Dr. Mello grew up on the South Shore of Massachusetts and has always felt a connection with animals. She was lucky to attend Norfolk County Agricultural High School, where part of her time was spent out of the classroom working with the animals on campus. She had the opportunity to participate in a veterinary and research internship during that time, which sparked her passion for veterinary medicine and biomedical research. After high school, she attended SUNY Canton, where she obtained her BS in Veterinary Science Technology and became a licensed veterinary technologist (LVT). During her time as an emergency and anesthesia LVT, Dr. Mello got an incredible amount of satisfaction from helping people and their pets during the times they really needed it - in the emergency room. After some time working in emergency, she realized she missed catching up with and getting to know the clients and pets she interacted with, so she decided to give primary care a try!

Dr. Mello received her DVM degree from Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. She enjoys many aspects of medicine and likes a variety of cases (perfect for primary care)! A few of her favorites are internal medicine, cardiology, urgent care, and surgery. She really values her patients' comfort during her appointments, and she is an Elite Fear Free Certified Professional.

When she isn't working, Dr. Mello can be found hiking with her dog, Spookey, kayaking, at the beach, camping, traveling, or watching some of her favorite TV shows.

The human animal bond is incredibly important to Dr. Mello, and she can't wait to provide a space where clients and their pets can receive compassionate, quality veterinary care.
