Mr. Ron Allen - Executive Director

Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners
333 Guadalupe, Ste. 3-810

Austin, Texas 78701-3942

Mr. Allen,

  We are formally requesting to appeal the decision of the TSBVME in regards to the dismissal of Complaint # 06-111 – Ann K. Thomas, DVM. According to Board Rule 575.27(c)(7), the investigator shall interview the complainant. According to Board Rule 801.205(4), the Board must ensure that the person who filed the complaint has the opportunity to explain the allegations made in the complaint. We have yet to be interviewed. We have yet to be given the opportunity to explain the allegations made in the complaint. This complaint is FAR from groundless. In fact, the violations of both the Practice Act and Rules of Professional Conduct are so numerous, to just dismiss this complaint suggests one, or a combination, of the following: 

Relevant material submitted with our complaint was withheld, or not provided, to the reviewing board members.

  ~ and / or ~ 
 
Dr. Thomas’ response to the complaint was a despicably fictional account of events designed to cover up her absolute negligence and total guilt. Dr. Thomas has already proven that she is untrustworthy and extremely unethical. Proof positive of this is on page 1 of the medical records we submitted. She has altered the records and that is an indisputable fact. Can’t see it? LET US HELP YOU. See attached. INDISPUTABLE FACT. No ifs, ands, or buts. FACT. Period.  We also request to see the ORIGINAL records to determine if there have been other alterations to the records not evident  in our faxed copy.  We have demanded ALL of Stempy’s records from Dr. Thomas, INCLUDING all radiograghs. We have NEVER received, nor have we seen, any radiographs ever taken by Dr. Thomas. Now, we demand that the board compel Dr. Thomas to immediately provide us copies of ALL radiographs in Stempy’s records, plus other relevant records that Dr. Thomas is withholding. By not providing us the radiographs, Dr. Thomas is in DIRECT VIOLATION of board rule 573.52(c). How can this just be ignored? Must we file a complaint for EVERY violation?!?

  

  ~ and / or ~


gross dereliction of duty on the part of the reviewing
board members, constituting a conspiracy designed to cover up for, and protect, a GUILTY veterinarian.
 
Let us remind the board that in your “Compact with Texas” posted on the TSBVME website, it states, “The Board's first priority is to protect the public.” It is NOT to protect a GUILTY veterinarian. A guilty vet, who then lies to cover up her negligence, poses a GRAVE and IMMINENT danger to the public the board is charged with protecting.


We strongly feel this complaint MUST  be heard in person in informal proceedings and we demand to be heard and allowed to rebut any falsehoods offered as fact by Dr. Thomas. The public’s safety could very well hang in the balance. The same public the board is charged with protecting. Please visit Stempy’s website at www.stempy.bravehost.com .  We look forward to your immediate response.

Sincerely,

 

 

Greg and Cindy Munson.

For Stempy.

Stempy was an AKC champion-sired male Shih Tzu. He was only 8 years old. He was truly a once in a lifetime dog. In our opinion, he had about half of his life taken away from him due to the negligent and substandard care he received at the hands of his vet. Unfortunately, Stempy's veterinarian was:

ANN K. THOMAS, DVM
Rodeo Dr. Veterinary Hospital
Rodeo Dr. Veterinary Hospital
Mesquite, Texas

In our opinion,
we think the DVM means:


(D)oesn't know
(V)eterinary
(M)edicine

Be sure to click the page links at the top of the page to learn all about the alleged substandard & negligent care that Stempy endured for 2 years because we were all-trusting of this vet. If only we had researched two years prior.....

You MUST do your research NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

No matter how great you "think" your vet may be, do not leave it to chance!

There is no 2nd chance for Stempy!

We miss you, little boy!
We will NOT let you die in vain!

NEVER BLINDLY
TRUST YOUR VET!


Let us repeat that....


NEVER BLINDLY
TRUST YOUR VET!

In our opinion, ANN K. THOMAS, DVM is an incompetent vet based on our experience with her and we would NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, recommend her to anybody with a pet!
In our opinion, Stempy is also a victim of the TEXAS STATE BOARD OF VETERINARY MEDICAL EXAMINERS' complaint system that is supposed to PROTECT OUR PETS, but, instead,
may very well be protecting GUILTY VETS!  Approximately 85% to 90% of ALL consumer complaints filed in Texas against veterinarians are DISMISSED as no violation found!
