• Tracey Fahey

  DVM

  I have always been a New England girl at heart, and grew up in beautiful southern Maine. After high school, I went on to graduate with a BS degree in Animal /Veterinary Science from the University of Maine, Orono in 1996. I then got my wish and was accepted into the Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine. I completed my veterinary degree in May of 2000 and began my veterinary career in the gorgeous and peaceful Berkshires of Massachusetts and Connecticut. I still reside there with my 7yr old little boy and my 2yr old mini schnauzer named Mr. Pickles. I thoroughly enjoy being a veterinarian and the lives of the people and animals I become involved with everyday. I love soft tissue surgery and everything from pet wellness visits to very sick animals who need my help to figure out what is going on to help make them feel better. I have come here to VCA Montgomery Road Animal Hospital both as a Medical Director and as a veterinarian to become involved with improving the health and the quality of life of our patients and to be sure we provide the best medicine and experience for our clients. I can't wait to meet more of this community and their furry, four- legged family members. Please feel free to call for an appointment today!.
