Ohio's Disciplined Vets, 2005
The following list of veterinarian's disciplined by the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board in the year 2005 was provided by the Board in response to a request from the Toonces Project.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a complete list of disciplined vets in Ohio. If your vet's name does not appear on this list, it does not mean that she or he does not have a disciplinary record with the state. To find out if your Ohio vet has a disciplinary record, you can either a) file a FOIA request with the Ohio Vet Board (www.ovmlb.ohio.gov); contact the Toonces Project at help@thetooncesproject.com to request assistance with filing said request.
Also, be aware that the absence of a record with the state is no guarantee of quality or competent care. Remember that the majority of complaints filed by pet owners are dismissed by Veterinary Boards. Our review of many dismissed complaints leads us to believe that in many cases, even complaints that are dismissed present information that would cause any conscientious pet owner to be concerned about the care provided by the vet. However, unfortunately, with the exception of a few states, complaints themselves are not available as public record.
Notes on Information provided to the Toonces Project by the State of Ohio: The Board has initially provided copies of Settlement Agreements only. These agreements do not contain any information about case details. Obtaining case details will require an additional request. We will make said request when time permits; we'd love some volunteer help with follow up! If you can help us, contact us at help@thetooncesproject.com
