Advanced care for what matters most – helping your pet live a longer and better life.
We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our veterinary neurology team is made up of experts in diagnosing and treating diseases of the nervous system, and we’re here to help.
Our commitment is not just to treat illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
If your pet has a neurological condition, you’ll have an entire neurology team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our neurology team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our neurology team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
As an experienced veterinary neurologist, Dr. Kara Knight has trained many interns and residents. Her special interests in neurology are meningitis, encephalitis and seizures. She also enjoys neurosurgery cases that involve IVDD, fractures and luxations. A fun fact about Dr. Knight? She’s performed spinal surgery on several otters.
In her spare time, Dr. Knight enjoys outdoor activities and spending time with her Australian shepherd, Cutter, and cat, Hondo.
Dr. Amy Stark is dedicated to helping clients understand the medical and surgical interventions available for their pets’ specific conditions, so they can make informed decisions.
As a clinician in the neurology department, Dr. Stark is particularly interested in the role of physical therapy in maximizing postoperative recovery for patients with spinal cord injuries. She also enjoys cases involving the management of seizures or inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) disease.
Outside of work, Dr. Stark and her wife enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking. They have a corgi, Harrison, and a domestic longhaired cat, Madison.
