Dr. Meredith Lockwood received her undergraduate degree from Stanford University in 1996 and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Illinois in 2000, then completed a one-year internship in small animal medicine and surgery at VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital. She enjoyed the California weather so much that she stayed there for another 10 years, practicing as an associate vet at a five-doctor clinic in Manhattan Beach. While there she met her boyfriend Kory, a Gloucester native who was working in Hollywood, and they moved back to his hometown in early 2011. She joined the SeaPort team in the summer of 2011, bringing with her a strong interest in soft tissue surgery, preventive care, and large/giant dog breeds. In her free time she loves to putter away on her fixer-upper house, cheer on her beloved Chicago sports teams (and Kory’s Boston Bruins), and fill her stomach at the wonderful restaurants around Cape Ann.

She’s a firearms enthusiast, has completed a defense tactics course, and is a huge sports fan that looks forward to “Football Sunday’s” with friends.
