Dr. Lesser became lead veterinarian and owner of NOAH—as the hospital is known to friends—in 2011, when Vermont’s opportunities for life balance enticed her to relocate from Delaware. She works with colleagues Lisa Colgan, DVM (veterinary associate), David Sobel (veterinary consultant), and a support staff of nurses, receptionists, and office managers. NOAH focuses on the care of cats and dogs, but Dr. Lesser’s team also sees rabbits, ferrets, hedgehogs, “and the occasional wounded wild bird” with less frequency but equal enthusiasm.
