Dr. Christopher Norman
Doctor
Dr. Norman was born and raised in Brunswick and went on to attend the University of Maine, graduating in 1998 with a degree in Animal Science. He then spent 10 years in Louisiana managing two of the three LSU dairy farms and making both some of the highest-producing dairies in the state, despite discontinuing the use of artificial growth hormone! During his cow years at LSU, he earned a Master’s degree in Lactation Physiology/Mastitis and went on to graduate from LSU with his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. He also learned how to make an amazing chicken and andouille gumbo. From LSU, he went on to New Jersey, where he completed a wonderful yet rigorously challenging internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Garden State Veterinary Specialists. Most recently, he was practicing in Bangor – he is excited about being closer to home and in his hometown after 15 years away.

Victoria
Licensed Veterinary Technician
Victoria has been in the field since 2015. She began her career working in emergency/ critical care and currently works in general practice/ surgery today. She has an interest in internal medicine and enjoys learning something new about it every day. Her favorite part of being a veterinary technician is that it’s never boring because no day is the same. Victoria loves all animals (but has been known to spoil chihuahuas). She enjoys spending her spare time by the sea, in nature, or at home crocheting with her fur babies. Victoria is the proud mom of three cats- Tyga, Little, and Raven, a chihuahua named Fatelli Jones, and a blue heeler named Luna.
