Dr. Robert Chappell D.V.M.
Dr. Chappell is a life long resident of South Carolina. For Dr. Chappell, animal welfare is a family business. As a child he could be found at his father’s elbow learning how to mend the wing of a bird or stitch up a neighbor’s injured dog. A 1988 graduate of Northwestern High School in Rock Hill, Dr. Robby went on to attend Winthrop College for 2 years before transferring to Clemson University. He was then accepted into the Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama where he excelled, graduating in 1995 to receive his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM).
Upon returning to Rock Hill Dr. Robby began practicing veterinary medicine with his uncle, John Henry Chappell III, DVM. In 1999, he decided to strike out on his own and opened his first practice, Carolina Place Animal Hospital on Carolina Place Dr. in Fort Mill, SC. In 2007, Dr. Robby opened his second branch office of CPAH on Hwy 9E in Richburg, SC. (just off I-77 at exit 65). After outgrowing the Carolina Place Drive facility in 2010, Dr. Robby relocated to his present location at 8177 Regent Parkway in Fort Mill.
When he’s not busy with his own full time practice Dr. Robby donates his time to the Humane Society of York County helping to spay, neuter, and provide medical care to hundreds of homeless animals. He reprises this role helping to care for homeless and unwanted animals serving as the Vice-President of PETS Inc. He is well-known for his excellent orthopedic surgeries in addition to his skill as a diagnostician. In each of these roles he brings his own gentle humor and provides attentive concern for every cherished companion under his care.
When not at work, Dr. Robby can usually be found taking care of his own menagerie of animals which includes cows, horses, donkeys, goats, pigs, cats, and dogs. He also enjoys hunting, camping, 4-wheelin', and just hanging out with family and friends.
Dr. Robby resides in Winnsboro, SC. He’s the proud father of 4 children: Peyton, Zachary, Jolie, and Addy.
