The staff was great . They were so nice and understanding about our feelings with our dog . The vet was so nice and very good at explaining what was wrong . If you have a emergency I would highly recommend them they were all very nice and compassionate

My experience with this practice, and in particular with Dr Lesley Phillips, was exceptional. I had been taking care of a young stray cat for a couple of weeks when he showed up at my home with a severe leg injury. A visit to my regular vet showed two displaced fractures of his femur, one at the knee and one at the hip. Both fractures were at growth plates, which are only found in young animals and heal very quickly. Frustratingly, the first several orthopedic surgeons a called wanted to see him 1 to 4 weeks later. Fortunately, I called AERC and Dr Phillips understood the significance of this injury. They took him in to treat pain and operated on his knee and hip the next day (the fractures were indeed already healing in displaced form). While he was in the hospital, Dr Phillips called me every day to tell meet how he was. My vet's office tells me she called them with updates as well, which impressed them. The surgical wounds healed beautifully. His physical abilities are returning rapidly, now 4 weeks post surgery. Because of their exceptional care and surgical skill, I believe he's going to be ok, which is remarkable given the severity of these fractures. I'm very grateful to Dr Phillips and the staff at AERC (I believe the woman who took my call was Lori or Laurie, and she was great as well) for their professionalism, compassion, and skill. I recommend them highly.

Dr. Phil is an amazing vet who is extremely dedicated and caring towards his clients and their fur family. I’ve had to call him on multiple occasions after hours and he’s always gone above and beyond his duty to care for us. I’m very happy to see him open his own practice , and I highly recommend to anyone in this area.

We were referred to Dr. Phillip's for removal of both anal gland on our 12 year old beagle/Bassett mix in October of last year. Buddy had a tumor removed from one anal gland that was cancerous and had complications following that surgery. Dr. Phillip's was great with us and Buddy. We felt more at ease after our initial consult, she kept us informed all along the way. Buddy's recovery after surgery to have both glands removed was quicker and smoother than the surgery to have just the tumor removed, and there were no complications. I would highly recommend her for any surgery but definitely any complicated surgery.

Animal Emergency and referral center is a state of the art facility with amazing medical equipment. they have a Hyperbaric oxygen chamber that is truly amazing. if you ever have a pet emergency don't hesitate to call the wonderful doctors and staff at the AERC
