In the winter months, I enjoy traveling with my family to the mountains of Maine where I ski, snowboard, and snuggle up next to a warm fire to read a good book or crochet blankets.

Marc Troob, Hospital Supervisor/Patient Care Manager
Graduate of both Saint Michaels College VT with a BS in Biology and Ross University of Veterinary Medicine Saint Kitts with a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine

Been working in the practice since 1994 (when someone called out sick and my father said it was time to get dressed and head to the office)

I love to talk to clients and use real world human examples to try to help them explain what is going on with their pets. A lot of times once they can think about certain things personally they can better understand the treatment or care their pets need.

In my free time I love to ski and ride bike with my wife and daughter. I enjoy building local mountain bike trails and working with youth riders as both coach and mentor. Currently working on building out a camper van for family adventure in the future.
