Dr. Phillips was excellent from start to finish. Before my surgery, he made sure I was comfortable and took the time to explain exactly what was going to happen, which really put me at ease. He is very informative, personable, and genuinely cares about his patients.
My follow-up after surgery was just as positive. Dr. Phillips is an outstanding doctor, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate surgeon.
