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.

This practice is a disaster. The average wait time for a visit is 2-3 hours. There is no respect for patients. The excuse given by the office managers is that the doctors are in high demand. Basically, it is all about money. They triple book patients.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Phillips?
Referred to Phillips by local optician. Appointments were designed for medicare/older clientele. Surgeries went well. Post Op care - casual & varied by who I spoke to. Contracted severe conjunctivitis 3 days after surgery. Misdiagnosed - allergen, Second visit- conjunctivitis confirmed. No link w/ surgery/aftercare was made One Dr. said waiting room sterilization was lacking. Never heard from Phillips, although told he'd be "in touch"
