Kathleen Phillips graduated from Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. She has practiced small animal medicine and surgery in the Springfield area since graduation. She is certified in Acupuncture and Healing Food Therapy and provides these services to our patients. Dr. Phillips enjoys working with both dogs and cats, but has soft spots for ornery tuxedo cats and little dogs who snort. She is originally from Buffalo, New York, and loves to discuss the fortunes and misfortunes of her beloved Bills and Sabres. An avid Nationals fan, she can often be found sitting along the third baseline at Nationals Park with her husband Matt, her son Ethan, and anyone else who will tolerate her love of underrated third basemen and a good pitcher's duel. Her pup Scruffy and Groot adopted the family and is enjoying all of the exciting Phillips' adventures [citation].
