short of incredible! From puppy vaccines to a cut paw requiring surgery, my dog has received the absolute best care! Everyone is always so helpful, professional, and friendly- my pup actually looks forward to coming to the vet! Thanks for everything y'all do! Read Less

My husband and I have had several pets through the years, and have moved to two different states during that time. Out of  all the vets that we have had, Park West Veterinary has been the best. All the techs and the doctors go out of their way to make you and your pet seem special. They really care about finding the best treatment for your pet. They go above and beyond for them. We've never had a vet call us to find out how our pet was doing, even after a simple annual checkup. The doctors take their time explaining everything to you, no matter how simple or complicated your questions are - from typical pet behavior to surgeries, medicines or annual physicals. I never feel like I've asked a dumb question.I would recommend Park West Vet Assoc to anyone moving to this area! Read Less

Took my dog in two days ago for an ear infection. She had been itchy on her body as well for some time which I attributed to an allergic reaction she was having to some food. Turns out it was a form of skin infection. Two days later with the proper meds, both her ears are looking better, her skin is noticeably less red/pink, and she's not scratching herself nearly as much. The team there was friendly, forthright, and pretty clear on the various explanations they gave me in her condition. Lily is now wagging her tail more, more playful, and just seems happier. Thank you, Park West Vets! Read Less

The doctors and staff are the best! Dr. Schlicksup is wonderful and always takes time to answer all of my questions and I never feel rushed. I also really appreciate that they always try to make room and get you an appointment when they know you are worried about your pet, even on a Saturday! You can tell everyone loves their jobs and truly cares about both you and your pet! I wouldn't think of going to any other Vet. Read Less

My dogs have been loyal patients of PWVA for over ten years. While the two dogs in our family now are ages 5 and 3, the staff at PWVA also cared for our two previous dogs, who lived to be almost 15 and 13. Those two dogs had their share of "old age" issues, and I know that the knowledgeable and caring team at PWVA gave them a better quality of life in their senior years. The two dogs in our family now have also had their share of issues, the 5 year old having done battle with autoimmune deficiencies, including a blood transfusion when he was 5 months old, and the 3 year old battling leg/hip issues. Having been with PWVA for so long, there's no one else I would entrust with their care. The compassion the entire staff exudes is first-rate, which matters greatly to me...nobody ever wants to see their beloved pets regarded as a "number" or "case file," and that's not the approach at PWVA. The team of doctors and vet techs are also actively involved in their community, taking part in a host of various outreach programs. For instance, they recently put on a "Be a Veterinarian Day" at the clinic, where children of patients' families could immerse themselves in the day-to-day experiences of being a vet. I took my 4 year-old son, and it meant the world to him that the PWVA staff took such great time and care with him, really demonstrating -- hands-on -- what it means to be a vet. In sum, the entire team at PWVA truly "walks the walk," as opposed to merely "talks the talk." They are educated, knowledgable, genuine, caring and kind-hearted people, who have a sincere passion for the betterment of the pets' health and well-being. Perhaps the most ringing endorsement of all, though, are the pets themselves. Never before PWVA have I taken my dogs to a clinic where, once the dogs realize where we're going, they get excited. They're happy in the car when we're on the way, and they're happy when they're picked up. Read Less

Wonderful vet!The Park West staff is very friendly and always know Matti and I when we stop in. Matti loves coming here, mostly I think because she always has a positive experience and is so loved. They are relatively timely with appointments. I've only waited about 10 mins. max after my appointment time to be seen. They did have a doctor move recently, and a new one join in her place. So far so good from my experience with Dr. Lester. She's very knowledgable and gentle with Matti, making for a pleasant experience instead of the dreaded vet visit. Highly recommend! Read Less

I agree with another reviewer - I've never had a better experience at a veterinarian's office. I had recently switched from another Mt. Pleasant vet practice where although the doctors were okay - the front desk staff was awful. Walking in to Park West Vet Assoc for the first time was like entering another world. (From what I understand, I'm one one of several who have left the other unfortunate practice.) Everyone from the cheerful reception staff to Dr. Lester was wonderful - caring, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. It's obvious Dr. Lester adores dogs and loves her work. The vet tech was just as caring and knowledgeable. I'm so grateful to have found this practice. Read Less

I have never had a better experience with a vet office! Each and every time we go in, or call, everyone is professional and friendly and so helpful- and they always know us! Taking that extra step to know your clients is customer service at its best- it keeps us coming back and stopping in to say hi, even when we don't have an appointment. And of course the level of care is top notch, we have never left feeling like something was unexplained or that our pets weren't taken care of. Read Less

Face it, no one really wants to take a precious fur kid to the Vet ...  the visits are expensive and the news is usually not good; however, there's something about Park West Veterinary Associates that makes me actually schedule Wellness visits to keep Teddy's health in check.Maybe, it's the friendly, knowledgeable techs and front office staff ... or Dr. Jay's (Jay Goldsmith, DVM) great 'bedside manner' ... or, his 'right on' ability to nail a diagnosis and get an actionable treatment plan going ... or,  the fact that he returns calls, or, that I can purchase my furkid's dental hygiene products at the same price as on Amazon (and save the shipping), or, that the practice is compassionate and offers CareCredit (should I need it), or, ...Maybe, the best way to sum up our relationship is that Teddy does not start to shake and cry when we pull up and if he's happy ... that means the world to me!

I can't tell you have fortunate I feel to have Dr. Jay and his team to care for my Coco!  They are always so patient and loving....taking the time to make sure my questions and concerns are addressed.  They spend so much time with you and I really appreciate the high level of training that they give.  Love them!

Park West Vet has the BEST doctors & staff in the Lowcountry!!!  Their office is immaculate.  It always looks great and smells so clean.  Their veterinarians are so compassionate and attentive.  The entire staff always remembers us and our dogs by name.We've been taking our family pets there for nearly 10 years.  We went through the heartbreaking loss of our first dog from old age.  Park West Vet did everything in their power to keep her comfortable in her last months and they made her passing as peaceful as possible.  They sent a very kind condolence card afterward.I couldn't be more impressed or recommend them more enthusiastically!!!

I've used Park West Veterinary a handful of times over the years. The staff is very friendly and exceptionally caring towards my pooch. The office is beautiful as well and I never had trouble getting an appointment. I have another vet that I now go to regularly for appointments, but until I started doing them myself, I used to bring my dog by for nail trims every so often too. It's convenient being in Park West, but you do pay the Park West premium. That's ultimately why I ended up searching out somewhere else. If you're near Park West and don't mind paying a bit extra, it's a great office. Read Less

Woohoo is absolutely right!I've been taking my 2 Shih tzus to Dr. Jay for over 6 years.  Six months ago when one passed, the entire staff at Park West Vet was so gracious and kind and empathetic to such a tragic event.  Needless to say, I was a mess and they could not have shown more kindness or been more discreet when I had to take him there to be officially pronounced as passed.Over the course of my time with them, they've always advised as to what was best for my pups, and never once did I ever feel that they were over-recommending anything that wasn't needed. The entire staff, without exception, treats my dogs as if they were their own and everyone is ALWAYS such a pleasure to interact with.I've now added an 8 yr old Poo-Shon to my family and I look forward to many years of visits at Park West Vet with him and my 12 yr old Shih tzu.
