South Shades Crest Animal Clinic

Dr. Stark is compassionate, thoughtful, and exceptional with anxious dogs (and owners). She never recommends unnecessary tests, takes a whole-pet approach, and truly listens. When my senior dog lost significant weight with normal test results, Dr. Stark identified stress-related GI issues and helped her fully recover. Her surgical referral for a chest mass and follow-up guidance were excellent. Thanks to her care, my dog will be a happy 15-year-old soon. Highly recommend Dr. Stark and South Shades Crest Animal Clinic.

Best experience with a vet in Birmingham area ever. Dr. Stark and Julie were fantastic with my Lacy. Took time to look over all her previous records and came up with a game plan on how to handle her allergies. Very thankful I was referred here.

Myself and my husband have been using South Shades Crest ever since we got our Bear boy back in 2019, I took him here due to I had just gotten him and didn’t have a vet yet and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. 3 years later we now have Bear, Merle, Buster, and Ducky. Dr. Stark is not only professional she goes beyond and above for all of our fur babies. She’s always very thorough and can explain everything to us without us being confused. Not only is she great at her job, she actually has a heart and compassion for every animal she treats. From the time you walk in for your appointment til the time you leave or pick up your baby you can just feel the love and positivity from her and her staff. All of my dogs actually get excited even if they are sick when we pull up in the parking lo

Dr. Stark and her staff took care of my 2 kitties for 10 years, and I really can't say enough to how grateful I am to them. It's apparent through her actions and demeanor that Dr. Stark loves and cares for every animal that she treats on a personal level. Her empathy and compassion are unparalleled. The staff has always been kind, caring, and gentle. I am so grateful for everything they've done for me and my babies. You really can't find a better Doctor for your little furry loved ones.

Been trusting my babies to Dr Stark for over 26 years. She is knowledgeable, friendly, intelligent, and compassionate. When I get a new kitten they visit Dr Stark before they're allowed in the house.
