Dr. Rachel Chall diagnosed our six month old puppy with elbow dysplasia and HOD. Although that wasn't the diagnosis we wanted to hear Dr. Chall was very knowledgeable, easy to understand and VERY patient with all of our questions. She even called us back on a Saturday to answer more questions. She didn't rush us and had very well thought out answers and solutions. Thank you Dr. Chall! You made a tough situation easier to manage. Hillcrest Animal Hospital and the Poplar Bluff area are lucky to have such a great Vetinarian.
