Randy Thompson, DVM
Dr. Thompson grew up on a farm near Franklin, Indiana and his fondest childhood memories involve sick animals that required a visit from Dr. Morris, the local veterinarian. A few occasions stand out in his memory and caused him to regard that vet as a hero, deeply influencing his choice to become a veterinarian.
After high school, he enrolled in Purdue University.At the end of the first year, he was accepted into pharmacy school at Purdue. It was in pharmacy school that Dr. Thompson met Gina, his future wife. They were lab partners in Nuclear Pharmacy class.
After graduation, Dr. Thompson moved to Sullivan, IL, working on Amish farms, treating draft horses and dairy cows. A few years later a job opened up here at Northside and, as they say, the rest is history.
Dr. Thompson and his wife, Gina, were married in 1984 and together they have 2 children: Emily and Dan. The Thompsons also count as a son Romaric, who lived with them as a foreign exchange student during the 1993-94 school year. Their daughter, Emily, is an optometrist and lives in Oklahoma City with her husband Jason. Sadly, their son Dan passed away in 2014 and is greatly missed.
Dr. Thompson's personal hobbies center around cars. He grew up near Indianapolis and the Indy 500 was THE sporting event. In fact, he's been to nearly 500 races. He always wanted to drive a race car. Today, Dr. Thompson participates in non-competitive high speed road course events with his own track car.
Dr. Thompson expects to continue practicing veterinary medicine at Northside Veterinary Clinic for many more years.
