Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Porell joined our team in 2006. She earned her Bachelor of Science from Binghamton University and her DVM from Ross University in St. Kitts, West Indies. It sounds like the kind of place you go to work on your tan, but don't let that fool you. Dr. Porell is a top notch primary care physician. She interned at Manhattan Vet Group and practiced in New York City for three years before moving to Maine. Like Dr. Shively and Dr. O, Dr. Porell is a general practitioner who covers all aspects of small animal medicine. Her rigorous training and gift for attention to detail make her the most thorough provider you'll find. A strong believer in Evidence Based Medicine, you will often find her digging into journals and researching the latest updates in veterinary practice globally. Her special interests include Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine and Ophthalmology. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and regularly takes opportunities to expand her training and expertise. She still misses NYC, and the sunny winters of St. Kitts. Who wouldn't. But she now loves living in Kennebunk with her husband and their two children. They have two King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, Oscar and Prada.
