WHAT CLIENTS SAY?
KIND WORDS FROM PHIL'S CLIENTS
"Thank Dr. Phil, I got the best vet treatment not only in terms of physical but also emotional aspects. Dr Phil is really a person who cares about our pets, wants to provide best possible advise and help I have been to many respectable vets around Melbourne who won't even care about my concerns stating the pet feels great, when I can see he suffers. I will be sticking to this vet from now on and will be consulting Dr. Phil who is one of the best veterinarians so far in Melbourne."
"I see Dr Phillip for my pets. Watching this man work is absolutely mind blowing. Not only did he get my pets blood work done in under 7 minutes, but he also checked for bacterial/parasites in my pets poop, taking again less than 7 minutes. He took my pets radiograph in less than 20 minutes too. This man is an absolute powerhouse for animal care and he is so compassionate towards his patients. He is completely composed when working with people and polite when addressing his concerns/pet owner concerns. He is completely caring towards animals and you can tell. Dr Phillip is gifted, he is able to do bloodworks/radiographs without anaesthesia safely. I put my full trust with this vet for my animals and I would not take them to any other vet. While I have been ranting about how good this vet is, it’s true. "
"Dr Phil is absolutely amazing.
He has helped save my pets when other vets wanted to give up on them and simply put them down !
I have taken my cat, pigeons and dog to him. He goes above and beyond to spend the time with you going through all your concerns and all possible treatment options in extensive detail.
He is highly knowledgeable and experienced."
