Amy Ruksznis, DVM:
Dr. Ruksznis (pronounced "Ruck-shin-knees") grew up in Kittery, ME knowing from a young age that some day she'd be a veterinarian. She attended the University of Maine - Orono for a degree in Animal and Veterinary Sciences and minored in Equine Studies. She worked as a veterinary assistant for one year before being accepted to the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada. It was there that she was able to fulfill her childhood dream. She worked for 6 years in Portland, ME at North Deering Veterinary Hospital. There she was responsible for the majority of the surgery and dental procedures, and also enjoyed creating lasting relationships with clients and their pets that were seen for both wellness and sick visits.
It has always been important to Dr. Ruksznis to teach pet owners what it takes to keep their pets healthy when possible. In the event that the pet is on the other side of things, and comes to see her when they are sick, she does everything she can to solve the problem and provide comfort to both the pet and the owner.
When not practicing medicine, Dr. Ruksznis enjoys the outdoors as much as possible. She shares her home in Bowdoinham with her wife Denise, her trusty dogs Olive and Bernie, a wildman Maine Coon named Charlie, a 27 year old bird name Buddy, a hand-me-down turtle named Tim, and some lovely chickens.

Drew Cadwell, DVM
Dr. Drew grew up all over, spending a few of his childhood years in South America and the Caribbean. He always loved animals but fell in love with veterinary medicine during high school through his family’s adoption of a cat. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in biology and worked as a veterinary assistant for a year before heading to the University of Illinois for veterinary school. There, Dr. Drew met his black cat Sabrina, wife Mallory (and her two tabby cats Cora and Della), and adopted a basset hound mix. Dr. Drew has worked in Maine as a small animal and exotic mammal veterinarian since graduating from vet school.
Dr. Drew’s main veterinary interests are preventative care, dermatology, and nutrition. Dr. Drew enjoys getting to know people and their pets to provide personalized advice for keeping them healthy or getting them feeling better. When not practicing medicine, Dr. Drew enjoys getting outside, listening to and playing music, and keeping up with sports.

Jan Oliver, DVM
Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Dr. Oliver graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in 2008. She spent two years working in Ottawa, Canada before meeting her husband and moving to New Jersey. In 2019, her love of the snow called her back northward and brought her to the lovely State of Maine.
Though Dr. Oliver has worked with a wide variety of pets from hamsters to hedgehogs, she now focuses mainly on treating dogs and cats. She has been nicknamed the "cat whisperer" which is likely why she currently has 4 cats of her own! She enjoys teaching people how to care for their furry family members, and believes in the importance of a friendly and trustworthy veterinary team to help pets and their owners when they need it.
Dr. Oliver lives on her budding homestead with her husband and young son. When she isn't tending to her pets, garden, goats or chickens, she likes to plan fundraisers in her community, help with renovation projects in her home, bake, ski, bike, kayak, hike...basically, she rarely sits still!
