Dr. Julie Adams

Dr Julie Adams just recently moved here from Pennsylvania after working 18 years in a small animal private practice. She received her doctorate in veterinary medicine from The Ohio State University in 2001 after completing a BS in biology with a minor in biochemistry. Although not all of her pets have made the move to New Hampshire yet, the “family” currently consists of 2 American Foxhounds, a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, 2 donkeys, a miniature horse, and a Quarterhorse. Hobbies include trail running, tennis, hiking, and traveling.

Having many doctors on staff allows for collaboration on challenging cases. A second or third opinion, in house, is routine. All three doctors attend continuing education conferences on a regular basis and stay current in veterinary medicine and surgery. We also subscribe to the Veterinary Information Network, a web based source of current information.
