Jennifer Mirecki, DVM

Dr. Jen Mirecki grew up in Windham, ME but spent the very early part of her childhood in rural Vermont, where most of her friends were the neighborhood dogs, next door neighbor's horse and a few llamas down the road. She decided that veterinary medicine would be her path at an early age. Dr. Mirecki earned her Bachelor's in Animal and Veterinary Sciences from the University of Maine and continued her education at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine where she earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. She spent the first few years of her career in a mixed animal veterinary practice which was a hybrid of general practice and emergency on-call practice for all animal species. She found that her greatest professional satisfaction came from treating emergent patients and elected to pursue a career in emergency veterinary medicine. Dr. Mirecki originally joined the Midcoast Animal Emergency Clinic team in February 2017. She left for a few years to explore other career goals but realized her true passion is emergency medicine and rejoined the Midcoast team in September 2021 as a full-time emergency veterinarian and Medical Director. 

Dr. Mirecki's interests include trauma medicine, laceration and wound repair and emergency surgery. She currently lives in central Maine with her husband Kevin, two dogs, three goats, a tortoise and a few barn cats. In her spare time she enjoys walking the dogs in the woods, gardening and relaxing.
