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.

Scheduling practices at St. Luke’s
Totally unacceptable scheduling practices. Complete disregard for Patients. Two hours in waiting room for 10min procedure on multiple occasions.

Dr Phillpotts and his team worked hard to find a resolution. He even set up an appointment and referred me to USF because they were familiar with my eye condition.

I would recommend Dr. Phillpotts to everyone! He is a wonderful doctor! He is friendly and takes time to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand! He never makes you feel like he has to rush, rather he makes you feel that he has all the time in the world with you! He instills confidence in his knowledge and skills! When I am ready for surgery, I will not hesitate to have him be my surgeon!!!
