I've been brushed off by other doctors regarding issues that I have. Dr. Phillips always has taken his time with me and offered a variety of treatment options, explanations of each as well as pro's and con's of each. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia that I was told was "mild" by another doctor, he gave me an exam and scheduled me for surgery because it wasn't a "mild hernia" at all. I was later diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, and I got more information from Dr. Phillips, my family doctor than my specialist (who really only told me what was going on while I was on anesthesia) and what I should be doing to reduce symptoms. If I can't get into my specialist when I'm having issues, I see Dr. Phillips because I know if he thinks its serious enough, I'll be seeing someone immediately. His entire office treats you like you're their family members. Great doctor, great staff, and I trust this man with my life.

I had to wait two weeks just to see Dr. Phillips. I had not been to a doctor in five years and I needed a new general practitioner that was close to work. I also needed help for back pain that I had for 10 years, caused from playing football my whole life, all the way through college. Dr. Phillips treated me like I am a pill junkie when I told him I could not sleep at night due to extreme back pain caused from playing college football ten years ago. He told me to lose weigh and dismissed me. I had to leave work to go to the emergency room five days later because my back was spasming so badly. I got an X-Ray and was then diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. My back still hurts badly as I am waiting for two more weeks to attend physical therapy prescribed by my new doctor. Also, the CAT scan Dr. Phillips scheduled for me was denied by my insurance because I needed to go through physical therapy first. Dr. Phillips just ordered a CAT scan, told me to lose weight, and sent me on my way. Thanks Doctor Phillips. I know now that you obviously have no idea what it is like to play every snap during four years of college football, on top of being a competitive weight lifter my whole life. Dr. Phillips should review his Hippocratic oath a few times. I sure I hope I never become so cold and arrogant in my old age.

I am always so impressed with how quickly my calls are answered here. I am never put on hold for a long time and love knowing that if I have a quick question I won't have to wait a half hour through terrible music to get it answered. It was very easy to get an appointment. They have a very flexible schedule and get me in fairly quickly every time. They always make an extra effort to make me feel respected and attended to. They always listen to every question or concern I may have. I'm usually somewhat sensitive to the cold, so I was a little worried that their office would be too cold, but it was fine. I was very comfortable the entire time. Dr. Lauren Harting was very good about suggesting a specialist when we needed it. Excellent staff!!!
