Dr. Rachel Myers was born and raised in Ventura, California. She attended the University of California, Santa Cruz and graduated in 2011 with a BA in Human Psychology. Knowing her true passion was to work with animals, she had the unique opportunity to move to Arkansas in 2011 to continue her education at the University of Arkansas, where she graduated in 2014 with a BS in Animal Sciences, and a focus in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. During her time in school, she gained valuable experience working at this very clinic! She was accepted in 2015 to Mississippi State University, College of Veterinary Medicine. Soon after graduating in 2019, she and her husband (whom she met while working at St. Francis), along with their 3 dogs and 2 cats, moved back to NWA.

Dr. Myers is so thrilled to come back to the clinic that shaped and inspired her journey into veterinary medicine. She enjoys soft tissue surgery, canine and feline behavior, dermatology, and orthopedic medicine. In her spare time, she loves spending time with her family, working out and being active, and volunteering her time with animal rehabilitation. She LOVES pitbulls and bully breeds as they hold a very special place in her heart!

My name is Angelique Thompson and I am the Practice Manager at St. Francis Animal Hospital. I enjoy meeting, chatting with, laughing, sometimes comforting and getting to know pets and their owners on a closer level. My goal as Practice Manager is to continue to grow with the clinic and clients. Our clients pets and their well-being are most important to me.

I grew up in St Louis, moved to Arkansas 16 years ago and worked for another clinic as an practice manager for a few years. I now live in Prairie Grove and love living in the country. I am a mother of 5, so I understand multi-tasking and organized chaos. When it comes to pets, I have 3 dogs and 6 cats ranging from under one year to 20 years old. I love spending time with family and floating on the river in the summer. I hope to continue to grow and form long lasting relationships with our amazing clients and their pets.
