Charleston Veterinary Internal Medicine

The staff here took care of my girl and Dr. Jacobson had to do an emergency procedure. He was very kind and delivered the news as delicately as possible that our time was limited. Only about 4 days after our visit she unfortunately passed away in her sleep but we did all we could. She at least seemed very comfortable in her last few days.

I can’t even begin to explain what an incredible experience this was for us and for our dog! The environment is calm and welcoming which immediately reduces stress for all involved. The staff is kind, patient and caring. They took as much time as needed to make sure our dog was comfortable and that we understood every possible scenario and outcome. We can’t thank them all enough for being so amazing!

Dr. Rittenburg and her staff saved my pup. She had been seen daily at her vet office for over a week, then spent another 4 days in the animal hospital and NO ONE took care of her and performed the right tests like Dr. Rittenburg. She has always been so compassionate and responsive when I needed her. I feel really lucky (understatement) to have found her and that I took my fur baby in for a second opinion. Every day I get to snuggle my pup and am grateful for this practice. They are truly kind souls.

I was referred to the clinic by my primary vet when my frenchie started having increased thirst issues and we were hitting a wall with finding a solution. I was able to get an appointment scheduled right away! The office is beautiful, clean and very welcoming. I can’t say enough about the staff-from the front desk to the nurses to Doctor Rebecca, everyone is so friendly and amazing. They were so sweet to my dog and explained everything to me. It’s a very calm environment that is not as stressful as your every day vet. They were well prepared before my visit and had done plenty of research on my dog’s history. They were able to write up a treatment plan for me quickly and set up an appointment the next day to get all her tests done! I felt so comfortable leaving her there all day even havin

When my 14yo dog was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, Charleston Veterinary Internal Medicine got us in almost immediately. When I arrived at the first appointment, Gabby at the front desk was calming and welcoming. When we were taken back by Heather, she was so kind and supportive that I genuinely cried tears of relief. Dr. Rittenberg is so knowledgeable and thorough. She is straightforward yet compassionate. After our first appt, she gently let me know that it would be ideal for Saki to be hospitalized for fluids. Since then, we have come in for weekly appointments, and everyone has been fantastic. Dr. Rittenberg even gave me diaper rash cream that she had in her purse (apparently she has a toddler) because Saki had been experiencing incontinence and had urine burn! They even made
