His bedside manner is tremendous. And he was extremely thorough. He was handling my shoulder area and did so with kid gloves! I really appreciate Dr.Phillips, and without any doubts would recommend him. Thank you, Doctor Phillips.

Very nice and straightforward. Would definitely visit him again. Very low pressure; offered options for fixing my damaged rotator cuff but didn't pressure me into making a decision.
