At Crestline Pet Care, we know and love pets — and their people. We’ll be here for your pet’s entire life journey, and we offer full-service veterinary care with a personal touch.
With our wide range of medical and surgical services, we help you protect and enhance your pet’s health and happiness.
In addition, Crestline Pet Care now provides urgent-care services after hours at our Crestline Village office to make life easier for pet owners. Dr. Scott Upton, a recent addition to our staff, offers urgent-care and emergency services until 10 p.m. Monday through Friday.
“We felt there was a need in our community,” Dr. Craig Martin says. “Many times our clients come home from work and find that their pet is sick or has a medical need,” Dr. Martin says.
Crestline Pet Care can cover most of those needs by extending its hours to 10 p.m., Dr. Martin says. “We may extend into the weekend at a later time should there be a demand,” he says.
Crestline Pet Care also hopes to provide urgent-care services “faster and at a slightly lower cost” than other emergency veterinary clinics in Birmingham, Dr. Martin says.
Dr. Upton has great experience in providing veterinary urgent care. A Birmingham native and Auburn University graduate, Dr. Upton earned his degree in veterinary medicine at Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee in 2022. He then worked in urgent care for almost three years in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“I worked urgent-care hours, including overnight emergency and surgery, at a high-volume practice,” he says. “When I moved back home in 2025, I saw the need for a veterinarian in the evening hours when most people return home from work.”
Dr. Martin believes the clients at Crestline Pet Care will have greater peace of mind knowing they can bring their pets for treatment after hours. “I think our clients will appreciate our doctors being available for them,” he says.
And as always, Crestline Pet Care offers a wide range of regular services, such as wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite prevention, microchipping and grooming.
We offer surgery, spay/neuter services and cutting-edge technologies — therapeutic laser, Platelet Rich Plasma treatments. In-house digital radiology and ultrasonography.
Dr. Martin expresses a great affection for Mountain Brook. “We love what we do, and we love the people in our community and their pets,” Dr. Martin says. “After practicing for 35 years, I’ve befriended so many people. I’m blessed to have developed those relationships and helped them with their vet needs.”
