Dr. Filips has been our family doctor for 18 years. The care and follow-up has been excellent. Appointments can usually be made within 24 hours of a call, and the wait has never been more than 10 minutes. The care has been very personal, and friends we have referred to him have been as satisfied as we have been.

Competent and up-to date physician. He seems to be caring but does not do well with small talk or offer emotional support. If you come in with a problem he is good at figuring out what it is.
