03/28/2023

I have been seeing this doctor for many years.

03/19/2023

Dr. Phillip never gives me the impression that he wants to be at work and taking care of patients. At this appointment, he walked in the room with his hands in his pockets, didn't say anything to me, and I had to greet him by saying "Hello Dr. Phillip, how are you?" His response was "Just peachy". That's really not the way to make your patient feel like you care at all. I felt like an inconvenience. The rest of the appointment was okay, but I just hope that he was actually giving me the appropriate care plan.

03/14/2023

Excellent.

03/13/2023

always a pleasure in a somewhat unpleasant situation

04/14/2022

Wold be very disappointed if he retired!!!

04/11/2022

This is hard to describe. Provider wasn't mean or rude, but generally comes across with an air of a what are you doing here? It doesn't bother me enough to switch providers, but I wouldn't recommend this specific doctor to my friends or family. Just seems like he's there to do a job but doesn't really care about the patient. My need for treatment was met but there was no connection whatsoever.

03/25/2022

Excellent care

He is always kind and friendly.
