Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutly recommend his services for anyone.
Staff was very informative about my procedure. Dr Phillips explained exactly what was to happen and my expected outcome. All the information and follow-up was second to none. I suffered many years before coming to Dr Phillips. I wish I had come earlier. My pain was instantly gone after the surgery. His team is very concerned with your recovery. My wife suffered a stroke the same day I had surgery. His team not only cared for me but also immediately cared for my wife. Even though I could not go see her for a short time they went above and beyond working with her Dr's to get me information on her condition so I did not have to worry about her. Our son also was in a different building recovering from a brain injury. His team made it a point to keep me informed on his condition also. A true show of character of service to his patience.

Lumbar surgery
Dr Phillips performed my lumbar surgery. I am completely well. Even at 4 weeks I was much better than I had been. He is direct and clear, while compassionate. His knowledge in office and surgery was a blessing.

Laminotomy
I was at a point of not being able to stand or walk for more than 5-10 minutes without having to sit and relieve the pain.Saw a specialist who said I needed a laminectomy, then found Dr. Phillips who said he could do one but said a laminotomy would be less invasive and would take care of the issue.He was rightProcedure done Dec. 5th 24 and going strong.Thanks Doc.

Lumbar Discectomy-Phenomenal Experience
I had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Phillips and his staff from start to finish. For something that is thought of as a dreaded and stressful experience for most, I have to say that everything was just so easy and stress free. The logistics of scheduling appointments, imaging, etc to the actual procedure and post op follow up was 5 star across the board. Dr. Phillips explains things so well, and set my mind at ease almost immediately. I came out of surgery with immediate relief. It was hard to believe that my pain was completely gone after dealing with discomfort for so long. I cannot recommend Dr. Phillip’s enough!

Exceeded expectations: Definitely will recommend
Dr. Phillips was excellent. He explained the procedure very clearly before surgery. He performed a lumbar fusion and the recovery has been great. I’m back to work after 8 weeks and doing well. I chose Dr. Phillips because he performed a lumbar fusion on my wife and replaced a disc in my son’s neck and both were successful. My family says he’s the best surgeon on the planet.

Excellent Service
I was referred to Dr. Phillips by a friend to look at my back ache. Dr. Phillips is a friendly, professional Dr. who really cares about his patients. My surgery went exactly as he said and I woke up with zero back and leg pain that I was experiencing for the previous 8 months. I recommend Dr. Phillips and my experience at Baptist in LR went absolutely perfect.

I recommend Dr Phillips to everyone
Dr Phillips and his staff are not only very professional but extremely proficient.I am 5 months out from my neck surgery and just short of 8 weeks out from having back surgery. To me Dr Phillips is a miracle worker. I had no idea how messed up my neck and back were until the pain got so unbearable that I had to go to the Dr. Several X rays and MRI's later I was referred to Dr Phillis and consider myself blessed that he accepted me as a patient. There aren't words to express how appreciative I am of Dr Phillips and his staff. Dr Phillips has definitely given me my life back and I couldn't be more grateful.

Skilled, Thorough, Professional
I had been having pain in my neck for the last couple of years and thought it was due to getting older. When the MRI showed actual spine damage, I was recommended to Dr. Phillips. Dr. Phillips used a spine model to explain the problem with my spine and the procedure to correct it. Although he did tell me the procedure was necessary, he told me to go home and think about it, pray about and talk to family. Once the decision was made, Dr. Phillips performed a cervical decompression and fusion in January. Now two months later I can hold my head up with no pain. From my own experience, I feel like Dr. Phillips is not only a skilled surgeon, but someone who cares about the well being of his patients. His staff have always proved to be friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. Thank you, Dr. Phillips!
