After more than 10 years of dedicated service, our beloved receptionist Mary will be retiring on Wednesday, June 3rd.

For over a decade, Mary has been one of the first friendly faces to greet our clients and patients. Her kindness, compassion, and warm smile have touched countless lives, and she has been an invaluable part of our team. While we are excited for her as she begins this new chapter, she will be dearly missed by all of us.
If you'd like to help us celebrate Mary's retirement and wish her well, please feel free to stop by on Tuesday or Wednesday between 10:00 AM and 5:30 PM.

Thank you, Mary, for your years of dedication, friendship, and care. We wish you nothing but happiness, relaxation, and wonderful adventures in retirement! ❤️

Wells Dog and Cat Hospital would like to welcome and introduce Dr. Hilary Nims, Medical Director to you!

Dr. Hilary Nims was born, raised, and educated in Michigan. She earned her Bachelor of Science with honors in biopsychology and cognitive science from the University of Michigan in 2002, followed by her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2008.

Dr. Nims began her career in private small animal practice, working primarily in New York City until 2016. She then transitioned to the pharmaceutical industry as a Professional Services Veterinarian, where she provided RACE-approved continuing education lectures to general practitioners and specialists. Her areas of focus included canine hyperadrenocorticism, canine hypoadrenocorticism, feline hyperthyroidism, topical dermatologic therapies, anesthesia, and fluid therapy.

In 2023, Dr. Nims returned to private practice, working as a relief veterinarian across hospitals in Maine and New Hampshire, while also offering comprehensive in-home care for clients in southern Maine. Her professional interests include feline medicine, internal medicine, and geriatric care, with a particular emphasis on end-of-life support.

Dr. Nims is thrilled to join the team at Wells Dog and Cat Hospital. Having previously worked relief shifts at the hospital, she was impressed by the team’s dedication and the strong relationships with clients, and eagerly accepted the opportunity to join full-time in May 2026. She considers it a privilege to serve the community and is committed to delivering high-quality medicine with a focus on low-stress handling and clear, compassionate communication.

Dr. Nims is based in Portland, Maine—her favorite place she has lived after calling five states home. Outside of work, she enjoys antiquing with her partner and spending time with her black cat, Raven, whose antics never fail to entertain.

Today we’re celebrating the heart of our clinic—our incredible veterinary receptionists Kim, Miranda, & Mary! 🐾💙

You’re the first smile our clients see and the calming voice they hear during stressful moments. You juggle phones, appointments, questions, and emotions with grace, compassion, and patience—even on the busiest days.

Thank you for being the bridge between worried pet parents and the care their furry family members need. Your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed, and your impact is bigger than you know.

We appreciate you today and every day—because this place wouldn’t run without you! 🐶🐱✨
