Animal Hospital

Dr. Thomas M. Niedermeyer, V.M.D. graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania in 1989.  He had previously completed a B.A. in Biochemistry with a minor in German, also at the University of Pennsylvania.  Prior to joining The Animal Hospital of South Gorham in fall of 2003, Dr. Niedermeyer managed and provided veterinary coverage for the Animal Emergency Clinic in Portland.  He enjoys the wide variety of patients seen at our clinic and our long term association with clients.  Fish medicine, chelonians, geese, sheep and goats are his particular interests.  Dr. Niedermeyer and his family recently started showing and breeding dairy goats; they enjoy the milk and cheese. He is an avid gardener when his daughters leave him a little peace and quiet.

We are very proud of our support staff.  They are committed to providing you and your pets with the best care possible.  Our staff consists of compassionate, sympathetic individuals who receive continued training in all aspects of small and exotic animal care.  Please feel free to discuss your concerns with them.  They can relay your questions to the veterinarians to facilitate more timely answers.

Emma joined us following a summer internship in 2002.  She is a licensed veterinary technician, having graduated from The University College of Bangor in 2005.  She is the quiet, compassionate presence in the examination room and an exceptionally skilled anesthesiologist.  Emma spends her free time exploring the great outdoor with her Chinook.

Lisa is the little canids’ superlative comforter.  She maintains order in our front office and hers is the voice most often addressing your non-veterinary concerns.  Lisa is devoted to her collection of little dogs, which is why our little dog patients take to her so readily.  Lisa has been with us since 2004.

Amanda obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Maine in Farmington in 2005.  She has been our veterinary technicians’ assistant since 2007.  Her special interests include the preservation of endangered species, the piping plover in particular.  Amanda is a self declared cat lover whose free time is taken up by her daughter, four cats, a yellow-sided conure (Wasabi) and senegal (Torti).

Tanya has been one of our receptionists since 2008.  She left us for some time as she was completing a degree in Radiographic Technology at Southern Maine Community College.  She is back with us now, full time, until her search for a radiologic technician position is complete. In her spare time she enjoys the comforts of home life, family and friends.

Cathie is the friendly face and voice you may now see and hear in our reception area. She became a part time receptionist after her grown children went off to college. She is a devoted mother, wife and soon to be grandmother.
