DR-Sofield | Bedford Animal Hospital in Bedford, NH ❘

William L. Sofield, DVM

Owner & Veterinarian

Read More

Dr. William (Bill) Sofield wanted to be a Veterinarian for as long as he could remember. He grew up in New Jersey, and after graduating from Lafayette College, he received a Master’s degree from the University of New Hampshire. He was awarded his Veterinary degree from Kansas State University, as well as a Ph.D. in Veterinary Parasitology. He returned to New Hampshire in 1983 and purchased the Bedford Animal Hospital with his partner Carl T. DePrima DVM. In 2006, Dr. Sofield assumed sole ownership of the practice.

In his practice of Veterinary medicine and surgery, Bill feels that it is important to build strong relationships with pets and their owners in order to best provide for the lifetime health and well-being of each pet.

Bill and his wife Barbara have three daughters, four granddaughters, and two Golden Retrievers, Gus and Maisie. In his time away from work, Bill enjoys many outdoor activities with his family, such as sailing, boating, skiing, snowshoeing, and hiking. He also is a “do-it-yourselfer” and has fun working on home projects.

Sophie| Bedford Animal Hospital in Bedford, NH ❘

Briana

“Of the three veterinarians I’ve worked with throughout my dog’s life, Bedford Animal Hospital is by far the best. They are thorough in their communication, they don’t press for things that aren’t needed (I don’t feel up-sold), and they’re very personable. My dog has always felt safest with their team, and they exhibit the highest operational competency I’ve encountered in veterinary services.”

‒ Richard S.
