General practitioner Dr. Cecily Nieh has cared for pets at Princeton Animal Hospital since 2010. Veterinary medicine has long been a passion of Dr. Nieh. She decided to become a veterinarian as a child when she asked her parents for a horse. They said no, because the medical bills would be too expensive, and so she decided then that the solution was to become a veterinarian. Since then, she's never regretted her decision to become a veterinarian. Saving a pet's life and making a difference in the lives of pets and their people is very rewarding to Dr. Nieh.
Dr. Nieh grew up in Brimfield, Mass. and attended Eastern Nazarene College. She received her Bachelor's Degree in Biology in 2000 and was valedictorian of her class. She continued her veterinary education at the Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. She was awarded her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. The following year, she completed a small-animal rotating internship at the prestigious Animal Medical Center in New York City.
She is interested in all aspects of veterinary medicine, but cases involving emergency medicine, critical care, surgery, and pet dentistry particularly intrigue Dr. Nieh.
At home, Dr. Nieh's pets keep her busy. Her cat, Vixen, is the "matriarch" of the family and rules the roost, while ferrets Trounce and Pudgie goof around all the time. Oatsie, a Malti-poo, is the latest addition to Dr. Nieh's family.
Reading, running, gardening, and practicing yoga are just some of Dr. Nieh's many outside pursuits. She is married to Dr. Douglas Nieh, an emergency room veterinarian.
