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.

One of the best!
Dr Phillips took care of me when I had my gallbladder removed! He was the best Dr and explained everything to me step by step! Had the best bedside manner! So glad to have a Dr with the knowledge and experience that Dr Phillips has! If I ever need another surgery, I will go to him!

My first colonoscopy & Dr. Phillips was great. We talked about where we were from, and what he expected to not find. I recommend him if you're thinking about a preventative procedure.

Hi , my name is Dennis. I wanted to take the some time to say thanks to the staff and Dr Phillips. I figure its the least I could do. When you are in need of medical assistance and completely lost on knowledge. It is a wonderful feeling to know there are great people who still care while they show professionalism. Amazing team and am very sure it come naturally through hard work made to seem easy. Once again I thank you men and women for making my life better after and during my surgery.

Condescending, poor bedside manner, forgets to provide test results to patient. He has wonderful nurses and staff, but particularly if you are a woman, I strongly recommend finding someone else for surgical care.

I woke up during surgery, Dr. Phillips denied the whole thing, I was in severe pain after surgery and the nurses did not seem to care or keep my pain under control at all. No care or compassion from him or his staff at all. Most horrific experience ever! Then they tried to rush me out of the hospital within a couple hours before my pain was even under control and I couldn't even walk at that point. Total nightmare!
