Dr. Thomas M. Niedermeyer graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania in 1989. He had previously completed a B.A. in Biochemistry with a minor in German, also at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to joining The Animal Hospital of South Gorham in the fall of 2003, Dr. Niedermeyer managed and provided veterinary coverage for the Animal Emergency Clinic in Portland. He enjoys the wide variety of patients seen at our clinic and our long-term association with clients. Fish medicine, chelonians, geese, sheep, and goats are his particular interests. Dr. Niedermeyer and his family recently started showing and breeding dairy goats; they enjoy the milk and cheese. He is an avid gardener when his daughters leave him a little peace and quiet [citation][2].
