I really like Dr. Phillips. He is compassionate, listens and genuinely cares and I have never had a bad experience under his care!
I have been seeing Dr. Phillips for 26 years! He is always personable and helpful. The best of all my doctors and the most brilliant!
His professionalism and kind spirit helped soothe the news about the broken bone in my foot..
Another great visit, and he was attentive, helpful, and encouraging, overall.
Really doesn't spend much time with you.
He is amazing!!! Always spends time going over things and explaining.
Very thorough and kind. I wish all Doctors could be like him.
Dr Phillips care more about his patients than other physicians I’ve interacted with. Always a pleasure to see the good doctor.
