What's New

Portland Veterinary Specialists in two facilities as of October 25, 2012


Portland Veterinary Specialists has continued to grow and expand our specialties to better serve your pets.  Over the past year alone we’ve added board certified veterinary oncologist (cancer care) Dr. Jeffrey Philibert and board certified veterinary ophthalmologist (eye care) Dr. Rachel Mathes to our staff.  The addition of these new specialties has increased the necessity to expand our space. 

So we are excited to announce that as of October 25, 2012, Portland Veterinary Specialists will be working out of two facilities.  This additional space will allow us to continue to offer new specialties, services and equipment, and the most advanced and comprehensive veterinary medicine in the state of Maine. 

The second facility we are moving into may be familiar to you already; it is the Animal Emergency Clinic located on Warren Avenue in Portland.  This is a large, beautiful facility that offers 24 hour a day, 7 day a week emergency care.  We will share their space, offering specialty medicine as we always have during the day.  Our patients will have an additional team of trained emergency technicians and doctors to help take care of them overnight, not to mention 24 hour a day, 7 day a week accessibility.

PVS will maintain our current facility on Congress Street in Portland, with the specialties of ophthalmology, dermatology and radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroid cats.  The Warren Avenue campus will host internal medicine, oncology, surgery, cardiology and acupuncture/ integrative medicine.  You can expect the same great service from our dedicated, experienced staff at both locations. 



Ophthalmology Available at Portland Veterinary Specialists


PVS welcomes Dr. Rachel Mathes, Maine's first full-time board certified veterinary ophthalmologist.  Dr. Mathes will be available for ophthalmology appointments starting in September of 2012.


Dr. Mathes graduated from Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2005.  She received her MS in Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences from the University of Georgia in 2009 and went on to complete her residency in ophthalmology at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine.  


A sampling of some of the services that Dr. Mathes will perform are ophthalmic evaluation for all companion animals (including birds and other exotics), cataract surgery, glaucoma treatment and surgery, laser retinal surgery, all forms of corneal reconstruction, eyelid correction and ophthalmic disease management.
