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.

Dr. Phillips is an amazing pediatrician, with my son we went through several doctors who told me nothing was wrong with him , and then we found dr. Phillips who actually listened to me ! And found out that my son was sick. He listens to us and explains everything !!

Dr. Phillips is nice and takes time to talk to you but doesn't think about everyone else. I waited over an hour in the exam room with my 4 month old and no body told me he was behind. Also he doesn't seem to remember past conversations and I don't think the nurses tell him about emails or phone calls. I feel like they wait till problems are big before they see your child. I thought my baby had an ear infection but they wouldn't see him and then at well check a week later he did have one.

We have 3 children, all of whom see Dr. Phillips. He is great with the kids and parents. Very caring and does not make you feel rushed as though he has no time for you. Scheduling appointments is fairly easy. Office is always clean and staff are friendly. The wait time is always long but worth it. I would highly recommend Dr. Phillips

Our pediatrician was out of town so we saw Dr.Phillips. We were so impressed by his bedside manners and how he actually listened to us and our teenager. I would highly recommend him. In fact, if we didn't love our pediatrician so much, we would changing to him immediately!
