Dr. Kathryn Williams graduated from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013 and completed an internship specializing in equine field service at Virginia Tech prior to starting Hill & Harbor Veterinary Service.

Growing up, Dr. Williams was an avid eventer and Pony Clubber, earning her graduate “B” rating and competing successfully at the Preliminary level. During her college years, Dr. Williams co-managed a professional dressage training facility where she enjoyed all facets of farm life including horse care, client services, never-ending maintenance and the handling/training of young horses. Though Dr. Williams enjoys all aspects of equine medicine, she has special interests in reproduction, podiatry and geriatric care.

We are very excited to welcome Dr. Joanna Kania to the Hill and Harbor Veterinary Services team in July 2022! Dr. Kania was born and raised in Massachusetts, but lived in Virginia for over 20 years obtaining her education and starting a family. Veterinary medicine is a second career for Dr. Joanna. She was involved in public safety before returning to her first passion and becoming a veterinarian. She graduated from Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine with a focus in equine medicine and then completed a one year internship with the Equine Field Services department. She has been involved with horses, and any other animal that came along too, her whole life. Growing up, she competed in dressage as a teenager, then one of her first jobs after college was managing a large western breeding, training, and showing barn and trail riding business in Virginia. Dr. Joanna is married and has three children; exploring and hanging out with her family and dog occupies her “down time.” Only the youngest made the move to Maine, the older two are in college in Virginia. She has been very happy to return to her New England roots and the whole family is excited to build a life here in Maine!
