Dr Moore and Reggie.
Shannon Moore, DVM
Dr. Moore has been practicing veterinary medicine for 29 years and serving the Southeastern Ohio community since the year 2000. Having previously practiced in Xenia and Lancaster, Dr. Moore has been the proud owner and Medical Director of Hocking Hills Animal Clinic since 2016.
When she isn't in the office, you can find Dr. Moore hiking the trails of the beautiful Hocking Hills with her best friend - a big, red, Siberian Husky!
After a hard day on the trails, the hikers return home to snuggle with a couple of cats :)
Her other interests include astronomy, geology, martial arts, backpacking, trying to understand quantum mechanics, and science fiction.
Jake Eier, DVM
The term "GOAT" describes Dr Eier in a couple of ways. First, he has a passion for caprine medicine and owns a Show-Goat business. Second, he may be the 'Greatest Of All Time' when it comes to associate veterinarians!
Calm, compassionate and knowledgeable, his skills don't end with caprines. Dr. Eier excels at companion-animal medicine and is beloved by our staff, clients, and patients.
An indispensable member of our team, we are lucky have Dr. Eier at Hocking Hills Animal Clinic.
There are many of us here to help you and your pets.
The doctors can't do it alone! We have additional friendly and compassionate part-time doctors as well as an outstanding support staff:
Rebecca is the cheery voice you hear on the other end of the phone line. She is our Client Service Manager. With experience as a nationally-registered pharmacy technician as well as a dental assistant, Rebecca knows her way around a medical office. When she's not answering calls, scheduling appointments, filing, or performing the myriad of tasks that being a receptionist at a busy clinic demands, you can find her at car events in her exhaust-enhanced, JDM Acura.
Cristi is a 2014 Honors Graduate of Bradford School of Veterinary Technology and is a Licensed Veterinary Nurse (Registered Veterinary Technician). She is extraordinarily passionate about veterinary medicine and finds it to be a rewarding career. Cristi's superpowers include mega-multi-tasking, perpetual patience, and ultra-organizing. On the weekends, she enjoys working on the farm with her family in the company of many animals - especially her beloved, pampered chickens.
Cristi has rescued many wayward animals, but the most outstanding is a rotten beagle who knows how to 'keep things interesting!”
During the 2020 pandemic, Dr. Moore went in search of the perfect addition to a busy and growing team. She wanted someone who was patient and compassionate with animals, had great clinical skills, and would appreciate her endless sci-fi references. Fortunately, her search yielded a skilled, experienced RVT, who - most importantly - get's her geeky jokes. And, thus, Jesse, joined the team. An English Major and 2012 graduate of Columbus State Community College Veterinary Technology program, Jesse has been honing his skills in medicine for years. He is also the companion of a happy boxer named, Goose.
That flash you see is Dixie! With experience in emergency medicine, Dixie is quick to care for our patients. She has been with Hocking Hills Animal Clinic since 2015 after moving to Ohio from Arizona. A graduate of Mesa Community College, Dixie has been working as a veterinary technician since 2006. She’s honed her skills in emergency medicine, specialty practice, and general medicine.
When not at the clinic, a Chihuahua named Tug (a.k.a. The Dog Father), is her boss. When Tug gives her some time off, she enjoys country-western dancing with her husband, raising her family, and playing with her German Shepherd, Alma.
A passion for working with animals drove Mariah to pursue a career as a veterinary tech, and her intelligence and compassion allow her to be excellent at it! Mariah is currently completing coursework for her Registered Veterinary Technician (Veterinary Nurse) license. She still finds time to go camping and hiking with her husband and two dogs. There may be someone even more thankful for Mariah than we are - Stewy, a rabbit she rescued that was destined to be rabbit stew!
Charle starts her day with coffee! She needs that kickstart to complete the myriad of tasks on her plate at the clinic. Somehow, she does so with compassion and skill. In addition to taking care of patients and assisting doctors, Charle is working to complete her degree to become a licensed Registered Veterinary Technician (i.e. Veterinary Nurse).
With over a decade of experience of management in the veterinary field, Susan keeps the office organized! A crucial asset to our team, Susan is in charge of many of the behind-the-scenes tasks vital to the smooth operation of a hospital. In addition to inventory control, invoice management, client outreach, and a multitude of other jobs, Susan assists at front-desk reception. As dedicated as she is to her career, she's even more dedicated to her family. When she's not at the clinic, Susan is attending her daughter's softball games, playing with her pitt-bull, and fishing and hiking with her husband.
