Dr. Jeff Phillips is originally from the Baltimore area. He graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelors of Science degree in Zoology. After graduation, he did 3 years of research at John’s Hopkins, investigating new medications to combat organ transplant rejection. He then did a one year stint in Nepal studying the mating habits of mountain yeti and search for clues as to the whereabouts of the abominable snow beast of Tibet.

On his triumphant return to the US, he decided to return to school and got his degree in medicine and surgery at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. He practiced his craft for 21 years in southern Maryland. After living in close proximity to Washington, DC, he decided to relocate to the warmth and beaches in Wilmington. He worked for 2 years in Wilmington before joining the team at Capeside Animal Hospital.

Dr. P has more than 25 years of experience in veterinary practices. His area of interest include feline medicine (member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners for 25 years) and soft tissue surgery.

Away from the hospital, he enjoys fitness activities like weightlifting and yoga. He is an avid fan of baseball (go Nats!) He commits as much time as possible underwater, scuba diving in the Caribbean and Florida Keys. In downtime, he enjoys gardening and reading with his crew of 4 cats and 2 dogs (when they permit it) and honing his dry and strange wit to a razor’s edge.
