Meet Our Staff
Dr. Holly Noble
Owner and Veterinarian
Dr. Noble was raised in Connecticut but fell in love with Midcoast Maine while earning her B.A. in Biology from Bowdoin College and competing on the Bowdoin Sailing Team on Quahog Bay. After Bowdoin Dr. Noble went on to receive an M.A. in Science Education from St. Joseph College in Connecticut and then her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts.
Dr. Noble became a commissioned officer in the Army in 2014 and has served on Active Duty as an Army Veterinarian as a Captain in the Army Veterinary Corps for the past several years. Most recently Dr. Noble was the Officer in Charge of veterinary care at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in North Carolina. She provided round the clock care to all of the Air Station’s Military Working Dogs, and served as veterinarian to the family pets of the Air Station community. Dr. Noble is proud to have served our country and is now thrilled to return to Midcoast Maine to start her own practice in Wiscasset.
While she enjoys all areas of general practice, her professional interests include internal medicine, soft-tissue surgery, and dentistry, and she is a member of MVMA, AVMA, and AAHA. Dr. Noble resides in Wiscasset and when not at work she can most likely be found aboard her kayak in the Maine waters, hiking in the mountains with her dog Mae, out in her garden, or reading a good book with a steaming cup of tea and her cat Petey by her side.
