Dr. Phillips is very thorough and discusses options with you. He has done a previous surgery on me and I highly recommend him. Excellent bedside manner which is rare!
So clear on what the issue was and how to treat going forward!
Dr Phillips is THE BEST!! He’s always so good about explaining things and taking time to answer any questions. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!!
