This was my time visit with Dr. Phillips very polite and friendly. I have to have shoulder surgery and he went over the procedure with me from step to step. Start to finish. Answer ever question and concern that I had. He didn’t rush through my visit with him.

I had to wait an hour for my appointment however it was because he was caring for another patient - it’s rare that anyone spends time with patients these days but the wait was excessive

Dr. Phillips was awesome. He went over my options very thoroughly and I decided not to do a reverse shoulder replacement. He explained everything in a simple way that I could understand and made sense to me. I really appreciate him and it was very nice to hear him explain everything that was happening in a very simple manner. Great guy!👍

Dr Phillips took time to explain what was going on with my rotator cuff. He answered questions and ruled out any surgery or therapy at this time.
