Dr. Desiree Thomas has high ideals and a vision for what exceptional veterinary care should look like, and Waterfront Animal Hospital was founded on those dreams. After working at another veterinary hospital after graduation and knowledge from being a technician during high school, she compiled all of the very best practices she has encountered in her plan for Waterfront Animal Hospital.
Waterfront Animal Hospital is a full-service clinic, able to provide care for sick pets as well as wellness and preventive care for pets at any stage of life. Our patients and clients are family and we are dedicated to providing them with the best care. As a small, privately owned practice, we make our pet care recommendations based on each pet’s needs and lifestyle.
Nestled in the Waterfront Market Place, our clinic is located off of Highway 22, on the Diversion Canal.

Our Hospital
The Story of Our Logo
Meet the inspirations behind our logo. The Doberman is modeled after Crash, Dr. Thomas’s loyal companion throughout her college years. Together, they navigated the challenges of veterinary school, forming a bond that represents resilience, dedication, and unwavering support.
The cat, Carol, came into Dr. Thomas’s life early in her veterinary career. Initially a fragile and ill kitten, Carol quickly made a remarkable recovery under Dr. Thomas’s care, growing into a vibrant and spirited cat who truly embodies the phrase “nine lives.”
When establishing Waterfront Animal Hospital, Dr. Thomas knew she wanted to honor the two pets who played such a meaningful role in her journey. Their stories are a reflection of the compassion, perseverance, and commitment to care that define our practice today.
