Testimonials
I have been with this doctor for 20 years
He has supported and cared for all of my ‘kids’ as well as the ones I happened on. In my experiences, having lived in Geneva and London with my four-legged children, I have had to work with many vets and many animal experts, I can say, without hesitation that Dr. Staris is who I would choose to go to. As my mom says, he gives people a good name! He is the first to go above and beyond for the safest, healthiest and most successful option for his patients.
He attends international seminars annually in order to be exposed to new ideas, better techniques, the best instruments, touch base with experts in their fields and to do what he can to add ‘humane’ to his practice. I remember when he set up a laboratory to test animal results because sending them abroad took too long and this hindered his patients’ chances. I also know that when I took my twin Labrador boys for their operation, because of his progressive techniques, George and Homer were causing as much trouble by the evening as they did in the morning when I took them to the clinic.
I can write and write, but most importantly, Dr. Staris listens! I have a lot to say because I am my kids’ voice. I wouldn’t go to a health specialist that would not take my observations, concerns and questions as seriously as I do. BOTTOM LINE : He loves what he does and he takes pride in what he does

Meli feels secure at your clinic...
My dog was born with a defect of her right back leg (it is shorter that the rest). Always under the guidance of our doctor, we have taken care of her weight, diet and lifestyle in general in order to keep her safe and living the best she can. Meli is 8 years old today and the truth is she never had any problems even though her foot was always a bit atrophic.

My Meli's story
My dog was born with a defect of her right back leg (it is shorter that the rest). Always under the guidance of our doctor, we have taken care of her weight, diet and lifestyle in general in order to keep her safe and living the best she can. Meli is 8 years old today and the truth is she never had any problems even though her foot was always a bit atrophic.
In the middle of February, she jumped out of bed and lost her balance in her joy for a walk. She fell, cried and I immediately realized that he was seriously hurt. After the doctor’s examination we found that the cruciate ligament of her left foot (her strong’s leg ligament), was cut. This worried me very much at first, but the doctor -with his experience and knowledge and him always been calm- reassured me that she would be OK. He informed me of everything concerning surgery (he explained to me everything, as simple as possible) and I admit that I began to fill with optimism and strength. In one week we did the surgery. Everything went great! The team at the clinic offered us wholehearted love, care, information and support at all times and I am grateful to them.
The next few weeks weren't easy for sure, but every day she was getting better. Most unbelievable is that Meli stepped more and more on the atrophic right leg, as for a few weeks after surgery she couldn’t put any weight on the operated one -mostly out of fear.
Through a painstaking and very emotional adventure, she came out stronger. Her atrophic leg is much better now. Today we are better than ever!
Meli is happy to go to the clinic for the necessary check-ups and that is what makes me so happy. That she has felt all this love and knows that with these people she is always safe!
I will not forget when I went to see her after the surgery and while I was waiting to see something it would make me uncomfortable (seeing her sleepy and not able to move, even in pain??), on the contrary I found her calm, clean and a sweet music filling the room with peace.
We love you!! And we will never forget everything you did for us.
May God bless you all.

All my worries disappeared...
I still remember the day that my loving dog, Loulou, needed to be spayed. My feelings were mixed. On one hand the Doctor had explained to me the reasons why it was better for my animal to get spayed, as I didn’t want it to use for reproduction. On the other hand, I was really worried about my animal having an operation and I was emotionally distressed thinking that Loulou will not be able to experience motherhood.

When I decided to spay my Loulou
I still remember the day that my loving dog, Loulou, needed to be spayed. My feelings were mixed. On one hand the Doctor had explained to me the reasons why it was better for my animal to get spayed, as I didn’t want it to use for reproduction. On the other hand, I was really worried about my animal having an operation and I was emotionally distressed thinking that Loulou will not be able to experience motherhood.
My internal barriers were lifted after discussing with Dr. Staris, who addressed all my fears and anxieties. When the day of the operation was finally there, I was positively surprised by the immediate recovery of my dog. From the first moment I took her home, it was like never had an operation. It was like returning at home after her routine grooming at Staris Veterinary Clinic.
I am glad Dr. Staris and the rest of the clinic’s staff are there to cover all my pet’s needs as well as my worries and anxieties concerning my loving dog.

Care for both my dogs and cats!
Words can't express the gratitude that I have for the entire Staris Vet Clinic staff. They are extremely helpful, kind, sensitive and caring to all my animal friends’ needs at all times. They have always been very quick to attend to their health problems and have on several occasions fitted me into an appointment. They have often gone above and beyond the call of duty to inform me of their health status (when hospitalised treatment is required) or even to check up on their status upon their return back home. Being a particularly overprotective pet owner, they have my complete trust to do what is best for both my dogs and cats!

I would very much recommend this clinic...
My dog, my beloved Floyd, began to have severe pain and lameness in her left hind leg. Dr. Staris’ diagnosis was a patellar (knee cup) luxation and had to be operated on. At first I was worried as I did not know whether she be able to walk and run again normally.

Floyd's story
My dog, my beloved Floyd, began to have severe pain and lameness in her left hind leg. Dr. Staris' diagnosis was a patellar (knee cup) luxation and had to be operated on. At first I was worried as I did not know whether she be able to walk and run again normally. Fortunately she recovered in 8 weeks, exactly what the doctor at the beginning told me. Externally it does not seem to have undergone any surgery and Floyd is getting better every day.
* I had to have a stray kitten who was in a terrible condition when I went to the clinic. However, after hospitalization, surgery and required treatment, they are fine.
