All of the vets and staff have taken amazing care of the animals of Amberwood Sanctuary. Drs. Ford, Dr. Green, and Dr. Fowler have always been kind, attentive, and patient. Love thier four-legged staff as well. Sharing a picture of Smudge, the cat, approving of the pet carrier.

My family brought home a beautiful Husky puppy on a Saturday. As usual, we had 48 hours to get our puppy checked out by a vet. We took our puppy to Philema Animal Hospital the next Monday as a walk-in patient. We were seen quickly, and we were provided amazing service by Ally and Dr. Fowler. I highly recommend Philema Animal Hospital, and my family will exclusively use this vet business to keep our 2 cats and 4 dogs healthy.

Stuck in old ways like the Dr's. Who pushed covid vacine. They want you to feed your dogs corn and rice.. They have been educated by big pharma and the dog food companies. They sell science diet in the office....directly confronted about raw carnivore feeding, and they flatly deny the tremendous benefits and push for a fundamentally flawed and broken nutrition scheme. Dogs should not be fat or have endless allergies or plaque covered teeth. Good vets. Fundamental misunderstanding. Just like those who took the JAB.

****MILITARY BEWARE ***** If you are military and looking to move overseas with your pets, you may want to avoid this center. Unprofessional, rude and out right expensive. This center has no true care for the pets, but all about the money. My wife and I had the run-around trying to obtain a pet health certificate for our 3 dogs to move to Germany with us. They informed us they do this all the time, however, it took several days for them to fill out paperwork. Being a time sensitive situation, this was very stressful. When the paperwork was completed, the office manager Melissa called with attitude, informing us that she spent all day doing the paperwork - quite rude. They charged us 700$ for my dogs to get looked over for their certificate. On top of the 700$, we were also informed of a 300$ "process fee" for them to submit the health certificate to the USDA. When it's your babies, you will pay it, and we couldn't move to Europe without the paperwork. It is just so sad how they take advantage and not give the pet's best interest. Greedy and money hungry. Do not go here!

I took my dog to Dr. Green for a second opinion from a referral from a very close friend & long time customer. I trusted his opinion and let him keep my dog overnight to perform several necessary surgical procedures. He sensed my nervousness and gave me a complete tour of his office which included a full tour of the hospital and surgical area and explained in great detail what he would be doing and what to expect afterwards. He and his staff truly loves animals and provided the best care to my dog than I could have asked for. I live 2 hours away from his office but knowing the level of care he provided my dog with was well worth the time and money spent! My dog doesn't like him at all but what dog enjoys going to the doctor anyways?!?! He's honest, fair, and sincere when it comes to animals and that's most important!
