Dr. Simonson attended Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, where she majored in Biology. She then earned her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating, she began practicing small animal general medicine and urgent care in Boston.
Having fallen in love with Maine during college, Dr. Simonson was excited to return to the state with her partner and their newly adopted rescue dog. She looks forward to spending more time outdoors and being part of a smaller community.
Dr. Simonson grew up surrounded by small animals, including several family dogs, many fosters, and a particularly sassy French cat.
Her professional interests include preventive medicine and client education. She enjoys building relationships with pet owners and helping them feel informed and confident in caring for their animals.
