Our Staff

Dr. Kyle W. Sanders is our main veterinarian and the owner of Cordova Station. He has been practicing veterinary medicine for 35 years. When he is not working, he enjoys showing horses and riding his zero turn lawnmower. You won't catch him without a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tart, Mello Yello, or his Clic Reader Magnetic glasses around his neck. He truly is one of a kind.

Dr. Steve Warner has been at Cordova Station since 2004 and, when weather permits, you can catch him riding his bike to work. Dr. Warner walks everywhere he goes with a purpose and, if you are in his way, he will run you over! If you look closely, you can see flames coming off the bottom of his shoes.

Dr. Warner has been blessed with a happy marriage to his wife, Debbie, as well as blessed with three great kids. He is a dedicated turkey sandwich connoisseur and on his days off he enjoys playing pickleball, rock climbing, and going to the rifle range.

Robbie Phillips has been in veterinary medicine for 27 years, and has worked at Cordova Station since 2009. She shares a home with her husband, Kevin, and their three cats, Steve, Lola, and Gordon. She is an avid Sci-Fi fan and loves Godzilla. Don't even get her started on modern Star Trek, not enough hours in the day.

Dominick has been the groomer at Cordova Station since June 2005. He's been a lover of animals, large and small, since a child, and at ten-years-old he was already grooming the family's pet Schnauzer (although maybe not well enough to get paid for it).

During junior high and high school, Dominick worked weekends at a prominent poodle show kennel where he began to perfect the difficult show clips. Then off to California where he mastered the pet grooming business from one of the pros. Miami Beach beckoned and Dominick was grooming celebrity pets in South Beach.

Now, Dominick is here to make your pets feel pampered and look their best!

Christopher Gerbrand Bailey (yes…he wanted his full name), is one of our vet assistants and has been with us since November of 2019. Chris began working here when Cordova Animal Hospital closed after working there for 20 years. There isn’t a lot that we can tell you about Chris that he hasn’t already told you in grave detail. He could pretty much have a conversation with drywall…while underwater. Chris lives with his wife and their adorable chihuahua that they recently adopted named Chula. When we asked Chris if there was anything about himself that he hadn’t already told us 17 times, he said that he raised snails for 13 years and he loves to race them every other Sunday. He also said that he once ate his weight in Godfather’s pizza. We love to give him a hard time, but the clients ADORE him, and with good reason! His positive attitude and goofiness are contagious. We think we will keep him!

Born and raised in Memphis, Michelle has been in the veterinary field for several years, even prior to going Cordova Station in 2020. She is dedicated to caring for all of our patients and their families.

Michelle has three dogs, Bella, Thumper and Teddy, and two cats, Penny and Bentley. Aside from being an advocate for all animals, Michelle spends her spare time listening to music, watching her favorite show, Bridgerton, and spending time with friends at Disneyworld.

Brittany is one of our kennel technicians. She has been with us since August of 2020. Brittany loves bathing dogs and helping the technicians restrain. She describes herself as quirky and nerdy. 95% of the time we have no idea what she is saying. We are reading the same book but are definitely not on the same page. In her spare time Brittany loves playing My Little Pony video games and watching Anime, although it often makes her cry. She has a fear of all things driving related, especially 18-wheelers and left-hand turns. Nevertheless, she always makes it to work in plenty of time with Starbucks in hand. We are grateful to get to enjoy her bubbly personality and constant confusion.

Kyle has been a part of our team since December of 2021 and he is CONSTANTLY on X Games mode. He rode his Cannondale Mountain Bike from California all the way to Memphis, but somehow manages not to look both ways before he decides to get on my nerves. Rumor has it Kyle was on his way back from lunch one day, got hit by a car while riding his bike and wasn’t even late for his shift. *that’s not a rumor, it really happened* Not only does Kyle do great with any patient and client that come through the door, but he is also very handy fixing things we break around the office. When he is not at work Kyle enjoys going to the dog park and entertaining at various events around Memphis as the tail end of a two- man donkey suit.

She has two dogs, Bunny and Willow, and a few fish. She also has a four-year-old son, Luka. Jordan loves binge watching Netflix and playing all day with her son.
