My name is Nick Duffield and I am originally from southern Ohio, across from Huntington, WV. I am a graduate of Marshall University (“We Are Marshall!”) and The Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine.

My veterinary interests include surgery and internal medicine. My favorite part of being a veterinarian is the relationships I get to form with animals and their people. It’s a joy and privilege to be given the opportunity to be a part of the Central Animal Hospital veterinary team that serves to keep your pets healthy and living their fullest life!

In my free time I enjoy golfing, playing drums and guitar, travelling, and spending time with friends and family. Being a New England newcomer, I look forward to exploring all this region has to offer from its food and sports to its history and natural beauty, and beyond!

In her free time, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her family, her cats Hugo and Penelope, and her Chihuahua mixes Oona and Wiggles.

I was born and raised in Dracut, MA. I am now raising my 7yr old son in the same neighborhood I grew up in. I am a dog and cat mom of Kia, Maggie and Bear. I went to Salem State University for communications with a concentration of advertising. I have been in the veterinary field for about 4.5 years now. My interests are dentals and surgeries. I like being able to meet and learn about all the patients and help the owners with anything they have questions with. In my free time I usually binge watch thrillers and true story documentaries. I love to go to NH and ME for day trips. My favorite thing is everything fall. I have a side hobby of photography when I have the time.
