Meet the Hometown
Dr William Phillips
Owner/Veterinarian
“Doc” as he has been known for most of his adult life, has been doctoring animals for 42 years. He went to college at Purdue University, but he grew up here in Elnora, and after many successful years practicing in Washington, he had a desire to practice in the country setting if his hometown.
He lives on his family farm with his wife and young son. His family, cattle, German shepherds, and of course we cannot forget Trigger the terrier, keep him busy when he is not looking after your pets at the clinic. Doc has a passion for medicine and caring for animals and is capable to care for yours!
