My name is Dr. Sara Mantovani-Schuell. I grew up in Connecticut and received my Bachelors degree at the University of New Hampshire. I then received my Veterinary degree from Ross University and completed my clinical training at Cornell. My main interests include internal medicine, particularly endocrine diseases as well as preventative care. I love being able to form relationships with clients and care for their pets throughout their entire life. 

I share a home with my boyfriend Dr. Brennan O'shea along with our three cats: Charlie, Lily, Callie, our dog Jojo and tortoise Shelly all of which are rescues. In my free time I love spending time outdoors skiing and hiking and spending quality time with my family and friends. I am looking forward to moving back to New Hampshire and becoming a part of the Winichahanat team!

My name is Dr. Brennan O'Shea. I'm originally from South Carolina and received my Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of South Carolina. I received my doctorate of veterinary medicine from Ross University and completed my clinical training at Cornell University. I'm very passionate in bringing insight to the community about preventive care and how it can impact not only the pet's health but also the safety and well-being of the family. My interests include surgery, internal medicine, dermatology and preventive care. 

For fun, I like to ski, explore unfamiliar areas, and play tennis, basketball, and golf. I also love to include my dog Jojo in my adventures while hiking and walking around town. She's originally from the Carribean island of St Kitts and enjoys her new life of sniffing new things. I also have three cats at home named Callie, Lily, and Charlie. All 4 pets are rescues, each with pasts that give them their unique personalities they have to this day.
