Dr. Hale saved our dogs life. He was so careful and even took her in on New Years Eve. She would have not survived without him. I can almost promise you if we took her anywhere else she would have not made it. I 1000% recommend. read more

Dr. Hale knows his animals and he cares about them. My pets have been going to him for a long time. He was very kind when we had to put one down. read more

Best vet in town. I've been going to him for years and years. His prices are very reasonable as well. Half of what you'd pay for the same services in a bigger city. I have owned 7 dogs and am a real dog lover so have experience with numerous vets over the years. Dr. Hale's done all kinds of serious surgeries on my pets in addition to routine care and it's all been the best. If there's something more major he will be honest about telling you if you need to go to Columbia for a surgery, but most things (including opening up my dog's stomach to remove an item she ate and stiching it back up he has done right in Washington.) He has a country accent and really does remind you of a vet from a small town in the 1950's in his demeanor and how much time he takes to make sure the problems are solved. Note: his office is very small and older, but don't let that fool you, he is knowledgable and professional and you won't regret picking him as your family vet.( And if you are from St. Louis, for the amount you'd save on your annual vet appointments by seeing Dr. Hale, it may be worth it for you to make the drive out to Washington, vs. pay too much for the same shots, etc. in St. Louis.) read more
