Our Staff

• T. Frank Marchell , DVM

  
  

  I live in Hampton Falls, NH with my wife Cindy (also a veterinarian) and two children, Joey and Abby. We currently have five cats and two dogs. There would be many more pets if Abby had her way. I grew up in Ithaca, NY and attended Cornell University for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I graduated from Cornell's veterinary college in 1987 and have worked in this area since then. Prior to starting vet school I worked on sheep ranches in Wyoming and dairy farms in Colorado. I also worked in a medical entomology lab raising mosquitoes and black flies and spent 6 months on the island of St. Croix studying a bioluminescent crustacean.

• Jacky Brown

  
  

  Jacky Brown is Piscataqua Animal Hospital and Sagamore Animal Hospital's bookkeeper and resident desk potato. Jacky began working as a Veterinary Technician in 1974 for Dr. Ed Eames and has been a member of the "vet set" ever since. After over 20 years of swallowing her share of cat hairs and having her pockets piddled in, she retired as a tech in 1998, and began handling the money matters rather than the needles and hemostats. Employment for Dr. Mike Schafer at Sagamore Animal began in 1993 and for Piscataqua Animal Hospital for Drs' Mike Schafer and Frank Marchell in 1996. Now enjoying the best of both worlds by still being in the "biz", Jacky works every day with a cat or dog in her lap, and loves every minute of it.
