We are pleased to announce that VMSG Internal Medicine
specialist Dr. Melanie Thompson, DVM will begin seeing
patients at our facility on May 4th, 2009. Dr.
Thompson will be at CCPEC every other Monday beginning
4/4/09 for your referrals. Appointments are arranged by
your regular veterinarian. If you would like to have
your pet seen by Dr. Thompson, please contact your
primary veterinarian to make arrangements.
Dr.
Melanie Thompson, DVM, DACVIM:
Dr. Melanie Thompson was born in Houston, Texas but was
raised in Arizona until she graduated from High School.
After a short two years in Georgia, Dr. Thompson headed
to Cal State Poly, Pomona to earn her Bachelors of
Science degree in Animal Science. From there, she
attended UC Davis and graduated in 1998 from the School
of Veterinary Medicine.
Dr. Thompson made quite an impression at Veterinary
Medical and Surgical Group (VMSG) during her 1998-1999
internship. It was a busy year, working with VMSG
surgeons and internal medicine specialists along with
special trips to visit her favorite mouse, Mickey, in
Anaheim. Sadly, VMSG had to bid Dr. Thompson adieu as
she headed all the way north to the Western College of
Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
for a three-year residency in Internal Medicine. Upon
the completion of her residency in the summer of 2002,
she passed the ACVIM certification board examination.
VMSG enticed her back as a board certified staff
internist. She is interested in all aspects of general
internal medicine.
Dr. Thompson now lives in Ventura along with several,
special significant others: her greyhound, "Rosy," and
her two cats, "Meeko" and "Whiskey." She enjoys a daily
walk on the beach and watching movies. Now that she has
completed all of her formal training, Melanie is looking
forward to more trips to Disneyland, hiking (preferably
without breaking any bones), traveling (especially to
the wine country), surfing, and perhaps learning to be a
gourmet chef!
CCPEC is so pleased to have Dr. Thompson with us! Her
varied knowledge, expertise, and sense of humor is
greatly appreciated. Her service to the Central Coast
greatly needed. Won’t you please join us in welcoming
Dr. Thompson to the area. |
