Dr. Niles Carlson has been working as a veterinarian in the Mid-Coast area since 2012. She grew up in Massachusetts but spent many summers exploring the lakes region of Maine with her family. In 2005, she graduated from St. Lawrence University with a BS in Biology. After graduation, she started her veterinary journey as an anesthesia technician at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston while applying to vet schools. She graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College on Prince Edward Island in 2011. Following graduation, she relocated to New Jersey to undertake a one-year small animal rotating internship at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital. Subsequently, in 2012, she moved to Maine. She has worked at general practices and emergency clinics over the last ten years, both full-time and as a relief veterinarian in the Mid Coast region, before starting here at Androscoggin Animal Hospital. She has a special interest in surgery, dentistry, and ultrasound.
She met her husband, Christian, after moving to Maine. They currently live with their daughter Lyra, two cats (Elsa and Lina), and a dog (Gowan). During the summer, they enjoy exploring Casco Bay and its islands on their sailboat and are excited to share that adventure with Lyra this year.
