Your Trusted Charleston Vets Since 2000

About Us

Since opening our doors in 2000, Crestline Veterinary Clinic has been dedicated to a simple but powerful mission: to combine modern veterinary medicine with the personalized, down-to-earth care of a true small-town practice. We are proud to be a trusted resource for the families of Charleston and the surrounding Central Illinois communities.

Our clinic was founded on the understanding that this area is home to a wide range of beloved animals. We are just as dedicated to the wagging tails and curious whiskers of your household pets as we are to the health and well-being of the vital farm animals and livestock that are the backbone of our rural community.

Meet Our Veterinarian

Dr. Christie Stone, DVM (Owner & Veterinarian)

Dr. Stone graduated from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1996 and has been serving the Charleston community for over two decades. Her expertise is matched only by her deep, personal connection to the area and its way of life. When she’s not at the clinic, she enjoys gardening, hiking, and spending time with her family, which includes her husband, who farms and raises cattle, and their own beloved pets: two dogs (Concha and Lacy) and four cats (Porky, Rocky, Olive, and Oliver).

Our Approach to Compassionate Care

To us, “small-town service” is more than just a phrase; it’s how we operate every single day. It means knowing our community and the furry, feathered, and hoofed friends that inhabit it. We build real, lasting relationships with our clients and patients, taking the time to listen to your concerns and provide clear, honest guidance. Our goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and low-stress atmosphere for every animal that comes through our door, because we believe compassionate care is the best care.

Rooted in Our Charleston Community

We believe that being a local veterinary clinic means being an active and supportive member of our community. We are proud to partner with and support local organizations and events that make our area a better place for people and animals alike.

  • We partner with other local businesses that care for animals, like All Paws Inn, supporting their mission to provide a safe and comfortable “home away from home” for pets while their owners are away.
  • We proudly co-sponsor fun, pet-friendly community events like the Mattoon Bagelfest “Bagel Bow Wow”
  • We show our commitment to the local environment and wildlife by participating in the Urban Butterfly Initiative, helping to rehabilitate and expand natural habitats.
