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.

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 lot. Her staff is always kind and so sweet and understanding as well. We absolutely love SSCAC and would recommend to anyone looking for a new veterinarian.

Dr. Stark is the absolute best veterinarian around. The employees there treat the animals like their own. Best place to get the care your pet needs.

I can confidently say that this is the worst experience we’ve ever had with a vet. It was clear to me that Dr. Stark and staff do not use any techniques to calm a stressed animal, and they only escalated my dog’s anxiety during his exam. I’ve never had any issue with my dog having anxiety during a vet exam, but forcing an 85 pound dog up onto the exam table when he’s clearly extremely uncomfortable is unacceptable. If a vet cannot bend down to the floor to meet the need of her clients then maybe it is time to retire. Nothing was clearly explained to us, I felt unheard during my pet’s visit, and I can confidently say we will never be back. I had to ask Dr. Stark several times to end the exam so that we could leave. I easily applied my dog’s ear ointment at home with zero issues after she could not do so in the office. I was actually shocked to have a negative experience after reading so many positive reviews. Everyone has bad days, but the fact that my dog was so nervous in their care told me everything I needed to know about this place.

I found South Shades Animal Clinic on a Google search one day when I had to take our dog to a vet last minute. We have been here 3 times now, and every time has been a 5-star visit! They have fit us into their schedule the same day I called to make the appointment all 3 times, and all of their staff is so sweet and helpful every time.

The staff at South Shades Crest are fantastic. They took my dog in quickly for an appointment when my vet had nothing and would not try to squeeze him in. The receptionist, tech and Dr. Stark were great. They were welcoming and helped to calm my nerves. They answered my calls and questions when I had concerns after the appointment. They helped put my mind at ease. They have gained a new client. Thank you.
