About Aspen Animal Wellness
Drs. Indart and Phillips began working together in 2008. They formed a fast bond as it quickly became clear that they shared a passion for practicing high-quality medicine and treating patients and their owners with warmth and fact they did things so similarly and could actually pass for sisters that clients often thought theyd seen Dr. Indart when theyd actually seen Dr. Phillips and vice versa! Over the years they have not only worked together in the clinic but have been co-medical directors of two major veterinary continuing education conferences in the U.S. where they developed programs to educate veterinarians technicians and veterinary staff from around the world.
