She attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia where she received her degree in veterinary medicine in 1990. She has practiced in Maryland (1990-2001) and Florida (2001 to present). Dr. Carol has always had an interest in behaviour and enjoys trying to make your animal feel at home in our facility.

Professionally, Dr. Thompson has an interest in behaviour medicine, fitness conditioning, as well as medicine and surgery.

Outside of work, Dr. Carol enjoys running and aerobics. She also is working on training her Border Collie, Nash, to do freestyle and tricks so they can go visit at senior homes. They hope to be able to do demos on a regular basis.

Senior Veterinary Technician

Corri has been working for Thompson’s Veterinary Center since June 2012. Dr. Carol and Brian met her when she was working as a server at a local restaurant. Her ability to get Dr. Carol’s special orders correct and her kind nature led the Thompson’s to ask her to join the team here at TVC. Corri has always loved animals and enjoys being able to help those fur babies who come through our doors. She has excelled at developing her Fear Free skills and is now using those to help not only with her technician duties, but also her manager duties. Corri is married to Matt and has 2 children. She enjoys visiting new places, spending time with her family relaxing and has developed a love for practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
