Meet Our Doctors

Amy Damers earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in the year 2000. After graduation she set out to find a job in Connecticut to be near her family and Fiancée. While considering five different job offers she decided on a whim to make the long trip to the Northwest corner of Connecticut to interview at one last practice. She describes the experience as a moment of Zen. Within minutes of arriving she realized the Sand Road Animal Hospital was the embodiment of everything she dreamed a veterinary practice could be… beautiful setting, state of the art equipment and a group of talented and dedicated people committed to bettering the lives of animals and their people.

Dr. Amy grew up in New York on Long Island and is the youngest of 6 children. She graduated Magna cum Laude from Villanova University and did some post-graduate study and research at S.U.N.Y. Stony Brook. She currently resides in Sheffield, Massachusetts with her Husband Robert and their son Benjamin. Their home is made complete by 3 wonderful dogs (Golden Retriever, Boxer and Lab) and two very cool cats. In her free time she enjoys drawing, kayaking (with the dogs paddling behind the boat of course) and skiing.

As a veterinarian, Dr. Damers enjoys the research involved in challenging medical cases. She is an advocate of every aspect of preventative medicine, such as dental prophylaxis and screening blood and urine tests, in an effort to either prevent disease or treat it early on. She enjoys working with “pocket pets” such as rabbits, ferrets and even reptiles. Some of her other interest include using the ultrasound unit for diagnostic imaging and helping patients with cancer.
