As a mom I really REALLY appreciated how kind and caring he was with my kid. As a nurse of 24 years I was shocked. I’ve never met a surgeon as caring and patient EVER. I can’t believe how lucky we got for him to be the one to do my son’s collarbone surgery. Absolutely fantastic bedside manner

Dr. Philips explained the situation without mixing words. I think I have a good understanding of what may occur during surgery and what to expect when recovering. Outlining timelines was helpful. Good conversation.
