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!
