Our Veterinary Team East Haven Veterinary Service

Dr. Matt Reimert grew up in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, a small town in eastern PA situated between two small cities. His education and early family life did not take him far from home as he attended college in Reading, PA and veterinary school in Philadelphia, PA at the University of Pennsylvania. After vet school, Dr. Matt completed a rotating internship at a large specialty hospital in Gaithersburg, Maryland. That experience allowed Dr. Matt to hone many of the skills and much of the knowledge acquired in vet school prior to entering veterinary practice back in eastern PA.

After the internship, Dr. Matt was offered a position as an associate veterinarian at the practice he had worked in prior to going to vet school. He was very fortunate to work for a husband and wife veterinary team who demonstrated excellence in the practice of veterinary medicine and in running an animal hospital. Dr. Matt spent 12 years at Hamilton Animal Care progressing his skills as a veterinary clinician with particular attention to high level patient care and excellent client care and education. His early career has allowed him to understand the importance of thorough client education when it comes to successfully treating his patients and their pets. In addition to the time spent as a general practitioner, Dr. Matt continued to work as an emergency veterinary clinician in a world-class specialty hospital just outside of Philadelphia.

Travel has always been an important part of Dr. Matt’s family life, and he came to know Vermont and the Northeast Kingdom during some of those travels. The beauty of the area, the friendliness of the people, and the opportunity to work with Dr. Sally at East Haven Veterinary Service made the move to the NEK a natural next step in his personal and professional life. Dr. Matt and his family are very happy to be a part of the NEK community!

Dana graduated from Cazenovia College in 2017 with a degree in Equine Business Management. With a lifelong love and passion for animals she knew she needed to be involved with the animal care field. During her college career she was able to intern at two veterinary clinics which helped her discover her interest in small animal medicine. After graduating she worked as a Veterinary Assistant in Maine. She has now recently moved back to Lyndonville, VT where she lives with her husband Trevor, their two dogs, two cats and 6 horses. When she is not working, Dana enjoys spending time in the barn and at the lake.

Nicki Reimert joined the East Haven Veterinary staff in July 2018 along with Dr. Matt. As the practice manager of the clinic, Nicki serves many roles in the practice and focuses on much of the behind-the-scenes work, but you will also be speaking to her on the phone when you call for an appointment or advice.

Nicki grew up in Kutztown, Pennsylvania and graduated summa cum laude from Cedar Crest College in Allentown, PA. She has extensive experience that is focused in human resources, operations and marketing. Nicki loves to travel, read, mountain bike, hike and explore outdoors with her husband and their identical twin daughters. The Reimerts pet family consists of three dogs (Davey, Ginny & Kingsley), two cats (Wally and Dozer), and two guinea pigs (Curtis and Bob). Nicki is so happy to be part of the East Haven team and is excited to get to know you and your family members – furry or otherwise!
