What Our Employees are Saying...

“It has been my privilege to work with Phil for the past 17 years, and I see him as more than just my boss, but a personal friend. Over the years, I have assisted him in hundreds of surgeries, from TPLOs to a lung lobectomy. Thanks to him I was able to hold a beating heart in my hand. How cool is that?! Regardless of the complexity, he approaches every animal and every case with the same level of care and concern. I have learned so much from him over the years we have worked together, and have become a better veterinary nurse through my work with him. Not only is he a fantastic colleague and mentor, he is an excellent surgeon who I would trust with any of my own pets - and I have.”

“I have definitely gained so much after working with you. I've gotten so much better with X-rays, CRIs, anesthesia, scrubbing in, and client care. Working with you really gave me a chance to bloom in those areas. I had not done as much surgery before. Thanks to you, I was able to grow my anesthesia skills. Building confidence is a huge key mentally that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. I feel good about what I'm doing and what I'm capable of! Thank you for allowing me to work with you.”
