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.

Amazing!

Very pleased!!!
I was in extreme pain and couldn't move my arm, my appointment was for 8:10 and I was in a room at 8:11. Went to x-ray within 10 minutes and did not have to wait long for that either. Staff was very nice and Dr. Phillips was wonderful!

Very Pleasant Experience
This was my first time in Dr. Philips office. The office personnel is very friendly and helpful. I received an appointment quickly and did not have to wait more than 5-10 minutes before seeing the doctor. Dr. Philips is easy to talk to and spent time to explain the reasons for my problem and what steps he would use to solve it. I would recommend his office to anyone. Happy to have found Dr. Philips.

Highly recommend!!!
My first experience with Ocean County orthopedists was secondary to a severe fall and fractured shoulder. Dr Phillips and his staff was not only reassuring but comforting and I felt I was in excellent hands. Through follow-up care following surgery it was apparent that my trust was well placed. Can’t praise Dr. Phillips and staff enough!!!

Initial visit
For my first time visiting the office I was treated like an old friend by everyone in the office. Dr. Phillips reviewed with me the problem I was having and then explained the problem and my options for care. All of this done in plain English, then in medical terms. I'm very glad to have gone to him and will continue visiting.

I’ve been having pain in my elbow and Dr. Phillips had suggested a treatment that I wasn’t aware of. Hopefully it will help. But he is very easy to talk to and knowledgeable.

Dr. Phillips listened to what I had to say. He made me feel very comfortable and not like I wasn't being rushed at any time. He went over everything he was planning on doing and made sure I understood what tests he was sending me for and why.
