Veterinarian Overview
Sandra Mitchell, DVM, DABVP (Feline Specialty and Exotic Companion Mammal Specialty) is the owner of Animal Medical Associates. She is also the only board certified feline specialist and exotic companion mammal specialist in either Maine or New Hampshire. Additionally, she is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in the State of Maine and routinely treats wildlife from the towns of Saco, Scarborough, Biddeford, Old Orchard Beach, and Ocean Park. She loves caring for our companion animals, particularly dealing with geriatric patients as well as animals with difficult to diagnose or treat conditions. If it fits through the door, she will see your pet as there are no medical challenges she is unwilling to tackle. She is "owned" by their own personal tribe which includes cats, a dog, ferrets, chinchillas, bearded dragons, and whatever wildlife have decided to take up temporary residence. In her spare time, she writes for veterinary journals, gives lectures to veterinarians, veterinary staff, and owners, writes exam questions for a variety of veterinary qualification exams, and authors for animal oriented magazines and websites. In her real time off, she loves to canoe - especially whitewater. In 2011, she completed a 1,000 mile canoe race in the Yukon, finishing in only 7 days, 10 hours, and 46 minutes!
