What’s Up Doc?

Diana Watkins graduated Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. During her time at Tufts, she received the highest honors and also pioneered a surgical externship program with general practice clinics. She spent one summer doing all the spays and neuters for Lowell Humane Society and Pets in Need Rescue. She was president of the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Since graduation Diana has practiced at several local veterinary clinics, honing her craft and learning from the wonderful patients she has treated for over a decade. She loves surgery and finds it very calming and meditative, however her favorite thing about being a veterinarian is the client and patient relationships she gets to form. During exams, she very rarely uses the exam table, and can often be found snuggling on a chair with a cat or sitting on the floor with a dog. She considers herself so incredibly lucky that not only does she get to work with animals, but also the wonderful people that bring them in. Dr. Watkins has always had the dream to open up her own small animal clinic and is so excited that dream is finally coming to fruition.

Dr. Amanda Lincoln was raised in southeastern Massachusetts and now lives on the South Shore. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and Environmental Toxicology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and went on to receive her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine.

With years of experience in the veterinary field, Dr. Lincoln has practiced primary care medicine for both dogs and cats in Hingham and Pembroke, while also providing relief coverage for a variety of veterinary practices across Boston, the South Shore, and Cape Cod. This diverse background has given her extensive clinical experience, allowing her to offer high-quality, compassionate care to pets in various settings. Dr. Lincoln has particular professional interests in oncology, dermatology, dentistry, and feline internal medicine.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Lincoln enjoys gardening and camping. She shares her home with her three sons, three cats—Clementine, Marmalade, and Kit—and a sweet Golden Retriever named Piper, all of whom keep her life both joyful and busy.
