Dr. Shields has been my vet for over seven years. He's knowledgeable about animal medicine (even for small animals) and very gentle and kind to the pets he sees. I keep pet rats, and he is always just as concerned for their welfare as he would be for a cat or dog. In my experience, Dr. Shields always shares full information about your pet's health situation with you, does not condescend (or mince words!), and truly does what's best for the pet--no over- or under-treating. The new hospital at Crosscreeks is clean and well-appointed. The staff is also knowledgeable and very hands-on with the pets, and exhibited courtesy and enthusiasm for their work.

I've been going to Cross Creeks for over 12 years, and Dr. Shields is EXCELLENT. He made our experience putting our sweet dog down bearable and treated her with the utmost respect. His advice was always in the best interest of our dog, not his pocketbook and for that I forever thank him.
