Excellent doctor. Was very pleased with his service.
Best doctor I ever had
Excellent job!
Great visit! Has taken care of me and. my family for over 30 years. The best!!!
Very professional, takes time to listen to me. He shows that he really cares about how I feel.
The nurse was very informative and answered my questions. I only asked Dr Phillips a couple of the same questions she already gave me great answers on. He gave me a suggestion of a good knee brace to use. If I'm sitting take off my brace but if up and moving around to wear my brace. I thank you and praying I don't have too many more issues with my knee in Jesus' name, Amen. Thank you Dr Phillips
