Lakeside Veterinary Clinic                    caring   .....  for your pets





Dr. Eleanor Sabean been practicing in Maine since 1993.  A native of Nova Scotia, she graduated from the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 1993 also.  Veterinary medicine, her first love, is a second career for her; after working as a Systems Analyst and university professor (she also earned a Bacehlor of Commerce and an MBA before going to vet school) she decided to pursue the only "business" she would truly enjoy.  Designing, building, setting up and opening Lakeside Vets in 2004 has been a realization of  this dream.  

Dr. Sabean finds working with pets and their people always interesting and continues to love learning about new and better ways to care for her patients. Surgery is an area of particular interest for her, and she has been working to improve her skills in ultrasound as well.   Her background in teaching also helps her communicate with owners about their pets, which she feels is the cornerstone of effective care.  Helping owners understand what a pet is going through, what it needs, and how it can be helped is very important to her.  

Dr. Sabean loves living in Oakland with her small zoo of three human children, her partner Joel, three cats, three dogs, a special bunny and four horses.
