Dr. "Clair" Thompson

Dr. Clair Thompson's love for veterinary medicine started out when he was working at a reptile zoo. He gave lectures and shows with alligators and snakes. He attended college at Delaware Valley and during his third year he received early acceptance to the University of Penn Veterinary School. He graduated in 1991 (not before meeting his wife and co-owner of the hospital, Dr. Sammie Thompson). Once graduating veterinary school, Dr. Clair wanted to work with exotic animals. His desire to pursue that career ended quickly when he developed an allergy to bird dander. Dr. Clair worked locally for 3 years before he started his veterinary housecall service in 1996. Dr. Clair did annual wellness examinations as housecalls and would use this hospital for surgeries when Dr. Tartaglione was closed. In July of 2000, Dr. Clair bought this practice from Dr. Tartaglione and began working here full time. Clients love Dr. Clair for the personal relationship that he has with them, their families, and their pets.
