McMichael Thomas DVM

My experience with this veterinarian was, sadly, not good. He owns the practice, and I was the client with my own pets being patients and I was also a volunteer for a rescue group using this clinic almost exclusively. In 2008 one of the younger vets at the practice failed to identify a cardiac condition in my elderly cat, Smokey. As a result, Smokey went without treatment and suffered. It is not unlikely that his death was hastened by this failure. When I wanted an explanation for this failure, in my opinion McMichael’s reaction was evasive, untruthful, and hostile. I had trouble obtaining the records I needed to file a complaint with the state Board, and I was ordered to stop volunteering with the rescue dogs boarded at the hospital. The vet Board issued a letter of censure to the vet, who failed to identify Smokey’s condition, and this vet took continuing education courses in interpreting X-​rays and ultrasounds, hopefully making him a safer vet than he was for my pet. This was all very sad because an honest handling of this affair could have gone a long way in resolving the issues.
