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.

Very Obtuse
Dr. Phillips immediately gives off the impression that he doesn’t want to be bothered. When he walked in the room both my husband and I felt the air shift to dark and cloudy. I’m shocked because Beaufort Memorial staff has always been kind and friendly. Dr. Phillips has zero bedside manner .I never bothered to engage him about my care. I was totally fine either way leaving the ER not knowing anymore about my ailment then when I came in. I have to now look for another place to go for ERs because I never want to experience David A. Phillips, M.D. AGAIN!

We were in the ER for 10 hours and he saw us for approximately 2 minutes and was quick to blow off our concerns and try to get us discharged at fast as possible. When I continued to ask questions he seemed very uncomfortable and unwilling to further examine the issue we came to the ER for.

This guy stuck his head in the emergency room office for 30 seconds and charged over $200. No indication he did anything behind the scenes. His office staff is very rude and caused several delays and gave wrong information causing the collection agency to get involved after the charge was supposed to be written off per BMH and Phillips office. Don't know if this guy has any skills but his billing and office staff is below one star.

Treated like an object and not even a patient. Doctor refused to listen to any of my concerns. Was sent to drive myself home ever after receiving many pain medications. No one reviewed my discharge papers with me. I was just told I was being sent home and was handed a packet of papers. Doctor walked out on me.

Went in for diarrhoea and severe dehydration. Don't be surprised when this guy sends you a bill and its $500 more than the checkout bill ($750 btw). He may have seen me for 10 minutes. I'm just disappointed that I get the bill around tax season and my dreams are dashed that I will ever get a car. And he doesn't accept my insurance blue cross. It was something this simple shouldn't be that much

Billed $816 for ten minutes with the PA who works under Dr Phillips. That bill was in addition to $3600 bill from Beaufort Memorial ER. Tried to talk to a live person about the bill and could not get through the automated system to a person. Very frustrated
