Welcome to Willard Veterinary Clinic

Dear Loyal Clients,

I would like to thank my many wonderful colleagues, staff members, clients, neighbors, friends and patrons, for making my career so rewarding. I have never stopped loving the practice of veterinary medicine but it is time for me to step aside and let the next generation of practitioners make their mark on the world. I have carefully selected a team of veterinarians, technicians and receptionists to carry on the Willard Veterinary tradition of the highest quality care.  Having done this, I know that I am leaving all of our clients and especially your beloved pets in exceptionally capable hands.  The team is led by 16-year associate, Dr. Jamie McVicker, who is Chief of Staff. She enjoys dermatology and solving the puzzles of internal medicine. Montreal born; Dr. Martine Gravelle has worked tirelessly for the past 6 years while raising a family in Milton.  She is a cat whisperer, often speaking to them in French. Dr. Emily Peterson grew up in Andover and raises and trains service dogs. She has a special interest in animal behavior and has been especially helpful during Covid. Dr. Clare Flanagan is a first-rate practitioner and talented surgeon who grew up in Holbrook.  Last but not least, we have just hired Dr. Sage Smith from Colorado who will bring her special interest in cardiology to the table.  I have been so fortunate to have met so many wonderful pets and owners along the way. Thank you all for the past 37 years, I couldn’t have done it without lots of help from a great team of people at the Willard Veterinary Clinic. It has been a privilege and honor to serve the south shore community and to have carried on the tradition of high-quality pet care at Willard Veterinary Clinic that was established by Dr, Jack Blake so many years ago. We strive to be the Cheers of veterinary medicine, “Where everyone knows your name”

Gratefully yours,

Dr. Meg Connelly
