Since 1976 I have been a client of Dr. Phelan’s (and now Drs. Maria & Ken Overmyer’s). Dr. Phelan was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, competent, & compassionate. His dedication to the care of my dogs was phenomenal. We both lived in Glenwood Manor and if I had a recovering dog, he would stop by to check up on them during his Sunday walks. One Sunday my dog’s anal glands burst - Dr. Phelan agreed to operate on him if I could assist and literally hold the tail as it was Sunday and there was no support staff working on Sunday. During the surgery I gelt faint but told myself “buck up I need to hold the tail”. When Dr. Phelan finished I went out the back door, leaned against the building wall and passed out. Dr. Phelan now had two patients that were “out”. He treated both of us with expediency and kindness. I will forever be grateful for his dedicated care of my puppies over the years and entrusting his legacy to Drs. Maria & Ken Overmyer who to this day carry on his legacy through their dedication to the care of our pets. Dr. Phelan’s professionalism and dedication to the care of our pets will reside in my memories forever.
