REQUEST - Disciplinary Action Information

FEE: No Charge

Some state agency web sites provide a listing of licensees or registrants who have disciplinary actions. The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board realizes that listings of this nature do not give a full understanding of the situation that caused the disciplinary action. Therefore, the NC Board chooses not to provide such information on this web site.

The Board will provide disciplinary information on any licensee or registrant upon written request. The request must be made in writing and mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to the Board office. The Board's response will most likely be by return mail and contain the letter of dismissal or final disciplinary action. This is provided so that the consumer can make an informed decision regarding their choice of veterinary care. Please provide your name, mailing address, telephone number and whom you are requesting information on.

When requesting disciplinary information, the request must pertain to an individual and not a veterinary practice facility. The Board does not take complaints against veterinary practice facilities, complaints are against individuals. This assures that an individual cannot clear their record by moving to another veterinary practice.

REQUEST - Practice Facility Inspection Reports

FEE: No Charge

The Board will provide inspection information on any facility upon written request. The request must be made in writing and mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to the Board office. The Board's response will most likely be by return mail and contain information on the most current inspection. This is provided so that the consumer can make an informed decision regarding their choice of a veterinary professional.

Inspections occur every two (2) years. A new practice is inspected prior to opening and again the following year, then every two (2) years thereafter.

Please provide your name, mailing address, telephone number and the facility you are requesting information on.
