I left my previous orthopedic because of lack of explanation and treatment. Less than 30 minutes and Dr phillips explained more than the last Dr had in 8 years
Barry is an excellent doctor. He is very personable and explains in to detail what needs to be done and how he is going to go about doing it. Thank you for being a great caring doctor.
He listened to me, examined my arm, diagnosed the condition, thoroughly explained the diagnosis and provided excellent treatment for my problem. I highly recommend Dr Phillips.
He is a great dr
Gives you his full attention and explains exactly what the problem is. Highly recommend.
Brunt and to the the point about my left knee concerns. Kept saying that I’m not getting any younger. I at least know that better than anyone. I will do a full knee replacement on my terms and with cooperation with Dr. Phillips and the surgeon involved.
Professional, knowledgeable, perfect diagnosis and remedy. Obviously very experienced and schooled. Should be providing expertise as writer and author for the journal of medicine in his field.
Fantastic
Very informative! Very personable! Very helpful
Extremely personable, very professional, and so knowledgeable
