Your pet’s home away from home
At Dagenais Veterinary Clinic, we have a simple motto: Pets come first. We opened our doors in June of 2024, fulfilling the lifelong dream of our veterinarian, Dr. Nick Dagenais, to open his own practice. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Nick is passionate about giving every pet the very best care, in a warm and welcoming environment that feels just like home.
We’re more than a clinic – we’re family. We cherish cats and dogs. We want you and your pet to feel loved and cared for every time you walk through our doors. Every room in our custom building was designed to house personalized attention, clear communication, and trusting relationships that last a lifetime.

Dr. Nick Dagenais
The power of the animal-human bond has always fascinated Dr. Nick. It was this passion that led him to the University of Tennessee’s Veterinary School. His diverse training included working with livestock, participating in the Great Smoky Mountains Black Bear monitoring program, and gaining valuable experience with exotic animals, from cobras to polar bears, at the Knoxville Zoo.
Born in Rapid City, South Dakota, Dr. Nick had already lived in eight states by eighth grade. His mother was a teacher, and his father was an engineer whose job kept the family moving. After graduating, Dr. Nick settled in Massachusetts and became Medical Director and Chief Surgeon of one of the region’s most successful animal hospitals.
At Dagenais Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Nick focuses on improving the health of our companion animals. In his precious downtime, he relaxes while playing with his four dogs: CB, Belle, Ezmeralda, and Truly. In the summer, when not at the clinic, you can find Dr. Nick tending to his gardens.

A native of Northern New Jersey, Dr. Markeya Williams is passionate about geriatric and exotic animal medicine. After completing her undergraduate studies in Animal & Poultry Sciences at Tuskegee University in 2002, she obtained a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006.
Dr. Williams is also highly skilled in comparative anatomy, pain management, exotic animal surgery and soft tissue/dental surgery. Her colleagues often tell clients that “She will see any species that walks, flies, slithers, or swims through the door of the clinic”.
Alongside a thriving career in academia (Cornell, UPenn, and Harvard), where she served as clinical veterinarian and surgical faculty, Dr. Williams has served as Medical Director in corporate General Practices & Urgent Care clinics.
