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.

Avoid Dr. McPhillips like your life depends on it (because it might.) She is the embodiment of negligence - for example, referred my mother to a horribly expensive therapist (one of her cronies) that she knew was about to be fired for malpractice. The “therapy” sent my my mom spiraling even further and she still hasn’t recovered. Don’t even get me started on her bedside manner. This is Boston, you have many better options for a PCP. Don’t settle for Dr. McPhillips.

I have no problems with Dr. McPhillips as far as competentcy in her field. However, she is probably the most uncompassionate doctor I have ever had to the point of going to nurse practitioners in this Practice just to avoid her and the stress I feel with I visit her.. She does the very minimum since I have been picked up by Medicare and acts put out and disinterested no matter what I ask for, which is usually pretty simple: an explanation, a referral, a test, an opinion. When I was diagnosed with cancer by another doctor and called her to let her know, she acutally said "Oh, that's not good." and acted like she had to get off the phone. I have heard this from a number of my acquaintence who use Dr. McPhillips. Ity is too bad.
