Meet Our Doctors

VETERINARIAN AND CO-OWNER

A native of northern Maine, Dr. Ouellette graduated from Madawaska High School in 1986 and went on to complete his undergraduate studies at McGill University in Montreal, earning a degree in Microbiology and Immunology. In 1996, he earned his veterinary degree from the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada, and followed with a one-year internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Dr. Ouellette has practiced in southern Maine since moving back in early 1998 and became the owner of Casco Bay Veterinary Hospital in March of 2005. He lives in sunny Saco with his wonderful family and assortment of furry friends and is a passionate amateur photographer in his spare time. When not at work or spending time with his friends and family, you can usually find Dr. Ouellette fishing in the local waters of Saco and Casco Bay.

VETERINARIAN AND CO-OWNER

Dr. Leven received an undergraduate degree in microbiology and then attended veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin, graduating in 1995. She then completed further training in medicine and surgery at the veterinary schools on Prince Edward Island and in Saskatchewan, Canada. She is originally from Sweden and moved to Maine in 1998. Prior to joining the crew at Casco Bay, she worked for 11 years at a local emergency and critical care hospital. She enjoys skiing, hiking, yoga, and spending time with her family.

Dr. Alicia Ring grew up in Downeast, Maine, and knew she wanted to become a veterinarian since she could remember. She graduated with a BS in Animal Science from the University of Maine at Orono in 2000 and then traveled to the midwest to study veterinary medicine at Iowa State University, where she earned her degree in 2004. Her travels weren’t over, though, as she and her husband moved to Portland, Oregon, to begin their careers. She practiced in small animal veterinary medicine as well as at a no-kill cat shelter called Cat Adoption Team, where she rescued her infamous cat Sparky who had been electrocuted on a utility pole. Finally, in 2007 her family had the opportunity to move back to their home state, and they jumped at the chance. Since that time, Dr. Ring has practiced as an associate and a relief veterinarian all over southern Maine. Her special interests include internal medicine, dentistry, and exotic animal medicine. She lives in Saco with her husband and four children, Lucas, Anna, Alex, and Elizabeth, as well as four friendly felines. She enjoys reading (in those rare snippets of free time), baking with her children, and spending time at the lake with her family.

Dr. Kayla Porcelli grew up in Portland Maine. She received her undergraduate degree at the University of Maine at Orono and her veterinary degree at Colorado State University. She has been practicing small animal medicine for seven years – as an associate in Colorado and Florida, and most recently as Chief of Staff in a hospital right outside of Boston. Dr. Porcelli knew she’d eventually end up back in Maine and joined Casco Bay Veterinary Hospital in 2023. Her special interests include dentistry, dermatology, and helping clients care for senior pets. She lives in Buxton with her fiancé (also a Maine native) and her two cats. In her spare time, she enjoys being active outside, seeing live music, crafts, reading, and spending time with friends and family.

HEAD VETERINARY TECHNICIAN

Elissa is a Maine native who grew up in Bucksport and always had pets, including many rescued cats over the years, which made her desire to help animals grow strong at a young age. Previous to Casco Bay, Elissa spent six years at a small animal clinic in South Portland upon graduation from the Veterinary Technology program at UMA-Bangor. While Elissa enjoys the science and medicine aspect that being a veterinary nurse involves, her passion lies in providing the best care for her patients, knowing that they are important members of the family. She is always looking to expand her knowledge by attending local CE and applying that knowledge to her daily life as a veterinary nurse. Outside of CBVH, Elissa enjoys being a part of the SoPo community, walking her pups at Kettle Cove, cruising around the city on her moped, traveling, camping, reading, and spending time with friends and family, especially her nephew Louie. She and her husband, Ryan, enjoy spending their free time working on their camper van conversion and updating their home. They share their lives with four cats and two Georgia rescue dogs: Lulu, a chihuahua/pit bull mix & Poe, a tripod chihuahua mix.

LICENSED VETERINARY TECHNICIAN

Meghan grew up in Central Maine and made her way down to the Portland area when she graduated with a veterinary technology degree in 2009. She spent five years in a veterinary specialty practice and then joined the Casco Bay team in June 2020. Meghan is excited to be in general practice now, where she can get to know the clients and their furry family members. Some of her special interests are client education and Labradors! That includes her own very special boy, a black lab named Cash.

TECHNICIAN ASSISTANT

Megan is one of our veterinary assistants living locally with her dog-like black cat named Gibbs, whom she had adopted from the first clinic she worked. Megan started her passion for caring for others in a human medical setting as a CNA but has always known that animals are her true passion. There is nothing she loves more than a big slobbery dog kiss and sweet kitty cuddles during her shift. In her spare time, you can find her reading a book, finding a new trail, or discovering new brunch spots in the area.

TECHNICIAN ASSISTANT

Dolly has been with us for over 20 years. She was a receptionist for the majority of that time and has recently become a technician assistant. In her spare time, Dolly enjoys playing bingo, roller skating, horseback riding, and spending time with her dog and family.

VETERINARY TECHNICIAN

As a lifelong animal lover, much of her career base has been working with companion animals. Brooke has been working at a local practice since 2006, performing multiple roles within. She graduated from PennFoster in the Veterinary Technician Program and will be utilizing her skillsets here at Casco Bay!

Brooke’s passion for helping pets and, more broadly, promoting preventative services and the benefits to our “Pet Parents” is something she enjoys in practice. Outside of work, Brooke enjoys spending time with her fur babies most of all. During Maine summers, you will find her spending a lot of time outside gardening or near the water.

CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE

Courtney is from Nashville, TN, and grew up a military brat, finally settling in Maine in her teens. She lives in Portland with her husband and their young daughter. After a few years of working as a pharmacy technician, she shifted gears, and CBVH welcomed her aboard the team in late 2018.

She is passionate about creating an inviting environment for pets and owners alike, educating clients (especially new pet owners!), and loves having the opportunity to be a great first impression for the hospital.

With all due respect and adoration for dogs, Courtney is most definitely a cat person. Her family currently has two feline friends – Cleopatra and Tito. At any given time during her childhood, there were at least three family cats. Courtney’s love for animals truly stems from her mother. She helped transport dozens of rescue dogs in Tennessee, and they had several foster pups in their home.

PRACTICE MANAGER

Angela joined our team in 2021. She has about 12 years of veterinary medicine experience, most of which was managing clinics. Prior to working in the veterinary field, she managed an organic farm with several acres of vegetables and animals. She lives in Wells with her husband Donnie, and two sons, Caden and Trent, and pups Magnum and Levi. In her spare time, Angela can be found doing anything outdoors, cooking, or photographing old barns.
