Dr. Betsy Phillips

I grew up near Kansas City, Missouri and enjoyed having cats and dogs as pets as well as raising orphaned wildlife (birds, cottontails, squirrels) and creating (temporary) natural habitats for bullfrogs in the guest bathroom. I graduated from the College of William and Mary in Virginia with a double major in biology and anthropology. I then enjoyed guiding horseback trail rides in Rocky Mountain National Park before attending veterinary school at the University of Missouri where I graduated summa cum laude.

My husband Greg and I moved to the Carson Valley after graduation and we love living in the Silver State! Time away from the clinic is spent hiking with my German Shepherd, Elke in the Sierras or on the water at Tahoe or following my kids to their myriad middle school and high school activities. Our cat Clementine also allows me to live in her world.
