Northeastern Veterinary Care Center

At Northeastern Veterinary Care Center (NEVCC), we provide high-quality care with a hometown vet feel.

Located at 144 Whitehall Avenue in Mystic, Connecticut, NEVCC occupies a historic site boasting a long history of local veterinarians dating back to 1953. After purchasing the property in January 2017, Dr. Dianne Beal and her husband, Clayton, embarked upon the ambitious redesign of the facility to incorporate the latest breakthroughs in design and technology, all focused on improving efficiency and enhancing the experience for both our clients and their pets.

Animals have always been a central part of Dr. Beal’s life and her goal has been not only to serve her clients and their pets, but her community as well. After a career in research she returned to school to follow her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She obtained her DVM from Iowa State University and completed a portion of her training in the United Kingdom, attending the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Following graduation, Dr. Beal completed a small animal internship with a heavy focus on emergency medicine at Regional Veterinary Referral Center in Springfield, Virginia, and has worked in small animal practice both in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Dr. Beal has a soft spot for her older patients and a special interest in dermatology.

Our clients and their pets are part of our family, and our goal is to provide personalized attention with compassion, kindness, and respect. Our staff follows the principles of Fear Free® veterinary practice: strategies aimed at lowering stress levels for all our patients, delivering high-quality care in a positive, nurturing environment.

We are happy to announce that NEVCC has resumed in-clinic visits for clients! Due to ongoing pandemic concerns, we do require all guests, regardless of vaccine status, to wear masks covering both mouth and nose and ask all to hand sanitize upon entering. Please note that due to physical constraints, we are limiting one client to an exam room with their pet(s). And for those who prefer the convenience of curbside appointments, just call the clinic upon arrival and we can certainly accommodate. Unfortunately, we are still unable to resume our housecall service, but look forward to doing so in the future!
