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 a wonderful doctor that cares for his patients. I wish I would have known about him 10 years ago!

My granddaughter works forbade. Phillips. After months of her telling me that my pain was coming from my neck and not my shoulder, as I was told by another doctor, I finally made an appointment with Dr. Phillips. He understood that as being 80 years old, I was in no hurry to have any surgery. We talked about each option I had and decided that at home traction would be best. I have been doing the traction and my neck, shoulder and arm pain has pretty much disappeared. Great doctor in my book!
