Dr. Jaycob Bowker, DVM

Dr. Bowker began practicing at Brewer Vet in the summer of 2023, but has been a familiar face at the clinic long before that. Born and raised right here in Brewer, he shadowed at BVC in high school, then worked as a veterinary assistant while studying as an undergrad at the University of Maine. Dr. Bowker completed his studies at the University of Prince Edward Island.

Dr. Bowker’s love of problem solving, science, and animals made his decision to pursue veterinary medicine in high school an easy one. Internal medicine and surgery are two areas in the profession that he is particularly fond of.

In his spare time, Dr. Bowker enjoys the many activities that his home state has to offer such as camping, fishing, hiking, and kayaking/canoeing. He also enjoys the occasional video game or two. Dr. Bowker also loves spending time with his family’s four dogs - three Labradors and one border collie.

Dr. Fiona Doody, DVM

Dr. Fiona attended the University of New Hampshire for her undergraduate studies and Cornell University for her doctorate. She decided to become a veterinarian at the age of 8, and held her first veterinary "job" volunteering in the kennel at an animal hospital when she was 11. As a teen, she gained plenty of animal experience on her parent's farm, which cemented her interest in veterinary medicine. 

Prior to moving to Maine she had a veterinary practice in New Hampshire for 20+ years. Her veterinary interests include dentistry, dermatology and nutrition. 

Dr. Fiona moved to Maine in 2021 to be closer to her parents and husband Jeff's family. She lives with Rupert, a mini bull terrier, Charlotte, a tortoise and Norm, a snake. Her daughter, Natalie, still resides in NH, but her son, Gareth, recently moved to Maine. 

Dr. Fiona enjoys cooking and entertaining family and friends, her ever changing craft interests, and tending her extensive flower garden of daylilies and dahlias (and any other perennial she can find).

Dr. Michael Wolland, DVM

Dr. Michael Wolland has been with BVC since spring of 2023, but has been practicing veterinary medicine for over 55 years. He completed his undergraduate studies at Dartmouth College, and graduated from the Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine in 1968. He has an interest in preventative medicine as well as endocrinology.

Dr. Wolland knew he wanted to be a veterinarian from the age of 10. His love of animals as a child was not limited to just dogs and cats, but loved monkeys and rabbits as well. Dr. Wolland grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, but has lived in New York, “The County” in northern Maine, and Maryland

Dr. Wolland has a fabulous sense of humor and a sharp wit. When asked if he has any fun facts about his life he’d like others to know, he replied “I was alive before Pearl Harbor and went to the movie theater as a kid and paid 25 cents total for the movie, a popcorn, and a drink!” 

When Dr. Wolland is not working part time at Brewer Vet Clinic, he enjoys playing bridge and ballroom dancing. He first visited Brewer Vet as a client with his French bulldog and ended up staying half the day to shadow our staff. He loved it here so much that he decided to join our staff. Dr. Wolland now resides in Bangor.
