He served as Surgeon-Major of the Royal Armies, was appointed a Knight of the Order of Saint Michael in 1797 and became a corresponding member of the Grenoble Medical Society.Joseph-Philippe Philbert also treated the Prince of Condé’s son, Louis, Duke of Enghien, who was later assassinated in 1804 at Vincennes, and saved Princess Louise Adélaïde de Bourbon-Condé (1757–1824).He lived at 1 Place Royale in Nancy, having followed the princes into exile in Germany and then to London. It is likely that he returned to France during the Hundred Days.
