New location of Dr. Starke (vet)

Last year we used a veterinary clinic called Dr. Starke in San Pedro (I think the current vet is actually Dr. Humberto Mora) and they were very helpful in obtaining the certificate of exportation needed for our dog to return to the USA. We want to use the same vet this year but Dr. Starke has moved to a new location. There is a sign on the old location and it says that the new office is "100 mts east and 100 mts north of the NE corner of Escuela Roosevelt", so about a block north and a block east of the NE corner. I have a poor sense of the cardinal direction in central San Jose, so we just tried every possible 1 block radius of the school multiple times but to no avail, we could not locate it. Two phone calls to the office (2524-2981) were not helpful, they just repeated the above directions. HAS ANYONE FOUND THE NEW OFFICE LOCATION OF DR. STARKE and can explain how to find it? Does it have a sign outside, etc? Alternatively, does anyone know of another vet we can take our dog to for the export certificate? We need to do this in the coming week (week of July 6). Thanks!
