Dr. Brandon Phillips was born and raised in Buffalo, New York (Go Bills!). He earned his bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Technology and worked as a licensed veterinary technician both before and throughout veterinary school, gaining valuable hands-on experience that continues to shape his clinical approach today. He completed his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at St. George’s University in Grenada, graduating Summa Cum Laude, and finished his final year of clinical training at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Phillips is excited to bring his skills and passion to the Midwest as he begins serving the pets and pet parents of Chicago. His professional interests include preventive medicine, surgery, exotic animal care, emergency medicine, and urgent care. He has also completed a certification course in peaceful euthanasia and holds a special interest in supporting families through end-of-life care. With a focus on gentleness, clear communication, and compassion, he strives to ensure every patient is treated with dignity and every family feels supported during challenging moments.

During veterinary school, Dr. Phillips served as president of his local Student American Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) chapter, where he developed a strong appreciation for organized veterinary medicine and its role in advancing the profession and improving animal welfare.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Phillips enjoys playing video games—especially League of Legends—along with cooking, baking, and trying new recipes. He loves to travel, is currently learning to speak Thai, and hopes to visit Thailand soon. He lives with his partner and their Chocolate Labrador retriever, Lana Dog Rey.
