Dr. Noble is proud to have served our country and is now thrilled to return to Midcoast Maine to start her own practice in Wiscasset.

Dr. Noble resides in Wiscasset and when not at work she can most likely be found aboard her kayak in the Maine waters, hiking in the mountains with her dog Mae, out in her garden, or reading a good book with a steaming cup of tea and her cat Petey by her side.
